US exporters sell 111,264 tonnes corn to Mexico
Private exporters reported the sale of 111,264 tonnes of corn to Mexico for the 2007/08 marketing year, the US Agriculture Department said Thursday (August 9).
The marketing year for corn begins 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 the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
