Brazil's Paranagua port restarts soy shipments

Paranagua port authorities said soy shipments have restarted from in southern Brazil, local news service Estado reported late Wednesday.

Longshoremen and dockers caused delays Wednesday for trucks entering Paranagua port.

However, the workers, who load ships with agricultural commodities and operate shiploader equipment, restarted work at 6:00 p.m. local time said Estado.

Officials at Paranagua Port Authorities were unavailable for comment.

Brazil is the world's second largest soy exporter behind the US.
