Xeneta's Ocean Outlook 2027 projects a 30% full-year drop in global spot freight rates and a 5% decline in long-term contract rates in 2027. The forecast uses Q3 2026 as baseline, after spot rates on Far East to US West Coast routes rose about 344% since February.
Expected lower ocean freight would reduce landed costs for imported feed ingredients and US grain export margins, but the forecast is a 2027 outlook and does not change near-term prices.
