Rodrigo Paz proposes agromining model to Bolivia's indigenous ayllus
President Rodrigo Paz has proposed an 'agromining' economic model to indigenous ayllus in the regions of Potosí and Oruro. This initiative aims to provide a new revenue stream to offset declining national income caused by falling gas production.
During a meeting with the Council for the Development of the Ayllus in Peace (CDAP), Paz emphasized that these mining projects must utilize modern technology to increase productivity and improve worker health, moving away from traditional manual methods. He noted that foreign investors have expressed interest in participating in these projects through partnership models.
A new Mining Law is expected to facilitate these investments. Paz stressed that the economic benefits generated from these activities should remain within the local municipalities and regions to support long-term community development. He also underscored the necessity of implementing these projects with strict environmental safeguards to ensure sustainable growth.
