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.
