these challenges.

Venenzula Crisis
In May 2016Coca-Cola has stopped making its trademark fizzy pop in Venezuela
because of a shortage of sugar in the economically troubled South American
country.
Coke, as well as other sugar-sweetened drinks, has halted completely, citing a
combination of government price controls, rising costs of production, restrictive
labor laws and a lack of fertilizer that have pushed many small-scale farmers to
switch to other crops.
Sugar suppliers in Venezuela have informed us that they will temporarily cease
operations due to a lack of raw materials, Coca-Cola spokeswoman Kerry
Tressler.
