Breaking News-RTRS-Argentine police close access to key grains port

BUENOS AIRES, March 26 (Reuters) - Argentine police have closed a road leading to one of Argentina's main grains ports after protests by dockworkers, sources said on Friday.
Police closed off access to the San Martin port, one of the country's leading grains ports, following days of protests by workers who have halted the loading and unloading of ships to demand higher wages.
Several terminals at San Martin were not receiving grains because a road leading to the port was closed, sources said.
