The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply, floated a tender to purchase 120,000 tons of wheat to maintain the strategic reserves.
The ministry said on its official website that the deadline for bids is July 17th.
According to the ministry’s figures, Jordan consumes around 60,000 tons of wheat per month.
Jordan imports over 96 per cent of its wheat needs as domestic production covers only around 4 per cent of demand.
