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.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.

Brazil deploys drones to scatter seeds on nearly inaccessible slopes and attempts to transform degraded hills into forests with aerial planting up to 100 times faster, in a green offensive launched in Rio de Janeiro.

Instead of plastering the wall, Argentine architects left ordinary bricks exposed, without traditional mortar, without finishes, without paint, and created a perforated pavilion that looks like an art installation.
