U.S. corn being unloaded in China

For the first time in nearly 15 years, a load of U.S. corn is being unloaded in China. The U.S. Grains Council reports the ship carrying 55,000 metric tons (2.2 million bushels) of U.S. No.2 yellow corn, arrived at the Longkou Port in Shandong Province of China on Monday. Without delay, the vessel cleared customs and berthed for commencement of discharge Tuesday.

USGC marketing specialist Dan Keefe says everything seems to be flowing smoothly, “Samples were being drawn on a regular basis. There were no negative comments or observations made of the corn.” It should take about four days to unload the ship.

Another U.S. vessel of corn is scheduled to unload in July.
