# Rosario port workers' strike paralyzes grain shipments

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
