News Detail… UK, Spain, Germany and Thailand join up to adopt a climate-smart rice cultivation system, reducing climate change impacts and raising Thai farmer's income Mars Food, Herba Bangkok S.L (Ebro Foods S.A), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Thai Rice Department recently launched an innovative joint project to improve the economic viability of 1,200 Thai rice farmers and develop highquality and sustainable Hom Mali rice with a climate-smart system to mitigate climate change in Roi Et province. The ―Sustainable Hom Mali Rice‖ project will be implemented for 2.5 years (2018-2020). The main implementing partners are Mars Food, Herba Bangkok S.L (Ebro Foods S.A), GIZ and the Thai Rice Department. The project aims to support 1,200 Thai rice growers from each of the 12 community rice centres in Roi Et province in the production of 3,500 metric tons of Hom Mali rice. Ms. Sineenart Chuichulcherm, Global Commercial Director of Mars Food said: ―This initiative is part of Mars Food‘s journey to source rice from farmers working towards the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) standard. In 2016, Mars Food reached an important milestone and now all basmati rice is sourced from farmers working towards the SRP standard representing 10 percent of our overall rice volume. From now on, Mars Food will be working with Herba Bangkok S.L (Ebro Foods S.A), the Thai Rice Department and GIZ to further the standards outlined by the SRP on Hom Mali rice. We guarantee that we can achieve a more sustainable Hom Mali rice crop in Thailand that benefits all stakeholders – farmers, rice producers, and the environment.‖ Dr. Matthias Bickel, GIZ Thailand’s Director of Agriculture and Food Cluster said: ―In collaboration with the Thai Rice Department, Mars Food, Herba Bangkok S.L (Ebro Foods S.A) and Hom Mali rice farmers in Thailand, the project will implement numerous interventions such as educating farmers on SRP standards and agronomic technologies, giving access to highquality seeds, enhancing the skills of farmer groups, improving gender equity, adoption of

Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-enabled traceability for food safety and quality considerations, and stimulating domestic and international off-takers to procure sustainable rice. The partnership also aims to provide access to finance mechanisms and improve the financial literacy of agriculture cooperatives, with a focus on gender inclusion to unlock opportunities for women.‖ Mr. Ignacio Yuste Sanchez, Herba Bangkok’s (Ebro Foods) Regional Managing Director said: ―For Ebro Foods, this project forms part of our commitment to sustainability in the sector, since Thailand plays a major role in the Group‘s rice supply chain. We firmly believe that the best way to achieve sustainability in the sector is through alliances, and we have such strong partners with Mars Food, GIZ, Thai Rice Department, millers and farmers all banding together. Currently a lot of discussions are going on about the sustainability of the rice sectors with focus on the livelihood of farmers, chemical usage, inclusiveness, food security and the overall condition and wellbeing of farmers. These issues are not exclusive to smallholders but focusing on them can drive industry change.‖ Mr.Anan Suwannarat, General Director of the Thai Rice Department said: ―Hom Mali rice has been declared the world's best rice and Thailand is one of the world's leading rice exporters, yet rice farmers are among the lowest earners in the country's agriculture sector. Many Thai rice farmers face rising production costs and fluctuating prices. Under this project, we will join forces in developing a sustainable quality of rice. The Rice Department is responsible for planning and implementation of the national rice policy and strategy through research and development of rice seed, farming practices, post-harvest and processing, and rice standards. By so doing, we ensure that our implementation can help farmers produce good quality rice and reduce the cost of production while increasing rice yield as well as quality rice according to global requirement. It is expected that the project will help the farmers to earn additional income in each community.‖ About Mars Food Mars Food is a fast-growing dinnertime food business, making tastier, healthier, easier meals that bring the world to the dinner table.

India has earned more than Rs 18,000 crore foreign exchange per year from export of basmati rice, especially from the variety 1121 developed by the country‘s top agriinstitute ICAR, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said today. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has developed many new varieties and technologies which have helped transform the food importing nation to an food exporting country, he said. The institute is playing an important role in fulfilling the government‘s vision of doubling farmers‘ income by 2022, he added. ―Instead of boasting about the past achievements, the ICAR should focus on addressing the present and future challenges,‖ the minister said while addressing the 90th foundation day ceremony of the ICAR. Much of the ICAR research so far was on raising farm output to reduce the country‘s dependence on imports but going forward the institute should concentrate on raising crop yields, increasing nutrition level, developing climate resilient

crop varieties besides attracting youth in farm sector, he said.

The efforts should be towards improving the farming and farmers‘ income, he said. Highlighting measures taken to boost farmers‘ income, the minister said the government had recently raised MSP of kharif crops that is 50 per cent higher than the cost of production. Echoing the views, Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, ―We have become self-sufficient in most crops except one oilseeds/edibles oils. One big challenge before us is reducing import of edible oils.‖ Over Rs 70,000 crore worth of edible oil is imported every year. ―It is not the time to sit quiet. We need to move ahead and address this challenge,‖ he said. ICAR Director General Trilochan Mohapatra said the institute has released 189 varieties in last six month.

Processable varieties in tomato (H391) and onion (HR6) have been released, which will help boost farmers income. He said that innovation and support of agri-scientists are required for achieving the government‘s vision of doubling farmers‘ income.

MSP increase could hit non-basmati rice exports Much of India’s non-basmati exports — which have zoomed from just one lakh tonnes to over 8.6 million tonnes (mt) in this decade — are to African nations. Written by Harish Damodaran | New Delhi | Updated: July 15, 2018 5:42:01 am

The MSP increase will totally erode India‘s price competitiveness,‖ said an official from a major agricommodity exporting firm. (Express Archive)

The government‘s decision to raise the minimum support price (MSP) of common paddy from Rs 1,550 to Rs 1,750 per quintal this crop season may benefit farmers ahead of elections, but could impact the country‘s export of non-basmati rice, annually worth almost Rs 23,000 crore. Much of India‘s non-basmati exports — which have zoomed from just one lakh tonnes to over 8.6 million tonnes (mt) in this decade — are to African nations, both West (Benin, Nigeria, Niger, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Guinea and Senegal) and East (Somalia and Djibouti), and also to Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. These are poorer countries relative to West Asia, UK, Europe, US, Canada and Australia, the main markets for the more premium basmati rice. In 2017-18, India shipped out 4.05 mt of basmati rice, which was less than half the quantity of non-basmati (8.63 mt), but of higher value (Rs 26,841.19 crore versus Rs 22,927.06 crore for the latter). ―Unlike basmati, non-basmati rice is a highly price-sensitive segment. The MSP increase

