Tunisia's state-run Office Des Cereales said Monday (May 28) that it bought 90,000   tonnes of soft milling wheat for shipment during June, on a cost and freight basis.

The wheat is of optional origin and was bought in a tender that closed Thursday at the price of US$248.89 a tonne, an official at the office told Dow Jones Newswires.
