Jordan buys 100,000 tonnes feed barley in tender

HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has purchased 100,000 tonnes of animal feed barley to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender which closed on Tuesday, European traders said.

Some 50,000 tonnes was bought from Midgulf and 50,000 tonnes from GTCS, all at about $194.50 a tonne c&f.

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