Bolivia is a landlocked South American country with significant natural gas reserves, making hydrocarbons its primary export earner alongside zinc, silver, gold, and quinoa. The country does not have a free trade agreement with the United States, and Bolivia benefits from the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) on a limited basis. Its landlocked status means all trade moves through neighboring countries' ports, primarily in Chile and Peru.
