The price of chicken in the main supply centers of Tacna rose today to 12 soles per kilo due to its scarcity due to roadblocks and demand in other regions.

This was verified by housewives when they went to the Grau wholesale market, which is open until 5:00 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., the bird’s meat could no longer be found in any of the more than 40 stalls of the first emporium in Tacna.
Lack in markets
Traders pointed out that the chicken “flew” in the early hours despite the fact that it had increased. In the Santa Rosa, Ciudad Nueva, Primero de Mayo and Producers markets, shortages were also noted.

Entrepreneurs in the sector explained that due to the protests, little product is entering, since it is first distributed to large cities such as Arequipa where demand is also high.
They demand beef
While the chicken ran out, the beef increased to 16 soles per kilo. A new shipment of chicken is expected to arrive this Tuesday, but everything indicates that it would run out early.
