Corn and soybean export inspections declined last week, while wheat inspections improved, according to the latest report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. USDA says 1.54 million metric tons of corn were inspected for export during the week ending July 9, down from the previous week but still above the same week last year. Soybean inspections fell to 418,592 metric tons, although they remained well ahead of year-ago levels. Wheat inspections climbed to 373,611 metric tons from the previous week but trailed the volume inspected during the same week in 2025. For the marketing year, corn export inspections now total 72.2 million metric tons, up sharply from 57.8 million a year ago. Soybean inspections stand at 38.3 million metric tons, down from last year, while wheat inspections since June 1 total 1.89 million metric tons, compared to 2.29 million tons during the same period in 2025.
