This February 18, the meeting of agriculture ministers of the member states of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America-Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) will be held, as part of the follow-up to the Postpandemic 2021 Work Plan.

The main objective of the telematic meeting is to establish strategic and joint response actions to promote the agri-food sector, given the negative impact generated by the health emergency of COVID-19.

Last December, President Nicolás Maduro advocated to coordinate actions to integrate the productive plans of the Alliance on the basis of cooperation and complementarity.

The president proposed the generalization of the method promoted by the Great Mission Agro Venezuela, made up of nine vertices and aimed at expanding productive capacities in order to achieve food sovereignty.

“A true revolution must produce all its food and must have the capacity to export to the brother peoples of ALBA-TCP”, the Head of Sate asserted at that time.

The meeting of Ministers of Agriculture of the member states of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America-Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) will be held to draw up joint strategies to guarantee food, said this Wednesday the president of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro.

From the Miraflores Palace, located in Caracas, he explained that the meeting will be conducive to expose the methodology of the Great AgroVenezuela Mission, made up of nine vertices, aimed at expanding productive capacities in order to achieve food sovereignty.

“I put the method of the Great AgroVenezuela Mission at the command of the peoples of ALBA”, he stressed.

This call will be in charge of the Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, who must include “among the most urgent meetings in January, a meeting to discuss this method and to integrate the productive plans of ALBA to guarantee food to the peoples of ALBA”.

The dignitary highlighted that the relaunch of the Great AgroVenezuela Mission, which occurred last September, “has been a total success”, which is why he urged the corresponding authorities to “permanently review it, listen to farmers and producers, seek opinions and listen to criticism and alerts” to consolidate the national agribusiness.
