Bakers of Bolivia are in an emergency due to the rise in the price of flour

Page Seven Digital In recent days, the price of a quintal of flour has increased from 165 to 210 bolivianos in the Bolivian market and the bakeries have declared a state of emergency. In this regard, the Food Production Support Company (Emapa) ensures that there is enough wheat to guarantee supply. The increase in the price of flour is one of the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which also affects other countries in the South American region such as Argentina, Chile and Peru, among others.
