U.S. corn export inspections more than double year-ago levels
U.S. export inspections remain on pace to meet or exceed the USDA’s projection for the current marketing year. The USDA says corn inspections during the week ending November 13th were more than double the year ago total with Mexico topping the list as the strong sales earlier in the marketing year leave U.S. ports. Wheat inspections are also on pace to meet or exceed USDA projections, while soybean inspections continue to trend behind last marketing year because of the relative lack of demand from China. The USDA’s next round of supply and demand projections is out December 9th.
The 2025/26 marketing year got underway June 1st for wheat and September 1st for corn, sorghum, and soybeans.
Wheat came out at 246,533 tons, down 44,910 from the week ending November 6th, but up 49,395 from the week ending November 14th, 2024. The primary destinations were Japan and Indonesia. Approaching the second half of the 2025/26 marketing year, wheat inspections are 12,363,115 tons, compared to 10,363,288 in 2024/25.
Corn was reported at 2,053,932 tons, an increase of 569,318 from the previous week and 1,180,271 from a year ago. The top destinations were Mexico and Japan. Late in the first quarter of the marketing year, corn inspections are 15,838,871 tons, compared to 9,155,267 this time last year.
Soybeans were pegged at 1,176,307 tons, 51,639 higher than the week before, but 1,090,769 lower than last year. The main destinations were Mexico and Italy. So far, this marketing year, soybean inspections are 10,109,477 tons, compared to 17,587,634 a year ago.
