U.S. Inland Waterways Economic Study Affirms Reliability
The extensive U.S. inland waterways system ensures a reliable supply of soybeans and soy products efficiently reach global customers. The system includes a vast network of more than 19,300 km, or 12,000 miles, of connecting waterways and 218 locks.1 Recently released economic research on the value these waterways bring to specific U.S. states further reinforces the reliability of this transportation system for U.S. exports.
