Argentina grains ports hit by strikes for second day, industry officials say

Argentine grains ports were being impacted by strike action against government reforms for a second day on Tuesday, industry officials told Reuters, hitting shipments of soy, corn and wheat from one of the world's top grains exporting countries. Gustavo Idígoras, head of the CIARA-CEC chamber of grain exporters and processors, told Reuters that "there are no operations in the ports". Argentina's oilseed and maritime worker unions kicked off a strike on Monday to protest a labor reform bill backed by radical libertarian President Javier Milei, which lower house lawmakers approved on Tuesday.
