European traders reported on Monday 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 10.

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 50,000 and 60,000 tons in various combinations, from October 16-31 through November 1-15. November 16-30, December 1-15.

Jordan has also released a separate tender for the purchase of 120,000 tons milling wheat, which closes on September 9. (Reporting and editing by Kirby Donovan, Michael Hogan)
