Grain Export Inspections Stay Steady

By Kirk Maltais

Export inspections for U.S. grains have stayed relatively unchanged from last week, according to USDA data.

In its latest grain export inspections report, the USDA said that corn inspections totaled 1.68 million metric tons for the week ended April 28. That's up slightly from 1.67 million tons last week. Meanwhile, U.S. soybean inspections totaled 601,282 tons for the week, up from 605,385 tons the previous week--and wheat inspections totaled 384,460 tons, up from 289,607 tons last week.

China was a leading destination for corn and soybeans this week, while Mexico was the top destination for wheat. Other big destinations for U.S. grains include Colombia and Japan.

Grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade are mostly lower Monday--with corn down 1.7%, soybeans down 2.1%, and wheat up 0.1%.
