News Detail… Japanese are eating less rice, and opting for bread and noodles A woman sprinkles salt on rice, having already consumed the side dishes of a bento in Tokyo.PHOTO: THE YOMIURI SHIMBUN JUL 3, 2018, 7:11 PM SGT

Ryo Kato (THE JAPAN NEWS/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - ―White rice doesn‘t have much flavour. I hardly even eat it — I prefer to eat many side dishes.‖ Such were the sentiments of a 31-year-old female company employee in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, who had eaten the side dishes in a bento she had bought for lunch. She ate a little of the untouched rice after adding salt. In her childhood, the woman was pushed to eat the white rice provided in school lunches, although she does not recall ever being scolded at home for not eating it.

―Sometimes it‘s a problem when I have a meal with business clients,‖ she said. ―I worry what others might think of a Japanese person who doesn‘t like rice. But I just don‘t like it.‖ A 32-year-old female company employee in Hino, Tokyo, is worried about her four-year-old son, who does not eat much rice. He says he likes it, but he eats the side dishes first. Her son eats rice and side dishes alternately only when he is told to do so, but goes back to consuming only the side dishes when his mother is not looking. Japanese are increasingly moving away from rice. Annual consumption per capita, which was 118kg in fiscal 1962, had fallen to 54kg in fiscal 2016. This is believed to be the result of the diversification of staple foods to include such things as bread and noodles. ―Recently, there‘s been an increase in the number of people with an aversion to white rice because they say it doesn‘t have much flavour, which is surprising,‖ said guest Professor Nobuko Iwamura at Taisho University who has been researching household meals for 20 years. According to her research, rice that has been flavoured, such as mixed rice, fried rice and rice served with stews, comprised nearly 50 per cent of the rice served at dinners in 2014 and 2015. That figure was at 30 per cent about 10 years ago. ―I think the reason for the aversion to white rice is that people no longer chew it well,‖ Prof Iwamura said. Saliva contains an enzyme that turns starch into sugar, so by chewing thoroughly, the sweet flavour comes through. According to research by Shigeru Saito, former director of the Japanese Society for Mastication Science and Health Promotion, before World War II, people chewed their food 1,420 times during a meal, which lasted about 22 minutes. Now, however, they chew 620 times and spend about 11 minutes eating. ―In the past, a big bowl of rice was eaten with small portions of salty side dishes and miso soup, and that would fill you up,‖ said Nami Fukutome, an expert on cooking culture. ―But now, the accompanying dish has become the main part of the meal. Soft foods that don‘t require much chewing have become popular, with hamburg steaks leading the way. There may be some people who think it‘s unnecessary to eat white rice that isn‘t flavoured.‖ The concept of ―kochu chomi‖ — chewing plain white rice and side dishes alternately and mixing them in one‘s mouth — is a characteristic of Japanese cuisine that appears to be declining. A good example of such a side dish is teriyaki, which is made with soya sauce and sugar. 3

―For kochu chomi, it‘s necessary to have proper dining etiquette, such as properly placing tableware and holding bowls,‖ said Professor Noriko Toyama of developmental psychology at Waseda University. ―For those who‘ve never experienced this, rice becomes a food with no flavour. The number of people who don‘t sense there is any flavour in rice is likely to increase.‖ Some childcare facilities have become aware of the problem. At Funabashi Asahi Kodomoen in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, teachers and dietitians make the rounds of the classroom during lunch time, guiding kids to eat side dishes and rice alternately and chew their food well. Once a month, it sets aside time to teach such things as table manners. ―Some children eat only the side dishes and leave the rice when they first join us,‖ said the facility's head Satomi Takahashi. ―However, most of them eat rice in time with our guidance.‖

How Bitcoin & Blockchain Benefits Can Improve A Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x;s Business By Bitcoin Exchange Guide News Team July 3, 2018

How Can Bitcoin Improve A Farmer's Business Opportunity? Digital technology has transformed the entire world but till now they have done little for transforming businesses for farmers. Bitcoin and Blockchain are here to change that. From apps to the blockchain technology behind bitcoin, farmers and smallholders are discovering new ways of doing business.

Let us take an example of Cocoa farmers in Ghana. The Olam Farmer Information System (OFIS) run by commodities giant Olam, has helped him more than triple output â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and reduce reliance on pesticides.

Olam Cocoa provides a range of interventions that help farmers sustainably increase their productivity from coaching in Good Agricultural Practices to providing access to agricultural inputs and finance. Diversification of income is also key to improving total household income and Olam works with youth associations and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s groups in activities such as beekeeping, intercropping and the development of community pruning teams.

The Olam Farmer Information System (OFIS) collects farm level data via a smartphone to identify where vital social infrastructure like schools are lacking alongside details of farmer families, like the number and age of children, if they are attending school or living within proximity of one. With this data, working with the cooperatives, they can identify any issues and find solutions. Currently, they have 100,000 cocoa farmers in Africa registered on the OFIS platform. 6

The OFIS app collects farm data and uses algorithms to make personalized recommendations to farmers about how to increase their yields. Olam apps allow products to be tracked when leaving the farm, and farmers can check cocoa prices and trade online, achieving a better price for their crops. Olam is a not-for-profit project tackling the wasteful supply chain inefficiencies by means of a standard, open-source platform on the blockchain which allows the various logistics stakeholders to connect and communicate seamlessly. Registered in Switzerland, the Olam Foundation harnesses blockchain technology enabling the global supply chain's various stakeholders to seamlessly connect, communicate and develop their business in a trusted environment. Olam also draws on knowledge from various international institutions like the International Rice Research Institute, the Africa Rice Center, CIRAD in France, Cornell University and the Rice Research and Training Center in Egypt. Apart from the above, Olam has an internal research and development facility to develop and adapt seeds to the local conditions, a seed cleaning plant and a state-of-the-art rice mill.

