Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter News Detail‌ San Antonio Restaurants Proudly Serve U.S.-Grown Rice By Katie Maher

SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Each year, USA Rice teams up with restaurants in the host city of the USA Rice Outlook Conference to promote local establishments that serve U.S.-grown rice. This year, members can again look forward to an expansive selection of highly-rated restaurants that will satisfy every palate and price point. The nine restaurants participating in this year's promotion will display "We Proudly Serve U.S.Grown Rice" window clings and signs provided by USA Rice. Many restaurants expressed a desire to keep the emblem up year-round to support U.S. rice farmers. "We hope those attending the USA Rice Outlook Conference will visit these restaurants actively supporting the U.S. rice industry," said Cameron Jacobs, USA Rice's manager of domestic promotion. "An added bonus this year is most of the places on the list are walking distance from the conference hotels and Convention Center." Jacobs said the annual promotion helps increase awareness of U.S.-grown rice on several levels. "We use this program as an opportunity to talk about U.S. rice with chefs and managers, and they in turn educate their staff - both in the kitchen and on the floor," he said. "It brings us new rice ambassadors and gets people talking about U.S. rice - even after Outlook is gone." "We take a lot of pride in serving U.S.-grown rice here," said Michelle Montemayor, a manager at Rosario's Mexican Cafe, one of the participating restaurants on nearby Alamo Street. "Tell everybody to stop by Rosario's! We'd love to introduce everyone to our special Mexican rice." USA RICE DAILY

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter USA Rice Outlook Conference Kicks Off By Deborah Willenborg SAN ANTONIO, TX -- The 2017 USA Rice Outlook Conference got underway here last night with an opening reception in the exhibit hall and a fundraising dinner for the USA Rice Political Action Committee. And today's General Session opened with a host state welcome from Texas rice farmer L.G. Raun and State Comptroller Glenn Hegar, followed by keynote speaker Mark McKinnon. One of the most successful, influential, and respected political and media advisors in the modern era, McKinnon talked about lessons he learned crafting successful political messages and how those storytelling essentials can be used to tell the agriculture story to audiences unfamiliar with the territory. "In the short time I've been with you all today, I can see the rice industry has an amazing story to tell," said McKinnon. "The hardest part of messaging is finding one and you all have a great one. If you tell it with authenticity, people will listen because who doesn't love farmers?" The early morning schedule included presentations on the aptly named Innovation Stage, centrally located in the Exhibit Hall, featuring the latest the industry has to offer in technology and equipment. Today's General Session was followed by the Annual Rice Awards Luncheon, and the afternoon schedule is filled with new breakout sessions on topics that range from trade to conservation to grain bin safety, and more. "We're so excited about the slate of educational programming offered this year," said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward. "There is something here for everyone, with more to come tomorrow.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Millers worried over excessive moisture in processed rice Frame policy, Centre urged

Nakesh Jindal, spokesman for the Punjab Rice Millers Association, said millers across the state were facing the same issue. He said only 10 per cent of the millers have dryers installed in rice mills and rest of the millers had to dry the processed rice under direct sunlight for lowering the moisture level. As the winter had set in, it would be difficult for the millers to meet the norms. He urged the Centre to frame a policy in this regard to give some relief to the millers who were already facing a financial crisis. Resentment prevails among rice millers as the moisture in the rice produced after its processing was much higher than the set norms by different state purchasing agencies and the Food Corporation of India. The Centre and the state government had set a permissible limit of 17 per cent moisture content for paddy but various state purchasing agencies had purchased the paddy with a moisture content of 18 per cent to 24 per cent and stored in various rice mills in the region for processing. The purchasing of the paddy with a higher moisture level was done due to the dense smog conditions prevailing in the region during the previous month. The rice millers have to deliver the rice with 14 per cent moisture content whereas the processed rice was showing a moisture content of over 15 per cent. Rice millers Tejinder Singh Teji, Ashok Bansal and Harish Kumar said despite their best efforts to dry the paddy before processing, the moisture level in the processed rice was much more than the set norms of the government. They claimed that they would not only have to grease the palms of purchasing officials but would also have to pay hefty fines per truck, causing them losses to the tune of several lakhs. They alleged that due to the pressure of the state government to lift the paddy for milling, they were facing heavy losses and their mills would be on the verge of closure if the Central and state governments did not find any solution to their problems. Nakesh Jindal, spokesman for the Punjab Rice Millers Association, said millers across the state were facing the same issue. He said only 10 per cent of the millers have dryers installed in rice

