Japan corn imports to remain high March 30, 2018 - by Arvin Donley

TOKYO, JAPAN — With prices on the global market remaining at a low level, Japan is forecast to import 15.3 million tonnes of corn in 2018-19, according to a March 28 Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The total imports are unchanged from its revised 2017-18 forecast, as demand is projected to remain strong. Reflecting abundant world corn supplies, Japanese corn import prices in 2016-17 hit their lowest level since 2005-06, encouraging increased feed demand, the report said.Japanese traders imported corn from several suppliers, enabling them to procure corn at competitive prices from the United States, Brazil, South Africa and Russia in recent months.As an energy source, grains account for more than 60% of the Japanese compound feed formula, the report said. While the composition ratio for grains in compound feed is largely affected by the price of each grain, corn is the principal component, accounting for 77% of grains and 46.3% of the total compound feed formula in 2016-17, it said. ―Increased use of rice and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in compound feed in Japan has only led to a minor decline (2% to 3%) in corn use over the past 10 years,‖ according to the USDA. ―Additionally, competitive corn prices encouraged feed millers to use slightly more corn in Japanese feed production at the expense of sorghum and rice in MY2015-16 and MY2016-17.‖

Taming Nigeria’s food import bills March 30, 2018

By Taiwo Hassan Recently, the Federal Government announced that Nigeria’s food importation has dropped drastically, linking it to its agricultural policies. Taiwo Hassan reports Effects of food imports For many decades, the Nigerian markets have been the toast for renowned agric countries in the world, particularly for importation of foreign food items to compliment local production.

Indeed, the massive importation of foreign food items was seen as an alternative to sustaining the country‘s food sufficiency profile amid the notion that local farmers were not doing enough to cater for the Nigerian populace.

Ironically, the opening up of Nigeria‘s borders and its gateways not only put smiles on the faces of importers, rice merchants and others in the value chain imports market but also creates jobs in the countries from where these products are imported.

Similarly, the continued importation of the foreign food items into the country is not only killing the local market from attaining optimal growth and development, it also contributes to the raising of the country‘s food imports bill. Additionally, this also depletes significantly the country‘s foreign exchange earnings and puts pressure on the FX market.

Statistics from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) showed that massive importation of food, especially rice, wheat, sugar and fish, has continued to bleed the nation‘s economy, with the four items accounting for a whopping N1 trillion loss to the nation annually.

Currently, Nigeria has about $22 billion food import substitution bill, which is presently threatening the sustainability of food security and saving the declining foreign exchange earnings.

Re-jigging old norms Following the assumption of Office by President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2015 and coupled with the decline in crude oil price at the international market, the need to change the paradigm towards the continued importation of food became imperative.

Indeed, the present administration gave special attention to three key sectors of the economy – agriculture, manufacturing and solid minerals – in a bid to diversify the economy into non-oil sector. In line with its policy statement to re-position agriculture, President Buhari‘s administration took various agricultural policies as part of efforts to revive the sector and make it a major revenue generating sector.

President Buhari had emphasized that Nigeria was still an agrarian economy where agriculture should form the larger bulk of the country‘s revenue generation.

FG’s stance on food imports Speaking at the inauguration of chairpersons and members of Boards of 23 agencies and parastatals under the Federal Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development recently, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Heineken Lokpobiri, disclosed that Nigeria was recording a massive decline in food importation, tracing it to the present administration‘s agricultural policies that had started to have far-reaching effects on the transformation of the sector.

He revealed that the country had achieved significant results in its bid to grow the sector but that Nigeria still has a lot of work to do in the sector.

He noted that in the last couple of months, the importation of food items, including rice and fish, into the country had reduced significantly, noting that efforts are in progress to further reduce all food imports to the barest minimum. ―Efforts on developing other agricultural products like cassava, millet, cocoa, hibiscus flower (zobo), ginger, cashew nuts and so on are yielding positive results,‖ he added.

Lokpobiri noted that since the inception of the current administration, concerted efforts had been made to diversify the economy and agriculture is the foremost sector being explored in this regard.

He explained that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) has the responsibility of developing agriculture, making it the key driver of rural development for the transformation of the economy, with a view of attaining food security, generating employment and becoming a net exporter of agricultural produce and earner of foreign exchange. ―Our agricultural research institutions and colleges have a vital role to play in achieving this goal as they have a mandate to ensure the development of new technologies, inputs, production techniques, storage and distribution techniques and processes through research for improved yield and reduction in losses. Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation also plays a major role in protecting farmers from agricultural losses in the entire value chain,‖ he added.

Positive change Besides, Lokpobiri averred that the President Buhari administration is devoted to ensuring positive change in the lives of Nigerians and also improve standard of living across the country.

According to him, this can only be achieved through transparency and accountability in the conduct of the government‘s business.

Last line The news that Nigeria is recording a decline in its food importation bill through its agricultural policies is supposed to be a cheering news for the country, but unfortunately, it‘s worrisome that government is yet to tackle the menace of smuggling and influx of imported food items into the country.

Food sufficiency: FG, NAERLS give conflicting reports March 23, 2018

By Correspondents Despite Federal Government’s claim that food production has increased across the country, the 2017 wet season National Agricultural Performance Survey report revealed otherwise. TAIWO HASSAN reports Indeed, the study highlighted challenges that affected food production during the 2017 wet season farming to include: climate change, absence of government input support, insecurity, kidnapping and poor support for agricultural extension.The study carried out by the National Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison Services (NAERLS) of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, domiciled at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, noted that the constraints affected all the subsector of agriculture including crops, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture, and agro forestry value chain.

The study, which was launched in Abuja by the Minister of State Agriculture, Heineken Lokpobiri, noted that although there was increase in land area for food production, but this only resulted in 35 per cent increase in livestock and aquaculture.

While presenting the report in Abuja, the Executive Director, NAERLS, Prof. Mohammed Othman, lamented that the level of mechanisation in Nigeria is still very low, as over 34 states are unable to access tractor services in 2017, due to high cost of hiring services.

Besides not buying tractors for farmers, Othman said the survey indicated that 28 states could not access tractor services for their wet season farming due to unavailability, resulting into high cost of land clearing activities.The report identified maize as the most cultivated crop in Nigeria, accounting for 5,960,920 hectares, producing 10, 813,980 metric tonnes (MT) compared to 12,107,580MT in 2016, representing a 11.96 per cent increase in national total output.

