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 an international tender seeking wheat for milling, with volumes reaching up to 120,000 metric tons. According to European traders who spoke on Wednesday, the grain can come from optional origins.

Price offers for the tender are due by October 20. The earlier invitation, issued on Tuesday, sought a maximum of 120,000 tons of wheat but produced no purchase, which led traders to anticipate a fresh announcement.

The details come from European traders rather than an official statement from the Jordanian buyer, so the figures are as they were reported. For readers tracking grain markets, the sequence of a tender with no purchase followed by a new call is the main point of this report.
