HAMBURG- Jordan's state grain buyer the trade ministry is tendering to buy 120,000 tonnes of milling wheat which can be sourced from optional origins, European traders said on Thursday.

The tender closes on Aug. 19.

A new tender had been expected after Jordan made no purchase in its previous tender for 120,000 tonnes on Wednesday. GRA/TEND
