Peru: Potato troubles
Protests and clashes spread out across parts of central Peru in early February, as farmers reacted to a fall in potato prices. As a result of demonstrations, roadblocks and ensuing clashes between farmers, police, and truck drivers, two people were killed. By 5 February potato growers from Junín, Pasco, Huancavelica, Ayacucho, and Apurimac had ended their strike following the announcement of government concessions. But farmers from Huánuco were still holding out, saying that they were not party to the deal.
