Tunisia tenders to buy 79,500 metric tons of feed corn, traders say

Business Recorder, citing European traders, reported on Friday that Tunisian state agency ONF has launched an international tender to buy roughly 79,500 metric tons of feed corn. Offers on the grain may come from several origins, a point Tunisia restated in the announcement. Price offers must be submitted by the same day, Friday, August 21.

The corn is wanted in three consignments, with shipment windows running from September 15 to October 25 depending on the origin supplied. Under the terms, sellers of Black Sea grain cannot rely on force majeure in any situation linked to the ongoing conflict and must instead offer grain from alternative origins. Traders relayed these conditions from the tender announcement, which spells out how Black Sea supply must be handled.
