Argentine Farmers Strike in Third Week
03.31.08
No settlement has been reached in the third week of a farmers’ strike in Argentina, despite moves by both sides.
Late last week, farmers lifted road blocks that had caused traffic jams and depleted grocery shelves across the country.
The government is reportedly preparing proposals for small farmers that include subsidies for soy and sunflowers, increased beef export permits, and incentives to boost dairy production. Some view this as an attempt by the government to lure small farmers from their support of the strike.
