North America boasts a diverse climate and thriving natural resource industries, including agriculture, forestry, mining, and drilling. The agricultural sector is marked by extensive cultivation of crops such as corn, fruit, cocoa, soybeans, and wheat, alongside significant livestock production. Forestry operations contribute to a significant portion of the continent’s economy, with businesses focusing on managing and exporting vast forested areas.

The mining sector extracts valuable resources like coal, gold, and copper, which are then shipped across the globe. Additionally, drilling activities in North America encompass oil and natural gas exploration, particularly in regions like the Permian Basin and Alberta's oil sands. These industries collectively play pivotal roles in the continent's economy, supporting employment and exports, and contributing to the global supply chain.

This array of industries will each require different shipping solutions which is why it’s important to work with a shipping company in America that understands these different requirements and can offer dedicated support.

Extending from an equatorial zone in the north to a narrower sub-arctic area in the south, South America also has a range of climatic temperatures that make it rich in natural resources. The coffee industry in South America plays a significant role in global coffee trade. Similarly, other agricultural commodities such as soybeans, sugar, bananas, wool, seafood, and beef are all major South American exports. Equally, the growing demand for avocados, combined with South America’s climate which allows for year-round cultivation makes the continent a major supplier for numerous international markets.

The mining sector in South America is notable for its extraction of diverse minerals, including copper, gold, and iron ore. Additionally, the continent also hosts extensive drilling activities for oil and natural gas exploration.

Another significant group of commodities frequently exported from South America includes vehicle parts and electronics. As these are often incorporated into international supply chains, ensuring their safe and timely delivery is vital for global production schedules.
