Jordan makes no purchase in tender for 120,000 tonnes barley

HAMBURG/DUBAI: Jordan's state grains buyer made no purchase in an international tender to buy 120,000 tonnes of feed barley which closed on Wednesday, traders said.

Four trading companies took part: CHS, Soufflet, GTCS and Ameropa. A new tender is expected to be issued soon.

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