Juntas de Abastecimientos y Precios

Juntas de Abastecimiento y Precios (JAP, literally "Committees of Supply and Prices") were local administrative units in Chile created in the last years of President Salvador Allende's government. The JAP were essentially rationing boards, designed to alleviate the chronic shortages of basic foodstuffs and supplies that were affecting the country. Following the September 11, 1973 coup d'état, the Pinochet dictatorship abolished the JAP almost immediately.
