Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) is seeking to buy a total of 81,442 metric tons of food-quality wheat from the United States and Canada in a regular tender that will close late on Thursday.
Japan, the world’s sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of the country’s second most important staple after rice and buys the majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued three times a month.
Details are as follows (in metric tons):
| COUNTRY | TYPE | QUANTITY | |
| U.S. | Dark Northern Spring(protein minimum 14.0 pct) | 11,851 | * |
| U.S. | Western White | 13,781 | * |

| Canada | Western Red Spring(protein minimum 13.5 pct) | 27,880 | * |
