Tridge summary

In February, Colombia experienced a decrease in the prices of several food items including potatoes, beef, pork, chicken, eggs, cheeses, and some vegetables, as reported by the Agricultural Planning Unit (UPRA). This decrease was attributed to falls in the prices of key products such as black potatoes, which had been experiencing increases. Meat products like beef, chicken breasts, legs, and pork loin also saw price drops. However, the flow of products from Nariño to other regions was significantly affected, causing price fluctuations. Despite this, the prices of certain fruits like mangoes, tangerines, granadilla, passion fruit, and guavas increased due to changing weather conditions and a landslide in Rosas, Cauca, which temporarily blocked the Pan-American highway. The authorization of alternative routes and the decision to source supplies from other regions helped mitigate the impact on food prices for February.
