The grain receivers' union URGARA started a strike at private grain ports, then the Labour Secretariat ordered compulsory conciliation for 15 business days, which suspended the action. The employers offered a 16% wage increase, which the union rejected, and talks continue.
The conciliation pause lowers the immediate risk of a halt at Argentine export terminals, so price effects are limited for now. A renewed strike after the 15-day period would tighten grain and meal exports.
