# Port of Tarragona considers legal action against metal sector strike committee for blocking access

> The Tarragona Port Authority is studying legal action against the strike committee of the metal sector over a four-day blockade of port access from 9 to 12 November. The authority says the blockade stopped the entry and exit of goods and disrupted supply chains across its area of influence, which covers 22 provinces. It called the blockade unacceptable and said it had sought negotiations to keep essential services moving.

## Why it matters

Port disruptions in Spain delay the arrival of imported raw materials for feed and food manufacturers, but the impact on agricultural commodity prices is limited. The story has little direct effect on feed-ingredient supply or pricing.
