apan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) bought a total of 89,260 metric tons of food-quality wheat from the United States and Canada in a regular tender that closed on Thursday.
Japan, the world’s sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of its second-most important staple after rice, buying a majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued three times a month.
