The State Reserves Agency will hold direct negotiations with agricultural producers regarding the replenishment of state reserves of food wheat.
According to the press service of the institution, the Agency initiated a procedure for direct negotiations with milling wheat producers without prior publication of a notice of participation. In total, it is planned to purchase 41 thousand 715 tons of wheat at a price of 201.59 million lei: suppliers of 8 batches of fresh crop wheat weighing from 2 thousand to 6.9 thousand tons each will be selected. All economic entities that have the opportunity to submit a proposal for one or more lots are invited to negotiations, and agricultural producers who own smaller volumes of food wheat can unite to draw up and submit their proposal. Manufacturers or a group of producers can send their proposals to the State Reserves Agency until October 24. The requirements for the procedure for participation in direct negotiations on the supply of food wheat of the new crop to the state reserve can be found at the link: https://bit.ly/3CH7h1f. Let us remind that in August, the Agency announced a tender for the purchase of food wheat of the 2022 harvest to replenish state and mobilization reserves, but the purchase did not take place due to the lack of participants. According to various estimates, the main reason for the failure of public procurement was the low purchase price and the distribution of purchases only in large lots, respectively, farmers with smaller volumes of products could not participate in them. // 10.10.2022 - InfoMarket.
