Argentine Farmers Strike Suspended
04.02.08
According to local reports, Argentine farmers will suspend their strike today for 20 to 30 days.
This unilateral move is being taken as the government’s unwillingness to negotiate threatens the harvest.
A large public gathering at Plaza de Mayo yesterday in support of the government put pressure on farmers to make a move. This is viewed as a win for the government, but also signaled there are limits to what the government can impose policy.
Farmers say they expect to re-engage in negotiation with the government during April, but there are no signs from the government, which has now suspended beef exports.
