RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has issued an international tender to purchase around 300,000 tonnes of hard milling wheat, according to the Kingdom’s General Food Security Authority.
The announcement marks the sixth and final tender for wheat imports in 2025, with delivery scheduled between February and April 2026.
The move aligns with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to ensure the availability and price stability of food supplies across the Kingdom, and is part of a broader strategy to strengthen food security through diversified sourcing channels.
Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al-Faris, chairman of the GFSA, said that the tendered quantity “is part of the authority’s strategic plans to maintain wheat stocks and meet the needs of milling companies.”
He added that the shipments will be divided across five vessels, with two allocated to Jeddah Islamic Port and three to Yanbu Commercial Port.
