The CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export Council says the lack of empty shipping containers to export ag commodities appears to be limited to a certain region.
Jim Sutter tells Brownfield, “From what I hear, it’s having an impact, a negative impact on shipments from kind of the northern part of the U.S. Somebody referred to it to me today calling the I-94 corridor.”
Sutter says exporters from Minneapolis and west might have difficulty getting containers, but he is hearing other places including Chicago are not having problems.
