Jordan makes no purchase in tender for 100,000 T wheat

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has made no purchase in an international tender to buy 100,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed on Tuesday, European traders said.

A new tender is expected to be issued closing on May 30, they said. Price offers were not immediately disclosed.

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

Jordan had also made no purchase in its previous tender for 100,000 tonnes of wheat on May 16.
