# Strong week for sorghum, soybean exports - Brownfield Ag News

> USDA weekly export sales for the week ending October 31 showed sorghum sales at a new marketing-year high, with China leading soybean buying. Soybean exports rose sharply week over week and topped pre-report expectations. Net pork sales to China fell 45% on the week, and China cancelled 2,000 tons of 2020 pork delivery.

## Why it matters

Robust sorghum and soybean sales to China support US prices, while disappointing pork demand from China is a bearish signal for hog markets. The sorghum and soybean sales pace underpins export demand into the new crop year.
