Venezuela has left behind the coffee production crisis of 2020, according to the executive director of the Confederation of Agricultural Producers Associations of Venezuela (Fedeagro), Vicente Pérez, and has recovered production levels not seen in 25 years.

According to the union leader, the country projects a harvest of 1,800,000 quintals for the 2026-2027 cycle, “matching the sector’s records from the beginning of the 21st century.”

This recovery is the result of years of continuous investment in agriculture by producers, in addition to the implementation of improved economic policies.

Pérez emphasized that the rebound in coffee harvest volume “will guarantee domestic consumption” and allow for a continued gradual increase in the percentage of quintals destined for export.

Vicente Pérez, leader of the Venezuelan Confederation of Agricultural Producers Associations, urged the government to facilitate export permits for the country’s coffee growers, noting that they are not benefiting from the current price of $440 per quintal.

According to Pérez, who sent greetings to coffee growers on International Coffee Day, facilitating export permits is “key to stabilizing domestic prices during the harvest,” in addition to allowing Venezuela to regain the market niches it had previously conquered.

The leader pointed out that for more than 100 years, coffee growers have organized themselves into cooperatives or associations to export their product. But abandoning these practices harms exports. The current figures, between 100,000 and 120,000 quintals of coffee marketed, are far below the 600,000 quintals that were exported in the past.

Pérez emphasized that despite a situation marked by shortages of inputs and fuel, and price controls, the sector has managed to maintain and even increase production.
