In 1965, beside the CONASUPO, the Milk Hydration Company was created, that in 1972 would transform itself into Liconsa, with the purpose of helping the most needy people in the urban and rural sectors. It was during this period, that the government established big warehouses of supply and community shops of CONASUPO.
The programs of the Conasupo increased the consumption of food in the poorest sectors of the country through general subsidies.
It was shut down in 1999. After this, Liconsa operated under the same precepts as CONASUPO.[1]
