Caracas, May 7, 2025 – In a meeting with representatives of various diplomatic missions, the People’s Power Minister for Agriculture and Lands of Venezuela, Julio León Heredia, presented the Agroalba project on Tuesday, an initiative aimed at strengthening agricultural production in the region through international cooperation.

During the meeting, León Heredia highlighted the impact and objectives of the project, and emphasized the opportunities for integration available to countries outside the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America–Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP). “Agroalba is a macro-project open to all nations, regardless of political affiliation, with the aim of promoting sustainable agricultural development and ensuring food security in the region,” he stated.

He also announced the upcoming Agroalba Expo-Fair, an event that will serve as a showcase for the progress and achievements of this initiative. The expo-fair seeks to promote the exchange of knowledge, technologies, and best practices in the agricultural sector, facilitating interaction among producers, investors, and governments.

“Collaboration among countries is key to overcoming the challenges facing the agricultural sector and to strengthening our food sovereignty. Agroalba represents a unique opportunity to join efforts and consolidate an efficient and sustainable production model,” the minister concluded, calling on more nations to join this integration proposal.

With this initiative, Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to agricultural development and international cooperation by promoting progress in the sector and opening new doors for the exchange of ideas and resources among countries.
