The Egg Cartel, the organization that is terrorizing merchants in Tulua

“This is a very sensitive issue. Unfortunately, it has not been made visible, nor do the authorities give it the importance it is or perhaps hide reality, there are many people affected by these criminal gangs”, are the strong words of a citizen of Tulua said to Blu Radio, referring to the complex situation that the municipality of Valle del Cauca is facing.

And it is that allegedly in Tulua, a gang responsible for the distribution and implementation of the price of eggs, would be extorting and terrorizing traders of this product in the municipality of Vallecaucano.

They allegedly alerted the alleged intimidation being received by poultry traders. It is precisely Saul Rojas, who owned 'Gallina Campesina Saulito', is one of the alleged fatalities left by the 'egg cartel'.

Rojas was killed over the weekend in the El Refugio neighborhood by armed men. Apparently Rojas was a victim of extortion, authorities say that they are continuing to investigate the motives for his murder.

But this fact is not isolated, since in the municipality of Vallecaucano, posters of (potato, cilantro) and other foods that were controlled by price and distribution had previously been present.

On this situation, the representative of Tuluá Martín Hincapié said: “An egg was obtained for $300, now this one is $550 or $600, poultry companies sell them by hours to certain distributors and because they depend on these poultry companies and there is no permanent flow or ease for you to buy an egg in the store”.

While the Secretary of Government, Coexistence and Citizen Security, Jorge Alexander Gallego Chávez, mentioned the presence of these illegal structures in Tuluá: “We have been constantly working to guarantee the supply of agricultural products in the city, by the National Police, support is being provided to poultry and egg sales points, also, in a work articulated between Gaula Militar and Gaula de la Policía, work is being done on several lines of research that cannot yet be revealed, and finally it is essential to invite traders and citizens in general to continue to report facts that affect coexistence and citizen security”.
