Bolivian Roadblocks Cause Chicken Prices to Plummet in Santa Cruz

Roadblocks in Cochabamba and other areas of Bolivia have caused a ripple effect, impacting the price of chicken in Santa Cruz. Red Uno's report shows chicken prices falling from Bs 23 to Bs 22, with an anticipated drop to Bs 20. "The pollo is Bs 22 today, but tomorrow it will be Bs 20," stated a vendor in the Mutualista Market. The reduced supply due to blockades has led to lower prices, although vendors have also reported decreased sales. The situation highlights the complex interplay between political unrest and economic realities for Bolivians.
