The food supply was restored in the city of Arequipa after a week of overcoming the blockades on the Panamericana Sur highway, which prevented the arrival of various products from the north and center of the country. Dozens of residents had taken the measure demanding the resignation of Dina Boluarte, the closure of Congress and new elections.
In the market Dovecotethe merchants reported that the supply of fruit has been regularized. It is worth remembering that about 80% of these, which are consumed in Arequipa, come from northern Peru.
Even the sellers are already preparing for the campaign of New Year, in which people consume, for the most part, grapes. As a reference, the kilo of this seedless fruit is valued at 10 soles, although it could become more expensive in the coming days.
Other referential prices are the kilo of tangerine Y apple to 5 soles. While the lemon is quoted at 6 soles (in days of unemployment it was worth up to 10 soles).
Although there is now a supply, the merchants are afraid of possible blockades, in case the protests against President Dina Boluarte resume. These movements were announced by different popular fronts for January 4.
