The USDA says the week ending March 30th was a solid week for meat export sales. Pork was a marketing year high at more than 53,000 tons, mainly to China and Mexico, while beef was up on the week at 13,500 tons. Soybean oil also hit a marketing year high and corn, wheat, and rice sales saw good week-to-week improvements, while soybeans, soybean meal, and cotton sales were down. Export demand is governed by several factors including currency trade and seasonal factors.
