Jordan bought 150,000 tons of wheat, including 50,000 tons from Russia, the Industry and Trade Ministry said Thursday.
The kingdom bought 50,000 tons of Russian wheat at $289.90 a ton, said Mohamad Malahmeh, head of the ministry's tenders department. The remaining quantity was bought at between $289.90 a ton and $290.90 a ton from other sources.
Egypt's main state wheat buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities, bought 180,000 tons of Russian wheat in a tender Thursday, GASC vice chairman Nomani Nomani told reporters in Cairo the same day. It was the country's first wheat purchase since Russia banned cereal sales in August.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
