HAMBURG- Jordan's state grain buyer has made no purchase in an international tender to buy 120,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed on Wednesday, traders said.

Only two trading companies, Cerealcom Dolj and Ameropa, participated.

A new tender is expected to be issued soon.

In recent months, Jordan has struggled to buy wheat and barley in tenders after new terms for specification and payment reduced participation by international trading houses.
