CAIRO- The lowest offer presented at an Egyptian state international purchasing tender for vegetable oils on Tuesday was $1,133 per tonne for 10,000 tonnes of sunflower oil, traders said.

State grains buyer GASC also received the lowest offer of $1,185 per tonne for 30,000 tonnes of soyoil, the traders added.

GASC is seeking an unspecified quantity of vegetable oils in an international tender for arrival Sept. 5-30. It asked that suppliers present bids for payment at sight and use 180-day letters of credit and said it would choose between them.

The buyer is also seeking oils in a domestic tender for the same arrival period.

At its last international tender on June 8, GASC bought 60,000 tonnes of soyoil and 40,000 tonnes of sunflower oil. 

Traders gave the following breakdown of the offers in dollars per tonne in the international tender on a cost and freight (C&F) basis:

* ADM: 30,000 tonnes of soyoil at $1,188 for payment at sight and/or $1,197 for payment using 180-day LCs
