Second Ethiopia tender pushes wheat demand to 1m mt
Ethiopia’s government launched a second tender for milling wheat Tuesday, taking the outstanding volume it is looking to buy in March and April to 1 million mt.
The tender is scheduled to close on April 30, with shipment to take place in the two months following, a statement on the Public Procurement and Property Disposal Service (PPPDS) website said.
Last week PPPDS launched a separate tender to buy 400,000 mt of optional origin milling wheat, with that deal set to close on April 19.
Ethiopia is still suffering the effects of a prolonged drought that cut domestic production this year and issued the tenders to curb growing wheat shortages in the country.
