Jordan's state grain buyer purchased about 50,000 metric tons of animal feed barley in an international tender on Wednesday, European traders said.
The barley was said to have been bought from trading house Soufflet at an estimated $302.25 a ton cost and freight (c&f) included to be shipped in the first half of February, 2027.
Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later.
Traders said these other trading houses participated in Wednesday's tender with their estimated price offers per ton c&f: Al Ghurair $305.95, Bunge $309, Dreyfus $311 and Olam $308.95.
Traders said a new tender seeking 120,000 tons of feed barley is expected to be issued by Jordan in the coming days and is anticipated to close on October 28.
Traders said the new tender is expected to seek the same shipment periods as Wednesday's tender in various combinations in 50,000 to 60,000-ton consignments in 2027 between January 1 and 15, January 16 and 31, February 1 and 14 plus February 15 and 28.
In its previous barley tender on October 14, Jordan purchased about 60,000 tons at $307.00 a ton c&f to be shipped in the second half of January 2027.
