This dataset contains transportation and landed costs of Brazilian soybeans to Shanghai, China and Hamburg, Germany. Transportation costs are broken out by mode and vary by route. The data also contains Brazil farm values to compute total landed costs.

Quarterly ocean freight rates for shipping soybeans from select Brazilian ports to Shanghai, China and Hamburg, Germany.

This dataset provides quarterly truck rates for select Brazilian soybean-export routes (designated by origin and destination).

This dataset is also used to calculate a weighted-average truck rate, which can be viewed here: https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/i4ty-m7hq. A share associated with each row is used to define the weight of a given route's freight price in the composition of the weighted freight index. This calculation is made based on the quantity of production in the route's mesoregion as that quantity relates to the total produced by all mesoregions considered in the project. In 2020, the selected mesoregions represented about 81 percent of national production, so the shares will not sum to one.

The data represents U.S. corn, soybeans, and wheat production starting from 1978.

The data represents total U.S. grain movements involving barge, rail and truck by commodity and market type; starting from 1984.
