Independent truckers at Chile’s San Antonio port ended a nine-day blockade on November 6 after agreeing to an 8% freight-rate increase, financing for small carriers, and direct contracting rights. The blockade disrupted container depot operations and led to at least two Cherry Express vessels being rerouted to Valparaíso; exporters are now working to clear backlogs before key shipping windows close.
The strike’s end restores port access, but remaining congestion risks delaying and raising the cost of Chilean cherry shipments. The disruption is primarily relevant to fruit exports, with no direct feed-commodity price effect indicated.
