What word should pair with paucity when paucity is being decreased?

For example, if there is a paucity of food and new supply has arrived, would it be a correct usage to say 

> 
> **"New supply has decreased the paucity of food"**. 
> 
> 
> 

**"Reduce"** as an alternative to **"decrease"** has crossed my mind. Google didn't help much.
