The oilseed workers' union SOEA began a 24-hour strike that affects oilseed plants across Argentina. Union leader Daniel Succi says the wage offer of 12% falls short of the 25% demand and of inflation.
The union will decide on further action depending on the employers' and government's response.
Nationwide plant stoppages reduce Argentine soybean meal and oil output and exports, supporting meal and oil prices. The risk grows if the strike is extended beyond 24 hours.
