HAMBURG- Iranian state agency the Government Trading Corporation (GTC) purchased an unknown volume of milling wheat in an international seeking about 60,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed last week, European traders said on Monday.

The GTC also has issued a new tender to buy 60,000 tonnes of milling wheat seeking shipment in July, August and September, they said.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the new tender is Wednesday, July 7. Volumes in Iran’s tenders are nominal and the country can buy more than the tonnage sought.
