The Ethiopian government has issued an international tender to buy about 80,000 tonnes of milling wheat, European traders said.


The tender deadline is Nov. 26. Finance for the purchase is being provided by the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), they said.


The latest tender is in addition to two separate tenders for a total 600,000 tonnes of wheat from Ethiopia which traders said on Monday had been postponed to Nov. 25 and Nov. 26.


Ethiopia is still struggling with the impact of drought which has devastated farms in some regions.
