Recall that earlier (GASC) cancelled two previous wheat tenders against the new quality requirements in grain supplies. Egypt insisted on zero the contents of the ergot in the wheat supply, which is contrary to international standards trade reports Agro2b.ru with reference to Reuters. The allowable number of the content of ergot in wheat 0,05%.
The market situation worsened after the failure of the Ministry of agriculture of Egypt from 63 thousand tons of French wheat for delivery in December. The reason for the denial was the content of ergot in wheat, although its content was much lower than 0.05%.
After this incident, Egypt has not received more lucrative offers in the global tender to 1.02.16. The grain was offered at relatively high prices.
On the announced tender, gasc plans to purchase 60 thousand tons of milling wheat from USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Poland, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Romania.
