Tunisia’s state grains agency is believed to have purchased about 100,000 metric tons of durum wheat in an international tender on Wednesday, European traders said.
Three 25,000-ton consignments were bought from trading house Casillo at $414.68, $415.49 and $417.42 all a ton cost and freight (c&f) included, traders said.
Another 25,000 tons was bought from EuroAgricola at $415.00 a ton c&f, they said.
The durum was sought in four 25,000-ton consignments for shipment between March 5 and April 15, depending on origin supplied. Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later.
In its last durum tender on Jan. 17, Tunisia bought 50,000 tons at $444.89 and $446.49 a ton c&f.
