Jordan issues tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons of wheat
HAMBURG: Jordan's state grain buyer has issued an international tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons of milling wheat that can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Thursday. The deadline for submission of price offers is June 17. Shipment in the tender is sought in a series of possible combinations of consignments of 50,000 to 60,000 tons between September 1-15, September 16-30, October 1-15 and October 16-31. In its last reported wheat tender on April 29, Jordan purchased about 60,000 tons. Jordan on Thursday also issued a separate tender to buy up to 120,000 tons of animal feed barley.

Algeria buys milling wheat in tender, traders say
HAMBURG/PARIS: Algeria's state grains agency OAIC has bought milling wheat in an international tender which closed on Wednesday, European traders said. Purchases were initially reported at around $244.50 a metric ton cost and freight (c&f) included, they said. The precise size of the purchase in tonnage terms was not initially clear. But preliminary trader estimates were of a large purchase of between 600,000 and 700,000 metric tons. Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later. The tender sought a nominal 50,000 metric tons but Algeria often buys considerably more than the indicative volume. Sellers can supply wheat from a range of approved origins. The wheat is sought for shipment in two periods from the main supply regions including Europe: July 1-15 and July 16-31. If sourced from South America or Australia, shipment is one month earlier. Algeria is a vital customer for wheat from the European Union, especially France, but Russian and other Black Sea region exporters have been expanding strongly in the Algerian market. Traders say a diplomatic rift between France and Algeria led the grains agency to tacitly exclude French wheat and trading companies from its purchase tenders, with relations between the two countries remaining tense.
