Jordan gets one participant in 120,000 metric ton barley tender, traders say

HAMBURG, Oct 22 (Reuters) – Only one trading company is believed to be taking part so far in the international tender on Wednesday from Jordan’s state grains buyer to purchase up to 120,000 metric tons of animal feed barley, traders said. Participant was believed to be trading house Bunge. No purchase has yet been reported and results are expected later on Wednesday with a cancellation of the tender seen as likely because of the lack of participation, traders said. Bunge had also been the sole participant in a tender from Jordan for 120,000 tons of barley last week which was later cancelled without a purchase. Shipment in the tender is sought in a series of possible combinations in consignments of 50,000 to 60,000 tons between November 16-30 and December 1-15. (Reporting by Michael Hogan)
