AgTC Survey

AgTC Members want to be assured of the ocean freight environment, now and if possible, in the future. This includes shipping rate trends, equipment/container availability and vessel space, focusing on the export trades. Taking advantage of our broad membership, with our many geographic origins and destinations, diverse cargoes, requiring both reefer and dry containers, we collect this information, confidentially, assemble it and then share the results, in easily understandable pie charts, with our members.

We welcome any ag shippers (importer or exporter) wishing to take the current Quarterly Survey. Results are collected, assembled in pie chart format, and posted on the AgTC Website every 3 months.
