U.S. agriculture and the Panama Canal have a mutually beneficial relationship. Grain and oilseeds originating in the U.S. account for nearly 6% of Panama Canal revenues. This makes up nearly 27% of total Canal cargo and 30% of its dry bulk vessel tonnage. Total cost of the Panama Canal expansion project: $5.25 billion.
