🇩🇿 Algeria tenders for nominal 50,000 tonnes of soft milling wheat

Algeria’s state grains agency OAIC issued an international tender to purchase soft milling wheat from optional origins, according to European traders.

📌 Key details:

• Buyer: OAIC, Algeria
• Commodity: soft milling wheat
• Nominal volume: 50,000 tonnes
• Origin: optional origins
• Price offer deadline: September 15
• Offer validity: until September 16

🚢 Shipment periods:

• Main supply regions, including Europe: November 1–15 and November 16–30
• South America, India or Australia: one month earlier

Although the tender seeks a nominal 50,000 tonnes, Algeria often purchases significantly larger volumes than initially indicated.

🌍 Algeria remains one of the world’s largest wheat importers. The country has traditionally been an important destination for EU wheat, particularly from France, while Russia and other Black Sea exporters have expanded their presence in the Algerian market.

French wheat has been excluded from recent tenders amid political tensions between France and Algeria.