will totally erode India‘s price competitiveness,‖ said an official from a major agri-commodity exporting firm. Currently, long-grain (6 mm) parboiled rice with 5% broken grain content – which is what India largely exports – is quoting at $385-390 per tonne free-on-board (FOB, or the point of shipment). Paddy yields roughly two-thirds rice, with the milling costs – including salaries, interest and overheads – more or less recovered from sale of husk and bran. If paddy is sourced from Chhattisgarh, Odisha or Andhra Pradesh at an MSP of Rs 1,550 per quintal, the equivalent price of milled rice will be around Rs 23.25 per kg. After adding commission fees, local levies and transport charges of Rs 1.25, the delivered cost at Kakinada port will come to Rs 24.50/kg. On top of this are ―fobbing costs‖ (towards bagging, warehousing, inspection, customs clearance and cargo handling/stevedoring) of Rs 1.50, which takes the final FOB price to Rs 26/kg or $380 per tonne at Rs 68.5-to-the-dollar. But with the new paddy MSP of Rs 1,750 per quintal, the basic rice cost itself will go up by Rs 3/kg or nearly $44 per tonne. ―At this rate, we will be completely priced out. Today, even longgrain white raw rice with 5% brokens from Thailand is selling at below $400 per tonne FOB,‖ the earlier-quoted exporter pointed out. The implications of it aren‘t small. India produces about 110 mt of rice, out of which 36-38 mt is procured by government agencies and 12.5-12.7 mt is exported. The higher MSP is not applicable on basmati paddy and would anyway make little difference to the four-mt exports of this premium rice. But to the extent the 8.5-8.7 mt of non-basmati rice exports are affected, there will be that much of surplus grain in the domestic market, which may end up in government warehouses. This, when public rice stocks, at 23.25 mt as on July 1, are way above the normative buffer of 13.54 mt required to be maintained before the start of the new agricultural year. ―The entire 8.5-8.7 mt exports may not take a hit, but at least 3 mt or so can be impacted. The two offsetting factors could be a further depreciation of the rupee and a bumping up of prices by

Indian exporters,‖ noted Ashok Gulati, agriculture economist and former chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices. India, according to US Department of Agriculture data, accounted for 12.8 mt out of the total global rice trade of 48.98 mt in 2017-18, making it the world‘s largest exporter, ahead of Thailand (10.5 mt), Vietnam (7 mt), Pakistan (4.2 mt), Myanmar (3.5 mt) and the US (3.05 mt). ―Being a large exporter, India can set prices. But the ability to pass on the higher MSP is limited by the low purchasing power, especially of African countries who may even switch to cheaper cereal substitutes like cassava. Besides, Thailand and Vietnam may respond by ramping up their supplies and grabbing our market share,‖ added Gulati. But there could also be a third possibility – of rice meant for the public distribution system (PDS) getting diverted for exports. This, if trade sources are to be believed, is already taking place. Given that the Central issue price for rice under the National Food Security Act is just Rs 3/kg – states like AP, Telangana, Odisha and Chhattisgarh are offering it at Rs 1/kg – the incentives for diversion are obviously huge. ―PDS rice typically has 20-25 % brokens. There are traders/millers who manage to get these through collusion with food department officials and transporters, which they then convert into 5% brokens (by adding unbroken or head rice bought from the market) and sortex (to remove discoloured and damaged grain) for achieving export quality,‖ explained an exporter, who, however, couldn‘t quantify the extent of such PDS-diverted shipments. Leading non-basmati exporters from India include the Singapore-based Olam International and also not-so-well-known domestic players such as Satyam Balajee Rice Industries, Pattabhi Agro Foods, HRMM Agro Overseas, Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar Exports and Sukhbir Agro Energy. https://indianexpress.com/article/india/msp-increase-basmati-rice-export-paddy-5259673/

New herbicide Loyant hurts rice crops New herbicide Loyant hurts rice crops Rice plants affected by herbicide Loyant struggle with growth. (Contributed photo) Posted: Monday, July 16, 2018 9:33 am | Updated: 10:27 am, Mon Jul 16, 2018. By allen D. fisher allen.fisher@baycitytribune.com |

New herbicide Loyant hurts rice crops Several hundred acres of rice crops struggling in Matagorda area Some 500 acres of rice in Matagorda County is struggling. Not with the usual weather, but with a new herbicide that was used for the first time this year. AgriLife Extension agents have had numerous calls from rice growers and crop consultants in Texas about crop response or injury issues associated with the new herbicide product Loyant. ―The concerns we‘re having is that it‘s something unclear right now what is truly going on,‖ Matagorda County Extension Agent Aaron Sumrall said. ―Whether it‘s a herbicide issue solely, or if it‘s combined with management. We know it has something to do with water. How the water is introduced or removed from that field following that herbicide treatment.‖ Loyant herbicide is a synthetic auxin and provides broad-spectrum weed control on a range of grasses, broadleaves, sedges and aquatics, including problematic grasses such as resistant barnyard grass, or jungle-rice. Very limited, if any, soil residual activity has been observed. Symptoms of the herbicide family includes onion leafing (rolled leaves) and buggy whipping (leaves catch at the collar), twisting and stunting. Farmers have also noticed that the base of the plant swells and often turns purple. ―It‘s mostly improved varieties that are showing some tiller drop, which in turn affects the productivity of that rice,‖ Sumrall said. ―We have not been able to get back into those fields to see how well the rice is recovering. We do know some of that rice has tried to recover. We hope that rice can recover after the rain downpours.‖ As much as 1,000 acres have had Loyant applied to rice crops in Matagorda County with only about half being affected, most of them the ―improved‖ varieties. ―I‘ve heard of the damage that Loyant has done, but I used it and it hasn‘t affected me,‖ said Paul Sliva, a farmer with 600 acres of rice. ―It‘s seems to have only affected certain varieties. I have a conventional variety of rice and maybe that‘s why it hasn‘t really affected me. I also used it earlier in the year, and maybe that has something to do with it.‖ Ag agents have been evaluating this herbicide over the past several years in replicated field trials at the David Wintermann Rice Research Station in Eagle Lake, but didn‘t show significant response to rice from the new herbicide. ―There was a limited supply so we ended up going with conventional chemicals,‖ said Carey Orsak, a rice farmer located north of Bay City. ―We‘re glad it ended we didn‘t. It‘s really hurt the hybrids out there. It‘s not always good to be the first guy. We‘ll probably never use it, too much risk.‖ Loyant‘s affects also depend on application use. ―They put the herbicide on and at some point after, which is not real clear as far as management suggestion from the company how soon the fields need to be flood or how soon the water needs to be removed before the application,‖ Sumrall said. ―Data indicates that Loyant caused more damage in hybrids than inbreeds, which is in agreement with other reports in Texas and other states. The results also indicated that two applications of the herbicide caused more yield loss than one application.‖ Sumrall said they hope to be back in the fields on Monday to see how the rice is recovering.