Blame game However, the minister blamed NAERLS for withholding the research results of the survey, which has been conducted annually for the past 29 years, saying that the report ought to serve as a planning tool for farmers, investors and other relevant stakeholders.

He said: ―We are very sad that for the past 29 years, we have always produced this type of document done with painstaking survey conducted across the country, but never formally presented to the public. Any research conducted but not presented to the public, as far as I‘m concerned, will not be able to achieve the purpose for which it was conducted.―You can imagine that for 29 years, this very highly respected institute, domiciled in ABU, has been producing this survey, but never formally presented to the public.‖ He also criticised the survey as being one-sided, due to its concentration on only the wet season farming, noting that Nigeria did so well in its dry season farming.

Lokpobiri noted that for over two years of being a minister, he never received a copy of any of the previous surveys from NAERLS, decrying over-dependence on data generated by foreign organisations, which might not represent the true situation of Nigeria.

5

He noted that investors had trooped to the ministry to establish farms and production facilities, but were discouraged due to lack of data.He therefore stressed the need for NAERLS to ensure annual public presentation and commercialisation of the report to generate more revenue for government.

Wheat losses Indeed, the study showed that in the wheat sector, farmers were facing tumults challenges and this is fueling unrest.

Particularly, the report said that Nigeria lost fortunes of wheat production amid post-harvest losses, lack of quality seeds and other inputs, as well as non-availability of farming implements.

Realistically, these factors hindered Nigeria‘s quest to achieve the set target of 1.5 million tons wheat production earmarked for 2018 as many of the farmers were forced to abandon their hectares of wheat farms.

Farmers’ plight Speaking on the issues in a chat with New Telegraph, a member of Wheat Farmers Association of Nigeria (WFAN), said lack of improved seeds had forced farmers in Gombe State to abandon their initial plans of cultivating 10,000 hectares of wheat farms in the state. ―Our cultivation is limited by lack of quality seeds and farming implements. Most of our farmers complained that the available seeds have been planted and replanted for over five years. This has resulted in deterioration in terms of crop quality, as the crop yield will not be good,‖ he said.

He lamented that good quality seeds, when available, were not enough for distribution to the farmers during the period under review. ―Initially, Lake Chad Research Institute brought us foundation seeds, but the problem we had then was that the seeds, which were of good quality, were not sufficient. Those farmers who were able to plant the crop early enough harvested three to four tons on each hectare of farmland, while those that planted late realised between one and two tons per hectare,‘‘ the source said.

Last line Ironically, many Nigerians have been deceived under the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari that the country‘s agric sector is recording unprecedented achievement, but the realities on the ground depicts the contrary. https://newtelegraphonline.com/2018/03/taming-nigerias-food-import-bills/

MPCA challenges judge's ruling on sulfate limit

By John Myers / Forum News Service on Mar 29, 2018 at 9:58 a.m.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Wednesday said it has filed a response defending its proposed wild rice sulfate standard that in January was panned by a state administrative law judge.

PCA officials say their proposed sulfate pollution standard is a good compromise that protects wild rice in places where sulfate pollution might damage it, but also allows more sulfate pollution in lakes and rivers where it may not harm the plant.

The new, lake-by-lake standard would replace a long-standing but mostly unenforced statewide sulfate limit for wild rice waters that industry officials say is too restrictive and could cripple the state's taconite iron ore industry, as well as cost millions of dollars for municipal sewage plants to comply with.

8

Scientists say excess sulfate in some waters can spur the development of sulfides, which can starve wild rice of needed nutrients, damaging or even killing the plants.The PCA response this week, filed with the state's chief administrative law judge, addresses concerns raised in 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 also didn't properly consider concerns raised by tribal groups.

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.The judge 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 even 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.PCA officials on Wednesday 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, in a conference call with reporters.PCA officials say their response addresses most of the concerns raised by Schlatter in her January decision, and they are hopeful the chief administrative law judge will reconsider the decision and support the new sulfate rule with the changes made.A decision is expected in the coming weeks.

But even if the chief judge reverses the January decision, the future of the proposed sulfate rule is in question. Several state lawmakers, pushed by the state's mining industry, are advancing legislation that would prohibit the PCA from enforcing the new or old sulfate pollution limits, saying their impact on industry, jobs and commerce would be devastating. One bill also calls for a wild rice task force that would address multiple issues that threaten wild rice, not just sulfate pollution.

9

Meanwhile, tribal and environmental interests have panned the PCA's effort as too lax on industry, saying there's no scientific basis for a lake-by-lake standard that would be confusing, hard to enforce and not as protective as the existing statewide standard for wild rice. They are calling for enforcement of the existing statewide sulfate limit.

Tribal entities could ask the federal Environmental Protection Agency to step in and decide the issue if they believe it's not protective of tribal pollution limits where they have regulatory authority, such as where rivers flow through reservations.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 prevent wild rice from thriving 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.agweek.com/business/agriculture/4424384-mpca-challenges-judges-ruling-sulfate-limit

EU to probe exports of rice Fri Mar 30 2018 14:41:45 GMT+0500 (Pakistan Standard Time)

The European Commission has found sufficient evidence to launch an investigation into whether Cambodian rice exported to the EU puts an unfair burden on European rice farmers, potentially imperiling the Kingdom‘s tariff-free exports to the bloc.

The investigation was launched on March 16 in response to a request from Italy, which called for ―safeguard measures‖ – most commonly import restrictions or tariffs – to be imposed on rice from both Cambodia and Myanmar, according to a notification of the investigation published in the EU‘s official journal.

10

―Having determined . . . that there is sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a proceeding, the Commission hereby initiates an investigation pursuant to Article 24 of the GSP Regulation,‖ the notification says, referring to the Generalised Scheme of Preferences, which currently grants Cambodian exports taxfree entry in the European market under the Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme.

Under the GSP‘s Article 24, import tariffs can be re-applied to a product if it is determined that the product ―is imported in volumes and/or at prices which cause, or threaten to cause, serious difficulties to European Union producers of like or directly competing products‖.

Any re-introduction of tariffs on Cambodian rice could have disastrous effects on the industry. The EU accounted for more than 40 percent of Cambodia‘s total recorded rice exports last year.

