The USDA says pork export sales were up sharply during the week ending September 23rd. The total of 42,500 tons was 31% higher than the previous week, with Mexico and China combining for more than 80% of the week’s pork sales. Beef exports were up modestly, with Japan, South Korea, and China leading the way. Soybean, soybean product, cotton, and rice sales all showed week to week improvements, while corn and wheat sales declined. The USDA’s next set of supply and demand estimates is out October 12th.
