Jordan’s State Procurement Agency (MIT) purchased 60,000 tonnes of food wheat of any origin in an international tender held after a two-month pause. The shipment is scheduled for delivery to Aqaba during the first half of October 2026. The winning bid came from CHS at $318.95/t C&F, $5/t below the nearest competing offer. Olam offered $324.5/t, Bunge $337/t and Cargill $339.7/t.
The purchase price was $44/t above MIT’s previous tender on 9 June, when CHS supplied 60,000 tonnes for delivery to Aqaba on 16-31 August at $275.2/t C&F. The June tender had planned to buy 120,000 tonnes but secured only half that volume.
Jordan’s tender provides a firm demand reference for wheat shipped into the eastern Mediterranean. The origin was unspecified, although the source expects the grain will most likely be sourced from the Black Sea or the European Union. The higher price may support regional export indications, but the article does not identify the winning origin or explain the price increase.
