The price of the egg is through the roof. The kilo of the poultry product doubled its usual cost in the city of Arequipa, currently it has a value of S/9 to S/10.
Six months ago, on the trading platform Andres Avelino Caceres the java eggs were at S/12 and now they sell it at S/16. Likewise, the kilo doubled its value, since, previous months, it was between S/4.50 to S/5 soles.
The price of food would have increased because the border with bolivian It is closed due to the demonstrations in Puno calling for the resignation of Dina Boluarte. This does not allow the entry of trucks that transport the corn that the birds consume.
Chicken is another food that has increased in price. Now it ranges between S/9 and S/11 in one of the cheapest supply centers in the city.
Celestina, a merchant from the Avelino Cáceres market, said that the price increase harms them because people no longer want to consume this type of product or simply buy what is necessary due to the crisis. As you remember, the president of the platform gave options to consume other types of products such as fish, which are in season and, therefore, are cheaper.
“In some places they sell a little more expensive, in others, cheaper. I don’t know why, but you have to look for it,” says a housewife who alludes to trading in different stalls while going to the market.
