# Truckers End Strike at San Antonio Port After Reaching Agreement with Government

> Independent truckers at Chile’s San Antonio port ended a strike that began on October 29 after agreeing with cargo-generating companies to an 8% transport-rate adjustment. The stoppage disrupted fruit export logistics, delayed Chile’s cherry export-season launch, and diverted the first Cherry Express vessel; operations are expected to normalize.

## Why it matters

Resumed trucking and port flows should ease delays for Chilean fruit exports during the seasonal peak. The agreed rate increase raises transport costs, but restoring logistics should reduce the risk of shipment backlogs and associated export losses.