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter JEYPORE: At a time when the paddy procurement in Jeypore district has been stalled due to the dispute between farmers and the State Civil Supply Corporation over FAQ standard, the millers are now upset with the department as the latter directed Government centres to stop receiving rice from the millers recently. As a result of the recent direction by the corporation to the rice receiving centres of the Government, uncertainty prevails over participation of millers and agents in mandis.Sources said the corporation had procured about 21 lakh quintal of paddy from farmers during the l ast kharif marketing season through PACs in mandis. Later, the procured crop was distributed among at least 93 millers as per the custom milling process. According to the Government norms, the millers should have delivered about 15 lakh quintal of rice to rice-receiving centres by September 2017. However, due to the alleged mismanagement of the officials of the Food and Civil Supply Department, enough space was not available to store the procured crop, the sources said. Only 47 rice millers had apparently met the target, delivering 11 lakh quintal rice within the stipulated time. Earlier, the members of millers’ association had met State Civil Supply and Consumer Welfare Secretary in Bhubaneswar, apprising him of the space problem of the Civil Supply Corporation. They had urged the Secretary to extend the deadline for paddy delivery and provide storage facilities as required. The Secretary had allowed the millers to deliver the rice by December 10, following which the millers geared up to deliver the pending rice stocks and about 3.50 lakh quintal stock was cleared by December 8. Even as the millers were about to deliver the targeted amount, the fresh direction of the Corporation to stop rice delivery has irked the millers who claimed that at least 50,000 quin tal of rice stock is pending. “The Civil Supply Corporation has been harassing the millers by stopping delivery of the pending rice. The Corporation has not provided godowns to keep the rice stock of millers. The millers are being punished for no fault of theirs,” Koraput District Millers secretary, Gopal Panda, said. Meanwhile, the millers demanded that the Corporation should immediately take the pending rice stocks from them. Contacted, District Civil Supply Officer BC Dash said the administration had been communicating with the State Civil Supply Corporation to sort out the problem at the earliest. “There will be proper procurement of paddy from farmers as well as rice from the millers in a couple of days,” he added http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2017/dec/12/millers-irked-over-move-on-riceprocurement-1724869.html

Five examples of how life sciences is revolutionising farming Life sciences studies are changing farming. Picture: Contributed Published: 12:28 Monday 11 December 2017 Share this article 0 HAVE YOUR SAY Agriculture has always been a key sector for Scotland, and life sciences developments have helped this crucial industry continue to anchor rural life and contribute to the wider Scottish economy. Georgina Keys, R&D Technical Consultant at Leyton, writes about advances in life sciences that are helping to revolutionise farming. Advances in life sciences in Scotland allow us to better understand intricate biochemical interplay in Scottish crops and livestock. With this greater understanding, farmers can then conduct experiments and undertake R&D projects to improve the quality of their crops and livestock. This places Scotland at the forefront of the market, as we are able to develop a strong agricultural industry with the corresponding biological knowledge. We are better able to understand the unique circumstances that improve crop yields, as well as genetic factors that can impact livestock through the work of Scottish biologists and chemists. Five current/recent developments in Life Sciences that have benefited the Agricultural Industry: Through genetic manipulation, scientists create crops that are nutritionally superior to previous crop. The Golden Rice Project is a good example of such advances. Scientists have used genetic engineering to produce rice rich in Vitamin A. Although rice contains Vitamin A, the genes that cue production of Vitamin A are turned off during growth. Scientists have genetically engineered this process to allow the growth of Vitamin A for longer.

