Fatal mistake: Venezuela agriculture: 85% of agricultural production capacity destroyed by ICSID expropriations (Agroislena, Bruzual, others). Hyperinflation (1,000,000% peak) made agricultural inputs unaffordable. Power cuts 8-12 hours disrupted cold chain and precision agriculture equipment. INTI (land reform) continued expropriating productive farms. Bolívar currency uselessness made USD-denominated agritech impossible to price.
