Onion Prices Soar in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Amidst Fuel Crisis

Santa Cruz, Bolivia Faces Vegetable Price Crisis Markets in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, are experiencing a significant surge in vegetable prices, impacting household budgets across the region. The price of onions, a staple in Bolivian cuisine, has reached a staggering 90 Bolivianos (Bs) per arroba (approximately 11 kg), according to a recent report by NotivisiónSCZ on Red Uno. This price increase is causing considerable hardship for many families, as reported by several shoppers interviewed in the market. "It's very expensive," said one woman, "I can only buy enough for today's meal." Vendors attribute the price hike to ongoing fuel shortages and transportation blockades, which have disrupted the supply chain. The situation underscores the economic challenges faced by ordinary Bolivians and highlights the ripple effects of fuel scarcity on daily life.
