Franklin Brito Biography

Franklin Brito is one of the most popular and richest Farmer who was born on September 5, 1960 in Irapa, Venezuela.

In 1999 the Instituto Agrario Nacional gave Brito a tax-free title to a 717-acre (290 ha) property he owned in La Tigrera, in Sucre, Bolivar State.

In 2002 Brito submitted a project to the Corporación Venezolana de Guayana (CVG) to combat a disease that was affecting the yam plantations in Sucre Municipality, Bolívar State. However, his proposal entered in conflict with another one adopted by Sucre’s Mayor, Juan Carlos Figarella, a member of the political party, Fifth Republic Movement. Brito also alerted the CVG about the supposed existence of a risk of the misappropriation of the funds in case that Figarella’s proposal was accepted. Finally, Sucre’s Mayor project was rejected, but Brito lost his post in Sucre Mayoralty’s Agricultural Institute shortly after. He was also fired from his job as a secondary school teacher, and his wife from her job as a teacher at another public school. In both cases, the Britos denounced that their longevity and severance benefits were not paid.

Venezuelan Vice President Elías Jaua also expressed “regret”, reiterating the government’s position that Brito’s land “had never been expropriated”.
