Tunisia's Office des céréales has launched an international tender seeking to procure around 79,500 metric tons of feed corn, according to European traders citing Reuters. The deadline for submitting bids is set for Friday.

The corn is scheduled for delivery in three separate shipments, with arrival dates ranging from September 15 to October 25, 2026. The exact delivery timelines will depend on the origin of the purchased grain.

Traders noted that Tunisia has maintained provisions from previous tenders in this latest call. Notably, the tender allows for cereals to be sourced from suppliers' choice of origin. This clause is significant as it requires suppliers from the Black Sea region to secure alternative sources and fulfill their contracts, even if they invoke force majeure due to the ongoing conflict.
