# Strike halts grain ship traffic at Argentina's Rosario ports

> Grain and agro-industrial ships cannot dock or leave Argentina's Rosario hub during a 24-hour CGT union strike starting Thursday April 10. Ships already moored may load but cannot sail, according to the head of the private port chamber CAPyM.

## Why it matters

Rosario handles much of Argentina's soymeal, soyoil and corn exports, so the stoppage delays shipments and tightens near-term meal and oil supply, supporting prices for those products.
