Export Inspections Down Week Over Week

Inspections of corn, beans and wheat for overseas delivery all declined week to week, according to data from the Ag Department. Corn inspections in the seven days that ended on Oct. 31 were reported at 779,078 metric tons, the agency said. That’s down more than seven percent from a week earlier but more than 26 percent above the 574,558 tons assessed during the same week a year earlier.

Soybean assessments totaled 2.16 million tons, down from 2.63 million tons the previous week and just below the 2.18 million tons inspected at the same point in 2023.

Examinations of wheat for export dropped to 193,523 tons, just 65 percent of the inspections the week prior. The total was still above the 114,318 tons assessed in the same week last year, the agency said. Since the start of the marketing year on Sept. 1, USDA has inspected 7.42 million metric tons of wheat for export. That’s up from 5.55 million tons during the same time frame a year earlier.
