Argentina's central bank suspended soy crusher Vicentin from exchange markets and foreign payments until it settles debts, and barred customs from processing its new shipments. The company, once the main soyoil and meal exporter, owes more than $1 billion in bad debts and faces bankruptcy proceedings.
Vicentin's export halt removes a major share of Argentine soyoil and meal shipments, tightening near-term supply. Buyers may see wider spreads and logistics delays out of Argentine ports.
