USDA data says that grain and soybean inspections for overseas delivery declined week-to-week during the seven days ending on August 14.
Wheat assessments were reported at 395,240 metric tons, down from almost 415,000 last week but still higher than the same week last year. Corn inspections reached 1.05 million metric tons versus 1.52 million tons the previous week and the 1.22 million tons inspected last year. Examinations of soybeans for export reached just over 473,600 metric tons. USDA said that’s down from the 544,200 tons a week earlier, but higher than the 406,000 tons in 2024.
So far, since the start of each commodity’s marketing year, the government has inspected 64.2 million metric tons of corn compared to 50.2 million last year, 48.9 million metric tons of soybeans compared to 43.8 million tons last year, and 4.81 million metric tons of wheat, an improvement from 4.64 million last year.
