CHICAGO, Aug 13 (Reuters) -Snapshot of the global export markets for grains, oilseeds and edible oils as reported by government and private sources as of the end of business on Tuesday:

DIRECT WHEAT PURCHASE PLAN: Egypt's state commodities buyer GASC is in talks about a large purchase of wheat in direct negotiations on Tuesday without issuing an international tender, traders in Europe and the Middle East said. Traders said the volume could involve up to 30 consignments of around 50,000 to 60,000 metric tons. Russian-origin wheat was said to be among the origins involved in the talks, but it was unclear whether wheat from other countries could also be involved.
