Earlier Report Observations

Production of fresh pumpkins, squash and gourds in Venezuela increased from 102.6 thousand tonnes in 2018 to a peak of 117.8 thousand tonnes in 2021, reflecting a period of gradual expansion in domestic output.

The market then contracted over the next two years, falling to 107.6 thousand tonnes in 2022 and further to 94.3 thousand tonnes in 2023. This decline coincided with broader economic challenges in the country's agricultural sector, including high inflation affecting vegetable prices, pest and disease problems, and inadequate post-harvest storage, all of which impacted the availability and affordability of fresh produce. Concurrently, the National Agricultural Plan for 2023 focused on achieving food sovereignty and transforming Venezuela into a food exporter by 2030, while community initiatives like urban gardens and collective farming aimed to improve access to fresh products. The supermarket sector also underwent growth and transformation, adapting to consumer preferences and expanding its fresh produce offerings.
