Fruit exports from the Argentinian Rio Negro area have been paralyzed since May 4th as a result of a labor union conflict. This affects fruit export to markets in the USA, Brazil, and China, as well as other countries. Private sector reports estimate that a reduced production volume has already cost foreign trade 10 million USD.
Fruit production areas in the Rio Negro river valley and Neuquen are affected by this union conflict. Almost 50% of their production volume is destined for export. Their main markets are Brazil, the USA, India, and China.
