RIYADH: The Saudi Grains Organization has completed the procedures for the third tender of imported wheat for 2022 from Europe, North and South America and Australia.
A total of 495,000 tons of wheat will arrive during November 2022 and January aboard eight ships on different Saudi ports including the Jeddah Islamic Port, Yanbu Commercial Port and King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, according to a statement.
SAGO did not identify the entities awarded the contract for the final batch.
SAGO Gov. Ahmad Al-Fares said the Kingdom’s ports continue to receive wheat shipments according to the approved supply schedules.
A week earlier, the organization awarded the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co., also known as SALIC, a contract to import 300,000 tons of wheat between November 2022 and January 2023.
