HAMBURG, Dec 23 (Reuters) – Jordan’s state grain buyer has purchased about 60,000 tonnes of animal-feed barley to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender which closed on Thursday, traders said.
The barley was bought from trading house Agro-Chirnogi at an estimated $305.24 a tonne, cost and freight (c&f) included, for shipment in the first half of August 2022, the traders said.
The tender drew participation from four other merchants, with the following offers per tonne c&f reported by traders: ETG $312.69, Viterra $335, CHS $322.48 and Cargill $317.16.
Jordan had been seeking to purchase 120,000 tonnes in Thursday’s tender. A new tender is expected to be launched soon, traders said.
