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

Jordan's state grain buyer has put out a new international request for offers covering as much as 120,000 metric tons of wheat for milling, with the grain open to several origins, Business Recorder reported, citing European traders. Price offers must reach the buyer by September 22, and the announcement came on Wednesday.

Traders had expected a fresh notice after the buyer secured no wheat at its Tuesday tender for the same volume. Shipments are being requested in a set of possible combinations of 60,000-ton lots, with delivery windows running from October 16 through October 31 and from November 1 through November 15, identical to the earlier round.

Jordan has also put out a parallel request for 120,000 tons of barley meant for animal feed, closing Wednesday. The report gives no price levels for either tender, so the outcome of these purchases remains open.
