Jordan Secures 60,000-Ton Wheat Purchase to Bolster National Reserves

Jordan has completed a procurement of 60,000 tons of wheat, sourced from commercial supplier CHS at a rate of $275.2 per ton inclusive of freight charges. The shipment is expected to arrive during the latter part of August 2026.

The transaction represents dealer assessments of current market conditions, with pricing and volume figures subject to revision as additional data becomes available, according to Reuters reporting.

Multiple suppliers competed in the bidding process. Cargill submitted a proposal at $279.9 per ton, Ameropa at $277.87 per ton, Olam at $276.5 per ton, and Dreyfus at $280 per ton—all figures encompassing delivery costs.

Market participants anticipate that Jordanian authorities will issue a follow-up tender within the coming days to acquire approximately 120,000 tons of additional wheat. That procurement round is scheduled for closure on June 15, with anticipated deliveries occurring during September and October 2026.
