With this decision, the administration of legitimate President Nicolás Maduro will be able to appoint the board of this company based in the Colombian city of Barranquilla, according to the Colombian Superintendent, Billy Escobar.

"The decision means that we ratify the will of the Venezuelan Government to appoint the board of directors and this corresponds to the legality that is handled in the Colombian State in relation to the owners of a company who have the possibility of choosing their directors, then we are making the legal recognition of that situation, we are validating a decision," he commented.

The meeting took place at the headquarters of the Caracas embassy in Bogota, in which the Colombian Supersociedades, Monomeros and Plasencia signed an agreement to transfer this company to the Venezuelan State was made official.

According to Maduro's government, by 2018, Monómeros, a subsidiary of state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), produced 860,000 tons of fertilizers but said that in 2019 it only had 22 percent of its operating capacity.
