Comuna Ribereña del Caño Mánamo

Four hours for the 40 liters of buffalo milk to begin to circulate outside the pasture: either for the Caño Ripana Commune Mánamo Hugo Chávez Frías to drink it or consume it in cheeses. And so it has been since 2010, when after so many meetings and river crusades, the 1,900 inhabitants of Tucupita and Uracoa joined the Delta Amacuro and Monagas states since the peasant solidarity participation. Union that has turned cheese and milk into epicenters of a communal development that we could not fail to review. The first thing: it all started because Miryam and Humberto, peasants of the community, insisted on making a commune to ensure local development. The plan: self-supply. The method: invert the surpluses of milk and cheese they produced every day. And they did not bet in vain: the milk and cheese of the 60 buffalo they had, he gave them to build homes, travel to other communities to share experiences, and secure food for everyone in the commune. With little, they worked wonders. But that development could not stop there. The villagers understand that they plow at sea if they do not have complete control of the production chain. Therefore, among its main projects are the construction of processing plants for bora and plantain, a social market and establish a way with which they put in solitary confinement and establish once and for all their economic autonomy.
