Jordan tenders again to buy 100,000 tonnes wheat

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

The tender closes on May 2.

Jordan made no purchase in a previous tender for 100,000 tonnes of wheat on Wednesday in which only one trading house participated.

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