Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Rajshahi farmers getting benefits from jute-rice relay cropping RAJSHAHI, Oct 27 (BSS): Many farmers are being benefited through cultivating aman paddy on jute field in relay cropping system in the region for the last couple of years. Agricultural extension officials, scientists and researchers made the observation while addressing a farmers gathering on jute-rice relay cropping at Mirkamari village under Charghat of the district on Wednesday.Regional office of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) organised the programme to encourage more other farmers towards the relay cropping for boosting paddy yield through resource conservation. Additional Director of Department of Agriculture Extension Fazlur Rahman and Chief Scientific Officer of BRRI Dr Mostofa Kamal addressed the meeting as the chief and special guests respectively with BRRI Chief Scientific Officer Dr Rafiqul Islam in the chair.Regional Agriculture Information Officer AbdullahHil- Kafi, Upazila Agriculture Officer Abu Jafar Sadeque and Sub Assistant Agriculture Officer Habibur Rahman also spoke. Principles of conservation agriculture are use of reduced tillage, retention of some amounts of residues on the field, sustainable and profitable crop diversification and its rotation and judicious use of natural resources.In present context of climate change especially unpredictable rainfall, unusual drought and other natural calamities, this technology can help the farmers utilising the minimum amount of water for cros, he added. Food production demand is gradually increasing to feed the huge number population and more pressures are coming on per-unit cultivable land. To this end, the new and updated technology is capable to enhance production and productivity in a cost-effective way. By using the new pattern of crop rotation, the jute cultivating land could be used to grow paddy. Farmers support is very essential in this regard, speakers said. http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/2016/10/27/50940/Rajshahi-farmers-getting-benefits-from-juterice-relay-cropping

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter At least 17,571 hectares of rice fields were affected by the recent floods – of which about 3,186 hectares were severely damaged, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) yesterday, which urged all provincial agriculture departments to immediately evaluate the affects from the floods and make amends to ensure food safety.The MAFF issued the circular yesterday on the restoration of crop damage during the rainy season and reported that the current rice-growing season has utilized nearly 2.6 million hectares, exceeding the ministry’s target of about 2.5 million hectares earlier this year.
―Although the drought happened from mid-July until early September, it was not severe,‖ said the circular. ―In the short term, natural climatic episodes can happen at any time and cannot be foreseen, especially floods.―For food safety sustainability and to achieve the rice production and export goals, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries would like to inform all concerned technical departments and provincial agricultural departments to manage and control the farming situation and evaluate affected areas for rehabilitation.‖ According to data from the agriculture department in Battambang province received by Khmer Times yesterday, rice has been cultivated on some 290,296 hectares. About 10,730 hectares were affected by the drought and recent flooding, with the drought causing far more damage.Heng Sith, director of the agriculture department’s statistics office, told Khmer Times yesterday that the department has been keeping an eye on the impact of natural disasters and kept farmers well informed about prevention. ―The floods haven’t had much impact.

Ahok said he also hoped stable prices could prevent the hoarding of rice. ―No vendors will stockpile rice. If they attempt to do so, they will suffer losses,‖ said Ahok. ―[This is] because our funds, stock and distribution network are sufficient.‖ Bulog president director Djarot Kusumayakti said Bulog would also provide transportation facilities to support the distribution. ―Sufficient stock combined with good distribution mobility is a good synergy that will provide food security for Jakartans,‖ he said http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/10/27/greater-jakarta-city-distribute-75000-tons-rice.html

REUTERS/Pulaski County Sherrif's Office/Handout via Reuters By Julia Edwards | WASHINGTON
A geneticist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture pleaded guilty on Monday to making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when questioned about plans to send U.S. rice samples to China, the Justice Department said Wednesday.Wengui Yan, 61, of Arkansas admitted that a group of Chinese tourists in 2013 told him of their plans to steal engineered U.S. rice samples, but he first told investigators he had no knowledge of the plan.The number of international economic espionage cases referred to the FBI is rising, up 15 percent each year between 2009 and 2014 and up 53 percent in 2015, according to the FBI.Agricultural espionage, like the case involving Yan, allows thieves to reproduce genetically modified plants in China, skipping years of research and millions of dollars typically invested in development of the highly resistant seeds. 14

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter The majority of economic espionage cases reported involve Chinese nationals, a law enforcement official said in April, shortly after a Chinese man named Mo Hailong pleaded guilty to sending hybrid corn seeds stolen from Iowa fields back to China.Yan refused to give the group of Chinese visitors rice seeds they requested because they were protected, but he did travel with them to a rice farm where he "knew they would have an opportunity to steal seeds," the Justice Department said in a statement.Under Yan's plea agreement, he faces up to 20 months in federal prison http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-justice-rice-idUSKCN12Q2R8

Rice farmers urge haste on storage scheme
28 Oct 2016 at 07:44 NEWSPAPER SECTION: BUSINESS | WRITER: PHUSADEE ARUNMAS
A jute sack is being filled with milled rice at a plant in Chachoengsao province. Millers are urging the government for clear measures to help tackle falling Hom Mali rice prices. The government is being urged to speed up the implementation of measures to curb a sharp fall in price of Thai Hom Mali rice, particularly this year's pledging scheme for farmers with their own rice barns. Vichai Srinawakul, vice-president of Thai Rice Millers Association, said they are calling on the government to step up declaring the exact time frame for the so-called rice barn pledging scheme for Hom Mali rice so that rice farmers can begin pledging their paddy with the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC).

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter The scheme, once announced, will encourage rice farmers not to rush in releasing their new harvested to the market."The government must clarify to rice farmers measures to encourage them to delay disposing their paddy and give choices to farmers who agree to delay their disposal," he said.He cited the BAAC's plan to spend about 9.98 billion baht to pledge the farmers' barn rice at 11,700 baht per tonne plus storage fee at 1,500 baht a tonne for Hom Mali paddy and glutinous paddy, targeting a combined 2 million tonnes of paddy.Domestic prices of Thai Hom Mali paddy fell yesterday to only 9,500 baht per tonne, the lowest in 10 years. The fall was partially attributed to relatively low purchase prices set by rice exporters, at only 15,800-16,600 tonnes of milled rice per tonne. Normally, milled rice fetches a minimum of 20,000 baht a tonne. Charoen Laothamatas, president of Thai Rice Exporters Association, said the price fall was mainly because the Hom Mali paddy released this period is mostly of poor quality, with as much as 30% moisture.In a move to cooperate with the government in managing domestic rice prices, rice exporters last week agreed to buy 200,000 tonnes of Hom Mali rice and store it in warehouses during November and December, the period when new supply from the country's annual harvest season starts flowing into the market. The cooperation came shortly after the government announced a pause in its efforts to dispose of state rice stocks to curb any adverse impact on domestic prices.Exporters will ask for the government's financial support in interest rate subsidies and warehousing fees worth a combined 60 million baht. According to a source from Commerce Ministry, Deputy Commerce Minister Suvit Maesincee called a meeting with millers yesterday to inquire into paddy trading development and paddy production so the government could introduce more measures to handle the impact of the new supply.
