CAIRO - Egypt's state grain buyer GASC is to permit trading houses offering to sell wheat in its international tenders to also offer prices to provide their own ocean transport for the grain, a document seen by Reuters shows on Wednesday.

The change will take place in GASC’s next international wheat tender, said a change to the GASC tender rule book.
