Producers from the district of Tierras Altas, Chiriquí, unable to deliver their products to other provinces donated Saturday hundreds of pounds of vegetables in the city of David and Buguba,

Faced with the closures at different points of the Inter-American highway, the producers of the region cannot transport the food and to prevent it from being lost, they decided to donate it to a province where food is also scarce due to the demonstrations.

The announcement of the distribution of vegetables brought hundreds of people to the Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra park in David to receive the products.

The organizers of the delivery highlighted that they are products in perfect condition and fresh, that due to the closure of the Inter-American highway, the sales markets outside of Chiriquí have not been taken, as well as those of the central provinces and especially those of the capital. Additional distribution was planned for Sunday, it will take place in Tierras Altas.

The mayor of Tierras Altas, Javier Pitty, and the producers of the region ask the representatives of the Government and the leadership of the organized groups, who are protesting in the streets, to negotiate with unity and humility to overcome the situation in the country.
