CAIRO- Egypt's state grains buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), said on Tuesday it was seeking local soyoil and sunflower oil in a tender for arrival August 10-30.

GASC is seeking at least 3,000 tonnes of soyoil and 2,000 tonnes of sunflower oil. The deadline for offers is June 21.

GASC on Tuesday cancelled an international purchase tender for vegetable oils due to higher than expected prices.
