Caracas, April 7, 2025 – Authorities from the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) met this Monday at the People’s Power Ministry for Foreign Affairs to review the progress of the Agroalba Project.
The meeting, chaired by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, was attended by the People’s Power Minister for Productive Agriculture and Lands, Julio León Heredia; the Minister of Industries and National Production, Alex Saab; the Executive Secretary of ALBA-TCP, Jorge Arreaza; and the Vice Minister for Caribbean Affairs and Chairman of the Executive Board of the Bank of ALBA, Raúl Li Causi.
Through his social media platforms, Minister Gil emphasized that Agroalba is “a matter of vital importance for Venezuela and Latin America,” highlighting it as a project “aimed at strengthening food sovereignty and defending the rights of our farmers, both women and men.”
As a geopolitical mechanism for strategic partnership in the agricultural sector, Agroalba lays the groundwork for inclusive and sustainable economic development for the benefit of the entire region, while also promoting Petrocaribe and the regional Alliance. It therefore serves as an invitation to investors and entrepreneurs around the world to join in this mission of economic transformation.
Recently, during the 25th ALBA-TCP Political Council, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced the upcoming Expo Agroalba 2025, scheduled to take place from April 24 to 27 in Caracas.
At the time, the Head of State emphasized that the member countries of the integration bloc have vast potential for joint development in the agricultural sector. “We have the land, we have the favorable climate, we have the water resources, we have the valuable experience we have gained,” he stated.
