USDA announces release dates for weekly export sales reports following the end of the partial government shutdown.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2019 – Due to the recent lapse in federal funding, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has not published a weekly export sales report since December 20, 2018. FAS has resumed daily reporting of export sales and will implement the following schedule to bring weekly reporting up to date:

  • The report for the week ending December 20, 2018 will be published Thursday, January 31, 2019.
  • The report for the week ending December 27, 2018, will be published February 7, 2019.
  • The report for the week ending January 3, 2019, which will include the marketing year changeover figures for hides and skins, wet blues, pork and beef, will be published February 14, 2019.
  • A combined report for the weeks ending January 10- February 14, 2019, will be published on February 22, 2019.

The regular reporting schedule will resume for the week ending February 22, 2019.
