189 Roadblocks Cripple Bolivia's Food Supply in 2024

Roadblocks Cripple Bolivia's Economy: Perishable Goods Distribution Severely Affected Santa Cruz, Bolivia – The economic impact of widespread roadblocks in Bolivia during 2024 is severe, according to Enzo Landívar, president of the Santa Cruz Poultry Association (ADA). Landívar reported a staggering 189 roadblocks throughout the year, significantly disrupting the distribution of perishable goods. "In Bolivia, we counted 189 blockades in 2024, affecting the distribution of perishable products," Landívar stated. The blockades created a ripple effect, particularly impacting small-scale farmers and poultry producers. Many lack the resources to quickly transport their goods, leading to substantial losses. The situation is further complicated for larger industries, as their distribution networks also suffered significant disruptions. The video highlights the urgent need for solutions to prevent such widespread economic disruption in the future. The impact on food security and the livelihoods of many Bolivians is a serious concern.
