In brief: Bolivia’s soy exports post strong growth
* Bolivia’s President Luis Arce has announced that in the first ten months of 2022 soy exports totalled US$2.01bn, which he said was their highest figure in ten years and represented a 74.2% increase on the same period in 2021. In an allusion to the widespread anti-government protests that gripped the eastern department of Santa Cruz – Bolivia’s main agricultural hub – for 36 days in October and November, Arce said that the strong export figures came “despite the attempts at internal destabilisation and an unprecedented international crisis.” The Santa Cruz unrest briefly led the government to impose export restrictions on soy and other agricultural goods, which opposition leaders claimed was an attempt to punish the department for the protests.
