A Boost for Grain Exports From Port of Duluth

Grain shipments out of the Port of Duluth continue to increase. “Our entire import-export trade business, as a whole, has been a highlight for us in Duluth-Superior this year,” said Jayson Hron, communications and marketing director, Duluth Seaway Porth Authority. “We finished the month of November 28 percent ahead of last year’s pace in terms of import-export tonnage and that was driven primarily by a 56 percent increase in export tonnage. Grain comprised the bulk of those exports as it always does here at the Port of Duluth-Superior.”