Notably, in Russia, farmers in Kolionovo, a town near Moscow, are already using blockchain technology. Under the leadership of local banker-turned farmer Mikhail Shlyapnikov, they have embraced a cryptocurrency called the kolion, which is earned by helping residents with farming or construction work. They raised $500,000 in an ICO last year which has a current worth of about $3.15 million USD.

Agriculture minister looks to Sarawak to boost food security 04 July 2018 By Azril Annuar

Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub speaks to Malay Mail at the Ministry of Agriculture in Putrajaya July 3, 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Picture by Miera Zulyana

KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub‘s main agenda for his upcoming official visit to Sarawak will be on improving the nation‘s rice production and food security.

Salahuddin said in an exclusive interview with the Malay Mail yesterday, he wants to speak to Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Abang Johari Openg about utilising land in the state for big scale rice farming. ―There‘s large tracts of land there (Sarawak). This weekend I will pay a visit on their Chief Minister. ―I‘ve also a programme with my Ministry (counterpart) in Sarawak. This will be the main agenda I will have with the Sarawak Chief Minister — to plant rice and other agriculture industry (activities),‖ said Salahuddin. Currently Malaysia produces enough food to sustain only 70 per cent of the population. Salahuddin wants to come up with a constructive strategic plan to achieve 80 per cent food sustainability in the next three years. He said that food security is the core of his ministry‘s ―business‖ and admitted currently local food production is insufficient. 8

―We still need to import (food), based on United Nations index our sustainability (rice) can only last us for 22 days,‖ said Salahuddin adding that the government is looking at new technologies and approach to improve domestic food sustainability. Last year Malaysia imported 725,533 metric tonnes (mt) of rice with Vietnam supplying nearly half of the imports at 45.8 per cent (332,781 mt), while Thailand came at a close second supplying 39.2 per cent (284,292 mt) of the total imports. In total the nation imported rice from 14 countries, including Cambodia (5.3 per cent), India (5 per cent) and Pakistan (4.2 per cent) where the imports were considered to be quite substantial. Australia, Bangladesh, Japan, Myanmar, Taiwan, USA, Uruguay, Korea and Indonesia on the other hand supplied less than one per cent of Malaysia‘s total rice imports. Salahuddin‘s Sarawak visit will be part of his agenda to push the nation‘s food productivity to 80 per cent of the population. His ministry still needs to come up with a proposal for the Sarawak government. He also said he was not worried about possible threats of economic sanctions from the European Union on possible mass logging to open up new agricultural lands as he only wants to utilise readily available land. ―We don‘t need to cut our forests just to have land in Sarawak. There‘s no need for it because there are already land in Sarawak. ―But we need to be serious and the Sarawak government must also work hand in hand with my ministry so that this plan will be successfully implemented,‖ Salahuddin said. Another idea the newly-minted minister wants to implement to increase domestic sustainability is utilising abandoned lands for crop production although at the moment it is still on the drawing board. ―Special crops will be planted on these abandoned lands. I don‘t have the figure now but we will utilise these lands. For instance, in Felda there are lands that are not used and we will try to do it in the whole country. ―Whether we can achieve it or not remains to be seen and we talk about it later,‖ said Salahuddin. https://www.malaymail.com/s/1648704/agriculture-minister-looks-to-sarawak-toboost-food-security

Rice imports technically banned as traded goods in Nigerian ports 9

by AMAKA ANAGOR-EWUZIE July 3, 2018 | 5:08 pm

The Federal Government has finally succeeded in putting an end to the importation of traded rice into the country, BusinessDay has learnt.Consequently, Nigerians now consumes rice produced in-country by local rice millers such as Olam, Stallion and other local rice millers, in line with the objectives of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice policy. It also means that any foreign parboiled rice found in Nigerian market today, was smuggled through the land borders.

BusinessDay understands that men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), especially Apapa Area command, which has rice import as one of its major revenue earning 10

commodities, has confirmed that no single vessel of traded rice has ever berthed in Apapa port in the last 18 months, January 2017 to June 2018.

Recall that the Federal Government had during the last administration put in place a 110 percent import duty and levy on rice to discourage heavy importation of rice that was taking place at that time. The policy generated several economic difficulties such that government was forced to reduce the tariff regime to 70 percent for importers and 20 percent for rice millers.

Also, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2015 listed rice among the 41 items restricted from accessing foreign exchange from the Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s official foreign exchange market. By implication, importers desirous of importing rice had to source for foreign exchange from alternative markets.

Joseph Attah, Customs national public relations officer had in January 2018, disclosed to newsmen that the government will no longer issue Form â&#x20AC;&#x2014;Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; to importers for importation of rice.

Confirming this, Jubrin Musa, Area Controller Apapa command, told members of the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria, who paid courtesy visit on him at the command in Lagos last week, that the command has not recorded any revenue on imported rice through the port since 2017.

―Form M issuance is not within the purview of Customs. It is a document that is sourced from CBN. If, we see any consignment that has form M, we treat. All goods imported that are for commercial activities must have form M whether valid for foreign exchange or not valid. From last year till date, no importation of rice has passed through Apapa and we have not seen any Form M on rice but the reason, we do not know,‖ he said.

Jubrin said that despite the zero duty recorded on rice, the command has not fared badly in its revenue generation as it has adopted various measures to up its revenue. He added that since the launch of the Nigeria Customs Integrated Information System (NICIS 11), an automated platform, the command‘s revenue has been on the increase.

According to him, the command collected N28 billion in April; N33 billion in May and N30 billion as at June 28th.

