wheat 400BAGHDAD: Iraq has issued a tender for at least 50,000 tonnes of wheat from any origin, with a closing date of Sept. 16, a source at the Iraqi trade ministry said on Thursday.

Offers should be valid until Sept. 20, the source said.

Iraq is one of the world's largest importers of wheat, much of which goes to supply a massive national food ration programme.
