This Wednesday, the National Institute of Nutrition (INN) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), made up of specialists from the headquarters in Rome and from the representation in Venezuela, concluded the second day of work of the Technical Methodological Update Session on Food Balance Sheets (HBA).
From the premises of the Ministry of People's Power for Science and Technology, during a day aimed at strengthening the country's nutritional information systems, the INN team shared with a delegation of FAO experts their experience in calculating and systematizing HBAs.
In this regard, the Venezuelan representation presented the internal processes applied to the estimation of primary production, the calculation of imports and exports, and the consolidation of the national food balance.
On the other hand, the interaction with the international delegation made it possible to incorporate new global methodologies and good international practices to optimize food availability indicators in the national territory.