Leveraging Pakistan‟s rice production B R R E S E AR C H

JU L 3R D, 20 18

Pakistan‘s export basket comprises mostly of resource-based products where food takes the lion‘s share. While there are calls for shifting from agri-based exports to manufacturing exports all around, it is not likely that Pakistan will transition from exporting rice to exporting laptops in the next decade. However, what can be transitioned is value addition in the food sector. Rice exporter Matco Goods Limited has partnered with Ciranda, Inc., a global supplier of certified organic, nonGMO ingredients to produce two types of sweeteners: organic brown rice syrup and organic clarified brown rice syrup. This will aid Matco in exporting rice syrup to the US.Rice syrup in the form of liquid glucose is used for a variety of purposes from adding flavour and texture to chewing tobacco and cigarettes to acting as a preservative in confectionaries, baby foods, jellies and sauces. Global demand for rice glucose stands at about 1 million tons with major export markets comprising of USA, Europe, Middle and Australia. Though Pakistan is a major rice producer, its share in the rice glucose market is less than 3 percent. Pakistan‘s rice exports earnings for the current fiscal year were about $500 per ton. Due to value addition, rice glucose is sold for $1,200 per ton on average while the domestic selling price is in the range of Rs65,000 ($536) to Rs70,000 ($577). Despite the potential for this sector and the easy availability of the primary raw material for rice glucose, there were only two rice glucose factories in the country prior to Matco‘s IPO.

Rice value addition is not restricted to glucose. There is a whole range of product development of processed, canned, ready-to-eat food items in the form of vitamin, iron, calcium enriched flakes and puffed rice, among others. Products such as rice noodles have an expected demand of $3.6 billion by 2022 for Europe and Asia with a CAGR of nearly 8 percent.

Then there are non-edible rice products. For example, in India there is rice moisturizing lotion that is made from rice bran oil and aqueous brown rice extract. The production cost of 100 grams of the lotion is INR 15 and is made mostly by small scale entrepreneurs. Similarly there is a rice pain relieving gel that can be made for INR 20 per 25 grams of the product.

Pakistan should think out of the box and diversify from just exporting rice by tons. Leveraging the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s agri-base for value addition is one way to increase export earnings while capitalizing on availability of raw materials.

4 seafood exporters set to spice up your IPO palate this season By Amit Mudgill , ETMarkets.com|Updated: Jul 04, 2018, 07.58 AM IST India‘s shrimp exports to the US have grown at a 32 per cent CAGR over 2010-2017.NEW DELHI: Not one or two, but four companies engaged in the seafood business are looking to list on the stock market via initial public offerings. Penver Products filed draft papers with Sebi last week. Devi Seafoods, Nekkanti Seafoods and Sandhya Marines are three other companies that have already received Sebi‘s approval to float their issues. These four companies will join Apex Frozen, and Avanti Feeds, which have been seeing intense selling pressure in recent times amid concerns over demand slowdown in the all-important US market, and a sharp rise in prices of raw material such as fish meal and soya bean. Avanti Feeds is an industry leader in the feeds business. It derives about 83 per cent of revenues from feeds business, while the rest comes from shrimp processing. But the companies hitting the market have no big exposure to the feeds business. 17

Nekkanti Seafoods is only in the shrimp processing business, with no presence in feeds and marginal presence in farms, said Venkat Nekkanti, MD at Nekkanti Seafoods. ―Indian shrimp exports continue to do well with shipment to the US witnessing a tremendous 30 per cent growth year to date compared with that in the corresponding period last year,‖ Nekkanti said. Sources said Nekkanti is looking to list sometime in September quarter. Devi Seafoods has already begun international roadshows. Headquartered in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, this was second largest exporter of seafood and frozen shrimps in value terms in 2017. About 80.95 per cent of the company‘s revenue for nine months ended December 31 came from processing and export of frozen farmed shrimps, while the rest 19.04 per cent came from the shrimp feed segment, which commenced activity only in March 2016. In its red herring prospectus, Devi Seafoods said in March that it was the only Indian company excluded from anti-dumping duty by the US Department of Commerce. Sandhya too is a shrimp processor, but it intends to utilise Rs 43 crore from IPO proceeds to set up an aqua-feed mill facility. Perver is into farming, feed distribution, processing and overseas distribution. It is looking to utilise IPO proceeds for setting up a new shrimp processing unit, a pre-processing centre and a hatchery facility in Andhra Pradesh. India‘s shrimp exports to the US have grown at a 32 per cent CAGR over 2010-2017 in both volume and value terms, eating into market shares of Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Experts noted that an extended winter affected near-term demand for shrimps in the US market and hurt prices. But things have begun to look up. ―In the beginning of the year, there was slow demand from the US and other parts in January because of climatic conditions. But now consumption has gone up and the demand has picked up, too. However, pricing has not picked up yet,‖ A Indra Kumar of Avanti Feeds told ETNow. For feeds companies, a sharp rise in raw material prices exacerbated the impact, which still remains a concern. http//economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/64841231.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text &utm_campaign=cppst

Rice exports hit the $2bn mark again Mohiuddin AazimUpdated July 02, 2018 18

The image shows a shopkeeper pointing towards mounds of rice in his shop. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, Pakistan exported 3.84m tonnes of both basmati and non-basmati rice for $1.89bn from July 2017 to May 2018.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dawn file photo

THE country recorded around $2 billion worth of rice exports in the fiscal year ending in June after remaining below this level for two years, say senior officials of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP). Rice exports had reached $2bn for the first time in fiscal year 2015. Officials of TDAP claim that the country has achieved the target of 4 million tonnes and export earnings of $2bn. But official statistics of exports for the outgoing fiscal year would be out in the third week of July. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), Pakistan exported 3.84m tonnes of both basmati and non-basmati rice for $1.89bn from July 2017 to May 2018. Historically, rice exports remain high in volumes in the second half of our fiscal year, ie from January to June, due to the fact that the rice marketing year begins from October. This trend remained visible in fiscal year 2017-18, too. Export earnings increased accordingly in dollar terms but they meant more for exporters in terms of local currency due to the 10 per cent depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar. The rupee came down from 110.42 a dollar on Dec 30, 2017 to 121.50 on June 26, 2018 in the interbank market as Pakistan failed to fix its massive current account deficit.

