# The national strike by oilseed workers is now a state problem, with more than 10,000 trucks stranded at main export ports

> Argentina's oilseed workers' union has been on national strike for 48 hours over wage updates, leaving more than 10,000 trucks stranded at the main export ports and about 20 vessels waiting for cargo. The Argentine oilseed chamber and grain exporters criticised the lack of dialogue, and the stoppage is costing over US$1 million per day.

## Why it matters

A strike at crushing plants and export terminals cuts soymeal and soyoil shipments from a major origin, which can lift world meal and oil prices and keep buyers waiting for delivered supply.
