Connecting Bangladeshi rice farmers to commercial buyers Tuesday, 20 December 2016 05:15 A USAID-funded project, Feed the Future Bangladesh Rice Value Chain (RVC), aimed at improving the rice value chain is helping 365 farmer organisations in southern Bangladesh to grow premium-quality crops to gain access to national buyers The project aims to empower farmers to produce high value varieties of rice in bulk quantities. (Image source: Trung Hieu Dang/Pixabay) The project works towards developing the capacity of the farmer groups who grow the same high-value rice varieties, composed of 10,500 farmer members, to produce their crops in bulk in order to improve opportunities to do business with millers and food companies.RVC was present at the recent 3rd Rice and Grains Tech Expo along with another project, Stress-Tolerant Rice for Africa and South Asia (STRASA), led by the International

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Rice Research Institute. STRASA said that it is is speeding up dissemination of seeds of improved rice varieties to farmers in areas prone to drought, flooding, and other severe environmental conditions. “South Bangladesh is one of the country's poorest areas and most vulnerable to cyclone-induced disasters. It also has a much lower level of industrialisation. So, all the national food processing companies have their bases, including mills and factories, in the northern and western parts of the country,� said RVC project leader Tim Russell. The organisation commented that after RVC spearheaded the creation of farmer groups with the capacity to grow crops and varieties in demand throughout the country, processing companies have begun to set up buying operations in southern Bangladesh.At the Expo, the farmer organisations and their members had the opportunity to link with national companies that produce agriculture and forestry products, farm machinery, and new technologies for rice production and marketing. The buyers are primarily interested in purchasing Chinigura rice from the farmers who now have the capacity to grow this Bangladeshi aromatic variety in bulk, . http://fareasternagriculture.com/crops/agriculture/connecting-rice-farmers-to-commercial-buyers-in-bangladesh 0 inShare

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter resiliency has improved over the last two years as reflected by end of staple food imports. Amran claimed that Indonesia recorded the highest jump in the food security index in 2016. "No rice imports, onion imports, and chili pepper imports; corn imports dropped by 60 percent, as acknowledged by the Economist Intelligence Unit. The world recognizes that we have the highest jump [in the food security index] in the world," Amran said as quoted by Antara on Tuesday, December 20, 2016. The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) 2016 shows that Indonesia achieves the highest increase with an index of 2.7, and the food availability rank of 66. Amran explained that food supplies remained stable with rice productions that increased by 6.64 percent in 2015 and 4.97 percent in 2016, despite El-Nino and La-Nina. Over the last two years, rice productions climbed by 8.3 million tons or worth Rp 38.5 trillion (US$2.9 billion). "In 2016, there were no recommendation to import premium rice, and we managed to address distribution issues," Amran added. The Agriculture Ministry and the Central Statistics Agency forecasted that the production of dried paddy reached 79.14 tons in 2016, increasing by 3.74 million tons or 4.97 percent when compared to 2015. Corn productions stood at 23.16 million tons, increasing by 3.55 million tons or 18.11 percent when compared to 2015. Amran also revealed that the Ministry managed to address price hikes in December due to famine. "For the first time in 71 years, we don’t have famine in December. Usually, prices are high in December. But now, prices of rice and onion are going down," Amran claimed http://en.tempo.co/read/news/2016/12/20/056829159/Indonesia-Books-Highest-Jump-in-FoodSecurity-Index

Thailand has exported 9.3 million tonnes of rice so far this year, mostly to China and countries in Africa, the commerce ministry said on Monday, well short of the government's target for 2016.From January to Dec. 14, 2016 Thailand signed export agreements for 9.3 million tonnes of rice worth 146 million baht ($4.07 million), said Duangporn Rodphaya, chief of the ministry's