Through the cross breeding of plants, agricultural biotechnology has given plants the ability to grow in a wide range of environments. Land that has been rendered unsuitable for crop growth now has the ability to be used. Scientists can genetically manipulate plants to make them more resistant to diseases and toxins, while maintaining the plants safety for human consumption. Genetic engineering of plants to improve disease resistance means that produce for human consumption has less pesticide residue, reduce the amount of harmful toxins seeping into groundwater and minimise exposure to farm workers. Through these developments, biotechnology has improved the agricultural industry and the environment. Advances in veterinary science and new medical techniques help provide an increased level of care for animals and are therefore able to cure diseases in a quicker and more efficient manner. This is highly beneficial for the farming industry. Scientists are able to improve fertility of their livestock, leading to larger herd sizes. This is achieved through feeding trails that can help increase the health of the livestock and through selective breeding regimes. The unique work undertaken by the Scottish life sciences sector, improves the knowledge of the biological and chemical underpinnings of the agricultural industry, thus providing Scotland with a strong

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter agricultural market position. By understanding these biological processes, farmers and agricultural experts are able to change current farming techniques as advancements in life sciences are achieved. Below are examples of some of the work our customers have undertaken within this sector: Trialling and testing growth of new varieties in different media Undertaking projects to increase their crop yield Trials with various fungicides and pesticides either through cessation of use or changing the type Undertaking feeding trials to improve the overall quality of their meat, cheese or dairy product Undertaking feeding trials to improve the fat to muscle ratio in livestock, thereby improving the quality of meat Trials to reduce soya content in their feed As farmers are able to secure monetary investment into their research and development projects, they are able to feed this information back to the scientists themselves, achieving the twin benefits of further deepening scientific knowledge and strengthening the agricultural market. https://www.scotsman.com/news/five-examples-of-how-life-sciences-is-revolutionising-farming-14636263

High levels of arsenic detected in rice cereal Claudia Boyd-Barrett December 10, 2017, 11:46 pm Your baby’s rice cereal may contain worrying levels of arsenic, according to a report [pdf] by a coalition of scientists and health advocates. The group, called Healthy Babies Bright Futures, tested more than 100 baby cereal samples from nine different companies. It found that cereals made with rice contained six times more arsenic than baby cereals made from other types of ingredients such as oatmeal, quinoa, buckwheat and barley. Arsenic occurs naturally in the environment, but industrial activities and pesticides can increase its presence. Plants absorb arsenic from soil and water, which can lead to tiny traces showing up in food. Rice is particularly prone to arsenic contamination because it absorbs more of the chemical than other plants. That’s true even if the rice is organically grown.

Exposure to high levels of arsenic has been tied to cancer, as well as developmental problems in children. The FDA has proposed limiting inorganic arsenic (the most toxic form of the chemical) to 100 parts per billion in infant rice cereal. Some rice cereal in the report tested at more than 200 parts per billion.The report is not a peer-reviewed study. However, past testing of rice cereal by other organizations including Consumer Reports and the FDA has also detected high arsenic levels. Healthy Babies Bright Futures advised parents to avoid rice cereal and feed babies iron-fortified cereals made with other grains instead. It also called on the Food and Drug Administration to enforce lower levels of arsenic in rice-based foods. Several baby food companies have said they are taking steps to make sure the rice used in their products is low in arsenic, according to the New York Times. 11 https://blogs.babycenter.com/parenting/high-levels-arsenic-detected-rice-cereal/

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter There are actually a wide variety of shimekazari that differ by size, design and decoration, and they often differ by region. Each ornament has unique features and beauty, according to a recently published book by graphic designer Sumako Mori. Titled “Shimekazari: Shinnen no Negai o Musubu Katachi” (Shimekazari: shapes looped with wishes for the New Year), the 200-page book is based on field research Mori conducted over many years. Mori became interested in shimekazari while working on a research project about the traditional ornament for her graduation from art school. Ever since, she has traveled throughout the country around the New Year holiday to observe how locals decorate home entrances or kamidana home altars with shimekazari. The book illustrates the ornaments’ beauty through black-and-white and full-color photos Mori took, and describes her encounters with rice farmers and craftspeople. It also explains various decorations attached to shimekazari, such as fans and daidai bitter orange. Some explanations are provided in English. “At first sight, shimekazari pieces appear identical, but they each have their own distinctive shapes,” Mori said. “I hope readers will rediscover the beauty of the decoration.” The book, published by Kosakusha, costs ¥2,500 before tax.

