# Argentina maritime union ends strike at Rosario grains hub | Canadian HR Reporter

> An Argentine maritime workers union agreed to compulsory conciliation, ending a 72-hour strike that had halted shipments at three terminals in Rosario, the country's main grains port. The stoppage affected terminals operated by companies including ADM, Bunge and COFCO. A 15-day negotiation period over wages with the government now begins.

## Why it matters

Rosario handles about 80% of Argentina's agricultural exports, so even a brief halt delays soymeal and soyoil shipments and can tighten nearby spot supply. With the strike ended and talks under way, the price effect should be short-lived unless negotiations fail.
