During the 11-month period, American companies shipped $1.3 billion worth of grain to the EU, up from $523.5 million a year earlier. This represents a 2.5-fold year-on-year increase in export value.

Spain was the largest buyer of U.S. grain in the EU with imports totaling $741.7 million, followed by Italy at $212.9 million and Portugal at $194.5 million. Ireland ($98.1 million) and the Netherlands ($55.9 million) rounded out the top five.
