HAMBURG: Jordan's state grains buyer has issued a new international tender to purchase 120,000 tonnes of animal feed barley, European traders said on Wednesday.

The tender deadline is March 23.

A new tender had been anticipated after Jordan cancelled its previous tender for 120,000 tonnes of barley on Tuesday after only one trading house participated.

Shipment in the new tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in 60,000-tonne consignments.

Possible shipment combinations are Oct. 1-15, Oct. 16-31, Nov. 1-15 and Nov. 16-30, the same periods as sought in Tuesday's tender.
