WHEAT PURCHASE: Egypt’s state grains buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), bought 420,000 tonnes of wheat in an international tender. The purchase included 60,000 tonnes of Ukrainian, 60,000 tonnes of Russian and 60,000 tonnes of Romanian-origin wheat for shipment March 5-15, and 120,000 tonnes of Ukrainian, 60,000 tonnes of Romanian and 60,000 tonnes of Russian-origin wheat for shipment March 16-26, GASC said.
