Florida operates with several distinctive industry characteristics: hurricane-season supply chain disruption windows, year-round high humidity affecting wood moisture content, the highest export pallet demand in the Southeast US through PortMiami, JAXPORT, Port Tampa Bay, Port Everglades, and Port Manatee, and Florida's position as the gateway for 60%+ of US-Latin America trade.
