The situation in Colombia is volatile and protests against government-driven tax reforms continue.
According to a report by Reuters on May 6, 2021, the head of the Colombian National Federation of Coffee growers confirmed that the anti-government protest in Colombia has lasted for eight days until May 5. Road congestion caused by roadblocks set up by demonstrators across the country continues, disrupting the transportation of coffee, the largest agricultural product exported.
The protest has killed at least 24 people after more than a week. It was originally intended to oppose tax reforms proposed by Colombian President Ivan Duque to stabilize the country's finances. After Ivan Duque withdrew the proposal, the demonstrators expanded their demand: they called on the government to take action to address poverty, police violence and inequalities in the health and education systems.
The disruption of logistics in Colombia was caused in part by spontaneous strikes by domestic truck drivers in support of the protests, and partly by demonstrators setting up barricades across the country to disrupt road transport. This situation has become more and more intense throughout Colombia.
One of the main congestion points is in Buenaventura, Colombia, which is near the Pacific Ocean and has Colombia's largest port, where goods are not allowed to enter or leave.
One of the synonyms for Colombia is Colombian Coffee, the third largest coffee producer in the world, with more than 500,000 coffee growers. As the protests spread across Colombia, many commercial activities were forced to stagnate, and the Colombian coffee industry was also affected.
"our work has been completely stopped, exports have been stalled, all shipments have been interrupted, and goods cannot reach the port or other parts of the country," Roberto Velez, head of the Colombian National Federation of Coffee growers, said in a telephone interview. We can't give the number of coffee that can't be exported. The export was cut off four or five days ago. " "the disruption has a great impact on the ongoing coffee harvest season in Huilan, Cauca Valley, Cauca and Nalinglong," he said. "
The warehouse space is not yet full, but it will be full if the protests continue, added Roberto Velez.
Roberto Velez (Roberto Velez) hopes that demonstrators and the government will try to resolve their differences without disrupting the country's economy.
Reuters also pointed out that coffee growers who enjoy the high price of $1.48 per pound in the New York market have not yet participated in the protest. However, in view of the current changeable and developing situation, there is no time point for the end of the protest, and a national strike is imminent.
