The national seed industry has reached a milestone where it now produces over 90 percent of domestic demand, with Bolivian genetics being exported to more than 18 countries across the Andean region, Africa, and Asia. In the mining sector, the department of Potosi has become the nation’s leading exporter. Between January and September 2026, Potosi’s exports reached 4.011 billion dollars, a 65.5 percent increase compared to the same period in 2025. This regional growth is driven primarily by silver, zinc, and lead, which account for 82 percent of the total exported value from the department. Overall, Bolivia is on track to match its 2022 historical export record of 14 billion dollars. As of September 2026, total exports exceeded 10 billion dollars, representing a 54 percent increase in income value and a 9 percent increase in physical volume. This economic performance has persisted despite 53 days of road blockades and social unrest earlier in the year. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-09: San Luis Potosí reports 12.3% economic growth and high investment San Luis Potosí reports 12.3 percent economic growth, surpassing the national average, with 9.5 billion dollars in private investment and a goal of 10 billion dollars in foreign investment by November. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/san-luis-potos-reports-123-economic-growth-and-high-investment ### 2026-11-02: Bolivia reports growth in seed production and Potosi exports Bolivia's seed production now covers 90% of domestic demand, while Potosi has become the nation's top exporter, driven by a 65.5% increase in mining exports. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bolivia-reports-growth-in-seed-production-and-potosi-exports --- Cite as: Bolivian economic and export growth.
