United States Exports of Corn To World Total (2024-2025)

This chart compares U.S. corn exports to the world from January through June in 2024 (blue) and 2025 (gold). In 2024, exports rose gradually from January, peaking in April before softening in May and June. In contrast, 2025 exports started at higher levels across all months, with strong peaks in March and April. For purchasers, the higher 2025 export volumes may indicate stronger international demand, potentially tightening domestic availability and raising procurement costs. Nutritionists may want to monitor how sustained high export activity influences ingredient pricing and formulation budgets. Trade competitiveness, shipping capacity, and global feed grain demand likely contributed to the stronger 2025 figures. If this pace continues, buyers may need to weigh forward contracts more carefully to secure supply. Will sustained export strength in 2025 increase pricing pressure for domestic buyers? Could nutritionists begin exploring partial substitutions if corn prices continue to reflect tighter availability?
