Mississippi International Trade

Mississippi's trade is driven by its Gulf Coast port infrastructure, particularly the Port of Gulfport and the Port of Pascagoula, which handle petroleum, chemicals, agricultural commodities, and containerized cargo. The state exports soybeans, petroleum products, chemicals, and transportation equipment, while its shipbuilding industry contributes to defense-related exports. The Mississippi River corridor provides critical inland waterway access linking the state to Midwest agricultural supply chains.
