Japan seeks 115,059 tonnes of food wheat via tender

Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture sought 115,059 tonnes of food-quality wheat from the United States, Canada and Australia in a regular tender.

Japan, the world’s sixth-largest 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.
