HAMBURG, June 15 (Reuters) - Jordan's state grain buyer has purchased about 60,000 tonnes of animal feed barley to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender which closed on Wednesday, traders said.
It was bought at an estimated $428.50 a tonne c&f for shipment in the first half of September. The seller was believed to be trading house Viterra.
Four other trading houses participated in the tender, Ameropa which offered $439.00, TOI Commodities which offered $442.00, Bunge $444.00 and Cargill $449.85, all per tonne c&f.
Jordans tender sought offers for up to 120,000 tonnes. Jordan also bought 60,000 tonnes of wheat in a tender on Tuesday. GRA/TEND
