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.

November 12 is the deadline for pricing offers.

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 December 1-15, December 31, as well as January 1-15, and January 16-31.

The same shipping periods were sought in the tender on Wednesday.

Jordan also released a separate tender for the purchase of 120,000 tons milling wheat. The tender closes on 11 November. Michael Hogan (Reporting) Editing by David Goodman
