Inaugural New Orleans TradeNumbers published

September 27th, 2007

WorldCity announced the release of its inaugural edition of New Orleans TradeNumbers, an annual publication that looks at the leading trade partners, top imports and top exports for the nation’s sixth-busiest Customs district.

It is being released in time for the Journal of Commerce’s Breakbulk Conference in New Orleans in October, sponsored by the Port of New Orleans.

We are excited about launching a publication for the New Orleans area, said WorldCity President Ken Roberts. In an area often yearning for good news, good economic news, this is it. New Orleans trade with the world increased at nearly 50 percent faster than the rate for the United States as a whole.

The publication, co-sponsored by the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana, two of the nation’s busiest seaports, is one of a series of TradeNumbers publications produced for the nation’s leading Customs districts.

Other TradeNumbers publications produced in 2007 include Miami TradeNumbers, now in its seventh year; Americas TradeNumbers, now in its fifth year; Los Angeles, U.S. and Georgia TradeNumbers, all in their second year; and the China TradeNumbers Special Report, like New Orleans in its inaugural year.

WorldCity will next be producing a version of Americas TradeNumbers, which focuses on U.S. trade within the Western Hemisphere, in Spanish in October.
