“All supplies come from Bolivia. Currently, many vehicles are stranded at the Desaguadero border, due to the roadblocks that do not allow the mobilization of these inputs or the food for the chickens; and consequently, neither can they supply the markets with chicken meat or eggs for the consumption of the citizens”, they explained.
