17Effects of Katrina
- Roughly 60 of U.S. grain exports leave through
New Orleans and neighboring ports - The Gulf region contains 5 of the top 12 U.S.
ports, including South Louisiana, the nations
top port by cargo volume - Cargo shipped through ports in the region
affected by Katrina is valued at about 150
billion a year - There is no adequate substitute for the
Mississippi River as a shipping route, forcing
many to consider rail or road routes.

Friday provided some evidence that the very
substantial increases in the prices of many
