Jordan tenders for 100,000 T wheat and 100,000 T barley

Published Updated

Deadline for the wheat tender is May 16 and deadline for the barley tender is May 17, they said.

The wheat and barley are both sought in a range of shipment possibilities in 50,000 tonne consignments between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, they said.

Both grains were sought from the 2016 or 2017 harvests.

Jordan has struggled to make purchases in a series of grain tenders in recent months, with traders saying uncertainty about new quality controls and payment terms had reduced participation by major grain exporting houses.

But recent tenders have been more successful, with a series of large wheat purchases made in February, March and April.

The country's last reported wheat purchase was 50,000 tonnes on April 6.
