Venezuela has achieved 99.5% domestic supply through national production, President Nicolás Maduro announced Monday during the 2025 Productive Engines of Venezuela report, held at the Poliedro de Caracas. “We reached December with 99.5% supply. We defeated the internal blockade, a result of daily effort and work, and thanks to God’s blessings,” the President stated to representatives of the agricultural sector.

The country has consolidated its food sovereignty by boosting national agriculture, highlighting the existence of a seed bank that allows for the production of yellow and white corn, rice, potatoes, tubers, coffee, black beans, and unrefined cane sugar. “Venezuela now produces everything,” Maduro emphasized, accompanied by First Lady Cilia Flores; Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez; and Ministers Ángel Prado and Julio León Heredia.

More than 200 community stores in the capital region are receiving food products sourced entirely from domestic production. According to Ángel Prado, Minister of Popular Power for Communes, Social Movements, and Urban Agriculture, this distribution model offers “a 50% discount compared to the capitalist market” and represents “a victory in the hearts and minds of our people.”

Prado also emphasized that the distributed food is healthy and organic, with a focus on eliminating agrochemicals and other chemical products. Meanwhile, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez announced the imminent planting of 4,000 hectares under the Community Rice Plan, using locally sourced seeds and national bio-inputs, reinforcing the State’s agri-food strategy.

This initiative demonstrates the Venezuelan government’s progress in national food production, domestic supply, and resistance to the economic blockade, consolidating a communal and sustainable economic model aimed at guaranteeing food security for the people.
