Copper exports slowed from the world’s top producer of the metal as a port strike in northern Chile entered its fifth day.
Some workers at the port of Angamos in the Antofagasta region started striking March 16 to push for better conditions, blocking others from entering the area. The unrest has delayed the loading of copper from Codelco onto one vessel, an official from the state-owned miner said by telephone today.
