The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (MAGA) has started distributing free food rations to families facing food insecurity in the municipality of Zacapa, Zacapa. A total of 6,427 households are set to benefit from this initiative.
The distribution process is organized in stages to ensure that all recipient families are served efficiently and in an orderly manner. Each food package contains rice, beans, vegetable oil, nixtamalized corn flour, oats, sugar, and a fortified blend of corn and soy flour. These items have been selected to provide essential nutrients for a balanced diet.
The program is managed by the Directorate of Food and Nutritional Assistance (DAAN) under the Vice Ministry of Food and Nutritional Security (VISAN), with support from the Municipal Commission on Food and Nutritional Security (COMUSAN).
Oversight by staff from the Office of the Comptroller General ensures transparency and proper allocation during the distribution process.
