TRUCKERS' STRIKE & PROTEST * Brazil

* Mato Grosso - Blockade halts Brazilian grain trucks
-- Truck drivers protesting high diesel prices in Brazil used road blocks to restrict the flow of soy, corn and other commodities in a key grain-growing region for a third day on Friday, threatening what is expected to be a record harvest... A group of transport companies and independent truck drivers are blocking the flow of goods on the main highway and other major roads in Mato Grosso, a center-west state that is Brazil's top producer of soybeans and a major source of corn and livestock... The protest began on Wednesday as truckers parked on the shoulders of highway BR 163 in two of the state's towns but quickly spread to include the towns of Nova Mutum, Lucas do Rio Verde, Sorriso and Sinop, said Rota do Oeste, the road operator for the highway in Mato Grosso... Truckers and transport companies are scheduled to talk with officials of the state government later on Friday...
