Manila. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has directed the country's food security agency to build up its rice buffer stock to the equivalent of 60 days of national consumption, by buying more locally-produced grains and imported varieties, the agriculture minister said on Tuesday (17/04).

2

A 60-day buffer stock would be equivalent to a reserve of as much as 1.92 million tonnes. The National Food Authority (NFA), the agency in charge of ensuring stable rice supply, had an inventory of only 43,500 tons, or less than 2 days of national consumption, as of last month.

The NFA is under increasing pressure to beef up its rice inventory, which has been almost depleted in the absence of fresh purchases.The Philippines, a frequent rice importer, saw domestic prices of the staple grain increase in recent weeks as the NFA could not provide the local market with cheap rice.

Higher rice prices added pressure to Philippine inflation, which quickened to an annual pace of 4.3 percent in March, the fastest in at least five years. "Buy from the Filipino farmers first and if you could not find sufficient stocks to be bought at the price approved by the NFA Council, that's the time you source it through importation," Duterte told NFA management on Monday night, according to Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol.

In a meeting with the NFA Council, Duterte also directed Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez to help provide funds for NFA's local rice procurement program, saying he would like the agency's warehouses "filled to the roof" to ensure sufficient supply, Piñol said.

The council, composed of government economic managers, has approved the purchase by NFA of 250,000 tonnes via a tender open to international traders and suppliers, for delivery starting May, ahead of the lean domestic harvest season from July.

The NFA is also set to buy another 250,000-tonne volume in a government-to-government deal with Vietnam or Thailand, for delivery starting next month.Duterte has also directed the NFA to increase its buying price for local rice so it could rack up its needed buffer stocks, Piñol said in a statement posted on his Facebook account. http://jakartaglobe.id/international/philippines-duterte-orders-state-food-agency-boost-ricereserves/http://jakartaglobe.id/international/philippines-duterte-orders-state-food-agency-boost-ricereserves/

There was a time when rice was Nepal’s major export item INJINA PANTHI / APRIL 18, 2018

Farmers in a Parsa village filling paddy in gunny sacks in December 2015.

Photo: Sujit Mainali Over the past few years, media reports have been stating that Nepal‘s rice import has been increasing. But there was a time when Nepal used to export rice.Nepal had formally started exporting rice in 1974 AD. The government had established seven companies specifically for

8

exporting rice. These companies were: Mechi Dhanchamal Niryat Company Limited, Koshi Anchal Dhanchamal Niryat Company Limited, Sagarmatha Dhanchamal Niryat Company, Janakpur Anchal Dhanchamal Niryat Company, Narayani Anchal Dhanchamal Niryat Company Limited, Lumbini Anchal Dhanchamal Niryat Company Limited, and Sudoor Paschimanchal Dhanchamal Niryat Company limited. Later, in 1975 August, yet another company, Seti Mahakali Dhanchamal Niryat Company, was set up.

In these companies, the government and cooperatives had 51 percent stake while the remaining 49 percent stake was held by businessmen, mill owners and farmers.

Several news reports and articles published in Gorkhapatra between 1974 and 1975 mentioned that the agriculture sector‘s share in the total national export was 65 percent with rice being the major export commodity. Since rice dominated the export basket, the government set up these companies to facilitate export.

Rice comprised 40 percent of Nepal‘s total exports (Nepal‘s Rice Exports, Ramesh Munkarmi, Gorkhapatra Daily, December 15, 1974). In the article, the writer has recommended that Nepal needs to explore market for its rice in order to balance its imports and exports.

On August 23, 1975, a year after their establishment, the rice import-export companies‘ progress report was as follows. These companies exported rice mainly to India.

Evasco out as head of NFA Council By: Leila B. Salaverria - Reporter / @LeilasINQ Philippine Daily Inquirer / 07:24 AM April 18, 2018

11

Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. with President Duterte. MALACAÑANG PHOTO Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. is out of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council, following a row with NFA Administrator Jason Aquino over rice importation.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said on Tuesday that Evasco would no longer head the NFA Council because President Rodrigo Duterte decided on Monday night to put the NFA under the Department of Agriculture, along with the Philippine Coconut Authority and the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority.

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol is expected to head the new NFA Council.

The council, the policymaking body of the NFA, will also no longer include the Development Bank of the Philippines, which will be replaced by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Friction with NFA In his statement read by Roque, Evasco alluded to the friction that the council had with the NFA and the demolition job he had faced. ―It has been a challenge to be part of these reform agenda in the NFA and in the government at large, especially with the effort of some quarters to discredit my name and that of the council,‖ Evasco said.

But instituting the reforms were worth the effort, he said.

Evasco said he hoped his successor would continue the programs to ensure that the transactions of the NFA would be aboveboard. ―With the President‘s decision to transfer the governance to the next council chair, I believe that NFA can now move forward toward ensuring that corrupt, exclusive and

12

debt-ridden practices during the past administrations will not reign in the next transactions to pass,‖ he said.

Evasco thanked President Duterte for giving him the chance to head the council and said he respected his decision.

He also noted that in his more than 20 years in public service, he had never been charged with or investigated for any misdeeds or corrupt practices.

Rough ride Evasco‘s term as head of the NFA Council had not been a smooth ride.

Last year, Mr. Duterte fired Evasco‘s deputy, Undersecretary Maia Chiara Halmen Valdez, for supposedly approving the importation of rice during the harvest season.

Valdez said then that the decision was approved by the NFA Council.

She issued a statement saying Evasco‘s office was under attack.

Valdez accused Piñol of meddling in the affairs of Evasco‘s office, and criticized Aquino for refusing to attend council meetings and defying its decision to extend the deadline for rice imports.

She also said Piñol and Aquino were able to go directly to Mr. Duterte, while the NFA Council‘s request for a dialogue with the President, which was coursed through his special assistant, Christoper Go, had been unsuccessful.

The people lose Opposition Senators Francis Pangilinan and Bam Aquino questioned the removal of Evasco from the NFA Council.

In a statement, Pangilinan said Evasco‘s removal made Aquino the ―clear winner‖ and the people ―the loser‖ in the attempt at reforms in the NFA.

13

Pangilinan questioned why Evasco was removed when he had a good track record and had investigated illegal activities in the NFA. ―Where is [the] government‘s sincerity in going after the corrupt if its allies who have clean objectives and are opposed to corruption are not being heeded?‖ he said.

Pangilinan also said he did not agree with Mr. Duterte‘s decision to put the NFA under the agriculture department because this could lead to more mismanagement at the NFA, which could affect the rice supply.

