[Jordan Launches 120,000-Ton Wheat Tender, Igniting Food Trade War] ⑴ Jordan's National Grain Procurement Agency launched an international tender on Wednesday, planning to purchase up to 120,000 tons of milling wheat. ⑵ This tender allows for sourcing from select origins, providing suppliers with greater flexibility in choosing their sources. ⑶ The deadline for bids is set for November 4th, highlighting the urgency of the procurement. ⑷ This tender is a direct response to Tuesday's failed tender for 120,000 tons of wheat, demonstrating the country's urgent food needs. ⑸ The new tender requires shipments in batches, with 60,000 tons shipped in four separate periods between January 1st and February 28th, 2026. ⑹ The shipment schedule is identical to Tuesday's failed tender, indicating Jordan's adherence to its original supply timeline. ⑺ Jordan also launched a tender for 120,000 tons of feed barley at the same time, which will close on Wednesday. ⑻ These two large-scale grain purchases demonstrate Jordan's determination to ensure food security and will likely trigger fierce competition among international suppliers.
