European traders reported on Thursday that Jordan's state grain buyer has issued an international tender for the purchase of up to 120,000 tons of animal feed barley.

The deadline to submit price bids in the tender is on Wednesday, July 16

Traders had expected a new announcement after Jordan failed to purchase 120,000 tons barley in its previous tender on Wednesday.

The new tender seeks to ship consignments between October 1-15 (or 16-31), November 1-15 or 16-30.

Jordan also announced a separate tender on Thursday to purchase up to 120,00 tons of wheat. (Reporting and editing by Susan Fenton, with Michael Hogan)
