CARACAS (Dispatches) -- Venezuelan Agriculture Minister Wilmar Castro Soteldo says Caracas has offered at least five million hectares of land following agricultural investment agreements with producers from Iran and other countries.
He made the remarks at a presentation ahead of the Iran-Venezuela scientific, industrial and technological expo fair, which is planned to open in Caracas on Wednesday. “We are making available five to seven million hectares that our country has to develop to reach 30 million cultivable hectares,” the minister said.
