Price development: After the unexpected drop in the quinoa price last week (24.5.2014), the price has “recovered” again. Farmers were paid 1,650 Bolivianos for their quintals which translates into $5.30/kg. That is not the peak price of $5,80, which was reached on the 17th of May. The price for red quinoa stays stable at $4,82 as well as black quinoa which costs $4,02.
