HAMBURG: Jordan's state grains buyer purchased 60,000 tonnes of hard milling wheat to be sourced from optional origins in a tender for up to 120,000 tonnes which closed on Wednesday, traders said.

It was bought at $239.30 a tonne c&f for shipment in the first half of April 2020, from trading house CHS, they said.

Other participants in the tender were Nibulon which offered $242 a tonne c&f and GP Global which offered $250 a tonne c&f , they said.

In recent months, Jordan has struggled to buy wheat and barley in tenders after changed terms for quality specifications and payment reduced participation by international trading houses. But some recent tenders have been more successful.
