The Independent Truckers Union at Bahia Blanca (ACFUA) called an indefinite strike from July 30 over a contractor dispute. All grain terminals there are blocked and cargo is not being received, though vessel operations were still running normally.
Blocked grain terminals at Bahia Blanca cut Argentine export loading capacity, which can tighten nearby soymeal and corn export supply and support Argentine-origin prices, especially if the strike drags on.