The EU Commission‘s investigation team has already held their first meeting with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Commerce according to Hean Vanhan, directorgeneral of the Agriculture Ministry‘s General Directorate of Agriculture. ―We are now meeting with the EU, and we have no idea about the result yet,‖ he said.―If there is no political interference, I believe that the negotiation will not be difficult, as our exports are based on the EBA agreement.‖Vanhan declined to provide further details about the meeting.

Representatives from the Commerce Ministry could not be reached yesterday.

Cambodian rice sector representatives said yesterday that the investigation was worrisome, and questioned the legitimacy of Italy‘s complaint.―Our rice species are different from Italy‘s rice, so

11

what they raise up, it is not possible to hurt their local producers,‖ said Hun Lak, vice president of the Cambodia Rice Federation.

Lak stressed the investigation and subsequent ruling should not be related to the Kingdom‘s deteriorating political situation, as did Song Saran, CEO of AMRU Rice, one of the country‘s largest rice exporters.

While the EBA agreement overall is dependent on certain conditions related to political and labour rights, the specific clauses underpinning the rice investigation do not mention rights.―The investigation from the EU is a huge concern, and threatens rice exporters and farmers‘ living condition,‖ Saran said yesterday, arguing that Italy‘s concerns were due to global market factors and not related to Cambodian rice. ―The drop down of rice prices impacts not only Italy‘s rice market, it is a global issue,‖ Saran said. ―We export only fragrant rice, and the volume is not as big as what Italy is saying.‖The share of the EU rice market captured by Cambodian rice has grown from 13 percent five years ago to 21 percent last year, according to the EU. Meanwhile, the share of the rice market controlled by European producers has fallen from 52 percent to 30 percent over the same period.Italian rice farmers have complained about Cambodian rice imports since at least 2014, but this is the first time a formal investigation has been launched by the commission.EU regulations stipulate the investigation must be completed within a year of its March 16 starting date. https://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/eu-probe-exports-rice

State-of-the-art: Scientists introduce latest machine for wheat sowing

By Arsalan Altaf March 30, 2018 Farmers in Punjab celebrate rainfall in cropping season ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (Parc) has introduced a new machine that will allow farmers to easily cultivate wheat in rice fields.The machine, named Pak Seeder, helps in wheat sowing without having the need to remove rice residue and prepare land for plantation.

12

Handling rice residue has been a major challenge for farmers in the rice and wheat cropping system. The residue is either removed or spread over the field manually.Mostly, the farmers prefer to burn it as an easy and cost-effective way of disposal. However, this process not only causes loss of precious crop nutrients, but also poses a threat to the environment, human health and economy. It also contributes to smog during winter which has become a major public health and environmental issue, particularly in Punjab, in recent years.

According to Parc, the new technology will address these crucial issues.Talking to The Express Tribune, Parc officials said it took almost a decade to design the new machine and make experiments, adding the machine was launched and exhibited for the farmers near Muridke on Saturday last week.Different approaches were made and experiments conducted over the past 12 years that led to the development of Pak Seeder. ―It is a unique technology that helps sow wheat without disturbing the soil condition or removing the rice residue,‖ said a statement issued by Parc.

13

―Rice and wheat growers can conserve their resources, time and money by adopting this technology. It not only improves soil‘s biological and physical health, but also increases wheat and rice yields.‖Parc Chairperson Dr Yusuf Zafar appreciated efforts of Parc engineers and scientists for developing the state-of-the-art machine for wheat sowing in the presence of heavy rice residue for the first time in Pakistan. ―It will help in increasing earnings of rice farmers and wheat growing areas. Burning of rice residue has been a big problem for Pakistan as well as South Asian countries and Pak Seeder is a breakthrough, which will not only save time and resources, but will also enhance crop production,‖ said Zafar said while speaking at the launch ceremony.

Highlighting the role of scientists, manufacturers, service providers and farmers in introducing the technology, he emphasised that Parc engineers were playing a vital role in developing resource conservation technologies like Pak Seeder. International Centre for Agriculture Research in Dry Areas (Icarda) Country Head Dr Abdul Majid outlined his organisation‘s role and activities in Pakistan, saying research was not a one-day process, rather it took years to resolve a problem. He underlined the importance of farmers‘ role and cooperation with machinery manufacturers and researchers in further developing Pak Seeder.After its successful launch, Parc will sign a memorandum of understanding with the manufacturers for promoting the technology on commercial lines.

India rice prices rise on muted supply Reuters, Bengaluru 12:00 AM, March 30, 2018 / LAST MODIFIED: 12:00 AM, March 30, 2018

Rice export prices rose in India this week on limited supply and improved demand, while a lack of fresh overseas interest weighed on the staple market in Thailand.In top exporter India, prices for the 5 percent broken parboiled variety rose by $6 to $425-$429 per tonne amid reduced supply.Demand from African and Asian buyers has also been better than last week, said an exporter based in Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major rice importer since 2017 after floods damaged its crops, imported more than 3.5 million tonnes during the July to March period, and has already exceeded its previous annual import record, data from the country's food ministry showed this week.

Bangladesh could buy more rice in the next few months, given the high prices in the domestic markets, a food ministry official said on Thursday.Prices edged higher in Vietnam as well, with rates for the 5percent broken rice rising to $410-$428 a tonne from $405-415 last week as farmers and agents slowed

17

sales, in anticipation of potential overseas deals.―Farmers and trading agents are still refraining from selling strongly as they are waiting for more information about government-to-government contracts, especially one with the Philippines,‖ a Ho Chi Minh City-trader said.Vietnam exported 1.35 million metric tonnes of rice in the first quarter this year, up 9.1 percent from a year earlier, the government's General Statistics Office (GSO) said on Thursday.Rice export revenue in the January-March period rose 23.8 percent to $668 million, while shipments in March totalled 520,000 tonnes valued at $260 million, compared with 340,000 tonnes worth $169 million in February, the GSO said.

As for Thailand, prices of the benchmark 5 percent broken rice variety were in a $415-$435 per tonne range, free on board (FOB) Bangkok, compared with $430-$432 last week, amid a lack of fresh deals.―Many exporters are now looking for new deals in markets like Indonesia and the Philippines,‖ a Bangkok-based rice trader said. http://www.thedailystar.net/business/global-business/india-rice-prices-rise-muted-supply-1555507.

Now, a scanner to check paddy quality VISHWANATH KULKARNIT+ T-

Priced at ₹6 lakh, the Amvicube PA-200 helps grade quality without de-husking the paddy.

