USDA flash sales data shows private exporters sold about 1.73 million metric tons of corn for delivery to Mexico, of which roughly 1.14 million tons is for 2026/27 and 0.59 million for 2027/28. Separately, exporters sold 136,000 metric tons of soybeans for delivery to China in the 2026/27 marketing year.
Large forward corn sales to Mexico confirm steady structural demand for US corn, a modest supportive factor. The small soybean sale to China is a routine signal of Chinese buying pace, and it has limited impact on prices unless repeated.