Smaller farms can cope better with climate change in India, say analysts Rina Chandran MUMBAI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - India’s small farmers are better equipped than large landowners to deal with climate change, but need more support to find innovative ways to minimize the impacts of higher temperatures, uneven rainfall, floods and droughts, analysts said.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter About 60 percent of India’s population of 1.3 billion depends on agriculture for a living. More than three quarters of farmers cultivate than 2 hectares (5 acres) of land each. While the small size of the land holding is often seen as a challenge to raising incomes, it is an advantage when it comes to tackling extreme weather and rising temperatures, said Arindom Datta, Asia head of sustainability banking at Rabobank. “Large farmers tend to do mono cropping, which is far more vulnerable to climate change, and more difficult to change and adapt as the situation demands. Plus they need more water, another resource under threat from warmer weather,” he said. “Small farmers are far more versatile; they usually plant multiple varieties of crops, so they are more flexible and better able to adjust and adapt,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised to double farmers’ incomes over the next five years, with reforms including better irrigation, crop insurance and higher prices for crops. Poor prices for grains and cereal have led to mounting piles of debt for Indian farmers, triggering thousands of suicides every year. More than two-thirds of farmers who committed suicide were small and marginal farmers, data show. The average size of land holdings in rural India has halved over the past two decades as land is passed down from father to son, and as more land is surrendered for development projects. While a law caps the amount of land that can be owned by individual farmers, several states have introduced leasing laws to enable farmers to increase the land under cultivation. But smaller land holdings are better suited if the government invests in training - particularly for women - on topics such as traditional grains such as millets, said Ishira Mehta, founder of CropConnect Enterprises, which links farmers to markets. “With rising temperatures, we may not be able to grow basmati rice or wheat 20 years from now; we need to revive traditional grains that are more climate resilient,” she said.

DOF to support 3 key economic bills in 2018 December 11, 2017, 10:00 PM By Chino S. Leyco The Department of Finance (DOF) would help in pushing for the passage of proposed measures aiming to raise taxes on “sin” products, slapping import duty on rice and the national ID system. While they will prioritize the Duterte administration’s tax reform package II next year, Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III said the fiscal authorities will support these three bills now pending in the Congress. “We told them that we will be really focusing on package two which is lowering CIT [corporate income tax tax] together with reviewing fiscal incentives. We would also support review of the sin tax law for both alcohol and tobacco,” Dominguez told reporters at the DOF headquarters. Along with higher excise tax on tobacco and alcoholic beverages, Dominguez said the DOF will also support the tarriffication of rice and the national ID.Asked about the chances that these measures may be delayed given 2019 is an election year, Dominguez said the passage of the these three-pending bills will depend on the legislators’ judgment. He, however, said the lowering of CIT, higher excise on sin products, slapping a 35-percent tariff on rice, and the national ID could be among the priority measures of the Duterte administration in 2018.“We understand that there may be other distractions from legislation, that will come up,

