River, road and rail problems in Argentina and Brazil make the transport of oilseeds exceptionally problematic, causing delays for purchasers worldwide. A report from HighQuest partners assesses the situation.Argentina, Brazil and the USA are completely different markets in terms of interior infrastructure and the relative distance from the major soyabean growing regions to the primary soyabean export ports. While soyabeans in the USA, on average, have to travel the longest distance to reach the export facilities in New Orleans Louisiana (N'OLA) and the Pacific North West (PNW), the advanced river and rail infrastructure allows for soyabeans to reach the export markets in a timely manner and modern infrastructure at the ports allows for quick loading and limited delays. This is an advantage because rail lines and barges allow US exporters to load a greater quantity of soyabeans at a given time, reducing per unit transportation costs, despite the longer distances.
