Tunisia Tenders To Buy 175,000 Tons Wheat

Tunisia's state run Office des Cereales issued a tender Tuesday to buy 175,000 metric tons optional origin wheat Wednesday, a European trader said.

Shipment for the seven cargos of 25,000 metric tons each is for mid-January to mid-April, he said.

In November, Tunisia bought four vessels of 25,000 tons each of optional origin wheat from Glencore between $167.39/ton and $169.89/ton and two vessels of 25,000 tons each of French wheat from Lecureur at $169.67/ton, all on a cost and freight basis.
