# U.S. Wheat Sales on Pace to Match 5-Year Average - U.S. Wheat Associates

> US wheat export sales for the 2017/18 marketing year reached 12.1 million tonnes, 2% ahead of last year and in line with the five-year average. USDA projects 2017/18 exports at 26.5 million tonnes, 8% below 2016/17. Hard red winter sales to Mexico rose 72%, and Texas Gulf port closures from Hurricane Harvey may affect future shipments.

## Why it matters

Solid export pace supports US wheat, though Gulf port disruption and a projected 8% export decline weigh on the outlook. Feed buyers should watch for Gulf logistics recovery.
