Date: 18th April 2023

Grain inspectors in Argentina held a 24-hour strike on Monday to protest high taxes that are cutting into their wages.

According to the head of the country’s Chamber of Port and Maritime Activities (CAPyM), the job action by the Urgara union “is affecting absolutely all the ports” in Rosario, a hub for agricultural transportation, 300 km northwest of Buenos Aires, on the Paraná River.

According to Reuters, annual inflation in Argentina is currently over 104%.

The Argentine Maritime, Port and Shipbuilding Federation, another union involved in the strike action, said in a statement that “more stoppages will take place throughout the week.” Strikes have been called for Wednesday at the Buenos Aires and Dock Sud ports and Friday at the Rio Santiago shipyard.

My suppliers have less or zero experience with international logistics. Thus, not able to create proper documentation which leads to tremendous delay.
