# Argentine oilseed workers ordered by government to end hours-long strike

> Argentina's government ordered oilseed workers from the SOEA union to end an hours-old strike over taxes withheld from their pay. The strike put export dollar inflows at risk during a period of political and financial uncertainty ahead of mid-term elections. Labor and management were sent back to negotiate.

## Why it matters

A stoppage at oilseed processing and export operations can slow crushing and shipments of meal and oil from Argentina, tightening near-term export availability. The short duration limits the impact, so the price effect is modest.
