HAMBURG: Jordan’s state grains buyer has issued a new international tender to purchase 120,000 tonnes of animal feed barley, European traders said on Monday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is Sept. 16.

A new tender had been anticipated after Jordan had made no purchase in its previous tender for 120,000 tonnes of barley on Sept. 9 in which three trading houses participated.
