Syria’s state procurement agency has cancelled a tender for 200,000 tonnes of wheat after the September 15 bid deadline. A new tender is expected soon as the country seeks imports to cover domestic shortages. Earlier in March, Syria purchased 100,000 tonnes of Black Sea wheat amid growing food crisis risks.
