Protests in Peru began to affect supplies Large Wholesale Market of Limaas confirmed by Jaime Gallegos Rondon, CEO of the Municipal Market Company (EMMSA).

“We are seeing a decline in income products to Large Wholesale Market of Lima between 15 and 20%, and it is obvious that this is due to the protests that are taking place at this time,” he said.

According to Gallegos, vegetables are the type of food that comes in the least; however, there is a suggestion consumer products such as potatoes, onions and lemons.

“The situation may worsen, but we are counting on a reserve of six to seven days; In addition, every day there is income. With the receipt of 4,000 tons, this market is ensured,” he specified.

This should not affect product prices.

For the EMSA representative, although there is less food coming in, this is no reason to raise prices, as supplies are secured; however, it was retailers who achieved the increase.

“Prices remain in GMML, retailers take advantage of this. We are going through very difficult times and believe that now is not the time for price increases, through speculation, we are asking the intermediaries about it,” he said.
