Bolivian Blockades: Unexpected Drop in Meat Prices in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz, Bolivia (June 10, 2025) – Nationwide blockades across Bolivia have unexpectedly lowered the prices of chicken and pork in Santa Cruz. The disruption of transportation routes to other regions has led to a surplus of these products in the city's markets. "The price of chicken has been dropping daily," explains one vendor interviewed in the report. "It's because of the blockades; nothing is leaving Santa Cruz." The report shows chicken prices ranging from 17.50 to 18.50 Bolivianos per kilogram, significantly lower than in previous days. Pork prices have also decreased, with cuts like ribs selling for 36-38 Bolivianos and ground meat as low as 5 Bolivianos. While the blockades cause widespread disruption, this unexpected consequence offers some relief to consumers in Santa Cruz.
