HAMBURG: Iraq's state grains board has postponed an international tender to purchase a nominal 50,000 tonnes of wheat until next week because of the Eid-ul-Azha religious holiday, European traders said on Thursday.

The tender had closed on Sunday, Oct. 21, and offers had to remain valid until Wednesday, Oct. 24.
