Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture said it has not received any offers for feed-quality wheat or barley in a simultaneous buy and sell (SBS) auction that closed late on June 13. The ministry had sought 120,000 tonnes of feed wheat and 200,000 tonnes of feed barley to be loaded by Sept. 28 and arrive in Japan by Nov. 30 in the tender that is usually conducted weekly. It is seeking similar quantity for each grain to be loaded and shipped during the same period in a tender that will be held on June 20. Japan buys and sells its feed wheat and barley via so-called SBS auctions, in which end-users and importers specify the origin, price and quantity of grain, allowing millers to meet their varied needs for the feed grain.
