Something truly impressive about Bolivia is how much of the food sold here is made here. And we´re not just talking in South America (although a lot of products do come from neighbouring Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina) but so much of what we´ve been buying is actually made in the city itself.
Here are some examples: breads, cookies, dried soy protein, Fanta (yup, Coke has a bottling plant in the city), peanut butter, chips and a plethura of fresh fruit that are apparently soon to be abundant...and more!
This is definitely not something we´re used to in Calgary where buying from Sunnyside or farmer´s markets is as close to locally grown commercial goods as it gets and even then the products made in Calgary are not usually readily available in mainstream grocery stores.
