La Paz Blockade Ends: Chicken Finally Reaches City Markets

La Paz Blockade: Chicken Finally Reaches Garita de Lima After Three Days La Paz, Bolivia – After three days of road blockades, chicken finally reached markets in the Garita de Lima area of La Paz on June 10, 2025. The blockades, part of ongoing socio-political protests, severely disrupted the supply chain, leaving residents without access to essential goods. The video from Bolivia TV shows long lines of people waiting patiently outside stores. One transporter, interviewed in the video, described the challenges: "We had to take detours, spending up to three days traveling and finding alternate routes to avoid the blockades." The price of chicken, at 24 Bolivianos per kilo, remained unaffected by the supply disruption. The video also captures the emotional relief of residents finally able to purchase chicken, highlighting the impact of the blockades on daily life. While the situation in Garita de Lima has improved, many other areas of the city still face shortages due to the ongoing blockades. The incident underscores the vulnerability of supply chains to political unrest and the resilience of communities facing adversity.
