Wheat imports into Brazil are expected to plummet by the end of December, according to partial data on imports released on December 29 by the Ministry of Economy, as a strike by port workers in Argentina affected the flow of the main supplier of the cereal to Brazilian mills.
By the fourth week of this month, imports of unground wheat and rye from Brazil had reached around 237,000 tons, compared to 650,000 tons for the same month last year, according to the ministry’s data.

A workers’ strike in the ports delayed the loading of various types of grain on more than 140 vessels in Argentina, one of the largest world suppliers of food, according to the chamber of agro-exporting companies CIARA-CEC.
