TOKYO, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) is looking to buy a total of 115,035 metric tons of food-quality wheat from the United States, Canada and Australia in a regular tender that will close 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.
