Farm exporters uncertain about Portland transload facility

The Port of Portland opened a rail transload facility at Terminal 6 allowing containers to move by rail to Puget Sound ports. Farm exporters remain uncertain about its success given rail disruptions and container availability.

WHY IT MATTERS

Improved container options for Oregon farm exporters may modestly ease export logistics for hay and agricultural goods, with limited effect on bulk grain prices.
