European traders reported that the Tunisian state grain agency purchased around 100,000 metric tonnes of soft wheat from origins other than Tunisia in a Friday international tender.

The 75,000 tonnes sought in the tender was exceeded.

Grain Star, a trading house, sold two consignments of 25,000 tons at a cost per ton estimated to be $243.00. Freight included was also included.

Raya sold another 25,000 tonnes at $248.27 per ton C&F and Buildcom sold 25,000 tonnes at $243.77 per ton C&F.

The reports reflect the opinions of traders, and it is still possible to estimate prices and volume later.

The tender requested shipment between July 1 and 10 August depending on the origin provided. Michael Hogan reports.
