| 摘要： | Information on transportation systems and patterns of trade is important to U.S. grain exporters. Due to its geographic location, Mexico's market is unique and can be served by overland truck and rail as well as maritime transportation. An analysis of the transportation of U.S. grain exports by mode provides information about changes in competitiveness and relative efficiencies among the modes. This report analyzes the current U.S.- Mexico grain and soybean trade patterns, followed by a description of modal shares for corn, sorghum, wheat, and soybeans. In the last 5 years, transportation of the commodities considered in this study (corn, sorghum, wheat, and soybeans) has shifted from maritime to overland. Rail is the major overland transportation mode for all grains but sorghum. Sorghum is shipped by truck because of the proximity of the production areas in Texas Rio Grande Valley to the border. Shippers (defined as producers and exporters for the purpose of this analysis) along the border have the advantage of proximity unless there are no local railroads available within about 350 miles, when they must ship by truck. Trucking dominates freight shipments on hauls of fewer than 300 miles. |