Opinions divided over sea rice cultivation as fresh water still needed By Liu Caiyu Source:Global Times Published: 2018/7/16 21:08:40

Plantation still needs fresh water, method impractical: researcher

Yuan Longping (center), dubbed as China's "father of hybrid rice," selects "sea rice" at a rice demonstration field in Qingdao, East China's Shandong Province on May 28. Photo: VCG China's agricultural experts are questioning whether sea rice can be grown in commercial quantities in tidal flats after an article cast doubt on the idea of feeding more people with salt alkali-tolerant rice. It is impractical to grow large-scale sea rice in coastal shoals since sea rice needs to be irrigated with diluted sea water. Sea rice still depends on fresh water irrigation, wrote Ling Qihong, who specializes in rice cultivation, on the recent issue of China Rice magazine.

The Sea-Rice Research and Development Center in Qingdao, which spearheaded sea rice research in China, rebuffed Ling's opinion, saying the large-scale plantation of sea rice can be irrigated with alkaline water near saline-alkaline land, and that there was no need to mix fresh water with seawater. Sea rice can be watered by alkaline water near saline-alkaline land, with lower salinity. The rice varieties the center develops can grow with 0.6 percent saline water," according to a statement the center sent to the Global Times on Monday. "Sea rice is the layman's term for salt-alkali-tolerant rice. It cannot be directly irrigated by seawater as its literal meaning shows," it noted. Li Xinqi, a research fellow at the China National Hybrid Rice R&D Center, told the Global Times on Monday that the salt alkali-tolerant rice was initially developed to make it survive in land that suffers from seawater. Ideally, salt alkali-tolerant rice can be directly watered by seawater, which is what researchers are aiming for in the future. Seawater is saline up to 3.5 percent. Salt alkali-tolerant rice can thrive if it can tolerate a certain level of salt and alkali. About 6.7 million hectares of saline and alkaline land can be saved if the rice can survive in 0.6 percent saline water, Li said. The center also noted that the use of "the four dimensional improvement technology" using censors and big data technologies would further stabilize sea rice during plantation. Yuan Longping led the project to develop sea rice, who has been dubbed China's "father of hybrid rice." Yuan said that "if the sea rice expands to 6.7 million hectares with the lowest rate of 300 kilograms per 1 mu (0.07 hectare), rice production would increase by another 30 billion kilograms, and 80 million more people could be fed." Together with standard planting techniques, sea rice can be used across China by 2020 after the first national standard seawater rice variety is approved in 2019, the center told the Global Times. The Qingdao center is promoting sea rice in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and is planning a 100-hectare sea rice plot at a Dubai desert in 2019. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1111065.shtml

Rice demo farm put up to promote climate-resilient technologies By Leilanie Adriano July 16, 2018, 9:03 pm

RICE DEMO FARM. A team from Mariano Marcos State University visits a rice demonstration farm at the Ilocos Norte Agricultural College (INAC) in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte that features climate-resilient technologies. (Photo courtesy of INAC) LAOAG CITY — The state-run Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) is partnering with the Ilocos Norte Agricultural College (INAC) to promote climate-resilient technologies through a nine-hectare rice demonstration farm.The farm, established at INAC, is aimed at empowering local communities to sustain crop productivity amidst the challenges of climate change.The project, dubbed ―Sustaining Crop Productivity in Climate Vulnerable Areas in Ilocos Norte through Science and Technology Community-Based Farm (STCBF) on Climate Resilient

India earns Rs 18,000 cr per year from export of basmati rice, says agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh Business Press Trust of India Jul 16, 2018 18:06:04 IST New Delhi: India has earned more than Rs 18,000 crore foreign exchange per year from the export of basmati rice, especially from the variety 1121 developed by the country's top agriinstitute ICAR, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said on Monday. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has developed many new varieties and technologies which have helped transform the food importing nation to a food exporting country, he said. The institute is playing an important role in fulfilling the government's vision of doubling farmers' income by 2022, he added. "Instead of boasting about the past achievements, the ICAR should focus on addressing the present and future challenges," the minister said while addressing the 90th foundation day ceremony of the ICAR. Representational image. Reuters. Much of the ICAR research so far was on raising farm output to reduce the country's dependence on imports but going forward the institute should concentrate on raising crop yields, increasing nutrition level, developing climate resilient crop varieties besides attracting youth in the farm sector, he said.

The efforts should be towards improving the farming and farmers' income, he said. Highlighting measures taken to boost farmers' income, the minister said the government had recently raised MSP of kharif crops that is 50 percent higher than the cost of production. Echoing the views, Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, "We have become self-sufficient in most crops except one oilseeds/edibles oils. One big challenge before us is reducing import of edible oils." Over Rs 70,000 crore worth of edible oil is imported every year. "It is not the time to sit quiet. We need to move ahead and address this challenge," he said. ICAR Director General Trilochan Mohapatra said the institute has released 189 varieties in last six month. Processable varieties in tomato (H391) and onion (HR6) have been released, which will help boost farmers income. He said that innovation and support of agri-scientists are required for achieving the government's vision of doubling farmers' income.

Scientists, offshore wind developer look to minimize marine life impacts July 15. 2018 7:35PM | Updated July 16. 2018 9:19PM By Benjamin Kail Day staff writer b.kail@theday.com BenKail Despite lacking ears, oysters respond to noise. "We don't think of underwater noise as an issue ... but most marine life — if not all marine life — listens to the world around it in one way or another," said Aaron Rice, a researcher at Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology. As part of the lab's bioacoustics program, Rice's research dives into the sounds animals make, helping scientists pinpoint habitats and behavior patterns. He also examines how human-made sounds impact sea critters, whether oysters slamming their shells shut at the hum of a cargo ship or whales within earshot of a pile driver for an offshore wind turbine foundation. Rice said he's been encouraged by what he's learned about offshore wind, even with an immense amount of "steel in the water" planned off the shores of the East Coast within the next five to 10 years.

