How US Exporters Are Losing Billions to Empty Containers

from The Supply Chain Economy with Fexingo: Logistics, Shipping, and Goods Movement · host Fexingo

Episode 53 of The Supply Chain Economy digs into a paradox that's costing US exporters billions: the same ports that are flooded with empty containers can't get those boxes back to farmers and manufacturers who need them. Lucas and Luna trace the problem from the container yards of Savannah to the wheat fields of Kansas, using fresh April 2026 data on the US trade deficit and industrial production. They explain why shipping lines prefer to reposition containers empty to Asia rather than pay US exporters to fill them, and what the new US-Iran peace deal might mean for shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz. A focused, numbers-driven look at one of the most stubborn inefficiencies in global logistics — and why it's getting worse, not better. #EmptyContainers #USExports #TradeDeficit #ContainerImbalance #ShippingLogistics #PortSavannah #KansasWheat #IndustrialProduction #StraitOfHormuz #IranDeal #SupplyChain #Logistics #Freight #Exporters #GlobalTrade #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
