Caracas, February 18, 2025 – The Venezuelan National Assembly (AN) approved this Tuesday the first discussion of the Draft Law Approving the Framework Agreement on Agricultural Cooperation, adopted during the 24th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), in accordance with Article 104 of the AN’s Rules of Procedure and Debate.

The project was presented by Deputy Roy Daza, who underscored the importance of Latin American unity and the added value it brings to the economies of ALBA-TCP member countries, which promote cooperation, exchange, complementarity, and mutual benefit.

“The ideas outlined in the framework project encompass productive and equitable development, focusing on key areas such as technical cooperation, production and productivity, the diversification of our agricultural sector, agri-food trade among member countries, and the promotion of investments. These investments—state, private, and from various nations—must be aligned with joint actions aimed at strengthening agriculture in our countries,” Daza emphasized.

This agreement was introduced on February 3 by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, during a virtual meeting of ALBA-TCP member states, where he highlighted the importance of consolidating the AgroALBA initiative to advance and reinforce innovative agricultural concepts, ensuring the production and export of organic foods as an alternative to those produced with genetically modified seeds and agrochemical pesticides.

In this context, the first AgroALBA 2025 Fair will be held as a platform for exchanging productive experiences, fostering investments, and addressing other related topics.
