[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

On March 20, 2025, a peaceful protest occurred in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where families of traffic accident victims demonstrated against a court ruling. As a small-scale protest over a personal matter, direct impact on supply chains is limited.

Supply-chain impact

• While Cochabamba is a central transportation hub in Bolivia, the small-scale demonstration in front of the courthouse is not expected to cause substantial disruption to logistics transportation
• Impact on production and transportation routes for Bolivia's major exports including lithium, natural gas, and soybeans is minimal
• Currently in a peaceful protest state with no restrictions on access to ports, airports, or major road networks

Watch points

• Monitor whether the protest scale expands and the possibility of solidarity demonstrations occurring in other regions
• Confirm continued normalization of traffic flow and commercial activities in the Cochabamba region
