The lowest price offered in the international tender from Tunisia's state grains agency on Thursday to purchase about 75,000 metric tons of soft wheat was believed to be $262.91 a ton cost and freight (c&f) included, European traders said.

Offers are still being considered and no purchase has yet been reported. The lowest offer is not always accepted if conditions attached to it are regarded as unattractive, Reuters reported.

The lowest offer was believed to have been submitted for optional-origin wheat by trading house Cargill for 25,000 tons, they said.

Cargill also made the next lowest offer of $263.91 also for 25,000 tons, they said.

Reports reflect assessments from traders and further estimates of prices and volumes are still possible later.

Shipment was requested between May 20 and June 30 depending on origin supplied.
