HAMBURG: Tunisia's state grains agency has issued an international tender to purchase some 92,000 tonnes of soft milling wheat and 25,000 tonnes of feed barley, European traders said on Tuesday.
The origin was optional. Tender deadline is Wednesday, June 14, they said.
The wheat was sought in three consignments of 25,000 tonnes and one of 17,000 tonnes.
If sourced from Europe or the Black Sea region, shipment was sought for Aug. 20 to Oct. 10. Shipment periods from other origins differ, they said.
The barley was sought in a single 25,000 tonne consignment for July 15 to Aug. 5 shipment depending on origin.
Chicago wheat futures fell 2.6 percent on Monday on optimistic harvest forecasts in the United States and forecasts of more rain. But prices rose 1.3 percent again early on Tuesday on concern about the poor condition of the US spring wheat crop.
