Florida's seaports play an essential role in supplying
critical commodities that are fundamental to our
daily lives, economic stability, and overall well-being.

COUNCIL
Most Floridians do not realize how important
Florida's seaports are to ensuring our state
has the goods and supplies it needs to keep
Floridians moving.
Far too often, that realization only happens in times
of a natural disaster- like the 2024 hurricane season,
when fuel supply was essential to getting Floridians
and our state back on their feet.
Yet, Florida's 16 seaports play an outsized role in
making sure grocery stores are stocked with food,
gas stations have fuel, and hospitals and pharmacies
have the medical supplies to heal patients and keep
Floridians healthy.

"Agriculture is vital to Florida's economy,
creating employment opportunities for
over 2 million Floridians and generating
more than $200 billion in annual economic
impact to the state. Florida's seaports
import and export nearly $70 billion in
food, vegetables and perishable goods
each year, ensuring our state and nation's
food supply chain remains strong."

"As Chair of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, I
can attest that back-to-back hurricanes have
made it as important as ever to help Floridians
get back on their feet. As Floridians continue
their recovery process, furnishing their homes
will be an important step in getting things back
to normal. Florida imports more than $7 billion in
furnishings annually, and we appreciate the
important work of the Florida Ports Council and
we trust Florida's reliable seaports to deliver
those furnishings into the Sunshine State."

"Florida is growing faster than ever, and our
infrastructure must grow with it. We need to
keep Florida moving, with new roads,
bridges, and critical infrastructure - an
essential part of Florida's success. As one of
the largest producers and users of cement
and aggregate in Florida, we rely on imports
at Florida's seaports as a critical supplement
to this production to keep Florida growing."
