HAMBURG: Tunisia's state grains agency has issued an international tender to purchase some 67,000 tonnes of soft milling wheat, European traders said on Monday.

The origin was optional. The tender deadline is Oct. 6, they said.

The wheat was sought in two consignments of 25,000 tonnes and one of 17,000 tonnes for shipment in 2020, between Oct. 25 and Nov. 25, depending on origin selected.

In its last reported soft wheat tender on Sept. 18, the Tunisian agency made no purchase of up to 42,000 tonnes sought because of high prices.
