The president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Pharmacies (Cavefar), Alicia Pinedo, reported a 10 % year-on-year increase in national drug consumption in February.

Pinedo noted that 85 % of the drugs consumed in the country are domestically manufactured, emphasizing that “most of the drugs sold are generics, which are primarily sold by independent pharmacies.”

She highlighted the success of generic products, as customers obtain a cheaper product with the same quality.

The president of Cavefar has participated in working groups with representatives of the national government and the Vice Presidency of Science, Technology, and Health on topics such as the supply of essential medicines, health oversight, and digitalization to automate all procedures, ensuring traceability and prompt response.

According to the official, the leading vegetable crops are potatoes, onions, and tomatoes. Breindembach highlighted Fedeagro’s efforts to meet the national demand for vegetables.

The toy sector in Venezuela is optimistically preparing for the holiday season, asserting that shipments are departing and that product availability is guaranteed. Daniela López, president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce of Toys and Related Items (Cavenju), highlighted the sector’s resilience, maintaining unit sales.

The official confirmed that toy importers and distributors are fully prepared for the holiday season, with shipments on the way to meet Christmas demand.

López emphasized that Cavenju continues to collect data on the exact number of active toy stores in the country. A relevant fact is that the average selling price of a toy is $10, which provides a clear reference for consumers.

He also emphasized that the publication in the Official Gazette of the tariff requested from the Venezuelan authorities has been a significant step forward for the sector. Likewise, the chamber is collaborating with the Ministry of Industry and National Production to encourage toy manufacturing nationwide, seeking to strengthen local production.

According to the first vice president of Fedcámaras, Adam Celis, Decree 4,552 driven by the National Government on tariffs does not cover expectations between the productive and economic sectors of the country so it is inefficient to improve production.

For celis, the Maduro administration incorporated taxes to many of the raw materials that are not done in Venezuela, while the finished product “if it is released”.

Likewise, he considered that in the gazette there are aspects that are not clear, because it leaves the possibility of the importer open to continue exercising without paying VAT or without canceling any type of tariff.

Celis reiterated that the Executive Decree “does not cover the expectations that are being looking for, of encouraging national production, and it is necessary to meet a series of sanitary standards and these imports were not fulfilling several things.”
