Independent truckers under the TUDA group launched an indefinite strike that has halted grain lorry arrivals at the Bahia Blanca and Necochea ports on Argentina's Atlantic coast. Grain lorry arrivals nationally fell to 1,322 on Friday from 6,442 a week earlier, and grain loadings at Rosario ports were also affected.
Disrupted truck deliveries cut Argentine soy, meal and corn export loadings, tightening nearby supply and supporting global soymeal and corn prices while buyers scramble for alternative origins.