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter The official noted that the rise in trade deficit is due to the decrease in the export of apples and pistachios, and the increase in the import of staple foods such as rice, sunflower oil, palm oil, soybean, red meat, field corn, bananas, sugar, barley and soymeal. > 20% Decline in Pistachio Export Value Close to 68,680 tons of pistachios worth $628 million were exported during the eight-month period, registering a 22% and 20% decrease in weight and value respectively compared with last year’s corresponding period, Zargaran said. Pistachio is among Iran's major non-oil exports. The main customers of Iranian pistachio are the US, Ukraine, the UAE, Italy, Bahrain, Brazil, Bulgaria, Turkey, Canada, Qatar, Switzerland, France, Poland, Sweden, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Thailand, Japan, Romania and Hong Kong. According to Deputy Minister of Industries, Mining and Trade Mojtaba Khosrotaj, Iran supplies more than 50% of the world pistachio market and its main rival in pistachio production is the US state of California. Mahmoud Abtahi, chairman of the board of directors at the Iran Pistachio Association, noted that the amount of pistachio production in Iran in the last fiscal year halved to 180,000 tons, which is the main reason behind the decline in export this year. Mohsen Jalalpour, the head of Iran Pistachio Association said between 8,000 and 12,000 hectares of Iran’s pistachio orchards are lost annually because of water shortage and soil salinity. “Land under pistachio cultivation in Iran is currently close to 350,000 hectares while during the 2000s, the figure stood at more than 400,000 hectares,” he said. Kerman Province in southeast Iran is the country’s biggest producer of pistachio. The province once accounted for 70% of Iran’s pistachio production, but now produces only 30% of all the pistachio grown in the country due to the severe water crisis. > 7% Fall in Apple Export Value During the same eight-month period, nearly 155,000 tons of apples worth $65 million were exported from Iran, indicating a 26% and 7% fall in volume and value respectively, Zargaran said. Abbas Pakpour, the deputy head of Export Promotion Office with the Ministry of Agriculture, has attributed the decline in apple exports to the fact that almost all the stored apples were exported last year and there was not much left in warehouses across the country.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Close to 354,000 tons of apples worth around $110.45 million were exported from Iran in the last fiscal year (March 2016-17), registering a more than 10% increase in weight and 16% fall in value compared with the year before. "Based on figures released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Iran is the ninth biggest producer of apples worldwide. In exports, the country ranks ninth in terms of weight and 14th in value. As such, we account for 1.87% and 4.05% of the global production and exports respectively," he had said in an earlier interview.

In a letter to Minister of Industries Mohammad Shariatmadari, Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati has called for reinstating the ban on rice imports until further notice due to excessive imports. Every year, during the rice harvest season, the government bans rice imports to support local farmers and production. Import tariffs have increased from 22% four years ago to 40% at present for the same reason.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter The temporary ban was lifted last month as per the directive of the Ministry of Industries and was supposed to last until July 22, 2018. “We need imports, but imports that are limited and controlled,” Hojjati said earlier. Iran imports rice mainly from the UAE, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Turkey and Iraq. Iranians consume 3 million tons of rice a year while domestic production stands at 2.2 million tons. Therefore, there is a need for around 800,000 tons of imports every year. According to the Central and West Asia Rice Center, with around 54% of Central and West Asia’s paddy fields located in Iran, the country accounts for 61% of the regions’ combined rice production. The two northern provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran are home to a majority of Iran’s paddy fields. Hojjati noted that the agriculture sector accounts for 12% to 13% of Iran’s gross domestic product. “The sector has created between 19% and 20% of all the jobs in the country,” he was quoted as saying earlier. According to Eskandar Zand, the head of Agricultural Research, Education and Promotion Organization, the number of farmers reduces by 50,000 every year due to a lack of facilities in the sector. “Some 50% of the rural population are active in the agriculture sector. The figure for urban population is 5%,” he said. The agriculture sector expanded by 4.2% in the last Iranian year (March 2016-17) compared to the preceding year, according to the Central Bank of Iran. https://financialtribune.com/sites/default/files/field/image/17january/04-zs-zargaran_1256-ab.jpg

Strong baht may dampen rice exports 11 Dec 2017 at 04:30

A man arranges sacks of rice for exports at a warehouse in Ayutthaya province.TAWATCHAI KEMGUMNERD Thailand is set to export 9.5 million tonnes of milled rice next year, says the Thai Rice Exporters Association. That is down slightly from the 11 million tonnes Thailand is forecast to ship for the whole of this year, as the stronger baht is expected to curb exports, said president Charoen Laothammatas.

