Jordan's state grain buyer has purchased 60,000 tonnes of animal feed barley to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender for up to 120,000 which closed on Wednesday, traders said. It was bought at $261 a tonne c&f for shipment in the first half of November. Seller was trading house GTCS. Five trading companies participated in the tender.
The other offers per tonne c&f were: Aston $263.95, Ameropa $267, Bunge $268 and Nibulon $268. Jordan has struggled to make purchases in a series of wheat and barley tenders in recent months, with traders saying uncertainty about new quality controls and payment terms had reduced participation by major grain exporting houses.
