In a recent meeting, Jorge Arreaza, Executive Secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), and Julio León Heredia, Venezuela’s Minister of Productive Agriculture and Lands, discussed various strategies to boost food production in the country through the AgroAlba project. 

The meeting focused on promoting organic foods, with the goal of increasing non-oil exports and strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors. This effort is part of a broader commitment to ensuring food sovereignty in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and other regions.

AgroAlba aims to transform the agricultural, livestock, and poultry sectors by encouraging productive investment and prioritizing organic products.

The initiative seeks to strengthen the agri-food sector of ALBA-TCP member nations, promoting sustainable development that benefits their citizens.
