A leader with the American Soybean Association says she’s concerned about the threat of a port strike and its potential impact on the soy industry.
ASA director of government affairs Alexa Combelic says a shutdown of East and Gulf Coast export facilities would disrupt the U.S. supply chain. “These are the ports that are shipping goods via container,” she said. “While most soybeans are sent via bulk shipment, we have over two and a half million metric tons of soybeans that are shipped via container.”
