HAMBURG: Jordan’s state grains buyer purchased about 50,000 metric tons of hard milling wheat to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender on Tuesday, traders said.
It was believed to have been bought from Bulgarian trading house Buildcom at an estimated $265.25 a ton cost and freight included (c&f) for shipment in the first half of June, they said. Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later.
Traders said they received indications Jordan will issue a new tender in the coming days for 120,000 tons of wheat.
Offers are expected to be submitted on Feb. 4,
with shipment expected to be sought in various
combinations in the second half of April, full month
of May and first half of June.
Traders said other trading companies to participate in Tuesday’s tender, with offers per ton c&f, were: CHS $273, Viterra $278, Al Dahra $270, Cereal Crops $293.50 and Ameropa $270.87.
In its previous wheat tender on Jan. 21, Jordan purchased about 60,000 tons at an estimated $268 a ton c&f for shipment in the first half of April. A separate tender from Jordan seeking 120,000 tons of animal feed barley closes on Wednesday.
