In the Merida entity, the agricultural sector is not the only one affected. The union of transporters announced that it is evaluating going on strike in that region due to the dangerous road conditions to which they are subjected
In Mérida, the mayor of the Arzobispo Chacón municipality, Omar Fernández, reported that the road that connects that entity with the Sucre municipality is about to collapse. There, trucks with agricultural products, cattle and cheese transit daily, mainly from the southern towns.
“In the Los Giros sector, Estanque parish, we are in an emergency situation, notice how the road is, the road is completely fractured, there is no way to pass with cargo vehicles. “said the municipal authority to Union Radio.
But the agricultural sector is not the only one affected. The union of transporters announced that it is evaluating going on strike in that region due to the dangerous road conditions to which they are subjected. The president of the Canaua Transportation Line, Amado Bora, recalled that it is increasingly difficult to continue with their work because they also have to deal with fuel supply.
“Crops are failing, producers have great losses and we are about to paralyze the service, which we provide as a transport organization with more than 40 years.”
In 2021, when the diesel shortage in Venezuela was exacerbated, the operation of the different sectors of the national economy was put at risk, which from the beginning have warned not only about the stoppage of their activities, but also about the impact of this on the diet of Venezuelans.
At that time, the Confederation of Associations of Agricultural Producers of Venezuela reported losses of up to 20 tons of food due to the lack of fuel that affected its food distribution processes. The president of the organization, Aquiles Hopkin, referred to losses of 20,000 hectares of rice, 400,000 metric tons of sugar cane and 30% of the bean crops nationwide.
