Bolivia: 12 Tons of Beef Airlifted to La Paz Amidst Road Blockades La Paz, Bolivia – In response to ongoing road blockades affecting transportation throughout the country, 12 tons of beef were recently airlifted from Santa Cruz to La Paz. This emergency measure, a collaboration between FEGASACRUZ (the Santa Cruz livestock association) and the Bolivian government, aims to prevent food shortages in La Paz. The move underscores the significant disruption caused by the blockades, which have impacted the delivery of essential goods. Javier Landívar, director of FEGASACRUZ, stated, "We haven't forgotten about the domestic market. Our commitment is to internal consumption, and we're working to ensure that meat reaches all corners of the country." He also acknowledged that the air transport will result in a price increase for consumers due to the added logistical costs. The video footage shows the loading of the meat onto a Hercules aircraft, illustrating the scale of the operation. While the immediate focus is on supplying La Paz, FEGASACRUZ hopes to expand air transport to other cities in Bolivia as resources become available. The successful airlift offers a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges posed by the ongoing blockades.
