Jordan makes no purchase in 100,000 T barley tender

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer made no purchase in an international tender for 100,000 tonnes of feed barley which closed on Wednesday, European traders said.

A new tender is expected to be issued soon, they said. Jordan had also made no purchase in a tender on Tuesday for 100,000 tonnes of wheat and then issued a new wheat tender on Wednesday.

Jordan has struggled to make purchases in a series of wheat and barley tenders in recent months, with traders saying uncertainty about new quality controls and payment terms had reduced participation by major grain exporting houses.
