Apparently, it only needs to be structured integrally and give it a strategic dimension.In this article processes and operations binding aspects of Zulia dairy circuit with reverse logistics are presented. In this sense, the reverse logistics in the supply chain of dairy derivatives companies in Zulia is characterized. Guide strategies and reverse logistics activities as socially responsible practices are submitted. This becomes challenging, since implementing a reverse logistics system as an essential and potential strategy is a difficult issue given the country’s socio-economic and political situation.

The lack of production and distribution of food in Venezuela brings with it scarcity and shortages in basic food products. Regulations on prices control over products to buy and excessive queues have affected the access and availability of these by the population. Faced with this reality, the Venezuelan government has defined policies, strategies and programs to guarantee access to food products, for which it has developed since 2000, food programs to solve the situation described above. Consequently the purpose of this research work is to characterize the process of food distribution of the Venezuelan State during the period 2000-2017. The methodology used is descriptive-analytical, under a documentary and qualitative approach. Specialized documents are reviewed, identifying relevant theoretical elements associated with the distribution process.The large investments made in this sector have not resulted in lasting benefits, social welfare and a greater and better quality of life of the population. The architecture of the distribution process, defined at the beginning (at the birth of the Mercal Network) elements, actors and clearly defined strategies, these were restructured over the years. Today, a house-to- house distribution system is assumed, with new actors and new strategies, but without the guarantee of a national supply of food products with a frequency that will continuously support the development of the food distribution process assumed by the national government.
