Vegetable production in Venezuela increased 30 %
Fedeagro reported this week a 30 % increase in vegetable production in Venezuela during the first seven months of the year
The director of vegetables for the Confederation of Agricultural Producers Associations (Fedeagro), Emilio Breindembach, noted that during the first seven months of 2025, the sector grew 30 %.
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.
He referred to a historic change in vegetable production in just a decade, as Venezuela previously imported around 85 % of its food supply. Currently, domestic production meets 97 % of consumer demand.
Regarding the distribution of produce to the various states, he reiterated that there are delays due to road problems.
