Argentina-Farmers go back to Roadblocks.
ARGENTINA-FARMERS GO BACK ON STRIKE.
Argentine farmers yesterday came out from their third meeting with the government in as many weeks, unhappy about what they termed "scant" progress to solve a dispute over export duties, and called on the grassroots to take to the roadsides tomorrow to mark the first anniversary since they started an epic protest to press for their demands and oppose a drive to increase export duties.
The administration of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in turn said that the protest and a main rally in the central Córdoba province "don’t contribute" to a solution.
After meeting for four hours with Production Minister Débora Giorgi and Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo, the four main farm leaders told the press that results of their meeting were "scant" and that they will continue to demand from the government a segmentation of duties on soybeans — the country’s main export product — and that they will also take their demand to Congress.
