In 2025, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela exported goods valued at approximately US$8.3 billion to international markets.

Compared with 2021, when exports totaled about US$4.84 billion, Venezuela's export revenue increased by 71.6% over the five-year period.

However, export performance weakened significantly on a year-over-year basis. The total value of Venezuelan exports declined by 41.1%, falling from US$14.1 billion in 2024 to US$8.3 billion in 2025.

Located on the northern coast of South America, Venezuela shares borders with Guyana, Brazil, and Colombia, while maintaining access to important international shipping routes through the Caribbean Sea.

The Venezuelan economy continues to rely heavily on petroleum-related exports, making the country particularly sensitive to fluctuations in global energy prices and demand conditions.

With a population estimated at 26.7 million, Venezuela's 2025 export value equates to roughly US$300 per resident, lower than the approximately US$500 per capita recorded in 2024.
