Tridge summary

The Colombian pork sector is facing significant losses due to the national strike, with 55% of pig production affected by roadblocks, vandalism, and looting, leading to a production stoppage of 720 tons of pork per day. This has resulted in losses of 100 billion pesos, stock surplus, marketing decline, and lower pig weight. The strike has also disrupted the balanced feed supply to 5,700 pig farms, putting 3.75 million pigs at risk of malnutrition and death. The situation is further aggravated by a 20% increase in consumer prices, with pork availability falling by 50% or more in some regions. The Colombian Association of Pork Producers is urging the government to find immediate solutions and is appealing to protesters to allow the passage of animals, balanced food, and pork.
