HAMBURG: Pakistan’s state trading agency TCP has purchased an initial 30,000 metric tons of white sugar in an international tender seeking around 200,000 tons which closed last week, European traders said on Tuesday.
The validity of other price offers submitted in the tender has been extended until Wednesday, August 27, so more purchases are seen as possible, traders said.
