In Venezuela’s grocery stores, 20,000 fingerprint scanners will be installed - in this way, the authorities will deal with a shortage of goods, queues and riots. Selling fingerprint products will not allow speculators to buy goods in large quantities in order to hold them for price increases and resell.

In January 2015, residents of Venezuela were
forbidden to buy food more than twice a week, and the poor received food ration cards for essential goods. The number of visits is monitored by police officers, and immigration officers are responsible for countering smuggling: Colombians buy cheap goods and send them to other countries. The shortage of goods and medicines caused mass protests.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Madura
announced that seven retail chains would voluntarily install fingerprint scanners.
