Big week for pork, soybean export sales
Pork export sales hit a marketing year high last week. The USDA says the total for the week ending October 1st of 60,200 tons were up more than 50% from the four-week average, with China buying 29,000 tons, a possible sign of significant demand improvement as Germany remains out of the export market because of an African swine fever outbreak in wild boars. China also bought more than 4,000 tons of U.S. beef, more than 1.5 million tons of U.S. soybeans, more than 215,000 tons of U.S. sorghum, and more than 25,000 bales of U.S. cotton. Wheat sales were up on the week, corn was down, and rice hit a new marketing year high for the second week in a row. The next export sales report is out on the 16th, delayed a day by Columbus Day.
