Lebanon purchased several tens of thousands of tons of flour wheat of Ukrainian origin at a tender. Financing was provided by the World Bank.

According to market operators, the government of Lebanon contracted 63,000 tons of flour wheat originating from Ukraine, “APK-Inform” reports.

Grain was purchased at a price of $248/ton C&F in a batch of 57 thousand fast deliveries — 43 thousand tons with delivery in June and 6.5 thousand tons with delivery in July last year.

Another 6,000 tons were purchased at a price of $247/ton C&F with delivery in July.

Financing was provided by the World Bank as part of its ongoing wheat procurement program for Lebanon.
