Egypt’s GASC: Bunge offered to replace rejected French wheat

Egypt’s state grain buyer, General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC) said Friday Bunge Ltd had offered to send a replacement for a vessel of French wheat rejected due to the ergot fungus.

GASC was studying Bunge’s offer, said Mamdouh Abdel Fattah, GASC’s vice chairman.

Bunge, which took legal action on Thursday to complete the delivery of the rejected cargo, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