Deepwater Wind, which built and operates the Block Island Wind Farm, plans a 75-turbine wind farm south of Martha's Vineyard that will deliver electricity to Rhode Island and Connecticut by 2023. The company is proposing to help New London State Pier become a hub for offshore wind deployment. While noise pollution associated with pile driving into the seabed is "not an insignificant noise footprint," Rice said it was "a fairly short noise event," especially compared to geophysical exploration for oil and gas, in which "seismic activity will go on for months and months on end." Rice added that Deepwater Wind could consider other foundation and turbine types that could lessen the impact of pile driving or eliminate the need to pile drive at all. Trenching a cable from turbines to the shore, and ships required for maintenance and construction also will produce noise that could impact sea life, Rice said. "A quiet ocean is a good thing," Rice said. "Elevated noise has demonstrated effects to all animals, including people. But wind is not the most severe by any stretch of the imagination." He described the overall impact of offshore wind on marine life as "a drop in the bucket ... compared to global shipping on which the world depends." Stephen Boutwell, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, said BOEM "is unaware of any harm to marine life as a result of operating a wind facility." BOEM leases swathes of federal waters to offshore wind developers and researches potential impacts on marine life. The agency has reshaped wind lease areas based on concerns from the commercial fishing industry and conservationists, Boutwell said. Deepwater Wind says surveys of the site area and sea floor likely will begin this summer. Construction should begin by 2021 after lengthy state and federal permitting processes. The costs of the project have not yet been revealed, and Deepwater Wind and utilities still need to hammer out contracts. Scientists: no evidence linking turbines to whale strandings Last June, after a humpback whale carcass was found stranded ashore in Jamestown, R.I., University of Rhode Island researchers called into question some widespread reports that tried to pin the Block Island Wind Farm as the culprit, arguing "it is highly unlikely the whale's death had anything at all to do with a turbine." Bob Kenney, a URI marine research scientist, and Jim Miller, a URI professor of ocean engineering and oceanography, said the five turbines off Block Island produce about 100 underwater decibels at a range of about 50 meters, "very low and only detectable when ships are not nearby and when the wind is not too strong." Additionally, the pair noted that noisy pile driving and construction occurred a few years before the whale was stranded in Jamestown, and that "whales themselves are louder than turbines." The researchers said social calls of humpbacks have measured between 123 and 183 underwater decibels at 1 meter, while scientists have measured fin whale vocalizations near the Block Island Wind Farm at more than 140 underwater decibels at a range of 500 meters.

In an email Sunday, Kenney said nothing had changed his opinion since last year. Offshore wind projects "will all have mitigation plans ... which typically include seasonal restrictions" on construction to protect marine life, he said. He added that the impact of turbine foundations in the water was not as great as some had feared, "and for some species, sea turtles, some fish, added structure is probably a benefit rather than a negative impact." "Marine mammals are not following some narrowly defined movement routes along the shore, so it's not like building something in one lane of the highway," he said. At the time of the humpback's stranding in Jamestown last year, Mendy Garron, the Regional Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator, told the Block Island Times that, "We don't believe the Wind Farm would have any negative activity on the humpback whales." Asked about the Jamestown humpback last week, NOAA spokeswoman Jennifer Goebel said, "The report on this whale was that it is a presumed ship strike case based on test results, which are apparently limited." Professor Ian Boyd, who has researched acoustic disturbance to whales at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, was misquoted by a United Kingdom news outlet seven years ago in what he described to The Day as a "spurious and untrue" article about whale deaths. Several websites since have directly or loosely referenced "research at St. Andrews University" linking turbines to whale deaths. "I know of no evidence supporting a connect of wind farms to the deaths of whales," Boyd wrote to The Day on Friday. "Frankly, it's really unlikely. The greatest risks occur during construction but even then they are only likely to cause disturbance, be relatively short-lived and vary between species. Many species are pretty robust to disturbance. There are also well developed methods to mitigate these effects." Deepwater Wind to schedule construction around whale migration season Ensuring protection of the North Atlantic right whale is a top concern, according to scientists and Deepwater Wind. Rice noted it was a "highly endangered species hunted nearly to extinction" that was rebuilding for a time but is "slow moving and vulnerable to ship strikes or getting tangled in fishing gear." Aileen Kenney, Deepwater Wind's senior vice president of development, acknowledged that noise from construction equipment and shipping potentially could disturb whales and other species, making them go into deeper waters or change their movement patterns. Kenney has no relation to the URI scientist. When building the Block Island Wind Farm, Deepwater Wind complied with BOEM requirements to stop construction if workers spotted certain sea life within specific distances. The company also established agreements with groups such as the Conservation Law Foundation, the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Counsel to limit impact on right whales.

"We're saying we're not going to do any pile-driving, not any survey activities ... from the November time frame to April or May," Kenney said. "It is a big logistical challenge for us, but it's an important commitment that minimizes impact to the species." Kenney and several scientists noted that no right whale calves had been born so far in 2018, and NOAA says only about 450 right whales remain in the Atlantic. NOAA is investigating three separate waves of abnormal fatality totals among three species of whales between 2016 and 2018, including the right whale, minke whale and humpback whale. Since June 2017, NOAA has investigated 19 dead stranded right whales, 12 of them in Canada and seven in the U.S. In the past two years, 33 minke whales have been found stranded along East Coast beaches, including a dozen in Massachusetts. Since 2016, 76 humpbacks have met the same fate, 20 of them in New England. The causes of the overall increase in deaths â&#x20AC;&#x201D; deemed by NOAA as Unusual Mortality Events for each species â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remain undetermined. But many necropsies show evidence of vessel strikes or entanglements in fishing gear, and NOAA said more study is needed. "Contributing factors to the whale mortalities are still being investigated as part of this ongoing event," NOAA spokeswoman Katherine Brogan said Friday. liberal control of EPA means old boy network allows projects such as this but fails to widen I-95 or route 11 while normal folks suffer..they used to scream about this type of hypocrisy ..now if they come up short on energy requirements for the future which will only increase with electric cars, I think they should be jailed This project will create irreversible damage to the marine ecology. Its a bad idea and, New London doesn't need to be the staging destination for the build. Regardless of any investigation, corners will be cut, and construction will be sub standard. The cable are also another issue with damaging the ecology. A desalination plant would be a much better idea. This is a waste of money and a bad idea.Have a great Monday! https://www.theday.com/article/20180715/NWS01/180719597

Can we ask millers to sell away rice in open market? HC poser to AP govt Sagar Kumar Mutha | TNN | Jul 16, 2018, 23:10 IST

TimesPoints

( HYDERABAD: Wondering whether the court can ask the millers to sell away the rice lying with them in the open market because the state is refusing to accept it on grounds of low quality, the Hyderabad high court on Monday requested a single judge to expeditiously resolve the issue as the rice is perishable and is piling up with the millers. The bench of Chief Justice T B Radhakrishnan and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan said this while hearing the case of AP‘s Civil Supplies Corporation which is challenging the order of a single judge who wanted the corporation to first receive the rice from the Vizianagaram rice millers union. The Millers‘ counsel told the court that the state is refusing to take the rice from them after branding it as substandard despite the fact that what they milled was the paddy supplied by the state authorities themselves. Latest Comment May be cheaper!!!!Ramaswami Narayanan Conveying the version of the civil supplies corporation, AP‘s Advocate General Dammalapati Srinivas told the court that they supply paddy to the millers who will mill them and produce custom milled rice. Thereafter, this rice has to go to civil supplies corporation and to the food corporation of India (FCI). The problem arose when FCI started refusing to receive the rice stating that it was of low quality. But the single judge asked the civil supplies corporation to receive the rice from the millers, he said. Miller‘s counsel said that the authorities never bothered to record the quality of paddy they are supplying to us in the trip sheets. But now they are saying that the mill is giving substandard rice. In the meantime, the state is resorting to en-cashing of our bank guarantees, he said. The bench referred the matter back to the single judge while asking him to resolve the issue on an urgent basis in view of the perishable nature of rice if left unattended to in the backdrop of the current

imbroglio. Instead of en-cashing the bank guarantees furnished by the millers, can we instead ask the millers to sell away the rice lying with them, the bench queried? However, it left all the issues to be resolved by the single judge. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/65014887.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_ medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

What is SRI Rice? July 17, 2018 in Buzz

Miguel Braganza For the last three years, the students of Don Bosco College of Agriculture (DBCA), Sulcorna, have learnt how sample soil and analyze its nutrient as well as microbial health status; insect pests and their organic management practices; fungal and bacterial diseases and their management.