In a separate statement, Aquino said Evasco‘s removal was a ―loss in our fight against corruption in the importation and management‖ of the rice supply.

Aquino said Evasco provided checks and balances in the NFA. ―Without the checks and balances that Secretary Evasco endeavored to implement, corrupt deals will continue unpunished,‖ he said.

Artificial rice shortage Evasco earlier this month accused the NFA of creating an artificial rice shortage by announcing that its buffer stock had dwindled to an amount good for less than half a day for the entire country.

Evasco said the artificial shortage could force private traders to hoard their stock in anticipation of higher prices.

He said there was enough rice in the country.

He also ordered an audit of the NFA‘s rice procurement and release of supply.

The NFA and the NFA Council had also disagreed on conditions for the importation of rice.

14

But Mr. Duterte has since directed Aquino to go ahead with rice importation and to ignore the NFA Council.

Roque said on Tuesday that Mr. Duterte had given the authority to import 250,000 metric tons of rice in a government-to-government arrangement to beef up the government‘s buffer stock.

Subsequent importation will be done through auction. It will be supervised by the Executive Council Committee headed by the Office of the President. —WITH A REPORT FROM CHRISTINE O. AVENDAÑO

Solutions sought to drought, saline intrusion in Mekong Delta VNA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2018 - 10:56:00

At the workshop (Source: VNA)

Bac Lieu (VNA) – Measures to deal with drought and saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta region were discussed during a workshop in Bac Lieu province on April 14.

Orgnaised by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper, the event drew experts, scientists and managers from research institutes and universities, and representatives from regional localities such as Bac Lieu, Soc Trang, Hau Giang, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh and Kien Giang. Experts assessed solutions to adapt to drought and saltwater intrusion in this year‘s dry season, while discussing the efficiency of transformative economic models that have been implemented to address the problem. Coastal provinces in the Mekong Delta are mostly affected by salinity intrusion and climate change. Scientists said the best solution is to plant crops able to adapt to climate change.

Associate Professor, PhD. Vo Cong Thanh from Can Tho University stressed the need to pay more attention to building infrastructure.

Climate change response infrastructure projects must be effective, he said, adding that they should also not affect the environment.

Duong Thanh Trung, Chairman of the People‘s Committee of Bac Lieu province, said the locality will restructure many production areas.

The province is concentrating on transforming ineffective rice production areas into the rice/shrimp rotation model, he noted, adding that nearly 40,000 ha is applying the model.

16

The locality will replicate this model, while stepping up the transfer of science and technology and apply effective rice growing models, he said.

The Mekong Delta, the country‘s largest rice granary, comprises 12 provinces and one centrally-run city with a total area of 40,000 square kilometres and a combined population of 18 million. It has been tasked with ensuring the country‘s food security.

However, it is also one of the most affected by climate change, rising-sea level and saltwater intrusion. By mid-2016, the Mekong Delta faced serious drought and saline intrusion. This year‘s dry season, drought, saltwater intrusion and riverbank and coastline erosion, is also extreme.

At present, saline intrusion is infiltrating regional localities, affecting a large area of rice and vegetables.VNA https://en.vietnamplus.vn/solutions-sought-to-drought-saline-intrusion-in-mekong-delta/129728.vnp

Rice production seen hitting nearly 20 MMT this year

By Jasper Emmanuel Y. Arcalas & Bernadette D. Nicolas April 17, 2018

18

Philippine rice production could rise by nearly 3.11 percent to a record-high of nearly 20 million metric tons (MMT) on the back of higher yield and better farm-gate prices, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).

Despite this, the United Nations‘s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) projected that Philippine rice imports this year would expand by 40 percent to 1.4 MMT. ―This year rice production is expected to grow by about 600,000 metric tons [MT], stimulated mainly by good palay-buying prices, favorable climate and the increase in the adoption of good quality and hybrid seeds by farmers,‖ Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol said on Tuesday.

Rice output last year grew by 9.3 percent to 19.28 MMT, from 17.63 MMT recorded in 2016, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). The 9.3-percent increase in palay output last year allowed the country to reach a 96-percent selfsufficiency in rice, according to the DA. ―Last year the country posted its highest rice harvest in history at 19.28 million metric tons, which reduced the country‘s dependence on imported rice from over 2 million metric tons in 2010 to only about 600,000 to 800,000 metric tons this year,‖ Piñol said.

More imports The FAO said in a report published recently that Philippine rice imports this year would expand by nearly 400,000 MT from the previous year‘s level. This, the report noted, reflects Manila‘s efforts to beef up the buffer stocks of the National Food Authority (NFA).

The expected hike in Manila‘s rice purchase abroad would drive its total cereal imports this year to a ―near-record‖ level of 7.2 MMT, 5.88 percent higher than the 6.8 MMT recorded in the previous year, according to the FAO.

19

The FAO estimated that wheat imports in the July 2017 to July 2018 marketing year, would ―remain close‖ to last year‘s high level at 5.5 MMT, ―owing to continuing strong demand for both high-quality wheat for milling and low quality wheat for feed.‖ ―Maize imports are forecast to surpass last year‘s below-average level and reach 430,000 MT, reflecting expectations of a decreased output,‖ the FAO said.

In a meeting on Monday, the NFA Council (NFAC) has given the go signal to import 250,000 MT of rice via the government-to-government mode to replenish the stockpile of the NFA. Presidential Spokesman Harry L. Roque Jr. told reporters in a media briefing in Boracay that the volume would arrive in a month and would be sold at P27 per kilogram (kg). ―Subsequent importation is to be done by government-to-private [G2P] or auction and importation will be implemented or supervised by the Executive Council Committee headed by the Office of the President,‖ Roque said.

The Executive Council Committee members include representatives from the NFA, DA and Department of Finance, as well as the Office of the President.

NFA to DA Instead of abolishing the NFAC, the highest policy-making body of the NFA, the council has been reorganized, according to Roque. He also announced that three agencies—the NFA, Philippine Coconut Authority and Fertilizer and Pesticides Authority—have been transferred back to the DA. ―Because the NFA is under the DA anew, Cabinet Secretary [Leoncio B.]Evasco [Jr.] will no longer be part of the NFA Council,‖ Roque said.

20

Asked if Piñol will head the NFAC, Roque said an executive order (EO) reattaching the three agencies back to the DA will still need to be issued first. ―The composition of the board will have to be agreed upon by the council and whoever who will lead the council will still be agreed upon so let‘s wait first for the EO.‖ But Piñol said in a separate interview ―it (heading the NFAC) follows since the NFA is now under the DA.‖ Roque also noted that part of the new NFA arrangements include the relief of council member Development Bank of the Philippines‘s (DBP), which was approved by the President.

