Fuel Crisis Averted: YPFB and Producers Reach Agreement

YPFB and Bolivian Producers Reach Agreement on Fuel Supply Santa Cruz, Bolivia – June 9, 2025 – A critical meeting between representatives of the state-owned oil company YPFB and Bolivian agricultural producers has resulted in a resolution to the ongoing fuel shortages affecting the country's agricultural sector. The agreement, reached after several days of protests, ensures a steady supply of fuel to producers in the coming weeks. According to a producer interviewed by Red Uno, the agreement includes a commitment from YPFB to provide fuel three times a week to producers using a card system. "We now have cards," stated the producer, "and our task is to monitor that YPFB fulfills its commitment on the agreed volumes." This system aims to prevent fuel speculation and ensure fair distribution. The successful resolution of this issue is a significant step towards stabilizing the agricultural sector and averting potential food shortages. The agreement demonstrates the government's commitment to addressing the concerns of its citizens and finding solutions to critical economic challenges.
