Two Argentine agro-export unions, the FTCIODyARA oilseed workers and URGARA grain inspectors, announced an indefinite national strike starting Tuesday, December 1. The unions accuse employers' chambers of refusing to negotiate over wages amid high inflation.
Argentina is the main global exporter of soybean oil and meal.
An indefinite strike at the main soymeal and soyoil export hub would disrupt shipments and likely lift international soymeal and oil prices.
