The Impact on Turf Companies 

Freight rates have surged by 233% from last year, now costing $5,117 per 40ft container. While large retailers have multi-year contracts to buffer these costs, turf companies importing lower volumes face volatile markets and higher prices, struggling to manage costs and maintain stock. Negotiated rates from last year are now obsolete, forcing many to scramble to avoid empty shelves.