They have hands-on experience in raising rice seedlings by Dapog nursery, green leaf manuring (GLM) with fresh Glyricidia leaves and line transplanting for the Madagascar method or SRI. The first batch of students now divided into groups of five to seven members share their learning with the farmers in the villages of Neturlim, Pirla, Rivona, Malcornem and Zambaulim in Sanguem and Quepem talukas. This is their Rural Agriculture Work Experience (RAWE) program, which includes three months stay in the designated village. The focus of the farmers this season is rice. The System of Rice Intensification or SRI Method was developed in 1980s from traditional systems in Madagascar, off the coast of South Africa, by the French priest, Fr Henri de Laulanie. This was later fine-tuned by Norman Uphoff at Cornell International Institute for Food &

Agriculture, USA. It is an improvement over the Japanese method of transplanting followed in India since the ‗Green Revolution‘ in the mid-1960s. Long before scientists confirmed that the root system of rice is more efficient when the soil is not flooded, the farmers in Madagascar had noticed that rice grew and yielded better when the soil was alternately flooded and allowed to dry up to hair-line cracking of the soil surface. This SRI method gives better yields and needs less seed. The students have assisted the farmers to prepare Dapog nurseries that ensure that the root system of the seedlings is not damaged as it sometimes happens during uprooting from the soil. In Dapog, it is also easier to inoculate the seedlings with Trichoderma viride to prevent soilborne diseases and Beauvaria bassiana to control insect pests. It will also be possible to inoculate the seedlings with Bacillus subtilis that shows promise for increasing rice yields in khazan lands. These micro-organisms have been tested, found to work well and are available in Goa but the farmers did not know till the students began working with them. The students are interacting with the Zonal Agriculture Offices to help the farmers better. Very few people in Goa realise that the degree course in agriculture also includes animal sciences. Thus students know how to determine the weight of a cow or buffalo and the names of the body parts; how to grow fodder crops, make silage and also grow azolla as a protein supplement for cattle feed. The first batch has not actually milked cows as the current batches are doing: by hand and by using the milking machine. However, the student groups helped the veterinary assistants to conduct the foot & mouth disease (FMD) vaccination campaign in the designated villages as well as at animal shelters. They are enjoying the experience and the farmers are happy to host them. http://www.navhindtimes.in/what-is-sri-rice/

Swapping crops could help India save water, improve nutrition Akshay Naik 16 July 2018

A recently published study in the scientific journal Science Advances, suggests replacing rice and wheat with ‗less thirsty‘ crops to dramatically reduce water demand in India and at the same time improve nutrition.It has been projected that India will need to feed approximately 394 million more people by 2050, which will be a significant challenge. Researchers from Columbia University in the US, say nutrient deficiencies across India are already widespread with 30% or more of the population being anemic. There are several regions that are frequently water stressed and with evidence that monsoons are delivering less rainfall than previous years, it does seems that India has a difficult problem on its hands.

In the 1960s, a boom in rice and wheat production helped reduce hunger throughout the country. Researchers say this ‗Green Revolution‘ as it‘s known, affected the environment by increasing demands on the water supply, greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from fertilizers. ―If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it is unclear how long we could keep that practice up,‖ said Kyle Davis from Columbia University and lead author on the study. He further added, ―That is why we are thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals.‖ The researchers studied six major grains currently grown in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet. For each of those crops, they compared yield, water use and nutritional values such as calories, protein, iron and zinc. The study found that rice is the least water efficient cereal when it comes to producing nutrients and that wheat has been the main driver in increasing irrigation stresses. The potential benefits of replacing rice with alternative crops varied widely between different regions, depending on how much the crops could rely on rainfall instead of irrigation. However, the researchers found that replacing rice with maize, finger miller, pearl millet or sorghum could reduce irrigation water demand by 33 percent, while improving production of iron by 27 percent and zinc by 13 percent. In some instances, those improvements came with a slight reduction in the number of calories produced, because rice has been bred to have higher yields per unit of land. In some regions there is a trade off between water and land use efficiency, but Davis thinks that with more attention from scientists, the alternative crops could develop higher yields as well. ―For now, rice replacement is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but something that should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for each district,‖ he said.

Along with Davis, the team consists of Davide Danilo Chiarelli and Maria Cristina Rulli from Politecnico di Milano in Italy, Ashiwini Chhatre from the Indian School of Business, Brian Richter from Sustainable Waters, Deepti Singh from Columbia University and Washington State University and Ruth DeFries from Columbia University. They primarily want to study Indian food preferences, to see if people would be willing to incorporate more of these alternative cereals into their diets.

―There are places around India where these crops continue to be consumed in pretty large amounts and there were even more a generation or two ago, so it‘s still within the cultural memory,‖ says Davis. There has been gradual increase in support for alternative grains in India. Some states have already started pilot programs to grow more of these crops and the government is calling 2018 the ‗Year of Millets‘.

―If the government is able to get people more interested in eating millets, the production will organically respond to that,‖ says Davis. ―If you have more demand, then people will pay a better price for it and farmers will be more willing to plant it.‖

The Indian Monsoon is a two-faced Janus: Both clean and dirty Bhanu Sridharan (IANS) 16 July 2018

Every year during the dry season between December and March, a dirty haze appears over South Asia and China. It is a potent mixture of pollutants borne out of wood burning and crop burning, vehicular emissions and industrial combustion, christened the Asian Brown Cloud.It is a phenomenon that is too familiar to North India in the winter, thanks to the accompanying respiratory ailments, headaches and allergic reactions. Yet, come monsoon, the brown cloud disappears. What happens to the pollutants in the rainy season? A question that puzzled researchers for two decades has now been answered. Scientists from Germany and Cyprus have discovered that the Southwest Monsoon (also called the Indian Monsoon) cleanses a large chunk of pollutants that collect in the atmosphere. But it is not all benign -- the monsoon also spreads pollution from South Asia, to other parts of the world. Jos Lelieveld, the lead researcher and the head of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Germany called the Indian monsoon, two-faced, likening it to Janus, the Roman god of duality, in his paper published in the journal Science. Every year, at the end of the summer, dark clouds gather moisture from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal and move towards land. This is the approaching monsoon. But above this stormy layer, is an

