A USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report on the Grain Transportation Report says containerized grain exports rose 32% in Q1 2021 versus the prior four-year average despite severe congestion at Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland. Record import container volumes continue to strain ports, rail, trucking and ocean service.
Persistent port congestion raises freight and delays for US grain exports, which can widen basis and slow shipments, though export volumes have held up.
