For the week ending April 22, total inspections of grain (corn, wheat, and soybeans) for export from all major U.S. export regions totaled 2.8 million metric tons (MMT).
Total grain inspections were up 14% from the previous week, up 28% from last year, and up 16% from the 3-year average.
The increase in inspections reflected a 25% jump in corn inspections and a 5% increase in soybean inspections.
Inspections destined to Asia accounted for most of the corn increase.
Corn accounted for about 70% of total grain inspections for the week.
Inspections of wheat, however, were down 10% from the previous week.
Pacific Northwest (PNW) grain inspections rose 21% from the past week, and Mississippi Gulf inspections rose 23%.
