HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has made no purchase in an international tender to buy up to 25,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed on Monday, European traders said.

A new tender for up to 25,000 tonnes of wheat has been issued closing on Dec. 26, they said.

The Middle Eastern importer has been struggling to import wheat and barley in past months after changed terms on quality control and payment were introduced which reduced participation by international trading houses.
