The Bolivian government will consider lifting the ban on beef exports

The measure, in place for almost two months, has been questioned by the livestock sector, which maintains that there is sufficient production to guarantee supply to the domestic market.

Flores explained that, at the last meeting between the government, livestock farmers, and the export sector, it was agreed to increase the supply of meat on the domestic market. "This is being fulfilled, which is why the price per kilo has been dropping", the official stated. He also noted that if the downward trend in prices continues, the restrictive measure will be re-evaluated.

The minister announced that a new meeting will be held next week to analyze the impact of the implemented measures. "If the evaluation is positive, the possibility of reopening meat exports will be considered. Foreign currency is important", he stated at a press conference.

He also highlighted the efforts made by the livestock sector to guarantee supply, but criticized the attitude of some marketers, whom he urged to "put on their shirt" for the country and allow the reduction in meat prices to benefit the final consumer.
