Industrial Relations: Argentinean farmers suspend strike

Argentina's four main farm groups have announced the suspension of a 13-day strike against export restrictions to make way for talks with the government.

Mario Llambias, head of the Confederation of Rural Argentines said Monday that farmers will resume sales of wheat, soy and sunflower seeds early on Wednesday.

Farmers suspended grain sales on May 7 to protest high export taxes and other restrictions imposed by the government.
