CAIRO- The lowest offer presented on Thursday at an Egyptian state tender for wheat was $206.95 per tonne for 60,000 tonnes of Russian grain, traders said.
The offer was presented by Hakan.
Egypt's state grains buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC,) is in the market for an unspecified amount of wheat from global suppliers for shipment from July 25-Aug. 5 for payment at sight.
Russian wheat was also offered lowest in GASC's most recent tender on June 10 when it bought 120,000 tonnes of the grain for shipment July 12-22.
The Russian agriculture ministry had said on Tuesday that the country's grain exports would not be subjected to any quotas from July to December but that it planned to impose quotas in the second half of the season running from January to June 2021.
No purchase has yet been made and results are expected later on Thursday.
