Jordan tenders to buy 100,000 tonnes hard wheat

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has issued an international tender to purchase 100,000 tonnes of hard milling wheat which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Monday.

The tender closes on Dec. 10, they said. The wheat was sought in a range of shipment combinations in 50,000 tonne consignments between June 1 and July 31 2015, traders said.

The wheat should be sourced from the 2014 or 2015 crop years, they said.

In its last reported tender on Nov. 19, Jordan purchased 100,000 tonnes of optional-origin hard wheat after seeking offers for the same volume.
