TOKYO, March 7 (Reuters) - Japan's Ministry of Agriculture is not intending to conduct a food wheat tender this week due to an annual adjustment, which is generally made in March and September, a bureau official said on Tuesday.
Japan, the world's sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of the country's second-most important staple after rice, and buys the majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued thrice a month.
