# Grain Transportation Report, December 16, 2021

> The USDA Grain Transportation Report for December 16, 2021 covers containerized grain exports, which are up year over year but have fallen most months since January's peak. Inland bottlenecks and tight ocean container capacity have raised costs and delays for exporters. The report also notes a governors' initiative to ease trucking rules.

## Why it matters

Higher container freight and inland delays raise the cost of getting U.S. grain to overseas buyers, which can widen export basis and weigh on farm prices. Tight container supply is a continuing cost pressure for exporters.
