A government agency in Pakistan has issued an international tender to purchase about 550,000 tonnes of wheat, European traders said on Friday.
The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender from the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) is Sept. 7.
The wheat would be shipped between Oct 1. and Nov. 30.
Offers are sought for consignments of a minimum 100,000 tonnes.
Pakistan has bought wheat regularly in the global market in recent months in an effort to boost domestic supply and cool prices.
