# Argentine Grain Exports Hit by Trucker Strike | Feed & Grain

> Truckers blocked roads around ports in Buenos Aires province, disrupting Argentine grain exports. The protesters demanded lower taxes, tolls and fuel prices and set fee schedules for farmer transport. About 80% of Argentine farm exports ship from Rosario terminals, which the blockade threatened to reach.
