The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s export sales report for the week ending November 27, 2025, reveals strong demand for major agricultural commodities, with corn and soybeans leading the way in volume and value.
Corn export sales reached 2.05 million metric tons this week, up from 1.94 million the previous week, with cumulative exports for the marketing year totaling nearly 19.7 million metric tons. The European Union, Japan and Taiwan remain top destinations for U.S. corn, reflecting steady international demand.
Soybean sales, while lower this week at 1.21 million metric tons compared to 2.46 million the prior week, continue to show strong year-to-date shipments, totaling over 11.6 million metric tons. Soybean meal and oil sales also increased, with meal reaching 487,600 metric tons and oil sales rising to 27,300 metric tons.
China remains a significant buyer of U.S. soybeans, with year-to-date commitments and flash sales exceeding 3 million metric tons through early December. While recent shipments to China have been low, the trade deal announced in late October is expected to boost future sales.
Wheat export sales climbed to 480,000 metric tons this week, with total outstanding sales exceeding 6 million metric tons. Hard red winter wheat remains a key export, with strong sales to Japan and other Asian markets.
Other notable commodities include grain sorghum, which saw a significant jump in sales to 327,300 metric tons, and cotton, maintaining steady sales with upland cotton at 136,000 running bales.
