# Oilseed workers: key meeting Tuesday to try to avoid an indefinite strike during the harvest

> Mandatory conciliation in the wage talks between Argentina's oilseed workers' union (SOEA San Lorenzo), the Ftciodyara federation and agro-export companies expires Thursday and can be extended by only one more week. No progress was made in the latest virtual hearing, and a face-to-face meeting is set for Tuesday at the Labour Secretariat. Workers may strike during the peak harvest intake.

## Why it matters

A strike at crushing plants and port terminals during peak soybean arrivals would cut meal and oil output and export loadings, supporting soymeal and soyoil prices and disrupting near-term supply to feed buyers.
