Ethiopia's state grain agency has requested that the offers for the international tender for the purchase of 400,000 tons of wheat be maintained for a longer period. Originally, the offer period ended on 13 March and delivery should be two months later. It turned out that the originally cheapest offer did not meet the tendering conditions. It was $ 250.15 / ton c & f for delivery to an Ethiopian port. The prices should include the transport inland. The lowest bid that met the tender conditions was $ 269.00 / ton c & f.
