# Argentina truckers end protest at Quequen grain port | Reuters

> Argentine truckers ended a protest that had paralyzed the Quequen grain port after reaching an agreement with farmers for a 16% freight rate increase. The port handles about 20% of Argentina's soybean exports. The blockade had blocked access roads to the hub.
