# Strike Hits Grain Exports at Argentine Port | Feed & Grain

> A 48-hour strike by tugboat captains and other port workers at Argentina's Port of Rosario backed up agricultural exports last week. A letter from the port chamber said the stoppage caused a total logistics breakdown, with congestion at anchorages and no room for new ships to load. Unions threatened another strike that week unless their vaccine-priority demands were met.

## Why it matters

Congestion at Rosario delays soymeal and corn shipments during peak harvest export season, which tightens nearby supply and supports Argentine-origin feed meal prices.
