Answer:

As in Ecuador and Peru, most of Bolivia’s Indians are subsistence farmers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bolivian population is predominantly mestizo, with 70% of its population belonging to this ethnic group. There are different minorities, the indigenous being the first minority in the country, with 20% of the population.

Historically, the indigenous population (mainly composed of Quechua and Aymara, descendants of the Inca) has been the most economically delayed within the country. Its main economic factor has been and continues to be subsistence agriculture, and low-scale marketing of products that are produced within its internal markets.

This generates a delay of this population group with respect to the bulk of the Bolivian population, and especially with respect to the white population, which is the main owner of the country's means of economic production.
