Tunisia tenders to buy about 50,000 metric tons durum wheat

Tunisia’s state grains agency has issued an international tender to purchase about 50,000 metric tons of durum wheat, European traders said on Wednesday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is Thursday, April 4.

The tender sought the durum in two 25,000 ton consignments for shipment between April 25 and May 20, depending on origins supplied.

In its last reported durum tender on Feb. 7, Tunisia’s state grains agency purchased about 100,000 tons at a lowest price of $414.68 per ton cost and freight (c&f) included.

Durum importers have faced tighter supplies after a drought in top supplier Canada but greater sales by Turkey have helped fill the gap.