Early this month, Commerce Minister Apiradee Tantraporn said Thailand's rice exports this year would reach 10.5 million tonnes, above an earlier target of 9.5 million tonnes. In a statement on Monday, Duangporn said Thailand, the world's second-largest rice exporter after India, will meet its rice export target this year and has until early January to finalize export agreements. The top importers of Thai rice this year were Benin, Ivory Coast, South Africa, China and Cameroon, she added. Thailand has stocks of about 8 million tonnes left over from a rice-buying scheme under the previous government that paid farmers well above market rates for their rice. Most of the rice has been stored for more than five years, the foreign trade department said, making it difficult to sell it at target prices and to find potential buyers. The current military government has been trying to sell off stockpiles from the scheme through several state auctions since it took power in 2014.Duangporn said the rice could be used for

Ministry eyes rotten rice as energy source December 19, 2016 18:16 By The Nation
THE National Rice Policy Committee is soon to consider releasing about 5 million tonnes of deteriorated and rotten rice for alternative energy production to cut stockpiling costs. Duangporn Rodphaya, director-general of the Commerce Ministry’s Foreign Trade Department, said it would in early January propose to the committee that it consider ways to clear out the stockpiles, particularly rotten rice, which makes up about 5 million of the 8 million tonnes remaining in the government’s stocks.The Commerce Ministry will discuss with the Energy Ministry the possibility of using some of this stockpiled rice to produce energy. The purchase price might be quite low, but it would cut down on the rice stocks and thereby save warehousing costs, which currently are Bt510 million per month or Bt17 million per day, Duangporn sai http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/breakingnews/30302423

Welcoming everyone to the 2016 USA Rice Outlook Conference last week, host-state representative and Mississippi rice farmer Kirk Satterfield explained, "The conference has grown so much and is still growing that we had to move to Memphis to find a venue big enough to accommodate all the attendees and exhibits. We certainly appreciate the level of participation."

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter 2017 Miss America Savvy Shields - to the new Innovation Stage, centrally located in the Exhibit Hall that was bursting at the seams with 59 exhibitors."
"Moving the New Products and Technology seminar to the Innovation Stage concept in the middle of the Exhibit Hall fostered more interaction between members and exhibitors," said USA Rice President and CEO Betsy Ward. "We really appreciate all of our exhibitors and sponsors for their support and are always looking for ways to help them promote their products and services." Ward also said the Annual Rice Awards Luncheon was a conference highlight. "Attendees heard moving speeches from the award winners, got to meet the 2017/19 Rice Leadership Development Program class, and see the winning entry in the first ever National Rice Month Scholarship video contest," she said. Between traditional program offerings like state outlook and rice research reports from all six major riceproducing states, USA Rice showcased several videos, including the P.F. Chang's Farm-to-Wok video featuring Arkansas rice farmers Jennifer James and Dow Brantley that captures the artistry of rice farming and tells the story of the U.S.-grown grain.
This year's conference included two panels focusing on conservation and sustainability practices in the rice industry that was moderated by outgoing Chief of the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Jason Weller who spoke eloquently about the importance of industries telling their stories. (click here to see his full remarks) "In my view, production agriculture is sustainable agriculture, full stop," Chief Weller said in touching closing remarks. "You guys need to stand up and be proud of what you do, you need to advocate for what you do, and you need to do it in a way that connects with people who aren't familiar with production agriculture." Weller said he figured this would be his last public appearance as NRCS Chief, at least before a commodity group, and he had the date circled on his calendar for some time. "I am so proud of the partnership NRCS has with the rice industry and I wanted to be here personally to thank you all for your commitment to being partners with us to invest in conservation and really be national leaders - not just regional or local leaders - but national leaders in production agriculture."

Meanwhile, addressing a media conference held in Colombo this afternoon, Rural Affairs Minister P Harrison explained the reasons behind the sky rocketing of price of rice. Meanwhile, Small and Medium rice millers charged that an artificial rice shortage has been created by a few large scale millers. Addressing a media conference held in Dambulla, national organizer of All Ceylon Farmers confederation Namal Karunarathna said that the rice prices have increased as the Paddy Marketing Board is playing to the tune of several big time rice millers. However, Rural Affairs Minister P Harrison said that the price of rice will reduce within the next two weeks when imported rice stocks reach the market. http://www.hirunews.lk/150101/rice-shortage-believed-to-be-created-by-large-scale-mill-owners
