A new study conducted by More Consulting adds to evidence that Venezuela doesn’t have enough food to go around, leaving at least 15% of the people to eat out of the trash.
The study reveals that 52% have to resort to re-sellers, while more than 36% have to exchange food with relatives and friends. More than 45% get food at private supermarkets.

72% of Venezuelans -surpassing 21 million people- do not have an adequate diet. In contrast, only 24.8% of citizens have adequate food consisting of proteins, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruits.
More Consulting polled more than 2,000 people to obtain these numbers, which revealed that nearly 48 percent of Venezuelans are not adequately nourished. The survey also showed that most people in Venezuela fear the possibility of running out of food, living under the worry of getting it. 88.9% have feared, at some point, of running out of food at home.
Nearly 53.9% of Venezuelans said that at least once, they have gone to bed hungry.
