Jordanian traders claim that they have won a tender to purchase 120,000 metric tonnes of feed barley.
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 for submitting price offers is September 17.
The traders had expected a new announcement after Jordan's previous tender of 120,000 tons barley for which it purchased 60,000 tonnes on Wednesday.
The new tender seeks to ship consignments between 50,000 and 60,000 tons in various combinations, from November 1-15, 16-30 November, 1-15 December, 16-31 December.
Jordan has also released a separate tender for the purchase of 120,000 tons milling wheat, which closes on September 16. (Reporting and editing by Joe Bavier; Michael Hogan)
