  "summary": "Tunisia's state agency ONF has issued an international tender to purchase approximately 79,500 metric tons of animal feed corn, according to European traders. The tender, which closes on Friday, August 21, allows for corn to be sourced from optional origins. The corn is needed in three separate shipments, with delivery scheduled between September 15 and October 25, depending on the origin of the supply. The tender announcement reiterates Tunisia's previous stance that the grains purchased are optional in origin, meaning that Black Sea grain suppliers may not invoke force majeure due to the ongoing conflict and must source grains from alternative origins.",
