HAMBURG: Eight trading companies are believed to be taking part so far in the international tender from Jordan’s state grains buyer to purchase 120,000 metric tons of wheat which closed on Tuesday, traders said in initial assessments.

Participants were believed to be CHS, Cargill, Viterra, Cerealcom Dolj, Nestwise, Ameropa, Grain Star and MC Food, they said. No purchase has yet been made and results are expected later on Tuesday, traders said.
