摘要：

On April 28, mass protests erupted across Colombia in response to President Duque's tax reform bill. Despite the bill being withdrawn, the protests and unrest continue and are obstructing the movement of goods throughout Colombia, impeding bilateral agricultural trade, and impacting food prices in the country. The agricultural sector is sustaining major losses due to road blockades and unrest. The Colombian Ministry of Agriculture estimates economic losses of more than USD 700 million, due to road blockages and raw material shortages impacting the production and transport of food. Of the 32 Colombian departments, 29 have been impacted by the disruptions in the agricultural supply chain.
