Merca Panama will work 24 hours a day until this Saturday, July 23, with the aim of supplying businesses and the general public. This, after the shortage of supplies that was experienced in the city due to the blockades on the Inter-American highway, specifically in the provinces of Chiriquí and Veraguas.
The administrator of Merca Panama, Kevin Vigil, explained that this schedule began to govern from this Thursday, and its purpose is that the population can stock up on products that were not for sale for the reasons previously described.
The schedule for this Sunday, July 24, is subject to an analysis of the behavior of the closures of the Inter-American highway, at points in the east of Chirica and in the district of Santiago, Veraguas.
Vigil indicated that to date some 150 vehicles have managed to enter the facilities and in the convoy on Thursday night, July 21, 55 vehicles from Tierras Altas and Río Sereno entered the distribution center.
Regarding the loss of products, he mentioned that on this occasion the producers prepared themselves better and transported the legumes and vegetables in trucks with refrigeration systems. In addition, they were not held for long in the roadblocks.
