Venezuela's El Rey chocolate stopped production?

[eugenep]

I was always worried about the political situation in Venezuela and how it would affect some of their luxury goods, premium rum and chocolate. 

 

I always buy my chocolates from their Texas based store. 

 

I go online and their white chocolates and many brands are all gone - Criollo, Meiji etc. -  and it's just two that's left.

Does anyone know what happened to the company and did the economy tank it's production? 

 

I checked google news but nothing 

 

thanks

I just received this email:

 

Now Available - 73.5% Apamate, 70% Gran Saman, and 61% Mijao Discos!

We are excited to announce that our Apamate, Gran Saman, and Mijao discos are now available again!

 

Due to ongoing socio-political problems in Venezuela, there were delays in production of these popular products, and we apologize for the unavailability and appreciate all of our customers' support.
