WASHINGTON, July 10 - Private exporters reported the sale of 110,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans to China for delivery during the 2009/10 marketing year, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Friday.

The marketing year for soybeans began on Sept. 1. U.S. exporters must report any U.S. or optional origin export sales activity of at least 100,000 tonnes -- except 20,000 tonnes or more for soybean oil -- made in one day to a single destination by the following business day. Sales of smaller quantities must be reported weekly to the
USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
