Bangladesh has also issued a separate tender seeking 50,000 tons of rice with price offers to be submitted on November 20 following two previous tenders in November.
The new tender again seeks price offers for non-basmati parboiled rice in CIF liner out terms, which involve ship unloading costs for the seller. Price offers in the tender must remain valid until December 15.
