Port ranks number one for refrigerated exports, supports $8.5 billion in ag exports.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Port of Oakland continues to be one of the most important gateways for U.S. agricultural products. The Port exported 235,899 TEUs (twenty-foot containers) of agricultural commodities as of October 2024, totaling nearly $8.5 billion. Oakland ranks number one by TEU volume in international refrigerated (reefer) export trade among United States ports.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Port of Oakland is a major international gateway for California\u2019s and the nation\u2019s farmers,\u201d said Port of Oakland Maritime Director Bryan Brandes. \u201cAgricultural exports are especially important commodities for our Port\u2019s business. In any given year, agricultural products comprise between 37% and 45% of total exports from Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n Oakland has ranked first among all U.S. ports in international reefer export TEUs for seven consecutive years. The total commercial value of reefer exports through Oakland reached $7 billion in 2023. The Port and its partners have made substantial investments in facilities for ag and refrigerated products in the last seven years. These investments, including Cool Port and PCC Logistics warehouses, have paved the way for greatly expanding the transportation of agricultural, refrigerated and frozen products through the Port.<\/p>\n The Oakland Seaport\u2019s proximity to the California Central Valley, its ocean carrier services that depart directly for Asia, and its on-site cold storage infrastructure support Oakland\u2019s position as an export powerhouse for the United States. Ninety percent of the region\u2019s agricultural products pass through the Port\u2019s marine terminals heading to markets overseas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