He said this was requested by the DBP representative who noted that the bank‘s representation in the council is ―redundant‖ since the Land Bank of the Philippines is also in the NFAC. ―The Department of Social Welfare and Development [DSWD] will take the place of the DBP,‖ Roque said in a separate statement.

In a statement which was read by Roque during the briefing, Evasco said he respects the decision of the President given the encompassing nature and impact of NFA on the Filipino people and farmers.

Evasco also cited the NFAC‘s achievements, such as putting in place several policy guidelines to have a ―more transparent, competitive, inclusive and accountable‖ system of procurement and distribution of NFA rice as a result of more than 20 council meetings since his designation as NFAC chairman. ―With the President‘s decision to transfer the governance to the next council chairman, I believe that NFA can now move forward toward ensuring that corrupt, exclusive and debt-ridden practices during the past administrations will not reign in the next transactions to pass,‖ he said.

21

―I call the new chairman to take advantage of what we have started and continue the systems transformation can so that it can take root in the NFA,‖ he added https://businessmirror.com.ph/rice-production-seen-hitting-nearly-20-mmt-this-year/ News

Rice output up April 18, 2018

By JED MACAPAGAL and PAUL ICAMINA

The Department of Agriculture said rice production is expected to grow by about 600,000 metric tons this year.Emmanuel Piñol, DA secretary, said this is mainly due to good buying prices of palay, favorable climate and increase in the adoption of good quality and hybrid seeds by farmers,Piñol said last year, the country posted its highest rice harvest in history at 19.28 million metric tons (MT) which reduced the country‘s dependence on imported rice from over 2 million MT in 2010 to only about 600,000 to 800,000 MT this year.

Piñol said due to the continuing better local rice production, the Philippines‘ dependence from imported grains will be lessened since local production is expected to supply 95 percent to 96 percent of the national requirements this year.Meanwhile, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said the Philippines will increase rice production by 300,000 mt this year.USDA said global rice production for 2017/18 will reach a ―new record‖ while stocks will be the secondhighest on record.

In its Rice Outlook report released this week, the USDA raised its projection for global 2017/18 rice production by 1.2 million metric tons (milled basis) to a new record of 487.46 million mt, up 0.2 percent from the record set last year.

It said Brazil, Burma, Pakistan and the Philippines will each increase production by 300,000 mt.Global rice trade in calendar year 2018 is projected to be at a record high at 48.14 million mt.

22

Global rice exports are raised 0.8 million mt relative to the March forecast, with a 0.3-millionton increase for Thailand and 0.2-million-ton increases each for Burma India and Pakistan.At the same time, larger imports are expected for the Philippines, Ghana and Indonesia. Global rice imports are raised 0.94 million mt relative to the March estimate, to 47.55 million mt.

The large global supply combined with declining consumption has led to increased stocks in 2017/18. The projection for global ending stocks is revised upward by 1.4 million mt to 144.4 million; if realized, these will be the second-highest stocks on record, the USDA report observed.Thailand rice export quotes increased by 2 to 4 percent due to strong demand from African countries for low-grade white rice. Prices for Thailand‘s premium Jasmine rice, an aromatic variety, were quoted at $1,095 per ton in the week ending April 2, up $15 from the week ending March 26, but down $13 from the week ending March 5.

Price quotes for Vietnam‘s rice decreased 1 percent in March relative to the February average for 5-percent broken regular milled white rice. For the week ending April 2, Vietnam‘s 5-percent broken regular milled white rice was quoted at $460 per ton, up $41 from the week ending March 26, and up $45 from the week ending March 5.

NFA to boost rice reserves April 18, 2018

President Duterte has directed the National Food Authority (NFA) to build up its rice buffer stock to the equivalent of 60 days of national consumption, by buying more locally-produced grains and imported varieties, according to Emmanuel Piñol, secretary of the Department of Agriculture (DA).Duterte also retained the NFA Council but ordered its reorganization which resulted in the removal of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary and its head Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evacso from the policy making council.

23

A 60-day buffer stock would be equivalent to a reserve of as much as 1.92 million tons. The NFA had an inventory of only 43,500 tons, or less than two days of national consumption, as of last month.The NFA is under increasing pressure to beef up its rice inventory, which has been almost depleted in the absence of fresh purchases.The Philippines, a frequent rice importer, saw domestic prices of the staple grain increase in recent weeks as the NFA could not provide the local market with cheap rice.Higher rice prices added pressure to Philippine inflation, which quickened to an annual pace of 4.3 percent in March, the fastest in at least five years. ―Buy from the Filipino farmers first and if you could not find sufficient stocks to be bought at the price approved by the NFA Council, that‘s the time you source it through importation,‖ Duterte told NFA management on Monday night, according to Piñol.In a meeting with the NFA Council, Duterte also directed Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez to help provide funds for NFA‘s local rice procurement program, saying he would like the agency‘s warehouses ―filled to the roof‖ to ensure sufficient supply, Piñol said.The council, composed of government economic managers, has approved the purchase by NFA of 250,000 tons via a tender open to international traders and suppliers, for delivery starting May, ahead of the lean domestic harvest season from July.

The NFA buys the rice with 14 percent moisture content from farmers at P17 per kilo at present but some farmers prefers to sell their harvests to private traders buy the rice with 18 percent moisture for P18 to P25 per kilo. The NFA is also set to buy another 250,000-ton volume in a government-to-government deal with Vietnam or Thailand, for delivery starting next month. Duterte has also directed the NFA to increase its buying price for local rice so it could rack up its needed buffer stocks, Piñol said in a statement posted on his Facebook account. ―The DA will help NFA by identifying provinces where the buying price of palay is relatively low and the buying operations will be concentrated in those areas. The DA will also offer incentives to farmers by providing drying facilities for free in NFA buying stations, loans for cooperatives and associations who will sell their produce to NFA and free tractors, harvesters and other farm equipment to associations who could deliver a certain volume of rice to NFA,‖ Piñol said.

Reorganization President Duterte has ordered the transfer of the supervision of the NFA, Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) and Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) to the DA from the Office of the Cabinet Secretary.Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, in a briefing held in Boracay, said a corresponding executive order (EO) on the transfer of the three agencies to DA would be issued soon.

