Argentine rural confederation CRA to begin commercial strike over export tax hike

Argentine rural confederation CRA will begin on Monday a four-day commercial strike in response to an increase on export taxes for soy, a source from CRA said on Thursday.

The strike follows the government's hike on the export levy on soybeans, soymeal and soyoil to 33% from a previous 30%.

CRA is one of several farm associations in Argentina.
