Jordan buys 50,000 T feed barley in tender

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has purchased 50,000 tonnes of animal feed barley to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender which closed on Tuesday, European traders said.

It was bought at $209.90 a tonne c&f for shipment in the second half of June 2018.

Seller was trading house Ameropa.

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.

But some recent tenders have been more successful.

Jordan has a separate tender to purchase 100,000 tonnes of wheat closing on Wednesday.