Developed by a rice miller in Raichur, Karnataka, it can analyse samples within minutes BENGALURU, MARCH 29 Palm de-husking, the conventional practice to assess paddy samples, could soon be a thing of the past.A rice-miller based in Raichur, Karnataka, has developed a paddy scanner that carries out a physical analysis of the sample within minutes and helps buyers — mainly millers and

18

procurement agencies — make informed decisions and curb pilferages.―The device, named Amvicube Paddy Analyser – PA-200, is the first of its kind in the world,‖ claimed Vikram A Sreerama, managing partner of Shriya Rice Mills in Raichur. ―The scanner works on the principle of absorption and reflection technology and is powered with a simple touchscreen. Once the grains are placed in the designated tray, the scanner analyses the paddy for its physical qualities — such as length and width — while identifying the percentage of brokens, all without removing the husk,‖ he adds.

Apart from palm de-husking, rice millers also currently use small mills, where 100-200 grams of paddy is milled to identify the percentage of brokens and colour.

PA-200 also helps identify contamination, by finding out the mixture of other variety grains in the sample, if any, and displays the result within 2.5 minutes, which can then be e-mailed or sent through SMS, says Sreerama, managing partner of Amvicube, the start-up that has developed the product using various electronic components largely available in the country.―Besides the design, it is more to do with the calibration, alignment, sensor orientation and algorithims,‖ says Sreerama, adding that the scanner can store the results and also has an in-built printer.

While the Karnataka government has provided a grant for Amvicube to help commercialise PA200, the Centre has assisted the company in filing a patent for PA-200, which is priced at around ₹6 lakh.

Amvicube has sold about 25 scanners, mainly in Raichur, and is in talks with entities such as Rashtriya e-Market Services, which operates the unified markets platform in the APMCs of Karnataka and e-NAM, to deploy these machines as the talk of assaying gains ground in the agrimarketing space.

Amvicube figured as the most innovative product in the post-harvest space at the recent IndoIsrael Agri Challenge.―We are looking at bigger companies to take this product across the country and plan to come out with variants that can sample pulses such as tur, chana and other grains,‖ Sreerama adds.

Himanshu Jobanputra of Shreeji Agrotech in Raichur, who has been using PA-200 for three months now, says the scanner helps him determine the accurate price of paddy. Millers normally depend on middlemen to purchase paddy and the price depends on the extent of brokens in the grains.

19

―Accurate identification of brokens through scanning helps fix the right price, thus avoiding pilferages,‖ Himanshu adds.However, at ₹6 lakh, the scanner is out of reach for millers, many of whom lease out mills for ₹5 lakh per annum, says Krishna Rao of the Pattabhi Agro Foods and president of Rice Exporters Association. ―Maybe it is targeted at large mills, mainly the basmati people,‖ he adds https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/now-a-scanner-to-check-paddyquality/article23385149.ece

MPCA challenges judge's ruling on sulfate limit

By John Myers on Mar 28, 2018 at 5:56 p.m.

9 Wild rice harvested on Perch Lake on the Fond du Lac Reservation gleams in the sunlight.

(News Tribune file photo) The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Wednesday said it has filed a response defending its proposed wild rice sulfate standard that in January was panned by a state administrative law judge.

PCA officials say their proposed sulfate pollution standard is a good compromise that protects wild rice in places where sulfate pollution might damage it, but also allows more sulfate pollution in lakes and rivers where it may not harm the plant.The new, lake-by-lake standard would replace a long-standing but mostly unenforced statewide sulfate limit for wild rice waters that industry officials say is too restrictive and could cripple the state's taconite iron ore industry, as well as cost millions of dollars for municipal sewage plants to comply with.

Scientists say excess sulfate in some waters can spur the development of sulfides, which can starve wild rice of needed nutrients, damaging or even killing the plants.The PCA response this week, filed with the state's chief administrative law judge, addresses concerns raised in 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 also didn't properly consider concerns raised by tribal groups.

20

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.The judge 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 even 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.

PCA officials on Wednesday 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, in a conference call with reporters.PCA officials say their response addresses most of the concerns raised by Schlatter in her January decision, and they are hopeful the chief administrative law judge will reconsider the decision and support the new sulfate rule with the changes made.

A decision is expected in the coming weeks.But even if the chief judge reverses the January decision, the future of the proposed sulfate rule is in question. Several state lawmakers, pushed by the state's mining industry, are advancing legislation that would prohibit the PCA from enforcing the new or old sulfate pollution limits, saying their impact on industry, jobs and commerce would be devastating. One bill also calls for a wild rice task force that would address multiple issues that threaten wild rice, not just sulfate pollution.

Meanwhile, tribal and environmental interests have panned the PCA's effort as too lax on industry, saying there's no scientific basis for a lake-by-lake standard that would be confusing, hard to enforce and not as protective as the existing statewide standard for wild rice. They are calling for enforcement of the existing statewide sulfate limit.

21

Tribal entities could ask the federal Environmental Protection Agency to step in and decide the issue if they believe it's not protective of tribal pollution limits where they have regulatory authority, such as where rivers flow through reservations.

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 prevent wild rice from thriving 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/science-and-nature/4424101-mpca-challenges-judgesruling-sulfate-limit

Chinese Oranges and Indian Apples: A tale of two trade statements There is little in common between the official statements of India and China after recent trade talks Sai Manish | New Delhi Last Updated at March 29, 2018 15:37 IST 6

On the face of it, the eleventh session of the China-India joint group on economic relations, trade, and science and technology (JEG), co-chaired by India‘s commerce minister Suresh Prabhu and his Chinese counterpart Zhong Shan, seems to have started and ended on a happy note. However, the official statements of both countries paints a contrary picture. The Indians claimed to have negotiated for things the Chinese seem to be blissfully unaware of. The Chinese seem to have put forth an agenda the Indians seem to be innocuously oblivious to (See Graphic).

The Chinese statement released by Xinhua on March 27 talks of an offer that is an attractive proposition for the Narendra Modi administration. According to Xinhua, one of the seven

22

proposals put out by China includes ―dovetailing the Belt and Road initiative with India‘s 15year vision plan, Make in India and Digital India programs.‖ Reports suggest China is looking to invest $800 billion over the next five years on the Belt & Road initiative, seeking to create a Eurasian trading contiguity with China as the nerve centre. India‘s official statement, meanwhile, completely steers clear of the Belt & Road Initiative.

