Port Freeport received a $9,412,500 grant from the U.S. Maritime Administration's Port Infrastructure Development Program to modernize its bulk rice-handling facilities. The funds will replace a 25-year-old bulk rice loader, install a new rack system in the rice storage shed, and relocate the shed's southern wall to expand berthing space.
The upgrade improves handling efficiency for rice exports and imports at a Texas port, but the capacity addition is small and unlikely to move global rice prices.
