Dry bulk
Potash, a nutrient used in fertilizer, is one of the dry bulk products moved through Terminal 5. Canpotex recently completed a terminal expansion to boost production capacity from 3.5 million metric tons per year to a total of 7.5 million metric tons per year.
Grain
A top local commodity, Oregon grown bulk grains are exported to Japan and other parts of the world. On average, 2-4 million tons of grain is shipped through Portland annually to feed other parts of the world. Historians have even referred to the Columbia River as a “river of grain” for its strong connection in moving the crop.

This is the story of Oregon wheat, typically soft white wheat grown in the vast expanses of Eastern Oregon, and in lush Willamette River Valleys. Wheat from these diverse regions has a common trait. It helps feed a hungry world. Which means it must travel from farm to river to terminals at the Port of Portland…and on to the world.
Oregon Wheat
More wheat is exported from the Port of Portland than from any other U.S. seaport. Around 90 percent of Oregon grown wheat is exported overseas. From farm to table, learn how wheat grown here helps feed the world and boost our economy.
