The cargo was to be delivered in the first half September. It was reported to have been purchased from Ameropa trading house at a cost and freight included of $229.50 per ton.

Traders reported that these other trading companies participated in the Wednesday's tender, with their estimated prices per ton C&F. They are: Dreyfus, CHS, Viterra, Al Dahra, Olam, and Farm Sense.
