# AgriCensus Report

> Grain deliveries at Argentine ports are normalising as the number of municipalities restricting grain truck movement falls, and Up-River, Quequen and Bahia Blanca ports have restored flows. A grain receivers' union single-shift work rule is still causing loading delays, while maritime union disputes have been defused by government conciliation.

## Why it matters

Easing port bottlenecks supports faster export loadings, which limits upward price pressure from Argentine supply disruptions. Lingering union-driven delays keep some risk of shipment slippage.
