U.S. corn export sales reached a marketing year high in the week ending March 16, with over 3 million tons sold and nearly 2.3 million tons bought by China. Soybean oil also hit a marketing year high, while sorghum sales fell to a marketing year low after a Chinese cancellation.
Soybean, wheat, rice and soybean meal sales declined week-to-week.
Record corn export sales tighten U.S. corn supplies, supporting prices, while the sorghum cancellation weighs on sorghum demand and soybean meal sales slowing points to softer meal demand.
