Jordan tenders again to buy 100,000 tonnes wheat

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grains buyer has again issued an international tender to purchase 100,000 tonnes of hard milling wheat which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Wednesday.

The tender closes on May 30, they said.

A new tender had been expected after Jordan made no purchase in a previous tender for 100,000 tonnes of wheat on Tuesday. Jordan also made no purchase in a tender for 100,000 tonnes on May 16.

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