After canceling a contract with a Pakistani company for 400,000 tonnes of wheat in late January, Ethiopia recently issued a re-tender for the same amount of milling wheat. Bids for the tender are due March 13. The report said the contract with the Pakistani company was annulled because the $10 million performance guarantee was not provided. Most Ethiopian wheat purchases in the past the contracted wheat likely will be sourced from the Black Sea region since it is generally the least expensive on the international market.
