The tender will close Wednesday at 1400 local time, with offers expressed as a basis value over the CBOT September 2018 corn futures contract.

Shipment for US Gulf, Brazil or Argentina loading cargoes will be May 27-June 15, with Pacific Northwest or South Africa loaders shipping between June 6-30, with the seller declaring origin by April 27.
