CARACAS, Venezuela, April 8 (UPI) -- Despite a severe energy-related crisis at home, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has promised generous assistance to Uruguay that will include crude oil at discounted rates and help with oil refining.

Chavez lamented the decline of farming in Venezuela, pointing out the poor milk yields compared with those in Uruguay, MercoPress reported.

"Uruguayan cows average 25 liters per day; our cows hardly make two to three liters, we've even forgotten how to milk in spite of the fertile lands we have," Chavez said.
