Fuel Shortages Spark Protests in Bolivia's Norte Crucero Region Farmers in Bolivia's Norte Crucero region are planning protests due to severe fuel shortages. The lack of diesel is preventing them from transporting their crops, causing significant economic hardship and threatening food security. The government maintains that fuel supplies are adequate, but farmers dispute this claim. "We are deeply worried and frustrated," said Eliezer Arellano, a soy producer. "The government says everything is fine, but it's not. There is no fuel, no food, nothing." The shortage is impacting the harvest, with farmers reporting that they cannot transport their products to market. The protests are expected to begin on Monday. The situation highlights the vulnerability of Bolivia's agricultural sector to fuel price volatility and supply disruptions. The farmers' concerns underscore the need for effective government intervention to address the crisis and ensure a stable supply of fuel to the agricultural sector. The protests could potentially disrupt food supplies across the region, demanding immediate attention.
