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

The deadline to submit price proposals in the tender is set for August 27.

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 released a separate tender for the purchase of up to 120,00 tons of wheat, which will close on 26 August. (Reporting and editing by Michael Hogan)
