Iranian company Jahad Sabz has issued an international tender to procure 10,000 metric tonnes of rice from Pakistan, according to a tender document circulated to European traders on Thursday.
The tender specifies Type 1121 white basmati rice, a premium variety exported by Pakistan.
Price offers must be submitted by December 30, the document said.
The development comes at a time when exporters have raised concerns over a slowdown in rice shipments, citing pressures on demand and pricing in key markets.