24

Roque said the President, during the NFA Council meeting that he convened and presided over in Malacanang, had stated he does not want the Office of the President being saddled with so many offices, thus approving the return of the three offices to DA. Roque said that with the return of the NFA, along with the two other agencies to the DA, ―Cabinet Secretary Leoncio B. Evasco will no longer be a part of the NFA Council.‖Evasco, who previously accused some members of the NFA of creating an artificial rice shortage situation, served as the ex-officio chairman of the NFA Council.

Reports said the President had first talked to Evasco before he announced his decision.Malacanang also said that prior to the convening of the NFA Council, Duterte also talked with Piñol and NFA administrator Jason Aquino.Evasco in a statement read by Roque, thanked the President and the NFA Council members for the chance of working with the Council for one and half years and urged the public to continue their support for a better NFA and for the national government.

Piñol, when asked if he is now the ex-officio chairman of the NFA Council which was previously held by Evasco, told media that ―it follows since NFA is now under the DA.‖Roque echoed Piñol‘s opinion but said that it is better to wait for the EO clarifying the members of the NFA Council and the transfer of the three agencies to DA.Roque also said that the President had also approved the request of the DBP to be removed from the NFA Council to be able to focus with the other projects of the bank. DBP will be replaced by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Importation During the meeting, it was also approved that the importation of the 250,000 metric tons of rice would now be done through government to government (G2G) mode which means ―imported rice is set to arrive soon.‖. The NFA Council previously recommended a government to private (G2P) mode of importation.Roque said subsequent importation is to be done by G2P or auction and importation will be implemented or supervised by the Executive Council Committee headed by the Office of the President.

Evasco out as head of NFA Council By: Leila B. Salaverria - Reporter / @LeilasINQ Philippine Daily Inquirer / 07:24 AM April 18, 2018

Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. with President Duterte. MALACAÑANG

25

Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. is out of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council,

26

following a row with NFA Administrator Jason Aquino over rice importation.Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said on Tuesday that Evasco would no longer head the NFA Council because President Rodrigo Duterte decided on Monday night to put the NFA under the Department of Agriculture, along with the Philippine Coconut Authority and the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority.

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol is expected to head the new NFA Council.The council, the policymaking body of the NFA, will also no longer include the Development Bank of the Philippines, which will be replaced by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Friction with NFA In his statement read by Roque, Evasco alluded to the friction that the council had with the NFA and the demolition job he had faced. ―It has been a challenge to be part of these reform agenda in the NFA and in the government at large, especially with the effort of some quarters to discredit my name and that of the council,‖ Evasco said.

But instituting the reforms were worth the effort, he said. Evasco said he hoped his successor would continue the programs to ensure that the transactions of the NFA would be aboveboard.―With the President‘s decision to transfer the governance to the next council chair, I believe that NFA can now move forward toward ensuring that corrupt, exclusive and debt-ridden practices during the past administrations will not reign in the next transactions to pass,‖ he said.

Evasco thanked President Duterte for giving him the chance to head the council and said he respected his decision.He also noted that in his more than 20 years in public service, he had never been charged with or investigated for any misdeeds or corrupt practices.

Rough ride Evasco‘s term as head of the NFA Council had not been a smooth ride.

Last year, Mr. Duterte

fired Evasco‘s deputy, Undersecretary Maia Chiara Halmen Valdez, for supposedly approving the importation of rice during the harvest season.Valdez said then that the decision was approved by

27

the NFA Council.She issued a statement saying Evasco‘s office was under attack.Valdez accused Piñol of meddling in the affairs of Evasco‘s office, and criticized Aquino for refusing to attend council meetings and defying its decision to extend the deadline for rice imports.

She also said Piñol and Aquino were able to go directly to Mr. Duterte, while the NFA Council‘s request for a dialogue with the President, which was coursed through his special assistant, Christoper Go, had been unsuccessful.

The people lose Opposition Senators Francis Pangilinan and Bam Aquino questioned the removal of Evasco from the NFA Council.In a statement, Pangilinan said Evasco‘s removal made Aquino the ―clear winner‖ and the people ―the loser‖ in the attempt at reforms in the NFA.Pangilinan questioned why Evasco was removed when he had a good track record and had investigated illegal activities in the NFA.―Where is [the] government‘s sincerity in going after the corrupt if its allies who have clean objectives and are opposed to corruption are not being heeded?‖ he said. Pangilinan also said he did not agree with Mr. Duterte‘s decision to put the NFA under the agriculture department because this could lead to more mismanagement at the NFA, which could affect the rice supply.

In a separate statement, Aquino said Evasco‘s removal was a ―loss in our fight against corruption in the importation and management‖ of the rice supply.Aquino said Evasco provided checks and balances in the NFA.―Without the checks and balances that Secretary Evasco endeavored to implement, corrupt deals will continue unpunished,‖ he said.

Artificial rice shortage Evasco earlier this month accused the NFA of creating an artificial rice shortage by announcing that its buffer stock had dwindled to an amount good for less than half a day for the entire country.

Evasco said the artificial shortage could force private traders to hoard their stock in anticipation of higher prices.He said there was enough rice in the country.He also ordered an audit of the NFA‘s rice procurement and release of supply.

28

The NFA and the NFA Council had also disagreed on conditions for the importation of rice.But Mr. Duterte has since directed Aquino to go ahead with rice importation and to ignore the NFA Council.Roque said on Tuesday that Mr. Duterte had given the authority to import 250,000 metric tons of rice in a government-to-government arrangement to beef up the government‘s buffer stock.

Subsequent importation will be done through auction. It will be supervised by the Executive Council Committee headed by the Office of the President.

Statement by Dr. Susan Mayne on FDA efforts to reduce consumer exposure to arsenic in rice April 17, 2018 Statement The U.S. Food and Administration takes seriously its mandate to oversee the safety of domestic and imported foods and does this, in part, through the monitoring of contaminants in food, assessing potential exposure and risk, and taking steps to reduce consumer exposure to contaminants.

FDA experts have been testing for arsenic levels in foods for decades to learn about exposure levels and study possible health risks associated with arsenic in foods. For many years, we have partnered with other federal agencies and outside organizations to work on reducing consumer exposure to arsenic in rice and rice products.

Rice cereal is a common first food for infants, who, in proportion to their body weight, consume more rice than adults. FDA researchers found that exposure to inorganic arsenic, the more toxic form of arsenic, is associated with neurocognitive deficits in children.

In 2016, the FDA took steps to reduce exposure to inorganic arsenic from infant rice cereal.