New Delhi's primary concern, according to its statement, was to ―promote balanced and sustainable bilateral trade.‖ The statement further read, ―The Chinese side noted India‘s concern regarding the long existing trade imbalance and requests for market access of Indian products and services.‖ China meanwhile ―hoped‖ that India could increase its exports to China by ―participating in the China International Import Expo (CIIE).‖ The first ever CIIE will be held in November 2018 in Shanghai and is an exhibition of exporters from different countries for their respective products. India‘s concern, which seems to have been lightly staved off in the Chinese statement, is based on glaring trade gap between the two nations since the Modi government

23

came to power. India‘s exports to China have declined by 14 per cent since 2014-15. Its imports, meanwhile, have increased by 5 per cent even as India has imported lesser and lesser from the world since 2014-15. As of February 2018, India‘s trade deficit with China stands at $53 billion and has widened by 9 per cent since the Modi government came to power.

India has been lobbying hard for market access for some of its agricultural products in China to narrow down this burgeoning trade deficit. Among other products, India‘s statement mentioned ―non-basmati rice, soya meals, okra, banana and bovine meat‖ and said that the Chinese had ―reaffirmed their commitment‖ to accelerating market access for these commodities. The Chinese statement does not mention any commitment to allowing access to Indian farm products to its market. In fact, the Chinese statement implies quite the opposite. It quotes Suresh Prabhu saying, ―India welcomes Chinese businesses to increase investment and boost their market share in India.‖ India‘s concerns that failed to find a mention in the Chinese statement were driven by the fact that the country's buffalo meat exports have declined since the Modi government assumed power and China, which has banned Indian imports for hygiene reasons, represents a huge opportunity for India‘s cara beef exporters. Despite the fact that Chinese cuisine makes generous use of soya products, the nation has clamped down on import of the commodity from India over the past few years. India‘s soya meal exports to China have plummeted from $10 million in 2014-15 to a little more than $1 million in 2016-17. Similarly, China is also the world‘s largest rice importer but barely procures any rice from India. While India‘s basmati exports to China are negligible, none of the non-basmati parboiled rice worth almost $1.55 billion that it shipped abroad in 2017-18 reached Chinese shores.

Similarly, the Indian side mentioned that both nations ―had re-affirmed their aim to promote bilateral trade in the field of pharmaceuticals, including resolution of issues of Indian pharma exports to Chinese markets.‖ But the release put out by Xinhua doesn‘t even mention this concern as having being either discussed or under consideration for resolution by the Chinese.

Things seem to have come a full circle for India, since it had made a similar push for its pharma products with China during the last Joint Group on Economic Relations, Trade Science and Technology meeting held in September 2014. Despite exporting billions of dollars‘ worth of cheap generic medicines across the world, India‘s exports to China have been negligible even as most of the active chemical compounds that go into manufacturing such drugs come from China.

24

Former commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman had informed Parliament that the reason for this was that it was taking anywhere from four to seven years for Indian pharmaceutical companies to register their products in China. And despite India‘s request in 2014, things barely seemed to have improved since then, despite a memorandum of understanding being signed between the two nations on this particular issue during the much celebrated visit of the Chinese president to India in September 2014. Since 2014-15, India‘s global pharma exports have grown from $11.5 billion to almost $13 billion in 2016-17. Exports to China meanwhile have declined from about $30 million to $27 million during the same period.

None of the other Chinese assertions in their seven-point agenda, such as improving business environment for Chinese products, cooperation in human resources and establishment of a trade facilitation joint working group, are acknowledged in the Indian statement http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:S67DQtLVUJAJ:www.businessstandard.com/article/economy-policy/chinese-oranges-and-indian-apples-a-tale-of-two-trade-statements118032900462_1.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=pk

Iraq Waives Withholding Payment, Should Clear Way for Future U.S. Tenders

By Sarah Moran WASHINGTON, DC - Recently, Iraq instituted a new tendering rule that would have resulted in U.S. rice being forced to completely withdraw from the Iraq market, however, it appears a solution has been found. In question was a new rule requiring 10 percent of the payment to any U.S. exporter be held by the Iraqi tax authorities until completion of the goods delivery and the certification that the exporter does not owe taxes in Iraq. The method of first withholding 10 percent of the payment and then subsequent certification conflict with standard anti-bribery policies.

Representatives Rick Crawford (R-AR) and Ralph Abraham (R-LA) individually sent letters to U.S. Ambassador Douglas Silliman in Baghdad, urging his assistance. The strong relationships between U.S. embassy personnel in Baghdad and officials at the Ministry of Trade and Ministry of Finance that were forged during the 2016 development and signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the parties helped resolve this issue in an efficient and practical manner, with a waiver of this withholding for the Iraqi Grain Board. Prime Minister Haider alAbadi has signed the waiver, clearing the way for U.S. participation in tenders.

25

However, the current tender for 30,000 metric tons of rice does not reflect the new waiver, so it is unclear if U.S. companies will be able to participate."The U.S. rice industry eagerly awaits a fair and transparent MOU tender that we can participate in," said Brian King, USA Rice chairman. "This incident clearly demonstrates the need for USA Rice to Help him help you remain vigilant in the market, along with key industry allies in Congress and the State Department, as they have done. Our growers are looking for stable, dependable markets, and we all believe Iraq can be a great success story for us."

Domestic Usage Report Survey Released, Full Participation Urged MARCH 29, 2018 / 4:19 PM /

By Jesica Kincaid ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - Yesterday, USA Rice released the 2016-2017 Domestic Usage Report (DUR) survey to members and is requesting full industry participation. This useful annual report tracks milled rice shipments within the United States by rice type and market sector and provides excellent data to industry watchers. "The entire U.S. rice industry benefits from a comprehensive report," USA Rice DUR Subcommittee Chairman Gary Reifeiss said. "Gaining a solid perspective on current market conditions and market segment shipments helps identify opportunities for growth, and sometimes challenges for all of us. I strongly encourage all recipients to contribute to the survey."

Companies that participate in development of the DUR will receive the final report free of cost; others will be required to purchase the report. Participants are asked to submit their contributions

by April 30.

Same USDA Estimates Rice Acreage Up 9 Percent, Less than Expected

By Michael Klein WASHINGTON, DC - Rice plantings in 2017 were down significantly and many industry watchers were expecting an acreage bump in 2018. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service's Prospective Plantings report released today, acreage will be higher, but not by very much.Area planted for rice in 2018 is expected to total 2.69 million acres, 208,000 more than what was actually planted in 2017.

