Jordan gets 11 participants in 120,000 tonne barley tender

HAMBURG: Some 11 trading companies are participating in the international tender from Jordan on Wednesday to buy 120,000 tonnes of barley, traders said.

This was seen as a normal participation level following several months in which global trading houses have been unwilling to take part in tenders after changes to quality and payment rules.

Participants are said to be GTCS, Ameropa, Olam, Aston, Glencore, Bunge, Hakan, Cofco, CHS, Soufflet and Sierentz, traders said.

No purchase has yet been reported and results are expected later on Wednesday.
