Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(MAFF) is seeking to buy a total of 53,957 tonnes of food-quality wheat from Canada and Australia in regular tenders that will close on Thursday.

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 three times a month.
