Peru, Brazil, and CHile already achieved millenium development goal 1A in 2008
Extreme poverty and hunger cut in half. I knew there was more to the propaganda than meets the eye from Weisbrot and the chavistas here.
"By late 2008, Latin America had progressed 85% of the way towards fulfilling target 1.A of
Millennium Development Goal 1. Despite the uncertainty and volatility prevailing across the
region since then, Latin American countries as a whole could still attain the target. In fact, three
countries (Brazil, Chile and Peru) have already done so."

The link above is the report from the UN in 2010. The country updates you see are from the country governments themselves. So the 2013 Ven report was done by the government of Venezuela, the same government that gives us the inflation rate, the exchange rate, and the homicide rate.
