Cargo Preference Law Hurts Farm Exports Says Farm Bureau
Washington farm leaders plan a push in January to end the cargo preference rule requiring U S government overseas shipments of farm surpluses to move in U S ships. The American Farm Bureau Federation argues the policy raises costs, hinders sales, and benefits merchant shipping subsidies. Opponents say the policy is sorely burdensome with limited foreign currency options and that foreign ships compete on price. The Bureau cites grain shipments to Turkey showing U S ships cost 2.97 per ton more than foreign vessels, a loss of potential grain value and sales.
