USGBC Releases the Corn Export Cargo Quality Report

USGBC Releases the Corn Export Cargo Quality ReportThe average aggregate quality of U.S. corn samples tested for the U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council’s 2025-2026 Corn Export Cargo Quality Report was better than or equal to U.S. No. 2 on all grade factors. “The Council’s report, now in its 15th edition, is a testament to the organization’s dedication and commitment to connecting international end users of feed grains and their co-products to U.S. farmers,” said Mark Wilson, USGBC chair. Broken corn and foreign material registered at 2.4 percent after moving through export channels, the lowest in the report’s 15-year history. Protein content was measured at 8.5 percent dry basis, similar to last year’s crop, and starch concentration was observed at 72.1 percent, higher than in 2024-2025. The report is based on 430 yellow commodity corn samples collected from export shipments as they underwent the inspection and grading processes performed by licensed inspectors.