FDA scientists developed and validated a method to distinguish organic from inorganic arsenic in rice. We conducted an extensive review of the peer-reviewed literature, and published a risk assessment on the potential health impacts associated with exposure to arsenic from rice and rice products, and tested more than 1000 samples of rice and rice products.

All of these data led us to issue a draft guidance for industry, in which we identified an ―action level‖ of 100 parts per billion for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal. We asked food manufacturers to take this prudent measure, and found it is largely achievable. We continue to

29

recommend that pregnant women and infants eat a variety of grains and note that non-rice infant cereal options are available for incorporation into a well-balanced diet.

Our work to reduce consumer exposure to arsenic from rice is part of a broader initiative underway to reduce the risks posed by arsenic and other toxic metals in food. As part of the initiative, we recently created a Toxic Elements Working Groupthat has been charged with identifying, targeting and prioritizing our efforts to achieve the public health goal of reducing exposure to toxic elements to the greatest extent possible. The working group aims to further reduce exposure to toxic elements in food, cosmetics and dietary supplements. This group is made up of senior leaders and risk managers in the FDA‘s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition with experience in toxicology, chemistry, medicine, epidemiology, policy and law.

The Government Accountability Office report on arsenic in rice recognizes the work we have done in this area, and affirms that we can still do more. Two recommendations urge us to develop timelines: to update our 2016 risk assessment; and to finalize our action level draft guidance on inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal. The other two recommendations ask us to develop mechanisms for better interagency collaboration.

Overall, we concur with the recommendations with a note that an update to the FDA‘s 2016 Arsenic in Rice and Rice Products Risk Assessment Report would be dependent on any new and evolving science that would impact our conclusions in the assessment. We continually monitor the scientific literature and collaborate with partners such as the Environmental Protection Agency, whose Integrated Risk Information System Program is an example of a scientific source we watch for updates. Should new science become available impacting the conclusions of our existing risk assessment, we will certainly initiate an update to our assessment.

As for our action level draft guidance for infant rice cereal, the FDA is committed to finalizing the guidance establishing an action level for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal. We intend to finalize the guidance by the end of this calendar year.

When it comes to interagency collaboration, we are considering ways to further improve and enhance our mechanisms for when and how better to engage with our counterparts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other agencies, including with respect to the roles and responsibilities for risk assessments and methods to detect contaminants in food.

Assessing and reducing consumer exposure to arsenic in rice and rice products through rigorous scientific research is just one way the agency is working to protect public health. We will continue to both lead and follow relevant scientific advances, collaborate with our partners, and communicate with consumers about making informed nutritional decisions as we fulfill our vital public health mission.

More information on arsenic in rice can be found on fda.gov.

Dr. Susan Mayne is the director of the FDA‘s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

Raw Fruits and Vegetables May Boost Mental Health And Ease Symptoms Of Depression In addition to being power house of nutrients, raw fruits and vegetables which may help ease symptoms of depression, claims a new study, Food | NDTV Food Desk | Updated: April 18, 2018 11:44 IST

Here's another reason to load up on raw fruits and vegetables. In addition to being power house of nutrients, raw fruits and vegetables which may help ease symptoms of depression, claims a new study, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. According to the researchers, eating raw fruit and vegetables such as kiwis, bananas, apples, dark leafy greens, cucumber, and carrots

31

may lower symptoms of depression and improve mental health, more than cooked, canned and processed food.

Raw fruits and vegetables also showed improved levels of psychological well-being including a positive mood and life satisfaction amongst participants. "Our research has highlighted that the consumption of fruit and vegetables in their 'unmodified' state is more strongly associated with better mental health compared to cooked/canned/processed fruit and vegetables," said lead author Tamlin Conner, senior lecturer at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.

The researchers noted that when you cook fruits and vegetables, or have them canned and processed, the foods run the risk of losing their mental health benefits as the process potentially diminishes the nutrient levels. "Cooking and processing likely limits the delivery of nutrients that are essential for optimal emotional functioning," Conner said.

More than 400 young adults from New Zealand and the US aged 18 to 25 years were surveyed, for the study. For the longest time, studies have focused on on aspects of quantity for the consumption of fruit and vegetables (such as 5+ a day), the latest study looks into the way in which produce was prepared and consumed and how it may have its impact on mental health.

"This research is increasingly vital as lifestyle approaches such as dietary change may provide an accessible, safe and adjuvant approach to improving mental health," Conner said.Depression is a serious mental disorder and may require prolonged treatment just like any physical ailment. But there are some natural ways to curb depression. Your diet can play a crucial role in maintaining mental health. Try to include these foods in your daily diet to curb symptoms of depression.

1. Complex carbohydrates: Include foods that are rich in complex carbs in your diet like whole grains and brown rice. A lot of studies have shown that low carb diets have been linked to nervousness, anxiety, decreased concentration and insomnia.

2. Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency is often linked with mood swings and depression. Add natural sources of Vitamin D like mushrooms, eggs and soy milk to your diet.

3. Antioxidants: Antioxidants can help in reducing the oxidative stress on your mental health.

Berries and foods like cherries, grapes and dark leafy greens are some of your best bet.

32

4. Good quality proteins: Most of the protein rich foods contain an amino acid called tryptophan which helps your body make the mood boosting brain chemical, serotonin. Peas, beans, soya, lentils and paneer are good options and so are chicken and fish.

These healthy foods can really help in lifting your mood and making you feel better.

Raising the U.S. Rice Profile in Guatemala

By Sarah Moran

GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA -- Last week Asiha Grigsby, USA Rice manager of international promotion, and USA Rice contractors here, Ernesto Baron and Chef Javier Rodriguez, met with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Counselor Todd Drennan, and AttachĂŠ Sean Cox, as well as representatives of U.S. Rice Producers Association (USRPA) for a roundtable discussion of market access and promotional activities in the region. Mr. Drennan led the group in a conversation exploring the opportunities and challenges for U.S. rice as compared to corn - the most consumed grain in the region.

Currently there is a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) here that requires importers to purchase local Guatemalan rice before they can access the licenses to purchase U.S. rice duty free. In less than five years, that TRQ will be phased out which could lead to a substantial increase in U.S. rice exports to the country.

To further prepare for this, USA Rice met with current importers of U.S. rice as well as importers who plan to make the switch once the TRQs are phased out to discuss strategies to make U.S. origin rice more visible to the consumer. "USA Rice educates hundreds of individuals

33

throughout the year here via interactive promotions with student chefs, housewives, and in-store demonstrations focused on the versatility, nutritional benefits, and economic value of U.S. rice," said Chef Javier, a well-known celebrity TV chef. "We've found that these consumers really appreciate U.S. rice once they're comfortable using it in various recipes and so we want to expand this knowledge to even more Guatemalans."

