Last year, Bolivia had to import food. Normally, it is self sufficient...and even exports food stuffs.
La Nina's freakish weather was one reason. But farmers also blame President Evo Morales' policies...price controls and export limits...instead of a free market setting prices and demand.
Now, Evo is starting to listen to the farmers...even cultivating their council.
"Advise me, help me. Let's work together to guarantee food production," he said last month."If we've had ...ideological differences, that's in the past. Now the situation is different."
