In Cotopaxi, provincial authorities are implementing various economic and regulatory measures. The provincial government has launched a permanent fair to support local entrepreneurs and producers, providing designated spaces for the direct sale of primary goods and value-added products to boost the local economy.

Simultaneously, authorities have intensified inspections to prevent price speculation and ensure commercial compliance. These operations target large distributors, poultry farms, and small shops to monitor the price of eggs and the domestic gas market. Additionally, officials are conducting rigorous checks on business permits, with the potential for closure of establishments operating without valid documentation. In the La Maná canton, control operations are being maintained in coordination with the Armed Forces and National Police due to a state of exception.
