Santa Cruz fuel crisis and mitigation efforts

Overview

The Santa Cruz department in Bolivia has faced a significant shortage of diesel and gasoline, threatening economic and productive activities. The Comité pro Santa Cruz organized assemblies to address the crisis, warning that the lack of diesel posed a “significant threat to agricultural activities” and the national food supply.

In response to the scarcity, Governor Juan Pablo Velasco launched an international importation strategy to stabilize the supply. The regional government intends to act as an intermediary between international providers and local distributors. To support the agricultural sector, a digital platform was introduced to allow producers to request diesel for direct transport to their production units, aiming to prevent disruptions to harvesting activities.
