The state grain buyer of Jordan has announced an international tender for up to 120,000 tons of milling-wheat that can come from optional origins.

The deadline to submit price proposals in the tender is November 4, 2018.

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

The new tender seeks to ship 60,000 tons of consignments between January 1-15. January 16-31. February 1-15. and February 16-18.

The same shipping periods as those sought in the tender of Tuesday.

Jordan has also released a separate tender for the purchase of 120,000 tons animal feed barley, which closes this Wednesday. (Reporting and editing by Bernadettebaum, Bernadette Hogan)
