Japan offers to buy 143,396 tonnes food wheat via tender

Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture is seeking to buy a total of 143,396 tonnes of food-quality wheat from the United States, Canada and Australia in a regular tender that will close late on Thursday.

Japan, the world’s sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of the country’s second most important staple after rice and buys the majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued three times a month.
