Grain receiving workers' union Urgara began a 24-hour strike on Monday that halted operations at the Rosario ports, with a wider strike scheduled for Wednesday at Buenos Aires, Dock Sud, Zárate and Campana. The action supports a broader protest by the Argentine port federation FeMPINRA against a decree creating a single terminal at Buenos Aires and against income tax on wages, and the federation warned of further stoppages through the week.
Stoppages at Argentina's main soybean export ports delay loading of soymeal, soyoil and grain, which can tighten nearby export supply and firm Argentine basis and crush-related prices while ships wait.
