Louisiana is a major US trade hub anchored by the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana, two of the busiest ports by tonnage in the Western Hemisphere. The state's exports are dominated by petroleum products, chemicals, soybeans, and corn, with significant import activity in crude oil and manufactured goods. Louisiana's extensive inland waterway network via the Mississippi River connects it to agricultural and industrial supply chains across the Midwest.
Louisiana's top exports include petroleum and coal products, chemicals, soybeans, corn, and industrial machinery, largely moving through its Gulf Coast port infrastructure.
The Port of South Louisiana and the Port of New Orleans handle the majority of Louisiana's international trade volume, with additional activity at the Port of Baton Rouge and Port of Lake Charles.
Louisiana's primary trading partners include China, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and various European Union nations, driven largely by energy and agricultural commodity flows.
