For the week ending June 11, total inspections of grain (corn, wheat, and soybeans) for export from all major U.S. export regions totaled 1.76 million metric tons (MMT).
Total grain inspections were down 9 percent from the previous week, unchanged from last year, and down 23 percent from the 3-year average.
Soybean inspections increased 37 percent from week to week as shipments through the Mississippi Gulf and the Interior rebounded.
The increase in soybean inspections, however, did not completely offset the decreases for corn (down 22 percent) and wheat (down 7 percent) in the total.
Pacific Northwest (PNW) grain inspections increased 7 percent from the previous week, and Mississippi Gulf inspections decreased 16 percent from the same period.
Outstanding export sales were also up from the previous week for soybeans, but down for wheat and corn.
