HAMBURG: A group of South Korean flour mills bought an estimated 77,900 tonnes of milling wheat to be sourced from the United States and 27,900 tonnes of wheat from Canada in a tender, European traders said on Wednesday.
A range of different wheat types were bought by the mills for shipment in January and February 2021, they said.
The US purchase involved a consignment bought from trading house CHS with prices free on board (FOB) from the US Pacific Northwest coast for Jan. 1-31 shipment, traders said.
