[Argentina] Protests: Peaceful protest

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 20, 2025, a small-scale peaceful protest occurred in Luján, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, demanding the release of detainees related to a mistaken lynching incident. The family-led protest took place in front of the prosecutor's office and was rated as low-level, with no direct physical confrontations or infrastructure damage reported.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Buenos Aires Province logistics network: While the Luján region is located in Argentina's major agricultural belt, traffic disruptions or logistics delays from the small-scale peaceful protest are expected to be limited
• Agricultural transport routes: Temporary impact possible on grain and meat transportation passing through the region, but given the scale and nature of the protest, impact is assessed as minimal
• Local commercial activity: Short-term impact possible on general commercial activities near the prosecutor's office area, but ripple effects on the overall supply chain are negligible

3) Watch points

• Protest spread: Need to observe the possibility of solidarity protests spreading to other regions beyond Luján and trends in scale changes
• Legal proceedings: Monitoring required for the impact of detainee release decisions and related legal outcomes on additional protest activities
