US exporters sell corn to Iran for 2007/08
Private exporters reported the sale of 240,000 tonnes of corn to Iran for the 2007/08 marketing year, the US Agriculture Department said Thursday (August 16).
The marketing year for corn began on Sept. 1.
US exporters must report any US or optional origin export sales activity of at least 100,000 tonnes -- except 20,000 tonnes or more for soybean oil -- made in one day to a single destination by the following business day. Sales of smaller quantities must be reported weekly to USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
