# Livestock sector warns of feed supply problems due to a strike at the Port of Tarragona

> A metalworkers’ strike blocked access to the Port of Tarragona, cutting vehicle traffic by 87.24% by midday and preventing dozens of trucks from leaving. Feed manufacturers in Catalonia and Aragon called for immediate action, warning that farms cannot interrupt animal feeding; a general strike was also scheduled for later in the week.
