Pakistan's TCP Buys 100,000-150,000 MT Russian Wheat
 
State run Trading Corp. of Pakistan, or TCP, has bought between 100,000 to 150,000 metric tons of feed wheat from a Russian trade house, a European-based trader said Thursday.
 
The wheat was purchased at about $155/ton basis free-on-board, he said.
 
Earlier this month, the TCP said it would buy between 50,000 and 60,000 tons of wheat from Russia, Khazakstan or Ukraine to fill the shortfall in a planned purchased of one million tons.
