Latest USGC Findings Confirm Top-grade Corn Quality
The 2024/2025 Corn Export Cargo Quality Report by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) presents a promising outlook on U.S. corn exports, surpassing the standard quality levels.
Verity Ulibarri, USGC Chairwoman, highlighted the critical role of the report in international trade, stating, “It’s difficult to understate the role of transparency in building trust between business partners." This document complements the earlier Corn Harvest Quality Report, together offering a comprehensive analysis from harvest to export.
With samples from 425 export shipments undergoing rigorous inspection, the report showcases U.S. corn's robust quality, meeting or exceeding the stringent U.S. No. 2 grade.
This year’s corn benefitted from optimal growing and harvesting conditions, resulting in record yields and maintaining quality with an average test weight of 58.3 pounds per bushel and minimal presence of broken corn and foreign material.
