Discontent in Ica. Agricultural workers blocked the Pan-American Highway South for several days. They were rightfully demanding the approval of the new agricultural promotion law by the Congress of the Republic. Wages and labor abuses were among their grievances against state institutions. “We receive a salary of 39 soles for 12 hours of work per day; sometimes, we only get 20 or 15 soles. Some of us are parents, and that wage isn't enough,” said one of the farmworkers. In the following days of conflict, several people were injured on both sides: police and protesters. Interprovincial transportation to several southern regions of the country was also paralyzed. Many passengers were stranded in the middle of nowhere due to the standoff. A dialogue table was established, leading to a temporary agreement that did not harm anyone on either side. Agricultural export workers are the main source of income for society; their struggle continues and their battle to change the history of agriculture is constant.
