# Sorghum exports approach 2 million tonnes

> Brazilian sorghum exports in 2026 are approaching 2 million tonnes, a record according to Comex Stat data, with Chinese purchases driving sales after a year of near-zero shipments. Veeries counts about 2.7 million tonnes when shipments already made are added to cargoes scheduled on vessel programs as of November 5. CropLife Brasil reports sorghum planted area rose about 30% in the 2025/26 crop, or roughly 550,000 hectares.
