HAMBURG: The ‌lowest price offered in a tender from Tunisian state grains agency ONF on Wednesday to purchase around 27,000 metric tons of animal feed corn was believed to be $267.09 per ton, cost and freight (c&f) included, European traders said.
No purchase has ‌yet been ‌reported and offers ‌are ⁠still being considered, the ⁠traders said. The offer was said to have been submitted by trading house Ameropa, with seven other trading houses also participating in the tender.
Reports ⁠reflect assessments from traders ‌and ‌further estimates of prices and volumes are ‌still possible later.
The corn ‌is sought in one consignment. Shipment was sought between May 15-30 if sourced from the Mediterranean ‌region, east Europe or the Black Sea region and between ⁠May ⁠10-25 if sourced from west Europe.
If sourced from the United States, Brazil or Argentina, shipment is sought between May 5-20.
A previous tender which closed on Friday from Tunisia for 25,000 tons of feed corn also for May shipment ended without a purchase, traders said.
