Raport secret al Securității, la o fabrică comunistă din Alba Iulia: Untul refuzat la export se strica, dar nu mergea în magazine

A secret report reveals that in 1986, a dairy factory in Alba Iulia produced large quantities of butter for export that went unsold, leading to spoilage while domestic availability was low. Despite having 170 tons of butter, 90 tons exceeded their shelf life and could not be sold locally due to central planning restrictions. The factory attempted to re-label the expired products but faced employee dissatisfaction as food scarcity persisted in stores. This situation exemplifies the contradictions of the planned economy under communism, where production continued without buyers, resulting in waste and economic losses.
