Jordan issues tender to buy upto 120,000 metric tons of wheat

HAMBURG: Jordan’s state grain buyer has issued an international tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons of milling wheat which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Monday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is Tuesday, September 1.

A new announcement had been anticipated by traders after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for up to 120,000 tons of wheat last week. Shipment in the new tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in 60,000-ton consignments between October 1-15 and October 16-31. Jordan has also issued a separate tender to buy 120,000 tons of animal feed barley closing on September 2.