“Unless share of basmati in overall rice export volumes is increased to 20-25pc in coming years, growth in rice exports earnings might remain just moderate despite all aggressive marketing,” fears a top official of TDAP TDAP officials say that the rupee depreciation and the State Bank of Pakistan‘s (SBP) stricter vigil on trade dollar movements also have led to the faster realisation of export proceeds of all items including rice. They offer this argument to support the claim that rice exports hit $2bn a few days before the end of June from $1.89bn at the end of May, showing a build up of $110m in less than a month. After hitting $2bn in FY15, rice exports had fallen to $1.86bn in FY16 and then to $1.61bn in FY17. This was due to insufficient exports of high-priced basmati varieties, low average per tonne export price and an inability of the exporters to sustain market share in some key export markets including China, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. High domestic prices of rice during these two years amid tough competition in the international market and consequent decline in export margins had also dampened the spirit of our exporters, especially those engaged in bulk shipments of unpackaged rice. But in FY18, things improved on almost all fronts. Out of the top 20 export markets, shipments to 14 of them during ten months of FY18 recorded a rising trend. In some cases export earnings more than doubled. Exports to half a dozen of them, however, showed a declining trend, according to SBP figures. A real achievement would be exports rising beyond $2bn at a double digit rate for years to come, officials of TDAP insist. Exporters say that for that to happen, milled rice production must also grow to continue to create enough export surplus. Pakistan‘s milled rice output has been growing but remains below 8m tonnes, a level that the exporters think is crucial given a rising trend in local consumption of rice. Water shortages, increasing domestic demand for export-crucial basmati varieties, and imports of an inferior quality hybrid paddy seeds amid a lack of large-scale initiatives to promote water-efficient rice cultivation are some key impediments to sustaining growth in exports. During the outgoing fiscal year, exporters not only fetched huge orders from a number of countries, including even the rice-exporting Indonesia, but also managed to sell rice at a higher value per tonne taking advantage of stable market prices and focusing on exports of branded rice in consumer packaging. Average per-tonne export price of basmati rice in 11 months of FY18 rose to around $1,040, up from below $950 a year ago, officials say, adding that average export value of non-Basmati varieties also rose to $417 per tonne from $377 per tonne. This is partially attributable to a rise in international prices fuelled by a higher demand, but also to the fact that several Pakistani rice companies, including Matco Foods, invested in the processing and packaging of rice to fetch high export revenue, market watchers add.

Exporters and officials agree that for sustaining growth in export earnings of rice, increasing the share of higher-priced basmati varieties is a must. Currently, this share is just 12pc and has historically ranged between 10 -15pc. ―Unless share of basmati in overall rice export volumes is increased to 20-25pc in coming years, growth in rice exports earnings might remain just moderate despite all aggressive marketing,‖ fears a top official of TDAP. That is where investment in rice research counts. But as local consumption of premium rice has also been rising steadily, the pace of growth in production needs to be accelerated further. Officials say that this will not be possible without greater investment in research and collaboration with international rice research agencies.

No guarantee in lower prices of rice upon market liberalisation: Bernas

Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas) chief executive officer Ismail Mohamed Yusoff. (Photo by SADDAM YUSOFF) By FARAH ADILLA and NURHAYATI ABLLAH - July 4, 2018 @ 3:06pm

SHAH ALAM: No guarantee in price reduction for rice even after the government decided to open up the market, said Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas) chief executive officer Ismail Mohamed Yusoff said. "If we are talking about bringing the prices of rice down, which we think is at reasonable level currently, this would also put risk to the paddy farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; welfare,â&#x20AC;&#x2013; he told reporters at a briefing here today.Ismail reiterated that the company is not monopolising the market but rather acting as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s single gatekeeper for the imports of rice. Under the single gatekeeper mechanism, which has been implemented since 1974, Bernas has continued to ensure that the welfare of farmers is prioritised and the supply and availability of rice to consumers remain at stable and affordable prices, he said."In addition to safeguarding food security, Bernas also maintain the quality of local paddy harvest through grading processes, as well as that of imported rice through quality surveyors.

He said the single gatekeeping mechanism is an important function to ensure that the local paddy and rice industry is well protected.

―The single gatekeeping plays the role of sole importer, focusing on ensuring that the price of imported rice is not lower than local rice, among others.―This guarantees the market for local rice, and protects farmers‘ welfare. ―Besides that, the mechanism also ensured that the single gatekeeper imports rice regardless of international prices - even if this means that import prices are high and unprofitable.―In addition, the single gatekeeper cannot import more rice as imports are to match and meet with local demand and to complement local production,‖ he said. Meanwhile, Ismail reiterated support for the local paddy and rice industry by ensuring farming communities, stakeholders and all consumers' interests are guaranteed over the decades.―For over two decades, Bernas has been responsible for maintaining food security - primarily by safeguarding farmers‘ income through ensuring the full take up of local rice production, and consumer accessibility to rice at stable and affordable prices,‖ he said.Ismail said the company is ready to give full cooperation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries and all industry stakeholders to determine the best operating model which suits the local paddy and rice industry.―We believe that Bernas‘ current system fulfill those requirements, and that the system works,‖ he said.

