Venezuela's Rodríguez Lands in Rome With 4 Ministers
The plan aims to link food production with social distribution networks and comes as Rodríguez says sanctions cut output by 16%, officials said.
- On Monday, October 12, Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez launched the "Venezuela Alimenta" plan at the FAO World Food Forum in Rome, targeting zero hunger by linking national food production with social distribution networks.
- Rodríguez blamed more than 1,000 United States sanctions for a 16% decline in food output, claiming measures blocked credit and agricultural imports; the government's assertions remain unverified.
- The U.S. Treasury designated Rodríguez on its sanctions list in 2018, maintaining that status until April 1, 2026, when she was removed without explanation.
- Negotiations between the government and the 2015 National Assembly bloc resume Wednesday, October 14, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio's backing after meeting opposition negotiator Dinorah Figuera in Washington.
- Citing FAO hunger reports, Rodríguez claimed undernourishment fell to 3% this year from 5.3% in 2025, as the government prepares a local economy law for the National Assembly.