Thailand has exported 10.3 million tonnes of rice so far this year, up 16.3% from the same period of last year, according to Commerce Ministry data. Mr Charoen said strong demand during the year-end holiday season should help Thailand export more rice in December and could push total 2017 rice exports to 11 million tonnes. But that figure will not be enough for Thailand to reclaim its title as the world's biggest rice exporter, as India is expected to ship more than 11 million tonnes, he said. Thailand, which was the No.1 rice exporter for more than three decades, lost the crown for the first time in 2012, when exports fell to 6.9 million tonnes from 10.6 million in 2011. The sharp fall in 2012 was largely because of the Yingluck Shinawatra government's rice pledging scheme, which offered to buy rice from farmers at 50% above market prices. That made Thai rice exports uncompetitive, with massive amounts being kept in the state stockpiles, weighing on prices for years to come.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Mr Charoen said the Commerce Ministry's Foreign Trade Department has gradually released the record-high 18 million tonnes in rice stocks since mid-2017, leaving only 1 million tonnes of inedible-grade rice to be sold as animal feedstuff and other related purposes next year. He said a major factor that was expected to cut Thai rice exports to 9.5 million tonnes next year is the stronger baht, which could make Thai rice prices less competitive. "We are very concerned about the stronger baht, which keeps rising quite fast," said Mr Charoen. He said the baht has risen more than 9% to a 31-month high of 32.50 baht per US dollar. That level is well above the Vietnamese dong, which has risen 2%, allowing Vietnam, a major rice-exporting competitor, to offer lower prices. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/news/1376339/strong-baht-may-dampen-rice-exports

CORRECTED-Mali expects record 9.5 mln tonnes of grain in 2017/18 (Corrects paragraph 4 to read "That made a surplus of 4.1 million tonnes of grain..." instead of "Of the total, 4.1 million tonnes of grain has been exported...") BAMAKO, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Mali expects to produce a record 9.5 million tonnes of grain in the 2017/18 season that started in April, owing to more land being cultivated and increased use of tractors, the statistics office said on Sunday. Rice, maize and millet make up the bulk of the West African country's grain output. This season's expected production marks a 7.5 percent increase on last season but is slightly below forecasts made earlier in the year because of lower than expected rainfall, Balla Keita, deputy director of the Planning and Statistics Unit, told reporters. That made a surplus of 4.1 million tonnes of grain, he said. Below is a table giving a breakdown of the grains produced. All figures are in tonnes:

The high grade of our rice could earn us more money on the international market By Staff Writer Dear Editor, Being at one time the point man for rice and paddy on the Essequibo Coast and a former rice extension officer, it is welcome news to hear from the Minister of Agriculture new markets to push rice growth (KN, December 11). Five new markets will definitely boost the rice industry and encourage the farmers to cultivate every inch of their land. When Guyana lost the Venezuelan market everyone thought that all was gone, and the farmers became frustrated because they couldn’t pay their debts and go back to the land. Anyhow they kept hanging on with the poor prices paid for their produce as they knew that the industry would rebound one day. The industry was always in this state: one time up another time down. As a little boy my parents went through these horrible times and the job was harder than it is today, but they never gave up because it was their only source of livelihood. When I took over the reins it was better, and the industry brought new high-yielding varities, like Champion, Blue Belle, Diwani, etc. Farmers were reaping 40 bags per acre, and although the price was low the yield compensated for our hard work in the field. There were no combines or tractors; we were planting the crops with our hands, tilling the soil with bulls and reaping crops with grass knives. Times have changed with tractors and combines, and farmers have more advantages through getting higher yields with new varieties coming from the Burma Research Station. According to the Minister, by the end of the year rice production is projected to be 602,087 metric tonnes, representing an increase of 12.7 per cent; this is a great achievement for the industry. Although the price is $3,500 per bag, the farmers were able to see a profit and go back to their lands. With the heavy rainfall and no shortage of irrigation water in the main canal, Region Two has already cultivated all 35,500 acres of its lands without difficulty. The Burma Research Station has to be more pro-active in releasing these new lines early for the crop.

This can infest their lands causing poor yields and grades; better certification of the seeds is needed before it is sold to farmers.
