Asia’s burgeoning middle class can’t get enough chicken feet, and that demand is helping make Georgia’s Port of Savannah the fastest growing in the U.S.
Feet and chicken leg quarters have pushed Savannah to an annual growth rate of 11 percent in the past decade, double that of Houston, the second-quickest. Savannah has ranked third in container shipments, trailing only Los Angeles/Long Beach and New York/New Jersey, since 2007 after not even cracking the top 10-list 15 years ago.
