Jordan sells 50,000 tons of wheat at $150 a ton
Traders have cited limited selling interest of wheat and barley to Jordan as a result of stricter inspection and payment conditions.
Jordan’s Ministry of Trade and Industry sold a 50,000-ton cargo of wheat at $150 a ton, free-on-truck (FOT), traders said on Monday.
The wheat was purchased by Sarles company, traders said.
Jordan was seeking to sell a cargo of Polish wheat rejected in February by its quality control.
This was the third attempt by the ministry to sell the wheat after the supplier declined to re-export it.
The cargo is being sold for export only and the full volume should be shipped out of Jordan one month after the contract is signed.
