Protests against property tax valuation hikes have blocked roads in Santander and Norte de Santander, stockpiling over 10 million eggs and 1,500 tons of chicken. The National Poultry Federation (Fenavi) reports canceled exports and risk to 57 million birds due to feed shortages. President Gustavo Petro urged mayors to lower property tax rates to end the blockades.