Pakistan rice exports surpassed $2 billion in FY18: Report Rice exports dwindled in the aftermath of FY15 when they crossed $2 billion, touching $1.86 billion in FY16 and $1.61 billion in FY17 ByMonitoring Report July 2, 2018

KARACHI: Pakistan rice exports surpassed the $2 billion mark for the financial year ended 201718, revealed officials of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP). The country‘s rice exports first breached the $2 billion mark in FY15 and TDAF officials say Pakistan has been successful in achieving its export target of 4 million tons, reported Dawn. An increase of 29.15 per cent in rice exports was registered during 11 months of the current fiscal year as about 3.842 million metric tons of rice worth $1.889 billion was reported to have been exported during this period. According to the data of the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), the export of rice was recorded at 3.889 million metric tons valuing $1.463 billion during the same period last year.

During the period from July-May FY18, 461,472 metric tons of basmati rice worth $478.853 million was exported against the exports of 406,824 metric tons worth $385.746 in the same period last year.

In last 11 months of the financial year 2017-18, basmati rice exports grew by 24.14 per cent as compared the exports of the corresponding period of last year, the data further added.However, official data for rice exports will be available in the third week of July. The export earnings notched up a rise in dollar terms, however, it translated into more for exporters in local currency because of 10 percent depreciation of the local currency against the greenback.The rupee faced three rounds of devaluation in last six months to touch Rs121.50 on June 26th, 2018 from Rs110.42 a dollar on December 30th, 2017. As per TDAP officials, rupee depreciation and the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s stricter watchfulness on trade dollar movements contributed to an accelerated realization of export proceeds of every item including rice. Rice exports dwindled in the aftermath of FY15 when they crossed $2 billion, touching $1.86 billion in FY16 and $1.61 billion in FY17.

Study: Rice glucose tells pests when to grow longer wings TECH & SCI 2018-07-03 10:39 GMT+8

American and Chinese scientists discovered that the quality of the rice plant could determine whether a major pest on rice in Asia grew short or long wings. The discovery, reported on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, gave scientists a potential tool in engineering ways to fight the pest.Scientists at Washington State University (WSU) and China Jiliang University found that the wing size of brown planthopper determined whether the insect could fly long distances to other plants or stick around and feed off nearby rice plants. "It's all about the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the plant," said Laura Lavine, professor in WSU's Department of Entomology. 32

Over the life of a rice plant, the ratio of sugars to amino acids changes. During the early growth stage, rice plants are a great food source for insects.

Young rice plants have relatively low glucose levels while those with higher glucose levels are older and dying. /VCG Photo These young rice plants have relatively low glucose levels and brown planthoppers don't need to search out a new home, so they develop with short wings and, in females, large ovaries."Rice plants with higher glucose levels are older and dying. That increase in glucose causes adolescent brown planthoppers to develop into the long-winged adults," said Lavine. In this case, young brown planthoppers develop with long wings and small ovaries, preparing to migrate away from the old, less nutritious rice plant in search of better food.

"It's a one-time decision. If the decision to stay and reproduce or migrate and fly away is incorrect, the brown planthopper is in trouble," said Lavine. "Grow short wings when long wings are needed to move away and they die. Grow long wings when they could manage with short wings and they're leaving a healthy food source and have to needlessly search for another home." The most surprising part for the researchers was having just one factor, glucose, be the sole determining factor. "It has been difficult to isolate environmental signals that influence insect morphology and behavior," Lavine said. "But it's not for the brown planthopper. The plant's glucose level is the signal on whether they stay or go." "The results of this study will hopefully allow scientists a new way to figure out how to trick the brown planthopper into developing into the wrong form so that they die before they become pests," Lavine said. The brown planthopper is one of the most destructive rice pests in the world and threatens the sustainability of rice production and global food security.(Top image: Two brown planthopper insects on a rice plant with the bottom one long-winged version and the top one short-winged. /Photo by Lin Xinda, Jiliang University) https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d414f794d544e78457a6333566d54/share_p.html

Pakistan's rice export hits 2-bln-USD mark Source: Xinhua 2018-07-03 00:06:31

ISLAMABAD, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has exported rice worth around 2 billion U.S. dollars during the last fiscal year (FY), June 2017-July 2018, local media quoted officials as saying on Monday. Officials from the country's Trade Development Authority said the country's rice export hit the 2-billion-U.S.-dollar mark for the first time since the FY2014-15 as it achieved the target of 4 million tonnes of the crop yield this year. During the last fiscal year, exporters not only fetched huge orders from a number of countries, including even the rice-exporting Indonesia, but also managed to sell rice at

a higher value per tonne, taking advantage of stable market prices and focusing on exports of branded rice in consumer packaging, the report said. Average per-tonne export price of rice in the last fiscal year also rose to around 1,040 U.S. dollars, from below 950 U.S. dollars in fiscal year 2016-17. Rise in international prices of rice coupled with a higher demand of Pakistani rice and local rice exporters investment on processing and packaging of rice also contributed to the achievement. Exporters and officials agreed that for sustaining growth in export earnings of rice, the share of higher-priced "Basmati rice," a good quality of rice cultivated mainly in Pakistan and India and sold at a good price in international market, must be increased. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-07/03/c_137296725.htm

New varieties of rice should reach farmers fast IRRI country representative says 12:00 AM, July 03, 2018 / LAST MODIFIED: 02:18 AM, July 03, 2018 Humnath Bhandari

Sohel Parvez

Bangladesh has developed 87 modern rice varieties in the last five decades, but only a handful of them have become popular among farmers who are not adequately informed about the features of all of the varieties. Because of the gap between research and extension, it takes 15-16 years from the release of a variety to reach its peak of adoption, said Humnath Bhandari, the representative of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for Bangladesh. â&#x20AC;&#x2022;As a result, only four to five varieties have become popular,â&#x20AC;&#x2013; he told The Daily Star in an interview recently. He said there is a problem with the extension and a good extension system should be designed so that new varieties quickly reach farmers. 35

