Tender deadline is Jan. 16.
A new tender had been expected after Jordan made no purchase in its previous barley tender on Jan. 10 when only three trading companies participated.
Jordan has struggled to purchase wheat and barley in tenders in past months after terms on specifications and payment were introduced, which reduced tender participation by international trading houses.
The country has also issued a separate tender for 120,000 tonnes of milling wheat, closing on Jan. 15, after it failed to buy wheat on Jan. 9.
The new barley tender seeks shipment in a range of possible combinations in 60,000-tonne consignments. Possible shipment periods are April 16-30, May 1-15 and May 16-31.
