U.S. #corn inspections fell short of expectations last week while soy was on the upper end of guesses. #Wheat on the lower end.

 Only 1 cargo of #soybeans to #China. Keep in mind for the YOY that corn was anomalously high last year and soy was extremely low.

U.S. export sales were as expected in old crop, but new crop sales were disappointing. Mexico cancelled new crop #corn, and #China bought negligible old #soybeans. Philippines was the top buyer in old #wheat, Japan and Thailand in new.

Here's the total sales for the current marketing year through April 16 and how that compares with last year:

USDA announces the sale of 272,000 tonnes of U.S. #soybeans to #China for delivery in 2019/20. 272,000 t of beans = 10 million bushels

#China's 2020 agriculture imports are mostly up from a year ago, except in barley. 

#Soybeans are +6% YOY but down 9% from 2018's record. 

#Sorghum way up since they had imported basically none a year ago.

 Huge #pork imports - for reference, China imported 1.2 mmt in all of 2018.
