The USDA is partnering with the Port of Oakland to set up a new 25-acre \u201cpop-up\u201d site to make it easier for agricultural companies to fill empty shipping containers with commodities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fewer containers have been made available for U.S. agricultural commodities, as ocean carriers have circumvented traditional marketing channels and rushed containers back to be exported empty and as a result, many of these carriers have suspended service to the Port of Oakland. USDA is now taking action to reduce these shipping disruptions that have prevented U.S. agricultural products from reaching their markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 revealed vulnerabilities across our supply system, both at our ports and in the agricultural sector,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>U.S. Agriculture Secretary Vilsack said.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cAs the economy has made an historic recovery, it has put additional strain on the supply chain. The Biden-Harris Administration is using creative approaches to improve port operations while elevating American-grown food and fiber. This partnership with the Port of Oakland builds on our aggressive approach to addressing challenges within the supply chain and sends a strong signal that we are committed to working across the Administration and with state, local and private partners to mitigate complex port capacity and congestion issues and to keep American agriculture on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis creative partnership with USDA and the Port of Oakland will help American farmers and agricultural producers move their product to market while also making better use of empty containers that are causing congestion at the ports,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cAfter we helped set up inland pop-up ports at the Port of Savannah, we witnessed significant improvements in the flow of goods, and we expect to see similarly positive results once this Oakland facility is open. We look forward to engaging with other ports on similar solutions to congestion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is an important step that shows the value of players in the supply chain coming together to identify challenges as well as potential solutions,\u201d\u00a0<strong>said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI wish to thank the USDA for making this investment. It will help improve access to overseas markets for California agriculture producers at a critical time of year for exports of high-value specialty crops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site will provide space to prepare empty containers beginning in early March. Agricultural companies and cooperatives will have easier access to these containers, which they will fill with commodities, restoring shipping services to agricultural products while relieving congestion. The new site will also have a dedicated gate with the ability to pre-cool refrigerated shipping containers to receive perishable commodities, all while avoiding bottlenecks that would have resulted from entering the main area of the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/press-releases\/2022\/01\/31\/usda-announces-partnership-ease-port-congestion-and-restore\">Read more here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a USDA news release USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced plans to increase capacity at the Port of Oakland and improve service for shippers of U.S. grown agricultural commodities.
