Loading and Unloading A truckload of cotton enters the wharves for export at New Orleans. First in the nation in the export of U.S. cotton, the Port of New Orleans is paradoxically an import point for foreign cotton. Notice the tracks of the Public Belt Railway, which serves the Port area with over 125 miles of tracks connecting the 8 major trunk lines serving the port.

Loading and Unloading The Port of New Orleans is proud of its record of export-import balance. First in the nation in cotton exports, the Port also ranks high in the import of foreign cotton. Since all foreign cotton must be fumigated, the vacuum fumigating plant of the port makes it very popular to importers.

Loading and Unloading Burlap from Pakistan. Previously all burlap came from India, but during 1953 Pakistan began to export the commodity, too. New Orleans is first port in the U.S. in burlap imports, and is second in imports of raw bagging materials: jute, hemp and sisal. Several twine, cordage and bagging companies moved to New Orleans during 1952 to take advantage of these imports. New Orleans is the natural port of entry for commodities from the Near East and Far East as the port is closer to the Panama Canal than are Atlantic coast ports.
