# Port of Arica normalizes reception of Bolivian trucks after end of blockades by Chilean transporters

> The Port of Arica in Chile resumed normal reception of Bolivian trucks after agreements between Chilean land transport unions and the government ended a strike and route blockades that began on November 10. Port operations stayed active, but blockades had stopped cargo vehicles reaching the terminal. Port and Bolivian authorities are coordinating an orderly return of cargo traffic.

## Why it matters

Restored truck access at Arica eases the bottleneck for Bolivian trade flows, which is minor for global feed grain prices but relevant to regional freight costs.
