Ethiopia has issued a new international tender for the supply of 35,000 tons of milling wheat according to traders in Europe.

The deadline to offer bids for the invitation is the 29th of March. The tender did not specify the origin of the wheat but shipping is requested by the 7th of May said the traders.

Ethiopia is in the process of evaluating a previous tender for a similar purchase of 35,000 tons of wheat, which closed on the 15th of March. The deadline for the bids was extended at that time explained traders.

The purchase of the milling wheat tendered is being financed by international aid agencies in both instances according to the European Traders.
