According to data from the US Department of Agriculture, for the week ending December 4, the net new sales volume of US corn in the 2025/2026 sales year was 1.478 million tons, and the export shipment volume for the week was 1.754 million tons. Up to this sales year, the cumulative export shipment volume of US corn has reached 21.413 million tons, with a total promised sales volume of 458.34 million tons. Demand from major buyers was strong. Mexico's net purchase volume for the week reached 665,000 tons, making it the largest buyer this year, with a cumulative promised sales volume of 15.918 million tons. The performance of Japan and Colombia was impressive. Japan made a net purchase of 231,000 tons in the week, with a cumulative promised sales volume of 6.60 million tons; Colombia made a net purchase of 231,000 tons during the week, with a cumulative promised sales volume of 3.464 million tons. Demand from South Korea is also strong, with a net purchase of 82,000 tons during the week and a cumulative sales commitment of 3.851 million tons. It is worth noting that Egypt added a net purchase of 106,000 tons this week, but no actual shipment has yet been made. For the 2026/2027 sales year, a small number of pre-sale commitments have been obtained, with Mexico reserving 804,000 tons and Japan reserving 25,000 tons, for a total of 829,000 tons. Despite solid overall sales data, large-scale sales cancellations under “unknown destinations” may suggest uncertainty or order transfers in part. The market needs to pay attention to the pace of subsequent procurement in major importers and the continuity of sales changes in “unknown destinations” to determine the actual popularity of global corn trade.
