# China purchase what U.S. sorghum's been waiting for - Brownfield Ag News

> China made its first purchase of U.S. sorghum in over a year, a small volume of about 2.5 million bushels. Total U.S. sorghum export sales remain below 35 million bushels, far under the more than 200 million bushels exported a year earlier. Sorghum groups say Chinese end users still want to buy U.S. product.

## Why it matters

China was historically the largest buyer of U.S. sorghum, so a resumption of purchases supports export demand and cash prices. The volume is small, so the effect on prices is likely limited until more sales follow.
