Harina P.A.N. is an iconic brand of pre-cooked corn flour that revolutionized the preparation of traditional arepas. Originally created in 1960 by Empresas Polar in Venezuela, the name stands for 'Producto Alimenticio Nacional'.

Due to the political and economic situation in Venezuela, the company expanded its production footprint. Today, the product is manufactured in the United States, Colombia, and Italy to supply global markets. The brand remains under the ownership of Alimentos Polar, a branch of the Venezuelan conglomerate Empresas Polar, which has maintained its status as a private family-owned business for decades and continues to lead the market into 2026.
