The president in charge of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, stressed that this year 2026, significant growth in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected, thanks to the strengthening of productive engines to satisfy the domestic market and for exports.

During a tour of the Pacific Seafood CA fish processing plant, located in the parish of Santa Inés de Cumaná, in the state of Sucre, Rodríguez highlighted the importance of production and export for Venezuela to receive foreign exchange. “It's a way to defeat the economic blockade,” he said.

He highlighted that, in terms of fishing and aquaculture, the country registered growth of approximately 6% of GDP in the year 2025. “In the first two months of the year (...) we are 23% higher than in 2025.”

“I have also been talking with the president of the Central Bank of Venezuela, who has given me good news for the final closing of the year 2025, a positive end to economic growth for Venezuela, and this year 2026 we also have extraordinary projections of GDP growth (...) in this case, to guarantee food in our people,” he emphasized.
