Bangladesh's ministry of agriculture has issued a new private-sector tender to buy DAP and TSP, closing on 27 November.
The ministry did not specify the total quantities sought but specified that each private importer can offer a maximum of 30,000t of TSP and 40,000t of DAP in the tender.
The cargoes offered under the tender are to be shipped by 30 December, and nominated importers must issue letters of credit within seven working days of receiving the work order.
The ministry closed a private-sector tender to buy DAP and TSP on 18 November and has probably awarded at least 40,000t of Moroccan DAP at $678.40/t cfr in the tender.