The IRRI found in a recent Rice Monitoring Survey that BRRI Dhan-28, BRRI Dhan-29 and Jira Dhan are the most popular varieties in the Boro season, which stretches from November to April. On the other hand, Swarna, Motadhan, BR-11 and BRRI Dhan-49 are the widely cultivated rice varieties during the Aman season; the crops are harvested in October-November. Two high-yielding varieties -- BRRI Dhan-28 and BRRI Dhan-29 -- were grown on 36 percent and 33 percent area respectively during the Boro season in 2016, according to the survey. Cultivation of Jira Dhan, BRRI Dhan-50 and Miniket has been expanding since 2013. In the Aman season, cultivation area of Swarna rice remained steady at 24 percent between 2013 and 2016. Farmers also increased the acreage of BR-22 and BRRI Dhan-49 during the period and reduced the farming of BR-11 marginally between 2013 and 2016. The survey, which was carried out among 1,500 farmers, aimed at seeing the adoption of developed varieties and areas under their coverage as well as helping policymakers frame better policies. Bhandari said the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation, the state-run seed producer, produces a seed only when there is a huge demand for the variety. Farmers will only try out a new variety when they know about it and reap benefits, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2022;Unless we educate farmers, there will not be an increase in demand,â&#x20AC;&#x2013; he said. He called for a strong research and extension linkage so that new varieties reach farmers through the Department of Agricultural Extension. Bhandari said more interaction between the research centres and the extension department is required.

The agricultural economist said bringing in new varieties fast to farmers' doorstep is important to ensure higher yields because their genetic potential declines as they grow older. Varieties start degenerating within five years to six years after their release, he said. He said BRRI Dhan-28 and BRRI Dhan-29 are more than 20 years old; the yield potential of the two popular varieties is declining and they have become more susceptible to disease. ―Besides, climate is changing. So, it is important to replace the old varieties with the new ones to increase productivity.‖ According to Bhandari, seed needs to be replaced in every three years as yield potential declines for their continuous use.Currently, only 20 percent to 30 percent farmers replace seeds, he said. Bhandari said replacement of old varieties by new ones and regular replacement of seed will increase rice yield by 20-30 percent. The potential for yield increase is 30-40 percent in the Aman rice cultivation season and about 20 percent in the Boro season. This is particularly important given the falling growth rate of rice yield over the years. ―With the changing context of increasing population and declining land, the only option is to boost rice yield,‖ Bhandari. ―If we can educate farmers about the need to replace old seeds with new ones in every three years, productivity will go up. This will also boost the national food security.‖ He suggested providing technology, training and information to farmers quickly.―New varieties are more knowledge-intensive. So, along with technology, we need to provide management practices.‖ The IRRI official said farmers adopt new technology when they see the benefit.He suggested using ICT to circulate information, setting up demonstration sites in every district for new varieties, and growing 10-15 varieties in a certain area of a district.c

Clarity on border control by Editor July 3, 2018 | 1:16 pm

The federal government recently announced that it plans to close Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s border with Benin Republic to tackle the menace of rice smuggling into the country. The minister of Agriculture, who announced the move, said shutting the borders had become necessary to encourage local production and sustain the economy of the country.The federal government and even the president had been claiming that Nigeria was on its way to self-sufficiency in rice production as the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice import was down by 90 percent. The president also boasts that rice import will be completely stopped later this year to encourage local production.Well, rice importation through the ports have been technically banned since 2015 as a discouraging 70 percent tariff more or less effectively dissuaded importation through the ports, while it remained totally banned through the land borders.The reality though, as BusinessDay findings have shown is that, as legal importation to Nigeria drops drastically, neighbouring countries such as Benin, Cameroun, Niger and others have seen their parboiled rice imports increasing. Ironically, these countries mostly consume white rice (another variant of the staple), whereas they import more parboiled rice, which, consideration their population, can last them for a decade. However, they continue to import parboiled rice every year while legal imports continue to decline in Nigeria as 38

smuggling increases exponentially.Data by the Thai Rice Exporters Association shows that Benin Republicâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice imports from Thailand from January to November 2017 stood at 1.64 million metric tonnes, a 32 percent increase from 1.24 million metric tonnes within the same period in 2016, and an increment of 104.45 percent from 805,765 metric tonnes exported to Benin republic in 2015. Cameroun also imported 663, 667 metric tonnes of parboiled rice from Thailand between January and November 2017, a 47.64 percent increase from 449, 513 within the same period in 2016, and 449, 297 metric tonnes in 2015. It is safe to say that most of the imports to these countries end up in the Nigerian market through smuggling.An investigation carried out by BusinessDay some months ago also shows that smuggling is rife along the official border points and despite the fact that rice importation is banned through the borders, traders continue to import the commodity through official border points usually after settling customs officials.What is more, the prices of the smuggled rice are way lower than those of locally produced rice. Consequently, poor Nigerians have continued to patronise the imported rice, which they feel is also of higher quality than locally produced rice.

Now that the reality has dawned on the government, it is planning to shut the border with Benin Republic and also use drones to monitor smuggling so as to prevent or stop them. But we need to ask: does the government also plan to shut the borders with Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon also? Does it plan to expel all the custom officials at the borders that connive with smugglers to bring in the rice?We must stop chasing shadows. We cannot at one instance, be advocating free trade and be putting barriers to free trade all over. Secondly, the government cannot be stifling competition just so to support and protect some inefficient but big cartels of local rice producers. The government cannot be claiming to be interested in addressing poverty and at the same time encouraging or supporting monopolies that always results in higher prices. Imported rice have continued to appeal to Nigerians because they are way cheaper and of more quality than the local ones. Instead of fighting the wars of the local rice cartel, the government would do well to improve their operating environment to be able to compete favourably with imported rice.

