Taiwan tenders for 45,200 tonnes wheat of U.S.-origin

Adds detail, shipment period

HAMBURG, Jan 6 (Reuters) – The Taiwan Flour Millers’ Association has issued an international tender to purchase 45,200 tonnes of grade 1 milling wheat to be sourced from the United States, European traders said on Friday.

The deadline for submission of price offers in the tender is Jan. 13.

The tender seeks a range of different wheat types in one consignment for shipment from the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast between March 8 and March 22.

Wheat types sought include dark northern spring, hard red winter and white wheat.

The association’s tenders traditionally provide an accurate snapshot of U.S. wheat export prices in Asian markets.
