A private Israeli importer has bought 20,000 metric tons of feed wheat and 10,000 tons feed barley at its tender Wednesday, traders said.

All of the quantity bought is for new-crop positions, with the barley due for shipment between July 20 and Aug. 10 and the wheat's shipment date unclear, possibly from July 20 to September, a trader said.

The tender had been issued on Monday for 20,000 tons of feed wheat and 20,000 tons of feed barley.
