Independent, on-the-ground news and analysis on Venezuela.
Growing worry in south/eastern Venezuela as water levels continue to rise in the Orinoco River. It's good news for electricity generation, but several towns bordering the river are now on high alert for flooding
El río Orinoco llegó hoy al nivel de alerta amarilla frente a Ciudad Bolívar. Se ubica en 17 m.s.n.m., 24 cms por encima de la cota registrada el 2018, año cuando alcanzó un nivel de 18, 34 en el mes de agosto e inundó parte del paseo y del malecón.
The Venezuelan oil industry has absorbed the blow of tightened US sanctions by raising its exports to China. The Maduro government continues to court foreign investment to boost the energy sector. Read our report: venezuelanalysis.com/news/venezuela…
Not clear so far how this purchase is going to look like, but it'd be interesting if Vzla retains a minority share and possibly remains as a raw material supplier. It would allow Colombia to maintain its agricultural market under control and provide some revenue to Venezuela
Venezuela made the decision to sell the asset due to the impending danger of US sanctions against the company returning. Hence Colombian authorities also reaching out to the US Treasury guacamayave.com/en/colombia-se…

The Maduro government successfully negotiated the return of 252 Venezuelan migrants who had been deported and jailed in El Salvador. The returnees arrived on Friday night and were reunited with relatives following a months-long campaign venezuelanalysis.com/news/maduro-go…
Coffee is a widespread and historical crop in Vzla. It was one of the country's biggest exports before the discovery of oil 100 years ago. In recent years, small-scale producers have repeatedly denounced agribusinesses practices, including violation of agreed-upon crop prices
The move follows a similar one in Sanare, Lara state, that saw 21 local communes take over a plant following disastrous efforts to hand it over to the private sector. VA columnist @JessiDosSantos wrote about it in this piece venezuelanalysis.com/columns/venezu…
An interesting development as the Venezuelan government transferred a coffee-processing factory in Portuguesa state from the state-owned Venezuelan Coffee Corporation to local popular power organizations. Authorities have identified coffee as an export priority
