The establishment of Agropatria under the Land Ministry in 2010 was a direct instruction from the President of Venezuela. The objective was to develop different policies to address the food crisis, expand food production and eliminate food shortage. The mandate of the entity entails planting, harvesting, production and distribution of food products. The company owns about 1 362 tractors and has established a factory for harvest machines. It works with countries such as Argentina, Chile and Belarus.
