Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture said it received no offers of feed-quality wheat or barley in a simultaneous buy and sell (SBS) auction that closed late on Wednesday. The ministry had sought 120,000 tonnes of feed wheat and 200,000 tonnes of feed barley to be loaded by Sept. 30 or arrive in Japan by Nov. 28 in the tender that is usually conducted weekly. It is seeking the same amounts of each grain to be loaded by Sept. 30 or arrive in Japan by Nov. 28 in a similar tender that will be held on June 25. Japan buys a small portion of feed wheat and barley via so-called SBS auctions in which end-users and importers specify the origin, price and quantity of grain, allowing millers to meet their varied needs for the feed grain.
