Palay output likely flat By Bettina Faye V. Roc, Reporter:Posted on November 21, 2013 10:26:55 PM PRODUCTION of palay for 2013 will likely be flat from a year ago in the wake of natural calamities that have hit the country, a senior Agriculture official said. "For 2013, palay production would probably just be the same as last year’s. It could just level off," Agriculture Undersecretary Dante S. Delima, also coordinator for the National Rice Program, told reporters late Wednesday."The current BAS (Bureau of Agricultural Statistics) forecast says we can achieve about 97-98% of our target. But that will go down. That was also our forecast after [typhoon] Santi came. But now after Yolanda,

our forecast is maybe we can hit only about 95-97% of our target," Mr. Delima said.The Agriculture department has placed this year’s palay production target at 19.03 million metric tons (MT).Last year, output reached 18.03 million MT. In a report last week, the BAS said palay production could increase by 10.3% to 7.22 million MT this quarter from 6.54 million MT in the same three months last year.Production of the grain in the first three quarters totaled 11.36 million MT, which means the BAS sees a yearend tally of 18.58 million MT.Mr. Delima said the country’s fourth-quarter palay harvest is historically a bumper one."We usually see about an 8-10% increase in production. But this is also a risky period since the stronger typhoons normally hit us around this time, as we’ve seen over the last couple of years," he said."That happened again this year. There was Santi, also Vinta, now Yolanda. And an earthquake also hit Bohol," he added."All these disasters will definitely affect our output."Typhoon Santi (international name: Nari) hit several food-producing provinces in Central Luzon last Oct. 11. A report of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) dated Oct. 16 said the typhoon left 15 dead. Damage to infrastructure and agriculture was estimated at P3.29 billion.Last Oct. 15, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Bohol and some parts of the Visayas and Mindanao. An NDRRMC report said that, as of Nov. 3, there were 222 deaths. Infrastructure damage had been estimated at some P2.26 billion.Typhoon Vinta (international name: Krosa) also made landfall over Sta. Ana, Cagayan, last Oct. 31, leaving four persons dead and causing P276.64 million worth of infrastructure and farm damage.More recently, super-typhoon Yolanda, described as the world’s most powerful storm this year, battered several provinces in central Philippines last Nov. 8.The NDRRMC said as of six yesterday morning, deaths from the storm have so far totaled 4,011; missing 1,602; injured 18,567; while preliminary total cost of infrastructure and farm damage has been estimated at some P12.66 billion.In a separate report yesterday, the Agriculture department said farm damage from Yolanda had reached P9.73 billion as of Nov. 19.With palay production expected to fall short of this year’s goal, Mr. Delima said the government can no longer achieve rice self-sufficiency by end-2013, as originally targeted. WIPED OUT "We can no longer say that we will be self-sufficient. Our mandate under the FSSP (Food Staples Sufficiency Program) is to meet consumption demand and have a buffer stock of 90 days," he said."We’ll be able to meet the consumption component. But the buffer, we won’t have that. Especially because of Yolanda."This was also part of the reason for the government’s decision to import 500,000 MT of rice this year, Mr. Delima explained."Yolanda, and also the Bohol quake, eroded the NFA’s (National Food Authority) buffer. Our basis was, if we have to feed the almost five million affected by these calamities for 100 days, we would need about 200,000 MT at the minimum," he said.
He said people involved in relief efforts for affected areas have been buying NFA rice to give as food rations, eroding the agency’s stocks."Of that 500,000 MT, we’re allotting 300,000 MT of that for those affected by Yolanda. The remaining 200,000 MT could boost our buffer."As for rice self-sufficiency, Mr. Delima said the government will try to catch up with its shortfall as early as the first quarter of 2014."We’ll make efforts to boost production and also our buffer so we can meet the FSSP targets."Mr. Delima added that the department is

also asking for a supplemental budget next year of "about P6 billion" for rehabilitation of all damaged agricultural areas and infrastructure to recoup losses.
"For irrigation alone, because of the series of typhoons, our running total for the damage is already at P2 billion for this year," he noted."The supplemental budget will cover rehabilitation of damaged irrigation structures, as well as crops, livestock, and fishery areas."Under the 2014 proposed budget, the Agriculture department has a total allocation of P69.47 billion."If the additional budget is approved, rehabilitation can take maybe a year, at the minimum," said Mr. Delima.

