Why is my yogurt so expensive?

In case you haven't heard, stuff is going a bit crazy here in Argentina! The farmers are striking because of a new government export tax, and have blocked the roads, which has led to food shortages (or super high prices) in grocery stores, a trucker's strike, super expensive/ non-existent gas, and a lot of worried and/or frustrated Argentines. Here's a few links about it!
