Good news. We went to the Wholesale Market to verify how the prices of basic basket products are in the midst of the crisis, and the constant blockade of the Central Highway. During yesterday morning it was reported that chicken is sold between S/ 9.00 and S/ 9.50 per kilo, some S/ 5 less than previous days, when a price of up to S/ 14.00 per kilo was registered.

“For two days in a row, the merchandise is arriving and that is why we are selling at S/9 a kilo, we hope it continues like this, and they do not continue to block the Central Highway, which not only harms us, but also buyers,” they indicated.
Inside the Wholesale Market, various stalls offer everything. Regarding potatoes, you can find floury black potatoes for S/4 per kilo, Peruvian yellow potatoes for S/4.50, camotillo for S/4.50, perricholi 5 kilos for S/11, mariva 5 kilos for S/12, and yungay 5 kilos for S/12. That is the price of the potato that has been maintained since December 2022, of course, unlike the days that are affected when there are blockades, either with the supply or shortage, their price has varied in Huancayo.
