TOKYO, April 18 (Reuters) - Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) bought a total of 94,612 metric tons of food-quality wheat from the United States and Canada in a regular tender that closed on Thursday.
Japan, the world's sixth-biggest wheat importer, keeps a tight grip on imports of its second-most important staple after rice and buys the majority of the grain for milling via tenders typically issued three times a month.
Details are as follows (in metric tons):