27

The greatest gain is seen in the top rice producing state of Arkansas, projected to have 1.33 million acres, up from 1.11 million, but still below the 1.5 million acres planted in 2016.

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri are projected to collectively plant 54,000 more acres of rice than those states did in 2017. Surprisingly, Texas and California are projected to be below 2017 levels by 11,000 and 55,000 acres respectively. Longgrain, representing 75 percent of the total rice acreage, is expected to be 210,000 acres above 2017 totals.

Medium-grain, now 23 percent of the total rice acreage, is down two percent to 609,000 acres - 63 percent of which is reported to be planted in California. Area planted for all shortgrain varieties, representing less than two percent of production, is anticipated to be up 24 percent from last year's total.The USDA report is based on information supplied to USDA by growers, and though generally accurate within 5 percent, actual planted acres could vary. The Rice Acreage Report, based on actual planted acres, will be published at the end of June.

India rice prices rise on muted supply; lack of deals weighs on Thailand Arpan Varghese MARCH 29, 2018 / 4:19 PM /

BENGALURU (Reuters) - Rice export prices rose in India this week on limited supply and improved demand, while a lack of fresh overseas interest weighed on the staple market in Thailand.

In top exporter India, prices for the 5 percent broken parboiled variety rose by $6 to $425-$429 per tonne amid reduced supply.Demand from African and Asian buyers has also been better than last week, said an exporter based

28

in Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major rice importer since 2017 after floods damaged its crops, imported more than 3.5 million tonnes during the July to March period, and has already exceeded its previous annual import record, data from the country‘s food ministry showed this week.Bangladesh could buy more rice in the next few months, given the high prices in the domestic markets, a food ministry official said on Thursday.

Prices edged higher in Vietnam as well, with rates for the 5-percent broken rice rising to $410-$428 a tonne from $405-415 last week as farmers and agents slowed sales, in anticipation of potential overseas deals. ―Farmers and trading agents are still refraining from selling strongly as they are waiting for more information about government-to-government contracts, especially one with the Philippines,‖ a Ho Chi Minh City-trader said.

Vietnam exported 1.35 million metric tonnes of rice in the first quarter this year, up 9.1 percent from a year earlier, the government‘s General Statistics Office (GSO) said on Thursday.Rice export revenue in the January-March period rose 23.8 percent to $668 million, while shipments in March totalled 520,000 tonnes valued at $260 million, compared with 340,000 tonnes worth $169 million in February, the GSO said.

As for Thailand, prices of the benchmark 5 percent broken rice variety were in a $415-$435 per tonne range, free on board (FOB) Bangkok, compared with $430-$432 last week, amid a lack of fresh deals. ―Many exporters are now looking for new deals in markets like Indonesia and the Philippines,‖ a Bangkok-based rice trader said. ―But demand remains flat and so far we are only shipping rice to China from old purchase orders.‖ Many exporters are buying up rice now due to speculation about deals with other Southeast Asian markets, another trader said.

29

The Thai government on Thursday announced that it would sell 44,000 tonnes of rice for human consumption from its state stockpiles in April and May.This sale could drive prices higher next month, traders said. https://in.reuters.com/article/asia-rice/india-rice-prices-rise-on-muted-supply-lack-of-deals-weighs-onthailand-idINKBN1H51G2

S. Korea's rice production costs up in 2017 2018/03/29 12:00 FacebookT wittergoo gle plu sPinterestLin ked inTumblrRed ditFaceboo k MessengerMore

SEJONG, March 29 (Yonhap) -- Rice production costs in South Korea rebounded in 2017, snapping three straight years of decline, a government report showed Thursday.Farmers spent a total of 691,374 won (US$648) to grow rice on a 1,000-square meter paddy last year, up 2.5 percent from the previous year's 674,340 won, according to the report by Statistics Korea.

Overall costs, including money used to buy fertilizer and pesticides, inched up 1.6 percent on-year to 447,775 won, and land-borrowing costs and other indirect expenses rose 4.3 percent to 243,598 won over the cited period.The gross income of rice farmers came to 974,553 won per 1,000-square meter paddy last 30

year, up 13.8 percent from a year earlier due mainly to a sharp rise in rice prices, the latest report showed. http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/2018/03/29/0200000000AEN201803290 03300320.html

Why I'm Quitting GMO Research' Constantly confronting people who think my research will harm them is profoundly distressing Devang Mehta A few weeks ago, like thousands of other scientists around the globe have done before, I stood up in front of a public audience and ―defended‖ my PhD thesis to a jury of senior scientists.The PhD defence is probably the single-most significant milestone in a career in science. It‘s part examination and part ritual. PhD defences in the Netherlands, for instance, feature a robed jury and a master of ceremonies with a ceremonial mace. In my university in Switzerland, tradition dictates that PhD students get whimsical ―hats‖ made by fellow researchers which are donned just as the results (hopefully a pass) are announced. My hat featured (among several digs at my Twitter fixation) references to CRISPR technology and

34

the several genetically-modified plants I worked on for my PhD.You see, for the last four years I‘ve been embedded in a Swiss research group that specialises in creating genetically modified organisms, or GMOs (scientists prefer to use the terms genetic engin eered organisms or transgenics rather than GMO). And no, we are not funded by Monsanto, and our GMOs are largely patent-free.

Nevertheless, my time in GMO research creating virus-resistant plants has meant dealing with the overwhelming negative responses the topic evokes in so many people. These range from daily conversations halting into awkward silence when the subject of my work crops up, to hateful Twitter trolls, and even the occasional fear that public protesters might destroy our research. Little wonder then that, having finished my PhD, I‘m part-excited and part-relieved to move to a new lab and work on more fundamental questions in plant biology: how plants are able to control the levels at which their genes are active.

Unfortunately, I am not alone. The first commercially available GMO crops were first developed in the early 1990s in publicly funded labs in Europe and the US. In the years since, as many as a quarter of European universities have shut down their GMO research programs, some due to a loss of funding and others because scientists are leaving the GMO sphere, tired of the backlash and criticism.

