A fact from Coffee production in Venezuela appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 June 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Venezuela formerly produced almost as much coffee as Colombia, but by 2001 its coffee production was only about one percent of world production?

Decline in coffee due to emergence of major oil producing country?

"This decline in coffee production in the country is also attributed to the nation emerging as a major oil producing country in the world thus downsizing the importance of coffee in the country."

This statement makes very little sense. Venezuela has been a major oil producing country for many decades. It actually produces less oil in 2013 than it did in the 1990s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.142.0.108 (talk) 15:41, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
