Fuel prices in Lima: The rise in oil prices is driving up fuel prices in Lima and threatens to take the price per gallon to 30 soles.

A shortage of hydrobiological products at the Central Market of Callao has resulted in empty display trays and a sharp price increase for frequently consumed fish species. Specifically, bonito and jack mackerel have risen by up to eight soles per kilogram.

Merchants at the primary fishing sales point in the area attributed these elevated costs and reduced availability to a lower volume of fish arriving at the market. The situation directly impacts the supply and affordability of key seafood staples for local consumers in the region.
