HAMBURG- Iranian state-owned animal feed importer SLAL is believed to have purchased animal feed corn, feed barley and soymeal in an international tender which closed on Wednesday, European traders said on Friday.

The volume bought was unclear but initial trader estimates were purchases of about 120,000 tonnes of feed barley, 120,000 tonnes of feed corn and 180,000 tonnes of soymeal.

The tender had sought 60,000 tonnes of each commodity.
