Bolivian economic and agricultural instability

Overview

Agricultural production in Cochabamba reportedly declined by nearly 30 percent due to social unrest and threats of road blockades by ‘evista’ sectors. The Agricultural Chamber of Cochabamba warned that these disruptions threatened food security, rural employment, and export activities.

By the end of June, the national economy experienced a significant contraction of 3.27 percent. This downturn was attributed to 53 days of road blockades between May and June, which hindered raw material supplies and exports, alongside shortages of gasoline and diesel. The construction sector saw a decline of 29.21 percent, while transport, communications, manufacturing, and commerce also reported substantial decreases.
