U.S. Sorghum Producers Keeping up with Chinese Market
USAgNet - 02/19/2018
National Sorghum Producers continued steps to respond to the announcement of anti-dumping and countervailing duties investigations into imports of U.S. sorghum by the Chinese government. Our partners and stakeholders across the industry are working
closely together to demonstrate that U.S. sorghum is not dumped into China, it is not unfairly subsidized and is not injuring China.
Meanwhile, it is important our producers know trade with China and other countries continues. This week's export report shows exports remaining strong with China committing to purchase 4.6 million bushels of sorghum. Japan also committed to purchase
421,239 bushels to bring the weekly total to just under 5.0 million bushels.
Total commitments for the marketing year now stand at 212 million bushels, including 204 million bushels of commitments from China. Shipments were also strong with China taking delivery of 4.8 million bushels and Japan taking delivery of 303,962 bushels
shipped from the Pacific Northwest. Basis has recovered from recent shocks driven by trade concerns.
