🇩🇿 Algeria buys milling wheat in international tender

Algeria’s state grains agency OAIC purchased milling wheat in an international tender, according to European traders.

📌 Key details:

• Buyer: OAIC, Algeria
• Commodity: milling wheat
• Initial reported price: around $321/tonne C&F
• Volume: not initially confirmed

Traders said Romanian and Bulgarian wheat are expected to be among the main supply sources, while wheat from northern EU origins is also considered possible.

🚢 Shipment periods from main supply regions, including Europe:

• November 1–15
• November 16–30

If sourced from South America, India or Australia, shipment is scheduled one month earlier.

The tender came amid severe disruption to Black Sea grain flows, with traders reporting that shipborne exports of lower-priced Russian and Ukrainian wheat had virtually stopped because of the fighting.

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

📊 In Algeria’s previous soft wheat tender on August 5, OAIC bought up to 720,000 tonnes at around $289–290/tonne C&F.