35

My first experience of the intensity of anti-GMO belief occurred during a public panel discussion about patenting crops and GMOs organised by my colleagues. The panel was interrupted by a protestor shouting about how GM food was responsible for their American friends‘ child‘s autism. As the panelists tried to explain, there is no causal link between autism and GMOs (or vaccines for that matter) and GMOs have repeatedly been found to be perfectly safe for human consumption. But the protestor readily dismissed these arguments in favour for what can only be described as a fervently held, conspiracist belief. It really showed how futile researchers‘ attempts at science communication can be.

The Discourse

Credit: hikinghillman/Flickr Interactions like these – in person and over social media – happen all the time in discussions about GMOs and vaccines across the globe. There seems to be a constituency of aggrieved activists convinced that some scientists are out to harm their children, and nothing we can say will ever change their minds.

36

Personally, the thought that no matter what steps I take there‘s always going to be people who think my research will harm them is profoundly distressing, and feels really unfair. Unfair because as GMO researchers, we are required to do the type of heavy lifting when it comes to arguing for science that I feel my colleagues in fundamental research never have to. For instance, one of my best friends works on a cure for a rare skin disorder. I‘m fairly certain he has never had to deal with questions like, ―is your research going to be patented?‖ or the evergreen accusations of being a shill for Big Agriculture. Apart from the sheer hate spewed by anti-GM activists both in person and online, I also find fault with my fellow scientists. Too often, other scientists ignore the issue of GMOs, or just treat it as a technology that we can do without (we can‘t, by the way – not if we want to feed nine billion people by 2050). For example, it is an open-secret among the plant science community in Europe that GMOresearch proposals have a very low chance of getting public funding. This is despite the fact that several European agencies, scientific societies and publicly funded studies have deemed GMOs perfectly safe and even a valuable tool to fight world hunger.

One result of this demonization of GMOs, even in academia, is that researchers in a newer field of genetic engineering called synthetic biology now use the ―GMO-case‖ as an example of bad science communication, and try to draw nonscientific boundaries between GMO crop research and their own, possibly in an attempt to escape the GMO tag.

Scientists working with new breeding technologies do the very same thing. In an attempt to avoid the GMO label, they‘ve begun to draw up, in my opinion, nonsensical distinctions between different types of genetic engineering products such as cisgenics and GMOs/transgenics (the former are plants which have been engineered to contain ―genes‖ from the same or related species, instead of transgenics, which contain genes from a different species). This is a scientifically meaningless distinction created simply due to a fear of, again, the ―GMO‖ label. With the advent of CRISPR, I have noticed the same phenomenon where scientists market their CRISPR products by proudly saying they‘re ―non-GMO,‖ even though they know that GMOs are just fine to consume and grow.

37

Protests in San Francisco Protests in San Francisco. Credit: msdonnalee/Flickr Another part of what makes science communication particularly difficult for GMOresearchers like me is the enormous gulf between anti-GM activists in the rich world and the farmers and consumers in the Global South for whom we conduct our science. As an Indian scientist working in Switzerland, I see this all the time at work. How am I supposed to explain the consequences of abandoning a technology that can help feed millions to Swiss students who enjoy the world‘s highest standard of living? I have yet to find the answer, and I don‘t think I ever will.

Beyond the issue of public acceptance and, frankly, a caving-in of many in the scientific community to pseudoscientific beliefs, I‘m also glad to be moving away from transgenic research because antiGMO activism over the last couple of decades has made a career in GMO research a risky proposition. The lab where I conducted my thesis research has a storied history in GMO science.

It was in this Swiss lab (and with collaborators across the border in Germany) that Golden Rice was conceived and created.

Golden Rice is a vitamin-A-fortified rice developed specifically for Asian countries where it has the potential to alleviate the problem of vitamin-A deficiency (the leading cause of preventable blindness in children). The scientist behind the project, Ingo Potrykus, started the research in 1991 and produced the first Golden Rice plants in 1999 – a remarkable achievement that saw him grace the cover of Time magazine. (Potrykus retired from my university that year.) Almost 20 years later, his creation, a plant variety that has repeatedly passed regulatory safety testing, is still not available to the children who need it most.A couple of years ago, Potrykus (then 81), published an article in the journal The Annual Review

38

of Plant Biology, titled ―From the Concept of Totipotency to Biofortified Cereals‖ – which, unlike the very academic name suggests, is a fascinating autobiography of a ―successful‖ GMO researcher. In the article, Potrykus presents a firsthand account of how the initial excitement of creating rice grains containing vitamin A slowly turned into a story of repeated disappointment. He recounts his joy at being able to present his astonishing findings at his retirement seminar at my university and then the slow deceleration of the project in the face of public opposition.

From negative press driven by anti-GMO activists; regulatory blocks which slowed down the adoption of the technology into rice varieties used by Asian farmers; reluctance by public institutions to face down activist opposition; and a lack of funding for various experiments, the 20-year story of Golden Rice is one of continual despair.

Nevertheless, the Golden Rice project (and its more recent successes) has inspired several other European scientists to initiate publicly funded research into GMO-crops for noncommercial gain. Among these are my PhD supervisors, who have staked large portions of their careers on GMO-research.

However, to me, Potrykus‘ autobiography reads like a cautionary tale for a young scientist. I just cannot find the kind of unreasonable optimism dosed with a spoonful of fatalism that GMO-research in the current climate of public opinion calls for. Potrykus himself says it bestwhen reflecting on the Golden Rice story: ―Although progress is slowly being made, had I known what this pursuit would entail, perhaps I would not have started. Hopefully Golden Rice will reach the needy during my lifetime.‖ I have spent four-and-a-half very rewarding years working in the field of GMO research. My research has given me the opportunity to visit smallholder farms in two African countries, to teach a student from the Global South the kind of modern biological techniques that remain a dream for many in her country, and to make discoveries that might help with an important problem in food security in the tropics. As a result, yes, I do feel a measure of guilt at leaving this field of research, and quitting my lab‘s quest to engineer better varieties of cassava for African and South Asian farmers halfway through the project.On balance though, I am, somewhat selfishly, glad to move on to a field of research that does not come with the same public relations challenges and the same degree of relentless suspicion. But you never know – perhaps the developed world may yet give publicly developed GMO technology the chance it deserves at feeding our fellow humans, and I may still return to the fold.This article was first published by Massive.

Course grains better than rice for health, environment 29/03/18

Copyright: Panos Speed read 

Rice less nutritive than wheat, millet or other coarse grains



Rice paddies release large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas



Dietary shift away from rice can boost nutrition and reduce emissions By: Ranjit Devraj [NEW DELHI] Shifting away from white, polished rice to a diet that includes more wheat and coarse grains can improve how Indians deal with micronutrient deficiencies, and reduce greenhouse gas (GhG) emissionsassociated with paddy cultivation, says a new study.

