Jordan issues tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons wheat, traders say

Business Recorder reported that Jordan's state grain buyer has put out a fresh international invitation to purchase as much as 120,000 metric tons of milling wheat, which may come from several origins. European traders passed on the news on Monday.

Price offers must be submitted by August 27. Traders had been anticipating a fresh call after the buyer secured 60,000 tons in an earlier round, held on August 18, that covered up to 120,000 tons. The earlier purchase of 60,000 tons equalled half of that round's upper limit.

The buyer is seeking delivery in 60,000-ton lots, with several combinations of shipment periods possible across October 1-15 and October 16-31. The report did not include any price levels or bid results.
