NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — U.S. corn and soybean export patterns in 2025 show how market diversification can either drive growth or reduce damage when demand shifts. Analysis from Purdue University finds that corn exports are expanding despite weakness among traditional buyers, while soybean exports declined but avoided a sharper collapse because sales were spread across more destinations. USDA export data through October show soybean shipments trailing 2024 levels, with total exports projected near 44.5 million metric tons, down about 13 percent year over year. Corn exports tell a different story. Even with reduced purchases from Mexico, Japan, and Colombia, total U.S. corn exports are projected to be near 78 million metric tons, up roughly 8 percent from 2024.
