Argentina Port Strike Halts Grain Exports

Maritime workers have halted vessel traffic as they protest changes to river navigation rules.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — Markets are watching a strike at Argentina’s grain ports as maritime workers halt ships from entering or leaving the country’s export terminals.

The walkout has paralyzed exports from one of the world’s leading grain suppliers.

The strike follows a government decree changing river navigation rules. Union officials say the changes could threaten jobs and plan to challenge the order in court.
