The U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council says the quality of U.S. corn exports remains strong in its latest Corn Export Cargo Quality Report. The analysis shows the average aggregate quality of corn samples met or exceeded U.S. No. 2 grade standards across all measured factors. Council Chair Mark Wilson says the report highlights the industry’s commitment to delivering a reliable product to global buyers. One key metric, broken corn and foreign material, came in at 2.4 percent after export handling, the lowest level recorded in the report’s 15-year history. The report also found protein content at 8.5 percent on a dry basis, similar to last year, while starch levels increased to 72.1 percent compared to the previous marketing year. The findings are based on 430 yellow corn samples collected during export inspections, reinforcing the consistency and quality of U.S. corn in global markets.
