For a truck yeah, but across the ocean, it isn't quite that simple because GPUs and grains are sent in different types of ships (or different modes entirely) that aren't interchangeable.


You're right - perishable goods have to be shipped fast. Your bananas, berries, fresh fish, and not-fron-concentrate juice can't be on some slow-steaming container ship with the furniture, clothes, building materials and vehicles.

The GPUs can though.


Rice is a nonperishable grain. Grain ships in neither of those. Grain is shipped in bulk carriers


And the GPUs are such high margin that they all take an airplane anyway.


That is other “different mode entirely” that exists to go across an ocean :)