Published in the March edition of the journal Global Environmental Change, the study‘s findings are described by Narasimha Rao, the paper‘s author and project leader of ‗Decent Energy Living‘ at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, as the result of a ―hypothetical (ideal case) scenario analysis‖.

India grows a variety of coarse grains — including sorghum, pearl millet, maize, barley, and finger millet — as well as many ‗small millets‘ such as kodo millet, little millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, and barnyard millet.

However, the land devoted to cultivating millets has been steadily shrinking. According to a 2014 agricultural ministry status paper, the area under coarse grains shrank from 44.35 million hectares to 26.42 million hectares between the years 1966 and 2012.

The paper blamed India‘s ‗green revolution‘ in the mid-1960s, which focused on cultivation of wheat and rice to meet food security demands, for the decline of the area of coarse cereals. While wheat and rice received research, extension and market support, on the supply side there was a marked shift away from coarse grains, which it says had negative consequences for dietary

40

micronutrients.

Relying on India‘s National Sample Survey of Consumption Expenditure (2011‒12), Rao and his colleagues determined that around 500 million people, or more than two-thirds of the Indian population, are now affected by deficiencies in protein and micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A. ―We compared nutritional information for different food types including rice, cereals, meat, and dairy products and looked at costs to households and levels of GhG emissions in various scenarios, including those with subsidies,‖ says Rao. The worst of these life-threatening deficiencies is iron (90 per cent), followed by Vitamin A (85 per cent) and protein (50 per cent).

The study also shows that micronutrient deficiency to be worse in India‘s urban areas than in the rural hinterland.

“We have very detailed results in our study for optimal diets by region, but the main outcome for all regions is the need to shift away from rice” Narasimha Rao Devinder Sharma, a leading agro-economist, agrees. Sharma is chair of the Forum for Biotechnology and Food Security, a New Delhi-based collective of agriculture scientists, economists, biotechnologists, farmers and environmentalists. ―The result of policies that orphaned coarse grains, while favouring fine grains and cash crops such as soybeans and cotton, is now painfully evident as widespread micronutrient deficiencies,‖ he says.

Rao tells SciDev.Net that nutrient deficiencies were found less in the wheat-eating northern and western areas of the country than in the south and east, where rice is the staple food. ―We have very detailed results in our study for optimal diets by region, but the main outcome for all regions is the need to shift away from rice,‖ he says.

According to Rao, nutrient deficiency can be overcome within existing household budgets by diversifying diets to include coarse cereals, pulses, and leafy vegetables, and by reducing rice intake.

Additionally, if the suggested dietary changes are made, India‘s agricultural GhG emissions could be reduced by up to 25 per cent, according to the study. Rice paddies are a human-made source of methane, a GhG, but one that can be controlled.

41

Methane is produced by bacteria that digest straw ploughed back into fields in paddy fields to enrich it. Carbon dioxide is released when farmers resort to burning as a cheap way to get rid of agricultural residues.

However, current agricultural and food pricing policies may act as an impediment to dietary shifts, Rao says.

Under the 2013 National Food Security Act, two-thirds of India‘s population became eligible to receive five kilogrammes of grains at subsidised prices. These subsidies favour rice over wheat and wheat over coarse grains, despite the lower nutritional content of the former. ―It may not be immediately possible to generate a viable support price for coarse grains,‖ Rao surmises. And he notes other difficulties in shifting to coarse grains. ―There are a number of barriers, on the supply side — getting farmers to agree to scale up the production of coarse grains and convincing consumers to eat these grains.‖ According to Sharma, what is happening on the supply side is matched by a demand, in urban areas, for processed rice and wheat products. This is because they have shorter cooking times than coarse grains, he explains, and therefore are suited to the typical lifestyle of working couples. ―Nothing short of a complete overhaul of the agricultural system in the country is required,‖ says Sharma. ―Coarse grains are now gaining recognition as nutrient-rich and having desirable attributes such as drought-tolerance resilience to climate change, improving soil conditions and releasing less GhGs like methane, especially when compared to rice paddies,‖ he adds. https://www.scidev.net/global/nutrition/news/course-grains-better-than-rice-for-health-environment1x.html

SU-AG Center to release hybrid rice in Acadiana Mar 30, 2018 5:18 AM PSTUpdated: Mar 30, 2018 5:35 AM PST

By Josh Meny RAYNE, La. A new hybrid grain of rice developed in Crowley could mean more money for farmers."We have recently developed a hybrid rice variety called LAH-169," explained LSU Rice Research Center Hybrid Rice Breeder, Dr. Jim Orad.According to the LSU-

42

Ag Center, the new hybrid grain will have a higher yield allowing producers to grow about 15% more rice per acreage than any of the conventional varieties already grown in Acadiana.Ag Center officials say the new grain grows faster which means rice producers will need less fertilizer."It grows faster. And, if you add too much Nitrogen, it gets out of control. It freaks out!

And, it grows too tall, and it will lodge (fall)," explained Orad.The new hybrid is a cross between a line that was developed at LSU and a Chinese line. Orad says it's the Chinese line that makes this new rice more disease-resistant. This allows producers to use less fungicide which allows them to save on input costs.

GF&P Zaunbrecher Farms Co-Owner, Fred Zaunbrecher explained that he spends a lot on fungicide to grow his conventional rice paddies. ―Being from Louisiana, where the conditions are not tropical but close to it, we have a lot of heat and a lot of moisture, and that's very conducive to a lot of diseases that we do have,‖ explained Zaunbrecher.

One downside of the hybrid rice is the higher cost of its seeds.

However, officials and farmers hope that the export and domestic demand for the hybrids good grain clarity will offset the upfront cost of more costly seeds.

The LSU-Ag Rice Research Station in Rayne has economic models to assist producers in determining whether the hybrid rice be profitable for their particular farm. ―When we're producing a new variety we're providing another alternative, another option, to keep that farmer's margins high, keep them in business, keeping profitable," explained Orad.

The bidding for commercial development has just started.Percentages of the profits will go towards funding LSU-Ag Rice Research Station‘s research and services. http://www.katc.com/story/37843056/lsu-ag-center-to-release-hybrid-rice-in-acadiana
