A blog post by Diego Castagnasso provides an update on the ongoing strike at US ports, stating that it is on hold until at least January, impacting trade routes to Morocco and Chile. The post then delves into the blueberry market, focusing on New Zealand and South Korea, noting New Zealand's dependence on Australia for blueberry exports and Chile's dominance in the South Korean market.
