Tenders for wheat issued
KARACHI, May 16: The Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) said on Friday it has issued two separate tenders to import a total of 250,000 tons of wheat to boost buffer stocks.
Tenders have been issued separately for 175,000 tons and
75,000 tons, and bids from foreign suppliers will be received by June 7 and opened the same day, the corporation said.
This week, the government raised its wheat import target to
2.5 million tons from 1.5 million tons, to build strategic reserves.—Reuters