accompanying layer of cloud-free, clear atmosphere. This is called the anti-cyclone. Every monsoon comes with a larger layer of anti-cyclone. While the monsoon air currents draw moisture inwards, building a dense layer of rain clouds, air currents in the anti-cyclone circulates outwards and spreads clouds and moisture over a large area. So, while the monsoon covers most of the sub-continent, its accompanying anticyclone covers a much larger area, extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.This is important, because the extent of coverage indicates how far anything caught up in these weather systems can spread. Along with moisture, the Indian monsoon collects pollutants that have been sitting in the atmosphere throughout the dry season and pushes much of it higher up the atmosphere, into the anticyclone.Lelieveld and his colleagues set out to find out what happened to these pollutants once they reached the anticyclone. The researchers travelled along the western part of the anticyclone, which is the sky between Cyprus and the Maldives, at an altitude between 9,000-15,000 metres above land. For two months, the researchers measured an assortment of pollutants including Nitrogen, Sulphur and Hydrogen oxides in the anti-cyclone. It turns out the Indian monsoon pushed most of the pollutants away from our immediate atmosphere into the anticyclone. A lot of these pollutants were then being neutralised, i.e. the toxic parts of the pollutants were being removed by chemicals that were naturally present in the anticyclone. What remained was then pushed back down towards the monsoon, where it was washed clean by rains. Suvarna Fadnavis, an atmospheric scientist from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) in Pune, said that the study revealed important new findings. "Thus, the monsoon plays an important role in cleaning the atmosphere [of pollutants] (chemically processed and removed from the atmosphere)," she said. Clearly, the Indian monsoon was important for more than just water. But what if the monsoon itself were threatened?

Studies have indicated that monsoon could be threatened by two major forces, both man-made. One is climate change and the other increasingly being investigated is aerosol pollution. Aerosols are any solid particles that have been compressed into a gas like state, helping them rise rapidly. Vinoj V., an assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bhubaneshwar, pointed out that aerosol pollution, which has been increasing every year, could weaken the monsoon. "The hypothesis is that large amounts of aerosols over the monsoon domain especially the oceans will reduce the surface temperatures to the north of the Indian Ocean where most of these aerosols are present," he said.

Aerosol particles could reduce the heat from the sun, cooling the oceans and reducing the amount of evaporation from the oceans. "This, in turn, is expected to reduce the moisture transport from the ocean in to the land. In such a situation, rainfall will reduce," Vinoj explained.However, these conclusions are not cut-and-dried according to both Fadnavis and Vinoj, who pointed out that there were several types of aerosols in the atmosphere and all their effects were not yet understood. Whether aerosols or climate change, if the monsoon weakened, would it affect its ability to clean pollutants? "Yes," said Lelieveld, adding simply that "the removal will become less efficient." Vinoj, however, felt that much would depend on the pattern of rain. "For example, continuous low intensity rainfall is more efficient in removing pollutants than a few episodes of high rainfall events," he explained. "More rainfall over source regions may be more efficient in removing pollution than regions far from sources. So, it's possible that pollutant concentrations will increase if rainfall decreases." Even if it remains strong, the study shows that we can't depend solely on the monsoon to deal with our pollution woes. Pollutants that escaped the neutralising chemicals in the anticyclone, travelled even higher up the atmosphere, according to Lelieveld and his colleagues. This is where the anticyclone's spread matters. Remaining pollutants were pushed by the anticyclone's outward bound currents and spread across the globe. Much of the leftover pollutants descended back into the breathable atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean near North America, Africa and the Mediterranean. Some even made it to the Poles.

Pollution is typically viewed as local problem, but this study seems to show that local emissions could have global impacts. While North America and Europe had reduced their levels of air pollution substantially, they could still be dealing with pollution from industries and coal burning in the developing nations of South Asia. "With the understanding that air pollution is also related to climate on different spatio-temporal scales, it has truly become a global problem," mused Vinoj. "Therefore, collective efforts by nations in solving the local pollution problems may have global and regional benefits in the long run."

SCIENTISTS: JUNK FOOD IS ADDICTIVE Jan Hartman | July 16, 2018 | Science |

Scientists from the USA showed a number of foods that can trigger addiction is comparable to drug.The specialists of the University of Colorado conducted a study on the effects of 35 different foods and dishes per person. In the end, I have compiled a list of delicious treats, the use of which it is better to limit. This list included: chocolate, pizza, chips, ice cream, French fries, soda, cheese, cakes, burgers, and other delicious but not healthy food. The so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2022;junk foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2013;The experts made a rating of the products which they think can be consumed in any quantity, and it will not cause addiction Such as: beans, carrots, cucumbers, apples, strawberries, bananas, corn, brown rice, trout, broccoli.Scientists said that these products are wholesome, low-calorie and ideal for diet.Most people acquired a psychological dependence on food.Fun, mood improvement can be obtained not only from food. However, we all live in a hurry, choose the quick and easy means of food.

U.S.-UK Trade Deal Could Emerge Post Brexit

By Jesica Kincaid

WASHINGTON, DC -- President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May announced on July 13 that the United States and the United Kingdom plan to enter into a free trade agreement following the UK's departure from the European Union March 2019. This comes after conflicting remarks the U.S. President made in an interview with The Sun newspaper the day before, where he said the current Brexit deal under negotiation by the Prime Minister would be unacceptable and would lead to the U.S. dealing with the EU rather than the UK. Of a potential bilateral free trade agreement, Trump most recently said, "The United States looks forward to finalizing a great bilateral trading agreement with the United Kingdom. This is an

incredible opportunity for our two countries and we will seize it full." May agreed, stating, "Turning to our economic cooperation with mutual investment between us already over $1 trillion, we want to go further. We agreed today that as the UK leaves the European Union, we will pursue an ambitious U.S.-UK free trade agreement." A bilateral trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom would be very beneficial to the U.S. agriculture sector. "The United States currently averages 55,000 tons of rice exports to the EU per year, with half of that destined for the UK," said USA Rice COO Bob Cummings. "We need to support policies like a U.S.-UK trade deal that will enhance access for U.S. rice after Brexit, as well as keep our eye on the transition period between the time the UK exits the EU and when the country can conclude its own trade agreements. The past decade has been difficult for U.S. rice in Europe, and a bilateral deal with the UK is a great opportunity to strengthen our largest market in the region." USA RICE DAILY

Kharif sowing gathers pace, but still down 10% over last year

MSP hike and Metâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast of more rain to boost plantings in the coming days NEW DELHI, JULY 13 With a revival in monsoon and the rains becoming widespread, kharif sowing across the country has picked up momentum as compared to last week, but the area covered so far this season remains 10 per cent lower than the corresponding period last year.

Slow pace According to latest kharif crop sowing data released by the Agriculture Ministry on Friday, the planting was taken up on around 502 lakh hectares (lh) as against 557 lh covered during the same period last season. But the sowing is yet to cross the half of what is normal for a year. The announcement of minimum support prices (MSP) for kharif crops last week and the improved monsoon activity across the country seemed to have a positive impact as the shortfall in sowing came down to 10 per cent from 14 per cent last week.

