Nebraska's largest exports are corn, soybeans, beef and pork products, industrial machinery, and processed foods, with Japan, Mexico, Canada, and China among the top destination markets.
Nebraska shippers rely heavily on BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines to reach Gulf Coast ports like Houston and New Orleans, as well as West Coast ports in Los Angeles and Seattle for Pacific Rim shipments.
