U.S. exports of Sorghum, Barley, and Oats (End-Use 00210) totaled $27.8M in August 2026, exported to 64 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataSorghum, barley, and oats are bulk coarse grains exported primarily as animal feed and malting inputs, with sorghum (also traded as milo) playing a particularly significant role in Asian feed markets. Export phytosanitary certificates and fumigation records are standard documentation requirements, and vessel freight logistics dominate landed-cost calculations for bulk grain buyers. Barley destined for malting commands a quality premium over feed-grade material, so buyers and exporters often negotiate specific moisture, protein, and germination specifications. Seasonal harvest timing in major US growing regions drives export availability windows for all three grains.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction imports are not shown for this slug.
Malting barley must meet strict germination rate, protein content, and moisture thresholds set by the importing maltster or national standard; feed-grade barley that fails these specifications is traded at a discount and typically moves under different contract terms, though both may fall within the same end-use export category.
Several major sorghum-importing countries impose their own maximum residue limits for pesticides and may require pre-shipment testing certificates in addition to the standard USDA APHIS phytosanitary certificate; exporters should verify destination-country requirements before contracting, as non-compliance can result in rejection or fumigation at the buyer's expense.
