Venezuela boosts sugar production through the 2026 Agro-Industrial Plan
The states of Yaracuy, Sucre, and Zulia receive support through the 2026 Agro-Industrial Plan for sugar production in Venezuela
Through the 2026 Agro-Industrial Plan, the Venezuelan Ministry of Productive Agriculture and Lands is boosting sugar production in the states of Yaracuy, Sucre, and Zulia.
These states contribute more than 3,000 jobs and ensure the supply of this nationally produced product. This was confirmed by the government agency, which, in conjunction with the Venezuelan Sugar Corporation (CVA Azúcar), plans to revitalize the “technical and operational rehabilitation aimed at consolidating self-sufficiency in the national market.”
The 2026 Comprehensive Agro-industrial Plan “promotes milling and refining at the country’s main sugar mills. These advances guarantee solid production to cover national domestic consumption.”
Specifically, by region, in the state of Yaracuy, full operations are reported in the municipality of Veroes. The reactivation of the Santa Clara sugar mill has allowed for the processing of 38,000 tons of muscovado sugar to date. “The industrial infrastructure is maintaining its maximum refining capacity of 600 tons per day, projecting a surplus of 33,500 tons of white sugar and 800 tons of molasses.”
In Sucre state, in eastern Venezuela, milling targets are being met at the Cumanacoa mill. The sugar mill of the same name “reports 100 % progress in its refining areas and 85% in milling.” The complex, located in the Montes municipality, anticipates the start of the harvest at the end of April to process a volume of up to 50,000 tons of sugarcane.
Meanwhile, in Zulia state, the expansion of planting is underway in the South of Lake Maracaibo. The Venezuela Sugar Agro-Industrial Complex, in the Sucre municipality, is prioritizing agricultural development to guarantee raw materials for the upcoming cycles. “After completing a milling of 33,976 tons, the state-owned company activated the planting of 524 hectares of sugarcane at the UPSA (Sugar Agro-Industrial Unit) Torondoy.” This investment in the field guarantees the plant’s operational sustainability and “strengthens the social base by generating 1,200 indirect jobs.”
