DG Food issues another tender to buy 50,000 T wheat

The Directorate General of Food (DG Food) of Bangladesh under the Ministry of Food has issued an international tender to purchase 50,000 metric tons of milling wheat, sources in the Ministry said on Monday.

The deadline for the submission of price offers is Nov. 25, they said.

A previous tender from Bangladesh for 50,000 tons of wheat closed on Nov. 7, with price offers still being considered and no purchase yet reported.
Bangladesh has been active in wheat and rice import markets in past weeks after floods in the country destroyed an estimated 1.1 million tons of rice.

Floods brought by heavy monsoon rains and torrential upstream runoff struck the country in two major waves in August and October, claiming at least 75 lives and affecting millions, particularly in the eastern and northern regions where crop damage has been the most severe.
