Jordan buys 60,000 tonnes hard wheat in tender

HAMBURG/DUBAI: Jordan's state grains buyer purchased 60,000 tonnes of hard milling wheat in a tender for up to 120,000 tonnes which closed on Thursday, European traders said.

It was bought at $267.15 a tonne c&f for shipment in the second half of September. Seller was trading house Ameropa.

One other trading house, Cerealcom Dolj, also took part in the tender.

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