Abstract:This study was designed to be a resource for producers, shippers, and exporters seeking to diversify their markets through IP shipments. Included are examples of markets for IP grains, trends for containerized movements of grain, and general logistical information to provide a base for understanding how one might make a successful container shipment, considering costs, services, and logistical alternatives. One component of this study is a cost analysis and comparison of bulk versus container movements to help individuals interested in shipping by container. By downloading the spreadsheet into Lotus 123, Corel Quattro Pro, or Microsoft Excel individual costs can be entered for each component for an authentic, as opposed to a simulated, price comparison.
