According to traders, four trading companies have so far participated in the international bid of Jordan's state grain buyer for up to 120,000 tons animal feed barley to be purchased on Wednesday.

Trading houses believed to have participated so far are Viterra, Bunge and Al Dahra. Traders said that no purchase has been made yet and the results will be expected later on Wednesday.

The tender seeks to ship a number of combinations of 50,000-60,000 ton consignments during the second half December 2024 and the first and second halves of January 2025.

Jordan did not purchase barley in its previous bid for 120,000 tonnes of barley on September 19. Michael Hogan reports.