Guatemalan rice production is relatively low and they rely on imports for the majority of their rice consumption needs; seventy percent of the rice that they consume comes from the United States. More than 116,000 metric tons (MT) of U.S. rice was imported in 2017, of which nearly 107,000 MT was paddy. Guatemala imports the largest amount of U.S. rice among all other countries in the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador), as the climate there severely restricts their ability to produce large amounts of high quality rice.

President Duterte to lead AFP change of command

receive welfare assistance programs from the government. RICHARD MADELO/PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO President Rodrigo Duterte will lead the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) change of command today. Outgoing chief of staff General Rey Leonardo Guerrero will turn over the AFP‘s top post to Western Mindanao Command Chief Lieutenant General Carlito Galvez.Guerrero was supposed to retire on December 17, 2017 when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 56. However, President Rodrigo Duterte extended his service for four more months.

Guerrero‘s stint in the AFP centered on focused military and intelligence operations. Under his term, over 6,000 members of the New People‘s Army were neutralized.

He closely supervised the massive rehabilitation of the war-torn Marawi city and improvements in the AFP as part of its modernization program.The turnover ceremony will be held at Camp Aguinaldo, where the outgoing chief of staff will be honored with a testimonial parade and review and will be awarded the Philippine Legion of Honor. — UNTV News & Rescue https://www.untvweb.com/news/president-duterte-to-lead-afp-change-of-command/

NFA eyes cheaper rice for Visayas, Mindanao

by UNTV | Posted on Tuesday, April 17th, 2018

FILE PHOTO: The low-priced regular milled rice from the Nueva Ecija Rice Millers Association MANILA, Philippines — After rice traders from Luzon kept their promise to provide cheaper rice supply in the markets of Metro Manila, the National Food Authority (NFA) will meet next with rice millers and traders of Visayas and Mindanao.

This is to discuss the possibility of implementing the same program in the regions.However, according to Grain Retailers Confederation of the Philippines (Grecon), they will study first the feasibility of its implementation since there are areas in Visayas and Mindanao where the prices of rice are already lower.

Moreover, the traders always consider the high-buying price of rice in an area before sending supplies.

For now, the group is focusing on Luzon just as they promised President Rodrigo Duterte.

According to Grecon, they expect that on Thursday, April 19, commercial rice priced at P39 per kilo will be distributed to markets in Metro Manila.

The rice stocks will come from Isabela, Nueva Ecija, and Bulacan.The group of millers clarified that the rice they deliver are newly-milled and if there are cheaper variants being sold in the market, those did not come from them. ―Mga lumang bigas yun ng mga traders ng ibang mga nagtitinda. Yung ibinibigay namin yung talagang pang serbisyo doon para sa commitment namin kay president,‖ Grecon national president Jaime Magbanua said.

(Those are old rice supplies from traders of other retailers. What we are offering is for public service, in keeping with our commitment to the president.)

Meanwhile, according to Magbanua, President Duterte has returned the National Food Authority (NFA), Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) and the Philippine Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority under the supervision of the agriculture department.

Malacañang has confirmed the revamp.

According to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, this was discussed by the NFA Council with the president last night.The NFA said they are ready to cooperate with whichever department they will be under.―Wala namang problema sa amin kung saan kami under. Ang importante maayos natin itong ating issue na kakulangan sa buffer stock ng NFA,‖ said NFA spokesperson Rex Estoperez.(It‘s not an issue with us what department we‘ll be under. What‘s important is addressing the deficiency in NFA‘s buffer stock.) — Rey Pelayo | UNTV News & Rescue https://www.untvweb.com/news/nfa-eyes-cheaper-rice-for-visayas-mindanao/

PCA loses appeal on wild rice sulfate rule

By John Myers on Apr 16, 2018 at 7:05 p.m.

Minnesota's chief administrative law judge has backed an earlier ruling and decided against the Pollution Control Agency on the proposed new rule for sulfate pollution limits for lakes and rivers that hold wild rice. The PCA in late March appealed the January decision by Judge LauraSue Schlatter, who said the PCA's proposed new sulfate rule failed to meet the definition of a state rule and failed to meet the federal Clean Water Act. Schlatter also said the PCA didn't properly consider concerns raised by tribal groups.

But Chief Administrative Law Judge Tammy Pust has ruled that Schlatter's decision disapproving the PCA sulfate standard was correct. In a 16-page response to the PCA filed Thursday, Pust said the sulfate rule "remains disapproved,'' and that the PCA has not corrected the defects raised by Schlatter's original decision.

A PCA spokesman Monday said the agency was aware of Pust's decision but had no comment.

The PCA has proposed ending a decades-old standard of 10-parts-per-million for all sulfate pollution into wild rice lakes and rivers. Instead, the agency wants to replace it with a sulfate limit based on the chemistry of each waterway.

Schlatter ruled against repealing the existing statewide 10-parts-per-million limit due to the PCA's "failure to establish the reasonableness of the repeal, and because the repeal conflicts" with the federal Clean Water Act. She said the PCA plan to develop "equation-based" limits for specific lakes and rivers that hold wild rice "fails to meet the definition of a rule" under state law "and is unconstitutionally void for vagueness."

Schlatter also rejected the PCA's preliminary list of 1,300 lakes and rivers where the agency believes viable wild rice stands exist, places where the new rules would have applied, because the list itself violated federal law.

In filing their appeal in March, PCA officials said the judge simply erred in applying the Clean Water Act, noting that using equations to determine limits is a common practice in rulemaking for pollution standards. "We think the law judge misread the Clean Water Act," said John Linc Stine, PCA commissioner, at the time the appeal was announced.

Industry groups have panned the PCA prospal as too strict. Environmental groups say it doesn't protect wild rice enough.

It's not clear what the PCA's next move is. The agency could either rework the proposed sulfate rule to satisfy the administrative law judge's concerns or bypass the administrative law judge decision and take the issue to the state Legislative Coordinating Commission.But, already, some state lawmakers have sought to stop the agency from enforcing any new rule as well as eliminate the old sulfate rule, saying they are too costly and could cripple the state's taconite iron ore industry as well as cost some water treatment plants millions of dollars to comply with.

