HAMBURG - Jordan's state grain buyer has issued an international tender to buy up to 120,000 metric tons of milling wheat, which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Wednesday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is September 23.

A new announcement had been expected by traders after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for 120,000 tons of wheat on Tuesday in which four trading houses participated.

Shipment in the new tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in 60,000 ton consignments between November 1-15, November 16-30, December 1-15 and December 16-31.

Jordan has also issued a separate tender to buy 120,000 tons of animal feed barley, which closes on Wednesday.
