Abstract
The objective of this report is to develop a profile of the U.S. containerized grain and oilseed export industry, including marketing activities, future expectations, information needs, and business practices. This report forms Phase I in a proposed two-phase analysis of the grain container industry. Information developed in this report regarding shipment origins, commodity volumes, and market destinations provides a base for conducting a survey of industry participants that might be used as a tool in development, planning, and enhancement of opportunities for containerized marketing of grain products.
