ABU DHABI/HAMBURG: Egypt's state grain buyer GASC said it cancelled a purchase tender for wheat on Wednesday after receiving only one offer.

Suppliers shunned GASC earlier on Wednesday after it changed its specifications, asking for wheat free of ergot with only Venus presenting an offer for Ukranian wheat.
