Morocco's state grains agency ONICL has launched a tender to buy 170,000 tonnes of soft wheat from the local market, it said in a statement on Monday.
It is the second tender since the end of the import campaign which ran from January 1 to April 30, when the government suspended customs duties for soft wheat imports to counter rising world prices. The first tender was for 165,500 tonnes on June. ONICL will open the bids on July 16. The soft wheat is destined to make subsidised flour, ONICL added.
