# Argentina's Rosario Port Falls in 2023 Exports, New Orleans Takes Top Spot - Farm Policy News

> A Rosario grains exchange report shows Argentina's Rosario port lost its place as the world's No. 2 grain export hub in 2023, shipping 42.4 million tons versus 62.3 million from Santos, Brazil. New Orleans took the top spot, and the drop reflects the severe 2023 drought.
