# Romanian union says strike averted at ADM Constanta grain silos | Financial Post

> Romanian union said an indefinite strike at ADM's North Star Shipping grain silos in Constanta, scheduled for July 15, was averted after a wage deal with a 12% average pay rise. The port handles barley, rapeseed, wheat, sunflower seed and maize, and ADM recently sold 120,000 tonnes of Romanian wheat to Egypt.

## Why it matters

A strike at Constanta could have disrupted Black Sea grain flows to Egypt, the largest wheat importer, so averting it removes a modest logistics risk to wheat and feed grain supplies.
