Venezuela: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The lack of agricultural inputs, price controls and rising production costs continue to negatively impact agricultural production in Venezuela. Timely imports of agricultural and food products are becoming more critical due to the unavailability of foreign exchange and delays in government import procedures. Food scarcity is on the rise resulting in long lines at supermarkets, higher real prices, and consumer dissatisfaction as the government maneuvers to implement new policies to further control food production and distribution.
