Workers’ Strike in Argentina Leaves More Than 100 Ships Stuck with Agricultural Products and Meats

More than 100 cargo ships were prevented from loading agricultural products in Argentina on Monday, as a wage strike by grain inspectors and oilseed workers entered its second week, paralyzing exports from one of the world’s major breadbaskets.

Largest Agricultural Exporter Prevented from Moving Its Ships

Argentina is the largest exporter of agricultural products in ships for soy-based feed for fattening pigs and poultry, from Europe to Southeast Asia.

Contract negotiations between workers and export companies have stalled over compensation packages, with both sides accusing each other of intransigence and preventing any of the ships from departing.

No Meat or Agricultural Products to Brazil Due to Strike in Argentina

With soymeal and oil factories paralyzed by the strike, no trucks carrying soybeans entered the Rosario terminals on Monday, compared to 1,088 loads discharged on December 21, 2019, according to data from the Rosario Grains Exchange. There were also no trucks unloading soybeans in Rosario last week.

“There is a large participation of our members in the strike, and every time the companies speak out, it generates more anger and much more support from the public,” said Urgara spokesperson Juan Carlos Peralta.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

At the most remote point on the planet, thousands of kilometers away from any inhabited land, there is a cemetery of spacecraft where space structures are sent at the end of their mission.

Driven by the BBB showcase, the Chinese Hatch surges in retail, surpasses the Corolla Cross, and begins to threaten Hyundai and BYD in one of the month’s most unexpected turns.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.
