The U.S. Grains Council released the 2024-2025 Corn Export Quality Report showing the average aggregate quality of U.S. corn samples tested was better than or equal to U.S. No. 2 on all grade factors. “It’s difficult to understate transparency’s role in building trust between business partners, and the Council seeks to make detailed, accurate information about the quality of U.S. corn available to buyers around the world and facilitate international trade,” says Verity Ulibarri, USGC Chairwoman. The report says the average test weight came in at 58.3 pounds per bushel and was higher than in 2023-2024 and the five-year average. Broken corn and foreign materials registered at 2.5 percent after moving through export channels, lower than the five-year average. All samples tested below the Food and Drug Administration’s action level for aflatoxins. The Council’s international offices will announce the results in a series of seminars for potential buyers.
