From CBS 13:

For decades, agricultural-related products like gypsum from Mexico have been the Port of Stockton’s primary cargo.

And last year the port set a new all-time shipping record.

“We had our best year ever with about $56 million in revenue,” said Pete Grossgart from the Port of Stockton.

In 2017, more than six million tons of cargo came through the port. That’s 300,000 tons more than the year before and nearly double the amount in 2010.

Now the port is trying to diversify the kinds of cargo coming through.

“Particularly biofuels and renewable energy,” Grossgart said.

The Port of Stockton is also working to attract a wood-pellet manufacturing plant that could ship the fuel to Japan.
