Chilean trucker unions staged a national strike from November 10 over diesel prices, operating costs and stagnant freight rates, partially blocking highways and port access. A government agreement announced Thursday night ended the strike in most regions, including a diesel price cut of about CLP 150 per liter, but organized workers in the south continue blocking main roads.
Blocked highways and port access delay fruit shipments during peak export season, adding logistics costs and spoilage risk; the diesel cut eases trucking costs somewhat, but the continued southern blockades keep disruption risk alive for feed-related freight into Chile.
