Rail Deliveries to U.S. Ports Outpace 2016
USAgNet - 06/23/2017

Year-to-date rail deliveries of U.S. grain to port for export are up noticeably from the same time last year. Deliveries of grain are up mainly due to increasing demand from Asia and Latin America.

Year-to-date rail deliveries of grain are up 23 percent in the Pacific Northwest; up 30 percent in the Texas Gulf; up 137 percent in the Mississippi Gulf; and up 18 percent in the Atlantic region.

For the same period, increased rail deliveries can also be reflected in increased U.S. grain inspected for export, which is currently up 26 percent from last year (Table 16).

In addition, cross-border movements of grain, which are shipped primarily to Mexico, are up 10 percent from last year, and Interior grain inspections are up 24 percent for the same period.

Year-to-date grain inspections are up substantially in each of the other major export regions, with the exception of the Atlantic.
