HAMBURG- A Syrian state purchasing agency has issued a new international tender to purchase 50,000 tonnes of soymeal and 50,000 tonnes of corn, European traders said on Thursday.
The tender from Syria's General Foreign Trade Organisation closes on Oct. 26, they said.
Four previous international tenders from the organisation also to buy 50,000 tonnes of soymeal and 50,000 tonnes of corn had been issued in April, May, June and July.
Traders said they were not aware of purchases from the previous tenders.
Yellow corn was sought. Offers must be submitted in euros.
Delivery of both the soymeal and corn was sought within four months of the supply contract being confirmed or following the opening of a letter of credit on the purchase.
