An Ethiopian government agency is believed to have received only one offer in a tender to buy 400,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed on Tuesday.
Only one trading house is believed to have offered the full 400,000 tonnes at around $313 a tonne c&f.
In add, two trading houses were believed to have submitted offers in a separate tender for 30,000 tonnes of milling wheat which closed on April 15.
Participants in the 30,000 tonne tender were said to be Promising International and Falconbridge Resources.
However, no purchases were reported and offers are still being considered.
