Venezuela: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Venezuela is a significant importer of agricultural products totaling $8.3 billion in 2014, according to data from the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (GBRV). Total U.S. agricultural and food exports over the last five calendar years (2010-2014) averaged $1.3 billion per year. However, 2015 U.S. agricultural export values were down 40 percent through October compared to the same time period a year before. Agricultural commodity and product importers are challenged by a Venezuelan economy in crisis with astronomical inflation and severe restrictions on accessing foreign currency.
