The USDA Grain Transportation Report shows total grain inspections for export at 2.31 million tonnes for the week ending November 28, down 26% week on week and 14% year on year. Mississippi River lock volumes for the week ending November 30 reached 1.02 million tons, the highest weekly volume of 2019.
Heavy river barge volumes signal strong Mississippi movement that supports barge freight availability, while weaker weekly export inspections point to softer near-term US grain export demand.
