AgTC: Port and Carriers Reaching Out to Ag Exporters: Unique and Timely Opportunity

The Agriculture Transportation Coalition (AgTC) reports an unprecedented meeting took place last week when 35 AgTC members representing a broad array of agriculture and forest products met with senior representatives of all 10 Westbound TransPacific Stabilization Agreement carriers. Closed door, no press, face-to-face discussion. What do ag exporters need and what do carriers need in order to assure ship space and equipment to handle growing export volumes?

Carriers learned that their export volume projections are way off and learned how damaging frequent GRIs/surcharges are to ag shipments that are forward-sold by many months. Read more about the meeting online.