who need to sow new seeds."Regions most severely affected by the typhoon account for one-third of the total rice production in the country," the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said in a statement."Hundreds of thousands of farmers in the Philippines whose crops were destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan need urgent assistance to sow new seeds before the end of the current planting season," it said.(Ed's note: This AFP report earlier quoted UN as saying a third of the Philippines' rice production was wiped out by the typhoon. This has been corrected.) The main-season harvest of the staple grain was well under way in the central Philippines when the typhoon hit, also "badly disrupting" ongoing planting for the secondary season, the FAO said.The Rome-based agency added: "There is concern that many storage facilities may have been destroyed, along with their contents."Dominique Burgeon, head of FAO's Emergency and Rehabilitation Division, said in the statement: "If we want to avoid entire regions of the country having to rely on food aid, we need to act now to help vulnerable families to plant or replant by late December."The agency plans to supply seeds for rice and maize as well as tools, fertilizer and irrigation equipment, it said."Families will also receive vegetable seeds to help bridge the gap before the next harvest," it added.Some 13 million people were affected by Haiyan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded, which struck the Philippine archipelago on November 8, claiming at least 4,000 lives.Four million people were displaced, according to the UN humanitarian agency OCHA. An estimated 2.5 million are in need of food aid. – Rappler.com

The typhoon that hit the Philippines has caused crop losses worth $110 million and inflicted damage to the agriculture sector of more than twice that figure, preliminary estimates from the United Nation’s food agency showed on Tuesday.Some 153,495 hectares (ha) of rice paddy, maize and other high value crops such as coconut, banana, cassava, mango and vegetables have been hit by Typhoon Haiyan, which killed at least 3,900 people when it struck on November 8.“High winds, heavy rains and localized floods destroyed houses and infrastructure, including irrigation facilities, and resulted in losses of the main staple rice paddy, sugarcane and coconut crops, as well as livestock, poultry and fisheries,” the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said in a statement. The forecast for damaged areas included some 77,476 ha of rice crops and 20,951 ha of maize crops, it added.The FAO also said that imports of rice are expected to increase by 20 percent next year to 1.2 million tonnes.Earlier on Tuesday the Philippines’ National Food Authority (NFA) said it will import up to 500,000 tonnes of rice from its neighboring countries, possibly before the end of the year, as it replenishes stocks that have been depleted by the ongoing typhoon relief efforts. Because of Haiyan and another typhoon which hit northern parts of the Philippines in October, the FAO cut its 2013 aggregate rice paddy output forecast - including the main 2013 season and the 2013/14 secondary season to 18 million tonnes from previous estimates of a bumper crop of 18.9 million tonnes.“At the revised level, the 2013 paddy output would be slightly lower than that of 2012,” it said.The final output will depend on timely rehabilitation and provision of seeds and fertilizers to allow farmers to replant before the end of the sowing period, the FAO said, calling for $24 million for immediate action targeting 250,000 households.Philippine authorities and international aid agencies face a mounting humanitarian crisis, with the number of people displaced by the catastrophe estimated at 4 million

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines will not be self-sufficient in rice this year, the government admits, as assessed damage from Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) continues to grow.The Agriculture department said massive damage wrought by Yolanda on the agriculture sector will prevent the country from attaining its rice production goals for 2013.On Thursday, Yolanda's damage to agriculture rose to P9.73 billion, with the rice sub-sector incurring the most damage.The super typhoon destroyed rice lands in Regions VI, VII, and VIII, prompting DA to drop this year's self-sufficiency target.DA said palay production is expected to post flat growth in 2013 from last year. It will be sufficient to cover domestic requirements but will fall short of the required 90-day buffer stock. Agriculture Undersecretary Dante Delima, also National Rice Program Coordinator, said that by yearend, the Philippines will be able to achieve 95% to 97% rice self-sufficiency, with production seen reaching 18.03 million metric tons (MT), the same as last year's level."We can meet the domestic requirement with this level of production, but we can only attain a 50-day buffer stock," he said.To be 100% self-sufficient in rice, the country needs to be able to provide for 90-day buffer.Before Yolanda struck, DA was eyeing a production of 19 million to 20 million MT for 2013. Imports