Panel topics at the two-day meeting included improved packaging, supply chain optimization, cost-effective research, and innovations in ingredients and processing. USA Rice staffed an information booth focused on the latest innovations in coated fortified rice. Attendees who sampled the fortified rice commented that it both looked and tasted exactly like traditional unfortified rice, and most saw this as a major benefit in the fight against global malnutrition.

Throughout the summit's panel discussions, several speakers noted that fortified rice works well in food aid because there is no difference in flavor or preparation, and as the most consumed commodity in the world, it is palatable across the globe. Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA), Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Nutrition and co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus, gave the summit's closing remarks saying the number of hungry people has risen in the past year, and will continue to rise due to war, violent conflict, natural disasters, and climate change. "Extreme hunger and poverty are the greatest threats to our national security," said McGovern. "And while we have the resources and brainpower to end hunger, political will must be combined with the best research, delivery systems, and the most nutritious foods to bring an end to hunger and malnutrition around the world." Use of rice in food aid continues to rise with 100,000 MT of shipments in 2017, in part because of rice's cost, shelf stable attributes, and mass acceptance around the world. The success and integration of fortified rice will only see usage increase in the coming years. USA Rice Daily

Free trade agreement generates funds for LSU AgCenter rice research Bruce Schultz | 6/29/2018 2:54:48 PM

(06/29/18) CROWLEY, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Funds resulting from the Colombian Free Trade Agreement have paid for long-term improvements at the LSU AgCenter H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station as well as funding a $1 million endowed chair for rice research in the LSU AgCenter, said Jackie Loewer, president of the Louisiana Rice Research Board. Last year, the Colombian funds generated $1.8 million for Louisiana rice research, and the trade agreement allowed U.S. rice to be sold in Colombia duty-free, Loewer said at the annual AgCenter rice field day at the research station on June 20. Loewer presented a check for $1.5 million from farmer checkoff funds used for rice research to Bill Richardson, LSU vice president for agriculture. Don Groth, resident coordinator of the Rice Research Station, said the checkoff funds paid by farmers is crucial to work conducted at the station. Speaking to roughly 350 people attending the field day, the regional director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that the agency has become more user-friendly.

―This is a new day at the EPA,‖ said Anne Idsal, director of EPA Region 6, which includes Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. She said reduced time frames can be achieved by eliminating duplication during the review process. The EPA is focusing on problem-solving, and that requires input. ―We need to provide better customer service,‖ she said. ―You are our customers.‖ The EPA is now geared toward working with states to achieve compliance with regulations, and different areas of the country require different solutions. ―I don‘t presume to know the ins and outs of every parish,‖ Idsal said. The EPA has helped make significant environmental improvements, she said. ―Over time, we have driven our ozone levels down 25 percent across the country.‖ Action by the state legislature in the recent special session has prevented cuts to the LSU AgCenter. ―We‘re far from fully funded,‖ Richardson said.

A ―64 Strong‖ campaign is underway to get an agriculture scholarship for a student in each Louisiana parish, and so far 43 scholarships have been secured. ―We are committed to getting the best students in the state into agriculture,‖ Richardson said. The Louisiana Rice Research Board‘s funding of long-term research projects has paid off, said Rogers Leonard, LSU AgCenter associate vice president. ―We have the best research center for rice in the United States,‖ he said. Land-grant universities such as LSU will be cooperating more in a national effort to release new rice varieties, Leonard said. During the field tour, AgCenter plant pathologist Don Groth said avoiding fungicide resistance requires following four steps. First, don‘t reduce fungicide rates. ―If you cut the rates, it‘s like not taking all your antibiotics,‖ he said.

Second, rotate different fungicides to change the modes of action. Third, application at the best time is important. Fungicides sprayed too late are less effective on a larger disease population, and that increases resistance possibilities, he said. Finally, use fungicides only when they are needed, he said. AgCenter weed scientist Eric Webster said Provisia rice showed injury when it was sprayed with the Provisia herbicide, but that was expected. The new herbicide Gambit has been effective, but it could delay maturity by one to three days if it is applied after weeds have become established, he said. The herbicide Loyant has resulted in crop injury, especially when it is applied on dry ground and a crop is already under stress. He said hybrids are showing more injury than varieties. AgCenter entomologist Blake Wilson said a new seed-treatment product, Fortenza, is showing good results against rice water weevils, but it has not received approval to be used in rice.It is similar to Dermacor, but it is not as effective against stem borers. Another product, Tenchu, may be a good for stink bug control in rice fields near crawfish ponds. Wilson also advised farmers about the channel apple snail, an invasive species that has caused problems for some crawfish producers. Emily Kraus, an entomology graduate student, said she has been studying the use of jasmonic acid as a seed treatment for rice water weevil protection. It is showing effectiveness, but it delays germination and heading. A study of resistant traits in varieties is being conducted to help breeders develop varieties with insect resistance, she said. AgCenter rice breeder Adam Famoso said a new line of Provisia, PVL108, could be released in 2020. A new Clearfield line of a Jasmine-type variety, CLJ01, was released this year, and it has the lowest amount of chalk than any variety. 47

The medium-grain variety CL272 has been tested favorably by Kellogg, and the next step is a 30-day plant run. ―Kellogg will be the big determinant on how well 272 takes off,‖ Famoso said. Xueyan Sha, a former AgCenter rice breeder now at the University of Arkansas, said the medium-grain variety Titan also is being tested by Kellogg. AgCenter hybrid rice breeder Jim Oard said a partner is being sought to produce the AgCenter hybrid LAH169, released this year. Seed for commercial production could be available in two to three years. The hybrid has yield potential equal to the most popular commercial hybrids grown in Louisiana. Also, LAH169 has lower grain chalk than commercial hybrids grown in the state, he said. Hybrid lines with the Clearfield and Provisia traits also are in development. AgCenter rice specialist Dustin Harrell said his work has included new technology such as furrow irrigation rice used in northeast Louisiana. The system requires the disease resistance of a hybrid, and weed control is a challenge. But, he said, the biggest hurdle is nitrogen fertilizer management. Harrell also said his project is using drones carrying sensors to determine midseason nitrogen needs. Jimmy Flanagan, LSU AgCenter agent in St. Mary Parish, said fixed-wing drones can cover more area, but battery time is a limiting factor. And AgCenter agricultural engineer Randy Pricesaid drones are ideal for areas that present challenges for aerial pesticide applications. http://www.lsuagcenter.com/profiles/rbogren/articles/page1530284087901

