These 12 ships have a total of 767,900 tons of grain, of which 478,500 tons is to be shipped to China, which has 410,000 tons of corn, 68,000 tons of sorghum. Other ships’ destinations are Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Jordan, Djibouti, loaded with corn, sorghum, soybeans, wheat and other grains.