Yolanda destroyed 143,774 MT of palay planted in 77,476 hectares of land. Of this, 36,038 hectares may still recover. Production loss was placed at P2.33 billion.The National Food Authority (NFA) has approved the importation of 500,000 MT of rice under a government-to-government tender before the end of the year to increase the country's buffer stock by at least 14 days.The rice may be sourced from Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam, with whom the Philippines already has procurement agreements.Delima asked the NFA to bring in by December the first 300,000 MT to support relief operations in Visayas.He said the ongoing harvest in unaffected areas will still contribute to the buffer stock.Delima said that before the onslaught of Yolanda, the Philippines had a buffer stock good for at least 85 days. Damage to other crops The government is still surveying the extent of damage to farm lands.On Thursday, production losses in the corn sector reached P284.65 million, equivalent to 22,119 MT of produce planted in 20,951 hectares.The coconut sub-sector sustained P1.52 billion worth of damage as Yolanda eradicated in one fell swoop 41,662 hectares of coconut plantations. (READ: Coconut farmers face ruin after Haiyan) Substantial damage was also seen in livestock and fisheries, with production losses amounting to P2.32 billion and P1.06, respectively.The cost of damage to irrigation and farm infrastructure has climbed to P1.63 billion. – Rappler.com
FAO's Projection For Philippines' 2014 Rice Import Too High, Says Official MANILA, Nov 21 (Bernama) -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) said the country's rice imports would not reach 1.2 million metric tons (MMT) next year as projected by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)."The 1.2 MMT of rice FAO estimates the country will import in 2014 is beyond what the country needs; it is too high," Xinhua news agency reports Agriculture Undersecretary Dante Delima as saying.The DA was responding to FAO's report that Philippine rice imports would increase by 20 percent to 1.2 MMT in 2014 after 32 percent of rice crops were affected by typhoon Haiyan.However, Delima declined to provide the exact volume of rice the country will be importing next year. FAO said extensive damage caused by the typhoon in rice-growing areas in central Philippines would also result in reduction of rice output to 18 MMT from its earlier projection of 18.9 MMT.The Philippine government imports rice to beef up the buffer stock of state food agency National Food Authority which provides rice to areas affected by natural calamities.Manila imported 205,700 metric tons of rice from Vietnam under a government-to-government transaction in 2013.Latest data from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said typhoon Haiyan has destroyed 10.51 billion pesos (US$241.5 million) worth of crops and farm infrastructure in central Philippines

Thai Rice Hoard at Record Seen Hurting Prices Amid Global Glut By Supunnabul Suwannakij Nov 21, 2013 9:59 AM GMT+0500
Record reserves of rice in Thailand, accumulated from a state-buying program that’s spurred concern from the International Monetary Fund, are seen contributing to lower prices next year as worldwide harvests expand.The stockpiles probably total 16 million metric tons, which will pressure global prices, according to Eklavya Chandra, director at Bangkok-based Phoenix Commodities Ltd. (Thailand). The Thai holdings will surge 18 percent to 14.9 million tons in 2013-2014, the International Grains Council forecasts.The third-largest shipper started buying the grain from farmers at above-market rates in 2011 to boost rural incomes, fulfilling a campaign pledge by the Pheu Thai Party, which won a parliamentary majority that year. The IMF said last week the program was likely to generate wider losses and should be dropped in favor budgetary transfers to low-income households. Thai ministers said they will press on with the intervention.“Everybody realizes that 16 million tons cannot be sold in a year or two years, so there is no bullish trend in the market,” the Phoenix director said in an interview in Hong Kong, where he’s attending a conference. “Supply continues to increase, while Thai stocks put more pressure on prices.”The price of Thai 5 percent broken white rice, an Asian benchmark, tumbled 26 percent this

