Agrocorp wins Bangladesh's 50,000 tonne wheat tender

DHAKA: Trading house Agrocorp has won an international tender to supply 50,000 tonnes of wheat to Bangladesh after submitting the lowest offer of $267.98 a tonne liner out, two officials with the state grains buyer said on Monday.

Three others competed in the tender from the Directorate General of Food, Bangladesh's state grains purchasing agency, in which wheat with 12.5 percent protein content was sought for shipment 40 days after contract signing.

Agrocorp had offered wheat sourced from either the United States, Canada, Russia or Ukraine.

It could be the last tender for the state buyer for the financial year that ends June 30.
