For the week ending June 24, total inspections of grain (corn, wheat, and soybeans) for export from all major U.S. export regions totaled 1.4 million metric tons (MMT).

Total grain inspections were down 45% from the previous week, down 33% from last year, and down 35% from the three-year average.

Grain inspections were the lowest since the .500 MMT level of early January 2019.

Compared to the previous week, inspections of corn were down 43%; wheat, down 48%; and soybeans, down 49%.

These large drops in inspections reflected a 69% decrease in shipments through the Mississippi Gulf. Mississippi Gulf exports were down notably to Asia and South America. Pacific Northwest (PNW) grain inspections decreased 10% from the previous week.