Scientists have found that sulfate — which can come from sewage effluent, mine discharges and other industrial processes — is converted to sulfides in the sediment of many wild rice lakes and rivers. The rate of that conversion changes depending on the amount of carbon and iron in the water (generally, more sulfides with high carbon, fewer sulfides with high iron). It's those sulfides that harm wild rice in some areas; the proposed new rule would study the water chemistry of each wild rice lake and river to determine what sulfate pollution level they could handle and still grow wild rice.The PCA says about 135 facilities are within 25 miles upstream of wild rice waters and would be the most likely ones affected by any sulfate rule enforcement. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4432616-pca-loses-appeal-wild-rice-sulfate-rule

Indian rice, mainly basmati, would have an important opportunity in the Peruvian market Luis M Cabello, economic and commercial counsellor, Embassy of Peru in India speaks to Steena Joy about the food trade between India and Peru and the opportunities for growth By: Steena Joy | Updated: April 17, 2018 3:57 PM How has the India Peru food trade evolved over the years?

The commercial exchange of products related to the food and beverage sector between Peru and India has shown an important growth in recent years. A better knowledge of our consumers about what each country has to offer has been an important factor for the diversification of the demand and this is growing. The latter increases the opportunities for many food products of both countries in each market, which will reduce geographical and trade barriers in the years to come, win – win situation due to a future trade agreement between both the economies.

39

The trends and behaviour of the Indian consumer, mainly of those that conforms to the millennials segment, have opened a great opportunity for new foods in this market, mainly for products with nutraceutical and functional characteristics that contribute to improve the quality of life of the consumers. Within this framework, Peru has launched the brand ‗Superfoods Peru‘ promoting the consumption of Peruvian foods with exceptional nutritional value, such as maca, quinoa, cocoa, asparagus, grapes, avocados, purple corn, among others, some of them already in the India market, while others are expected to be available to the final consumers, very soon.

According to the World Travel Awards, for six years on a road, Peru is the World´s Culinary Destination. Our country imports from India 100 per cent of the cumin seeds consumed by our market and there is a great expectation for another group of spices that is quite unknown in our market. Peruvian gastronomy has always been characterised by merging several styles and cultures. We expect that Indian ingredients as your spices, will contribute to the enrichment of our extraordinary cuisine. In the same way, as rice is part of our daily diet, Indian rice, mainly basmati now allowed to be imported by Peruvians from India, would have an important opportunity in the Peruvian market. We expect that the trade relation of the food industry between Peru and India has a long and promising way to go.

Which are the main Peru food imports into India? Which regions of India are the main markets for Peru products?

Peru is a country specialised in the production of extraordinary quality products of the food industry. Some of these have already been consolidated within the Indian market, while others are on the way to be part of our new projects and finally of the Indian market preferences.

Our products are now in the most important cities in India. Our initial efforts for the positioning of our products in this market, runs toward the segment of consumers who are frequent buyers of organised retail chains located in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, among others, but, now some of our products are offered in different parts of India, gradually positioning in the preferences of Indian consumers.

40

To mention some of the main Peruvian foods already in the Indian market, from December to May you can find Peruvian Red Globe grapes that are since some years back, a product of the Indian market preference. We are the second largest exporter of grapes to India, only after the US. Peruvian quinoa is also another product that could be found in almost all the major cities and markets in India. This amazing Peruvian grain has a superior quality compared with those produced in any other part of the world.

This is because Peru is the center of origin of this grain and nature has been responsible of the improvement of the number of varieties that grow in our country, with different sizes, shapes, colours and incredible taste, appreciated by the most important chefs and restaurants worldwide, without the characteristic bitter of those unimproved varieties that are growing in other countries.

We are also supplying cocoa beans to the Indian chocolate industry. According to our perspective and the efforts displayed by our office, we expect also to grow in our exports of this product to India in the short term. The main reason is the increasing of chocolate consumption in India and the sophistication of your consumers, that in the last years are seeking for new alternatives and experiences for their palates.

Peru has a wide variety of cocoas due to its extraordinary climate and richness of its soils, internationally recognised for their flavour and aroma. Many chocolates produced in Peru have won international awards.There are many other Peruvian foods that can be found in Indian markets such as fresh asparagus, avocados and maca powder and extraordinary natural energiser.

What are the challenges faced with regard to Indian supply chain logistics and warehousing?

The superior quality of Peruvian Superfoods is one of the competitive advantages that have helped in the positioning of our products in the main markets of the world. It is our objective to

41

introduce and position our superfoods in this market but making them reach the consumer in the best conditions while preserving their freshness and nutritional value.

In this sense, those logistical aspects related to the supply chain and storage are fundamental to guarantee the maintenance of quality of our products in the Indian market. So first of all, we have identified those products that have a long shelf life, analysing their corresponding perishability according to the current regulations of time of life at the moment of being imported, in order to guarantee that these foods can reach the market. In second place, for those perishable products, we have been working together with the largest importers in order to guarantee the corresponding cold storage and rapid distribution of the products in the main retail chains.

Any wishlist from the Government of India?

During 2017 the Departments of Plant Protection, Ministries of Agriculture of India and Peru during bilateral meetings in Delhi and Lima had generated an approach in order to work on improving of import conditions for our products as well as granting market access for fruits, vegetables and grains, establishing of phytosanitary import requirements.

Thanks to this approach, India is looking to get from the Peruvian Government better conditions for the access of basmati rice, grains, as well as mango fruits, grains of amaranth, peanuts, pomegranates and gherkins.

Any other agricultural products Peru plans to export to India?

The launch of the brand ‗Superfoods Peru‘ is a promotional activity which is accompanied by a parallel impulse to achieve access to the Indian market fulfilling the conditions established by the Department of Plant Protection of the Ministry of Agriculture of India. In this regard, we are expecting to finish the process for the corresponding phytosanitary requirements for the entry of our blueberries and tangerines into the Indian market.

In the meanwhile, the Commercial Office of Peru in India will continue executing all our planned promotional activities looking for the increasing of our exports to India of mentioned products such as avocados, grapes, coffee, cocoa, asparagus and Amazonian nuts.

PHILIPPINES' DUTERTE ORDERS STATE FOOD AGENCY TO BOOST RICE RESERVES 4/16/2018 MANILA, April 17 (Reuters) Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has directed the country's food security agency to build up its rice buffer stock to the equivalent of 60 days of national consumption, by buying more locally-produced grains and imported varieties, the agriculture minister said on Tuesday.A 60-day buffer stock would be equivalent to a reserve of as much as 1.92 million tonnes. The National Food Authority (NFA),the agency in charge of ensuring stable rice supply, had an inventory of only 43,500 tonnes, or less than 2 days of national consumption, as of last month.The NFA is under increasing pressure to beef up its riceinventory, which has been almost depleted in the absence of fresh purchases.The Philippines, a frequent rice importer, saw domestic prices of the staple grain increase in recent weeks as the NFA could not provide the local market with cheap rice.

