Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture said it would import 380 tonnes of feed-quality wheat, and 7,560 tonnes of barley for livestock use, via a simultaneous buy and sell (SBS) auction that closed late on 22 Nov. The ministry had sought 120,000 MT of feed wheat and 200,000 MT of feed barley to be loaded by Jan. 31, 2018 and arrive in Japan by Feb. 28 in the tender that is usually conducted weekly. It is seeking the same amounts for each grain to be loaded and shipped during the same period in a similar tender that will be held on Nov. 29.