Rice, pulses gain The area under rice cultivation increased to 116.92 lh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 8 per cent lower than 126.92 lh in the same week last year. Among the major crops that have seen an increase over that in the previous season are urad and soyabean, whose acreages were up 15.17 and 3.57 per cent respectively.

Oilseeds, as a whole, is still 13.42 per cent lower at 63.59 lh as compared to same week last year. Pulses, a laggard till last week, covered a higher area this week to bring down the shortfall to less than 10 per cent. The area under pulses so far was 60.56 lh (66.97 lh).

Cotton scenario There are signs that cotton cultivation is picking in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, even though there was a drastic shortfall in area under the fibre in Gujarat. Cotton acreage in the country was at 77.5 lakh hectares as of today compared to 90.8 lakh hectares. Despite many minor millet crops getting a better MSP, it surprisingly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t reflect in the cropped area. As compared to 66.27 lh in the previous season, coarse cereals were planted only on 57.35 lh till this week.

Storage levels Meanwhile, water levels in major 91 reservoirs in the country was 38.16 billion cubic metre (BCM), which is 20 per cent of the total storage capacity. The water levels are 4 per cent higher than the same period last year. This increase is mainly on account of substantial increase in storage levels reported in the reservoirs in south India. Storage in the water bodies in southern India is 16.66 BCM, double than what was reported during the corresponding period last year, an official release said. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/agri-business/kharif-sowing-gathers-pace-but-stilldown-10-over-last-year/article24413588.ece

Carl Brothers Honored for Five Decades of Service to the Rice Industry Stuttgart Daily Leader Jul 16, 2018 at 8:33 PM-Carl Brothers received a standing ovation from his peers yesterday at the USA Rice Business Meeting General Session where he was recognized for his contributions to the U.S. industry on the eve of his retirement from Riceland Foods after 53 years of service.

―Carl‘s impact on the rice industry is so large, it is difficult to quantify, but I think it‘s safe to say the USA Rice Federation would not exist as it does today, were it not for Carl‘s passion, foresight, and vision,‖ said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward in her remarks about Brothers. Hired at Riceland in 1965 as a Sortex Operator, Brothers worked his way up to his present position as the company‘s senior vice president and chief operating officer. Throughout his career, he has guided Riceland‘s expansion in export markets, rice flour, rice bran oil, and many other areas with dedication and strong leadership. Always taking an active role in the Rice Millers‘ Association, Brothers served as the chairman in 1988 and again in 1997. In 1994, he was instrumental in bringing together all the U.S. rice organizations under the mantel of the USA Rice Federation and served as the umbrella organization‘s second chairman from 1996 to 1998. Brothers‘ expertise, experience, and insight have always been sought after. As a long-serving member of the Agriculture Policy Advisory Committee and the Agriculture Technical Advisory Committee, Carl advised several U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture on trade policy, provided technical advice on specific commodities and products, and conferred on the negotiations of free trade agreements to open markets in Mexico, Canada, Japan, Europe, Central America, and most recently Colombia. These agreements have led to millions of dollars in export business for the United States and millions of dollars for rice research. The U.S. rice industry recognized Carl‘s leadership in 2009 with the industry‘s Life Time Achievement Award. ―The thing that stands out most to me about Carl‘s long career is the way he carries himself, especially when he is representing the U.S. rice industry,‖ Ward said. ―He is the embodiment of professionalism, civility, and class. I could always count on Carl for an honest opinion, a thorough analysis, or a practical solution. And I always found his advice invaluable.‖ http://www.stuttgartdailyleader.com/news/20180716/carl-brothers-honored-for-five-decades-of-serviceto-rice-industry

Rice prices up 10% in end-June Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine Star) - July 15, 2018 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Despite the continuous arrival of imports, farm gate prices of paddy rice continued the upward trend, posting an increase of 10 percent at the end of June. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said the average price of palay went up to P21.39 per kilogram from P19.36 per kg last year. Week-on-week, prices were also up one percent. The average wholesale price of well-milled rice rose eight percent to P41.58 per kg year-on-year while week-on-week prices inched up by 0.5 percent. On the other hand, the average retail price of well-milled rice increased to P44.62 per kg, up seven percent year-on-year.The wholesale price of regular-milled rice was P38.23 per kg, 10 percent higher than the previous year. Its average retail price also went up nine percent to P41 per kg. State-run National Food Authority (NFA) earlier said prices would start to stabilize at the beginning of June but delays on the unloading of vessels due to weather disturbances slowed down the release of cheaper imported rice in the markets.

NFA rice serves as stabilizer in the market to avoid jacking up of the prices of commercial rice.The state-run agency expects consumers to feel the decrease in prices by about P1 to P2 per kg starting next month.

According to the PSA, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice inventory shrank by eight percent to 2.36 million metric tons (MT) last month. This is also 19 percent below the previous monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s stock level of 2.9 million MT.Meanwhile, farm gate prices of white corn grain grew 16 percent to P15.93 per kg. Week-on-week, prices were down less than one percent. Prices of yellow corn grain climbed by 25 percent year-on-year to P14.05 per kg and increased one percent on a weekly basis https://www.philstar.com/business/agriculture/2018/07/15/1833525/rice-prices-10-endjune#BKEqpb1DMbebchL3.99

Vietnam wins contract to export rice to RoK 17.07.2018 | UkrAgroConsult A Vietnamese company has won a bid to export 60,000 tonnes of Japonica brown rice to the Republic of Korea (RoK), defeating competition from rivals of China, Thailand and Australia.Vietnam wins contract to export rice to RoK, vietnam economy, business news, vn news, vietnamnet bridge, english news,

Tan Long's rice processing plant According to members of the Vietnam Food Association (VFA), Tan Long Group JSC is the only Vietnamese firm to win a contract in the RoK. In addition, Tan Long Group has also won a bid to export 2,800 tonnes of long grain white rice at the same time.This was the first time a private Vietnamese firm beat international businesses from China, Thailand and Australia to win the contract providing rice to the RoK under the Government bidding process.

