Mexico could buy 30,000-50,000 tonnes Argentine wheat this week

BUENOS AIRES: Mexican companies could buy between 30,000 and 50,000 tonnes of Argentine wheat this week, as they test alternatives to US grain supplies, the executive president of Mexican wheat millers association Canimolt told Reuters.

"We hope to go back with a few ships firmed up," Canimolt President Jose Luis Fuente Pochat, who is in Buenos Aires on a trade mission, said in an interview. "30,000, 40,000, 50,000 tonnes would be very good for the tests we have to do."
