Turkey’s state grain board TMO has provisionally purchased an estimated 395,000 tonnes of wheat in an international tender for the same volume which closed on Wednesday, traders said.
The tonnages purchased and prices are provisional and still subject to final confirmation in coming days, they said.
Traders reported these purchases with port of unloading, volume in tonnes, protein content, seller and price in dollars a tonne c&f:
The red wheat was sought for shipment between July 19 and Aug. 21.
Traders said Turkey continues to have a large wheat import requirement, partly to supply its large flour exports.
