Trucks Drivers' Nation Wide strike * July 20th - UPDATE
Date: 20/07/2016
Today is the third strike day.
Situation remains the same: trucks drivers maintain their claims and Terminals are not receiving cargo.
Industry sources said the strike would have to last for days for exports to be interrupted.. They said exporters had enough stockpiles to keep international grains shipments moving on Monday as negotiations over hauling rates continued.
Soybean stockpiles are bigger than corn reserves at the moment, as virtually all of Argentina's 2015/16 soy crop has been harvested. An extended strike could slow corn harvesting due to limited on-farm corn storage capacity.
If the strike remains unchanged, heavy delays will be expected since stockpiles are being depleted.
We'll keep you closely posted and updated.
