Turkey's Barley Import Tender Receives Lowest Bulk Bid of $234.9/ton: (1) Turkey's National Grain Authority (TMO) launched a tender today for 225,000 tons of feed barley imports. The lowest bid in the first round was $234.9/ton (cost and freight), submitted by trader Danem for a 25,000-ton cargo destined for the port of İskenderun. (2) The tender attracted strong participation, with new-crop barley from the Black Sea region being the primary source of supply, with multiple bids significantly below $240. The cargo must be shipped in batches of 5,000 tons between August 8 and 29. (3) Turkey's barley and other grain harvests are expected to fall short of expectations this year, necessitating imports to stabilize prices and ensure supply. Final procurement results are expected to be announced later today.
