Mauritius buys 20,000 tonnes white rice in tender


HAMBURG (Reuters) - Mauritius' state purchasing agency has bought 20,000 tonnes of long grain white rice in a tender for the same volume at a price of $607.45 a tonne c&f, European traders said on Tuesday.
The rice was for shipment between February 1, 2010, and January 31, 2011.
Bidding deadline was December 11 and bids had to remain valid until January 20.
Mauritius traditionally buys its annual rice requirement in a single tender.