According to local businesses in the rice production industry, Japonica rice exported to the RoK has had export prices at about 700 USD per tonne. This is also the highest price for Vietnamese rice exports.The deadline for delivery of 60,000 tonnes to the RoK‘s port is September 15. So far this year, the Tan Long Group has won bids to export 110,000 tonnes of Japonica rice to the Government of the RoK, including 50,000 tonnes in May.They also said reducing the rice export business conditions of the Government has supported private enterprises to promote dynamism and competitive ability, to seek markets and to reduce dependence on the Vietnam Food Association and large businesses such as Vinafood.In 2017, Vietnam won two rounds of bids in the RoK and delivered a total of about 41,000 tonnes by the Tan Long Group, reported the Tien Phong (Vanguard) newspaper.The RoK is a fastidious market and has strict regulations on quality and delivery time. Japonica brown rice has been grown in Vietnam for about 10 years. The rice is high quality, but consumption has not been stable.According to Tan Long Group, it has set up a production chain of this product to always ensure supply of high quality rice.From 2017 until now, Tan Long Group has cooperated with agricultural cooperatives in the Mekong Delta provinces to buy Japonica rice and to participate in the RoK Government‘s bids to export this product to the RoK.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said Vietnam‘s rice exports in the first six months of 2018 were estimated at 3.56 million tonnes, earning 1.81 billion USD, up 25 percent in volume and 42 percent in value over the same period of 2017.China was still Vietnam‘s largest rice export market, accounting for 30 percent of the total exports. Following was Indonesia with 19 percent of the total.During the first six months, Vietnam had seen significant changes in quality of export rice, according to the ministry. http://www.blackseagrain.net/novosti/vietnam-wins-contract-to-export-rice-to-rok

"Instead of boasting about the past achievements, the ICAR should focus on addressing the present and future challenges," the minister said while addressing the 90th foundation day ceremony of the ICAR. Representational image. Reuters.

Much of the ICAR research so far was on raising farm output to reduce the country's dependence on imports but going forward the institute should concentrate on raising crop yields, increasing nutrition level, developing climate resilient crop varieties besides attracting youth in the farm sector, he said. The efforts should be towards improving the farming and farmers' income, he said. Highlighting measures taken to boost farmers' income, the minister said the government had recently raised MSP of kharif crops that is 50 percent higher than the cost of production. Echoing the views, Minister of State for Agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, "We have become self-sufficient in most crops except one oilseeds/edibles oils. One big challenge before us is reducing import of edible oils." Over Rs 70,000 crore worth of edible oil is imported every year. "It is not the time to sit quiet. We need to move ahead and address this challenge," he said. ICAR Director General Trilochan Mohapatra said the institute has released 189 varieties in last six month. Processable varieties in tomato (H391) and onion (HR6) have been released, which will help boost farmers income. He said that innovation and support of agri-scientists are required for achieving the government's vision of doubling farmers' income. https://www.firstpost.com/business/india-earns-rs-18000-cr-per-year-from-export-of-basmati-rice-saysagriculture-minister-radha-mohan-singh-4753471.html

The MSP increase will totally erode India‘s price competitiveness,‖ said an official from a major agricommodity exporting firm. (Express Archive)

Much of India‘s non-basmati exports — which have zoomed from just one lakh tonnes to over 8.6 million tonnes (mt) in this decade — are to African nations, both West (Benin, Nigeria, Niger, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Guinea and Senegal) and East (Somalia and Djibouti), and also to Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. These are poorer countries relative to West Asia, UK, Europe, US, Canada and Australia, the main markets for the more premium basmati rice. In 2017-18, India shipped out 4.05 mt of basmati rice, which was less than half the quantity of non-basmati (8.63 mt), but of higher value (Rs 26,841.19 crore versus Rs 22,927.06 crore for the latter). ―Unlike basmati, non-basmati rice is a highly price-sensitive segment. The MSP increase will totally erode India‘s price competitiveness,‖ said an official from a major agri-commodity exporting firm. Currently, long-grain (6 mm) parboiled rice with 5% broken grain content – which is what India largely exports – is quoting at $385-390 per tonne free-on-board (FOB, or the point of shipment). Paddy yields roughly two-thirds rice, with the milling costs – including salaries, interest and overheads – more or less recovered from sale of husk and bran. If paddy is sourced from Chhattisgarh, Odisha or Andhra Pradesh at an MSP of Rs 1,550 per quintal, the equivalent price of milled rice will be around Rs 23.25 per kg. After adding commission fees, local levies and transport charges of Rs 1.25, the delivered cost at Kakinada port will come to Rs 24.50/kg. On top of this are ―fobbing costs‖ (towards bagging, warehousing, inspection, customs clearance and cargo handling/stevedoring) of Rs 1.50, which takes the final FOB price to Rs 26/kg or $380 per tonne at Rs 68.5-to-the-dollar. But with the new paddy MSP of Rs 1,750 per quintal, the basic rice cost itself will go up by Rs 3/kg or nearly $44 per tonne. ―At this rate, we will be completely priced out. Today, even longgrain white raw rice with 5% brokens from Thailand is selling at below $400 per tonne FOB,‖ the earlier-quoted exporter pointed out. The implications of it aren‘t small. India produces about 110 mt of rice, out of which 36-38 mt is procured by government agencies and 12.5-12.7 mt is exported. The higher MSP is not applicable on basmati paddy and would anyway make little difference to the four-mt exports of

this premium rice. But to the extent the 8.5-8.7 mt of non-basmati rice exports are affected, there will be that much of surplus grain in the domestic market, which may end up in government warehouses. This, when public rice stocks, at 23.25 mt as on July 1, are way above the normative buffer of 13.54 mt required to be maintained before the start of the new agricultural year. ―The entire 8.5-8.7 mt exports may not take a hit, but at least 3 mt or so can be impacted. The two offsetting factors could be a further depreciation of the rupee and a bumping up of prices by Indian exporters,‖ noted Ashok Gulati, agriculture economist and former chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices. India, according to US Department of Agriculture data, accounted for 12.8 mt out of the total global rice trade of 48.98 mt in 2017-18, making it the world‘s largest exporter, ahead of Thailand (10.5 mt), Vietnam (7 mt), Pakistan (4.2 mt), Myanmar (3.5 mt) and the US (3.05 mt). ―Being a large exporter, India can set prices. But the ability to pass on the higher MSP is limited by the low purchasing power, especially of African countries who may even switch to cheaper cereal substitutes like cassava. Besides, Thailand and Vietnam may respond by ramping up their supplies and grabbing our market share,‖ added Gulati. But there could also be a third possibility – of rice meant for the public distribution system (PDS) getting diverted for exports. This, if trade sources are to be believed, is already taking place. Given that the Central issue price for rice under the National Food Security Act is just Rs 3/kg – states like AP, Telangana, Odisha and Chhattisgarh are offering it at Rs 1/kg – the incentives for diversion are obviously huge. ―PDS rice typically has 20-25 % brokens. There are traders/millers who manage to get these through collusion with food department officials and transporters, which they then convert into 5% brokens (by adding unbroken or head rice bought from the market) and sortex (to remove discoloured and damaged grain) for achieving export quality,‖ explained an exporter, who, however, couldn‘t quantify the extent of such PDS-diverted shipments. Leading non-basmati exporters from India include the Singapore-based Olam International and also not-so-well-known domestic players such as Satyam Balajee Rice Industries, Pattabhi Agro Foods, HRMM Agro Overseas, Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar Exports and Sukhbir Agro Energy. https://indianexpress.com/article/india/msp-increase-basmati-rice-export-paddy-5259673/