Higher rice prices added pressure to Philippine inflation, which quickened to an annual pace of 4.3 percent in March, the fastest in at least five years. "Buy from the Filipino farmers first and if you could not find sufficient stocks to be bought at the price approved by the NFA Council, that's the time you source it through importation," Duterte told NFA management on Monday night, according to Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel PiĂąol.In a meeting with the NFA Council, Duterte also directedFinance Secretary Carlos Dominguez to help provide funds forNFA's local rice procurement program, saying he would like the agency's warehouses "filled to the roof" to ensure sufficient supply, PiĂąol said.The council, composed of government economic managers, hasapproved the purchase by NFA of 250,000 tonnes via a tender open to international traders and suppliers, for delivery startingMay, ahead of the lean domestic harvest season from July.The NFA is also set to buy another 250,000-tonne volume in agovernment-to-government deal with Vietnam or Thailand, fordelivery starting next month.Duterte has also directed the NFA to increase its buyingprice for local rice so it could rack

up its needed bufferstocks, PiĂąol said in a statement posted on his Facebookaccount.

Savouring Made-in-Nigeria agric tools April 17, 2018 Binta Shama.

Abuja Agriculture Agriculture is an essential sector in every society, whether developed or underdeveloped because food is a necessity to humanity.

With agricultural tools, man can produce what he needs to be well-fed, clothed and as well-treated medically as noted by Josiah Sati Nyalwat, CEO of Nyalwat Technical Works Company, a Plateau State indigene.

BINTA SHAMA had a chat with him.Importance of agricultureIn today‘s fast moving technological world, you need to sow seeds every morning in good faith, just like marriage, in order to enjoy the valuable produce in the future. For decades, agriculture has been associated with the production of essential food crops, which could amount to importing other essential inputs, machinery, raw-material, and other infrastructure that are helpful for the support of farming. The proper choice and use of equipment is very important for the efficient production of much needed food and fiber both within and outside the country. Agricultural engineers are the unsung heroes. This vital industry which is the scientific brain behind the mechanical brand of modern

52

crop and livestock production. The importance of tractors and its implements in agricultural mechanization is a necessitated.

What is the motivation behind the invention of agric tools?

The great challenge I saw with farmers drying agricultural products in the sun where you have environmental disaster, terminal diseases, like laser fever, and many diseases in like manner, etc.

Describe your invention Well, I have series of inventions in form of agricultural equipment. I constructed a machine called dryer that can dry products hygienically in a way acceptable by NAFDAC, which can be used both in the day, at night and even during rainy season. It is an invention suitable in every given weather. Agriculture is an essential sector in every given society whether developed or underdeveloped because food is a necessity to humanity. With agriculture, man can be well fed, clothed and as well treated medically.

I have block molding machines, these are machines we use to produce 9 inches and 6 inches vibrated compacted hollow blocks, to reduce hardship faced by Nigerian as they sometimes lose their produce, especially in the middle of August when rain is heavy and most houses collapse because they are built using ordinary laterite which cannot withstand heavy rain.

De-stoner machine is a machine produced to remove stone from rice and acha we saw a challenge in people eating local rice with stones. Acha processing machine is used to process acha due to its health benefit as it is good food for diabetic patients.

Furnace is a machine we made to recycle waste metal, also to melt tin aluminum into ingots and spare parts production, and another advantage can be used to burn dead animals to avoid the spread of diseases, it is used in veterinary hospitals called incinerator, door used in building to provide good security.

While hammer mill is a machine used for milling maize, cassava etc. this is to avoid people eating metal which causes cancer, using stainless steel material.Animal feed machines is a machine we made to produce cow, sheep, goat, chicken feeds, considering colony, this will feed animals in one place. This will make animals remain within a particular area, no need making animals move about in search of food, and as well avoiding issues Nigeria has faced recently based on cattle rearing. That has resulted to clashes.

Another work I have is the potatoes puller. I made this to help my immediate community people of plateau the producers of Irish potatoes, but no machine to process the products with this machines it will reduce wastage add value to potatoes value chain.

What is the patronage like?

Actually the business started in the year 2001, in the month of July to be precise. We were formerly situated at Rayfield in Jos, but moved to a more convenient place in Technology Incubation Centre, Bukuru. The company is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission

53

and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), and Mankap, small and medium scale industry, institute of professional industrialist & management development, Training I have attended many exhibition workshops, am holding an HND in Mechanical Engineering with ongoing PGDE. We specialize in fabrication of locally made industrial, agricultural processing machines such as maize threshing machines, block molding machines, rice de-stoner, Irish potatoes processing machines, hammer mill ,cassava processing machine ,recycling of waste metal etc We have received training on capacity building from Bank of industry [BoI] ,Central Bank of Nigeria, and we are hoping to receive more technical training.

We are involved in block industry, training of youths and women, we are optimistic in solving the following problems unemployment, poverty reduction, replacing manual labor to machine labor, we offer practical experience on casual/contract base to university, polytechnic college of education, siwes ITF, encouraged diversification, add value to economy growth, we are solution to Engineering problems, people eating local rice with stone, and metal.

What are the challenges on the field?

Like what I said initially, the area of support has been the greatest challenge so far because where you are able to come on with such invention and one is not being patronized it can be frustrating and one‘s capital could be quenched within a twinkle of an eye which is bad for business.

How have you come by in terms of support?

Well truly speaking, there has been no support what so ever I can remember but I still remain grateful to God, my family and friends as well those who believe and cherish my work that it will eventually get better and my work will be remembered for good.

Are there any expectations?

My expectations are to be a great entrepreneur as Aliko Dangote, to add value to economic growth and hoping that the federal Government notices my invention via this medium and others. What moved me to fabricate these machines is to add value to economy growth, to be solution to processing, create employment, and improve diversification. Reduce poverty, advanced technology,, I actually started the business with sum of N1.5 m through self-effort, high patronage from farmers, food processing entrepreneurs and so far we are still doing great and hoping it gets better in the nearest future.

Words of encouragement

54

Of course yes! Will like to tell inventors, business minded persons like me and the young ones there to keep pushing hard until they achieve that dream. Beyond the skies are their limits. God help us all. https://www.blueprint.ng/savouring-made-nigeria-agric-tools/
