According to recent statements by the president of the National Federation of Livestock Producers of Venezuela (Fedenaga), Édgar Medina, an increase in domestic meat consumption is projected for 2026.

Medina added in a radio interview that they are also seeking to “position the country as a potential exporter of meat, milk, and dairy products.”

The federation president maintained that to strengthen production, it is necessary to activate the credit portfolio in banks, as well as “facilitate the acquisition of breeding stock and renew agricultural machinery, and guarantee the supply of fuel to livestock farms.”

Furthermore, he highlighted the government’s coordinated efforts to import female cattle from Brazil and Colombia to increase national inventories and strengthen intensive fattening. This will ensure supply to the end consumer.

Medina emphasized that Venezuela has the ideal climate and land “to become a reliable exporter of meat, milk, and byproducts, consolidating the livestock chain and contributing to the national Gross Domestic Product.”

Edgar Medina, president of the National Federation of Livestock Producers of Venezuela (Fedenaga), stated in a recent interview with Unión Radio that the national livestock sector has shown significant recovery.

Medina indicated that this improvement has been achieved despite “the economic and logistical challenges facing the country,” and added that “currently, around 1,550,000 head of cattle are slaughtered annually to supply the domestic market, including both cattle and buffalo, although exports remain paralyzed while work continues on rebuilding the herds.”

The official specified that this total corresponds to cattle – bulls, cows, steers, and their derivatives – and approximately 300,000 head of buffalo.

He also referred to the importance of the “Venezuela Free of Foot-and-Mouth Disease with Vaccination” certification, which will open doors to new opportunities in international markets. “The second vaccination cycle began on November 1st, and producers’ associations are promoting the inoculation of all cattle in the country,” Medina noted.

It is important to highlight that Venezuela is the only country in the region that does not yet have this certification. In this regard, “Fedenaga is working with the Venezuelan Foundation for Agricultural Health (Funvesa), the National Institute of Comprehensive Agricultural Health (INSA), and the national government to achieve it in the coming years.”

For the president of Fedenaga, the livestock sector is a key pillar of the national economy and a determining factor in guaranteeing food security for the population. M. Pino
