Venezuelan Exports to China Grow 120% in the First Half of 2025

Venezuela has achieved remarkable growth in its exports to China during the first half of 2025, registering a 120% increase compared to the same period in 2024, according to the country’s Minister of Foreign Trade, Coromoto Godoy.

This development not only highlights the strengthening of bilateral trade but also reflects the diversification of Venezuela’s export portfolio. Agricultural products, seafood, and light industrial goods have seen a significant rise in demand, proving that non-oil sectors are increasingly driving the economy forward.

During a meeting in Beijing with Li Chenggang, China’s Vice Minister of Commerce, both parties emphasized that this growth consolidates their “All-Weather, All-Time” strategic alliance. The strong trade dynamics also create opportunities for local producers and reinforce Venezuela’s path toward industrialization.

For a logistics company like CEA Cargo, this scenario represents multiple opportunities to enhance and expand its role in global supply chains:

• Expanding service portfolios: The growing demand for non-oil exports to China requires specialized logistics for perishable goods such as fruits, seafood, and processed agricultural products.
• Strengthening international supply chains: Efficient solutions in maritime shipping, customs management, regulatory compliance, and quality control become increasingly vital.
• Boosting international visibility: Venezuela’s rising reputation as a reliable supplier to China opens doors for stronger trade partnerships and bilateral agreements, where logistics providers can act as facilitators.

Optimizing costs and delivery times: With higher export volumes, efficiency in route planning, cargo consolidation, and customs procedures will be essential to keep operations competitive for exporters and importers alike.
