HAMBURG- Jordan's state grains buyer has issued a new international tender to purchase 120,000 tonnes of animal feed barley, European traders said on Thursday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is Feb. 8.

A new announcement had been expected by traders after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for barley on Wednesday in which three trading houses participated. 

Shipment in the new tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in 60,000 tonne consignments.

Possible shipment combinations are between July 1-15, July 16-31, Aug. 1-15 and Aug. 16-31.
