Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture bought 181,355 tonnes of food-quality wheat from the United States, Canada and Australia in a regular tender.
Japan, the world’s sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of the country’s second-most important staple after rice and buys the majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued thrice a month.