year to $433 a ton, contributing to lower food costs as harvests of corn, wheat and soybeans increased. World food prices tracked by the Food & Agriculture Organization lost 5.3 percent in the past year.
‘Buyers’ Market’ “It’s still a buyers’ market because supply is actually more than demand,” said Anthony Lam, vice chairman at Hong Kong-based Golden Resources Development International Ltd. “In the short term, the Philippines is going to buy and Indonesia will buy soon, before the election, that will spike up prices.”The Philippines may boost imports 20 percent to 1.2 million tons next year after Typhoon Haiyan struck the country, the FAO said on Nov. 19. Still, the storm’s impact on output is minimal as most harvests had been gathered, Orlan Calayag, administrator of National Food Authority, told the conference today.“The global surplus is large enough to be able to cope with any large tender by the Philippines,” said Darren Cooper, senior economist at the International Grains Council. “I doubt that it would have a significant impact on the world market since the additional demand would likely be temporary.”World stockpiles will expand 1.2 percent to 109.3 million tons in 2013-2014 as reserves in the five largest exporters including Thailand gain to records, IGC forecasts show. Global output will climb to an all-time high of 474 million tons, topping demand by 2 million tons, the data show. Hurt Crops Bad weather that hurt crops in the Philippines as well as in India will provide price support in the near term, said Samarendu Mohanty, senior economist at the International Rice Research Institute, based in Los Banos, the Philippines. Output in India may drop as much as 5 million tons to about 100 million to 105 million tons in 2013-2014, Mohanty said.“With these Philippines and India cases, and China importing more, I don’t think the price will go down any more,” said Mohanty, forecasting a gain of as much as $30 a ton by the end of March. “The upside is limited by ample supply in the market and stockpiles in Thailand.”Thailand has spent 678 billion baht ($21.3 billion) since October 2011 buying about 29 million tons of milled rice from farmers. The program spurred the buildup of record reserves and dethroned the country as the largest exporter. Thailand will sell 1.2 million tons of rice to Beijing Great Northern Wilderness Rice Industry, a state-owned company, according to a statement from the Commerce Ministry yesterday. The price will be based on market rates and the shipment will be delivered by the end of December, it said.

said that the production “pushes forward the possibility of Guyana possibly reaching 600,000 tonnes before the 2020 projection. “The sector continues to experience yearly increase in rice production due to more land being brought under cultivation, and the provision of improved farming techniques with better seed varieties, which in turn have led to improved yields per hectare.”It said that a major incentive for the increased project has been the price for Guyana’s rice improving, “which thus far has been stable”.

Liberia, Japan Exchange Notes for U.S.$5.1 Million Food Aid The Japanese Government has signed a Food Aid Grant with the Liberian Government valued at US$5.1 million.During an official signing ceremony of the exchange of notes between the Liberian and Japanese Governments held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Capitol Hill Tuesday, November 20, 2103, Hon. B. Elias Shoniyin, Acting Foreign Minister and Japanese Ambassador to Liberia His Excellency Naoto Nikai represented their respective countries.Japan's Food Aid to Liberia comes both bilaterally and through the United Nation's World Food Program. It began since 2003, and saw Japan in 2012 also funding the World Bank's West Africa Agricultural Productivity Program (WAAPP) in support of the Rice Research and Productivity Development Program.Acting Minister Shoniyin, on behalf of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, thanked the Japanese People and Government for a gesture he says will further accentuate Liberia-Japan partnership and ties.He disclosed that proceeds from the rice of the 2013 Food Aid which arrived in Liberia about two months ago, are being forwarded to the Counter-Fund in the spirit of the Agreement between Liberia and Japan. "Mr. Ambassador, this signing ceremony today means a lot to Liberia's post-conflict reconstruction, as it seeks to address core priorities in our national development frameworks, the 'Agenda for Transformation' and 'Vision 2030'. It will translate into increased food and nutrition security by the provision of the Food Aid and following sales of the rice, proceeds thereafter will make intervention into priority projects that directly address national challenges such as infrastructure and other social services central to sustainable economic growth and development", the Acting Foreign Minister asserted. He further stated that since the resumption of bilateral relations in 2007 between both countries, the Japanese Government has been a reliable partner to Liberia.He then used the occasion to appeal to the Japanese Government for the reactivation of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOVC) program in Liberia now that the country's security situation is improved. He also called on his Japanese counterpart to consider Liberia's inclusion in the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET), a program that promotes grass-root interaction and builds strong relations with local communities through foreign language education.
