Truckers’ strike loses momentum in Argentina, but the port of Quequén remains paralyzed.

The truckers' strike in Buenos Aires province, Argentina, began to lose momentum on Monday (20), with a gradual resumption of logistics operations in much of the region. However, the Port of Quequén remains the main critical point of the movement. According to the port authority, the terminal has been inoperative for more than a week, with access still blocked. According to the Argentine Chamber of the Petroleum Industry and the Center of Cereal Exporters (CIARA-CEC), road and access blockades have been practically eliminated in the rest of the province. As a result, truck traffic has been normalized and has allowed the resumption of activities in strategic ports. Even with the retreat of the strike in other regions, the sector warns that the complete normalization of logistics operations should take three to four days, due to the accumulated impacts of the stoppage.
