The export market for U.S. grain sorghum is red hot.

According to data from the USDA, for the week that ended December 18th, sales of sorghum abroad totaled nearly 600-thousand metric tons. That’s the largest weekly export total for sorghum since 1995 and the second largest total on records dating back to 1990.

China surpassed Mexico in the past season as the biggest buyer of U.S. sorghum.
