HAMBURG: Pakistan's state agency the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) has issued a new international tender to purchase 50,000 tonnes of white sugar, European traders said on Monday.
The deadline for submission of price offers is Oct. 6.
The Pakistani government in 2020 approved sugar imports to meet a shortage as production fell below consumption levels.
The TCP has issued a series of tenders in recent months.
Tarin for allowing import of 50,000MT of sugar despite opposition
No purchase has yet been reported in the TCP's previous tender for 50,000 tonnes of sugar which closed on Sept. 29.
Specifications in the new tender have been changed to medium to fine grade granular sugar which should open up more possible supply origins, traders said.
Rapid shipment is again sought in the new tender with shipment of the first 25,000 tonnes being undertaken in only 15 days plus voyage time after contract award. All the sugar must arrive in Pakistan by Nov. 10.
The sugar is sought from worldwide origins packed in bags.