Rice growers named Farm Family of the Year By Mark Buffalo This article was published July 1, 2018 at 12:00 a.m. PHOTO BY MARK BUFFALO Chris Isbell of Humnoke stands on one of his John Deere tractors at his farm, Zero Grade Farms, near Humnoke. The Isbells are the 2018 Lonoke County Farm Family of the Year and the East Central District‘s top farm family.

HUMNOKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Isbell Family Farms is the 2018 Lonoke County Farm Family of the Year. The farm is headed

by Chris Isbell and his wife of 43 years, Judy. The farm, known as Zero Grade Farm, plants only rice on its 3,000 acres in south Lonoke County.The family was also named the 2018 East Central District Farm Family of the Year and will go into the judging for the State Farm Family of the Year. ―It‘s a big honor, but it‘s not one that we‘ve sought after,‖ Chris Isbell said. ―We just do what we do. We enjoy farming. We try to stay up on all the research and all of the new things that are coming. We try to look into the future and see where things are going and try to be there when the time comes.‖ The Isbell farm includes Chris‘ daughter, Whitney, and her husband, Jeremy; Chris‘ son, Mark, and his wife, Marda Isbell; and a nephew, Shane Isbell. Whitney and Jeremy Jones have two children, Harrison and Alayna. Mark and Marda Isbell have two children, Sam and Nora. Chris Isbell said he was born on the farm and never really left it. ―Somewhere along the line, my dad (Leroy Isbell) told me that I didn‘t have to be a farmer,‖ Chris Isbell said, ―so I thought about other things that I might like to do. I went to college and studied business and didn‘t like it. I realized at about 19 that I wanted to be a farmer.‖ Isbell said he‘d come home on weekends from Conway to work on the farm. He even came home after class during harvest season to work until dark, then head back to college. He was hooked. Isbell said he likes the way things change from year to year in the way his family farms its rice crops. ―If I get to do it the way we do it, I love it,‖ he said. ―If I had to farm without thinking anything is going to change, doing it exactly the same year after year, I wouldn‘t like that. We get to do things a little differently along the way.‖ One aspect of farming that the Isbells utilize that they are proud of is being sustainable. ―What that means is you‘re growing your crop not only in a safe way but in a sustainable way, where you‘re not using as much water or using as much nitrogen,‖ Isbell said. ―That‘s all good for the consumer. And if you‘re not doing those things, you‘re also not spending as much money. It‘s a money-saving situation. It‘s something that you want to do, strive to do, and it‘s the right thing to do.‖ Isbell said his farm tries to use as little ground water as possible. ―We want to use as much surface water as we can possibly use and make use of the rainwater and make use of the water many times over instead of draining it and letting it go,‖ he said. ―We look at all of the ways that it might be possible; then we try something.‖ While some farms have a specific water-recovery system that is funded through the United States Department of Agriculture or the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Zero Grade Farms does not have that.

―But the way our farm is laid out, we have three bayous coming through the farm,‖ Isbell said, adding that he can ―drop‖ off water after it‘s used in one field to another. ―We have a natural recovery system,‖ he said. ―We use reservoirs as well as we can use them. A lot of our fields are cascading fields. It‘s all zero grade. We water one, drop off the water and water the next one. When it finally leaves, the water goes into the drainage system, and we pick it up on another field.‖ With the use of zero-grade practices, the Isbell rice fields have no levees. ―This reduces our water usage over levee rice by 30 percent,‖ Isbell said. ―Increasing our ability to use the alternate wetting-drying on many of our acres reduces our water use by another 20 percent.‖ Isbell said his farm has always done land leveling. ―We didn‘t have to put levees in them anyway,‖ he said, ―but they weren‘t completely flat. Laser-leveling technology came out in 1977. We decided we were going to buy some laser equipment and dirt-moving equipment. That‘s about all I‘ve done all my life is move dirt. The whole farm is zero grade.‖ Isbell said his farm stopped growing soybeans in the 1970s because the soil on the farm is better for growing rice. ―Most of our ground is heavy clay,‖ he said. ―I always tell people when they say, ‗You just grow rice,‘ I tell them, ‗We decided that once we learned how to grow rice, we‘d try something else.‘‖ Because of the clay-type soil, Isbell said, growing soybeans is sketchy. ―If it gets really dry and you have to water the soybeans, a lot of times, you will kill them because you‘ll scald them,‖ he said. ―I don‘t grow soybeans because I‘ve seen that happen. This dirt wants to grow rice, so we just follow the lead.‖ Also, the farm has grown rice for 59 years, consecutively, in one field. A sign is placed on Arkansas 13 just north of Humnoke to commemorate that. ―That‘s an eye-catcher,‖ Isbell said. Isbell said he is big into researching information about farming. That led him to start attending the biannual meetings of the Rice Technical Working Group conferences. ―They all meet and show what they‘ve accomplished in the past two years,‖ Isbell said. ―I started going to those meetings.‖ He met many researchers who had doctorates. He was probably the only farmer at the meetings. ―I was really popular at those meetings. … They wanted to know what I thought about where their research was going and if it was going to be usable when it got to the farmer,‖ he said. ―I really enjoyed that, and I think

they enjoyed having me around. That led me along the path of seeing a little bit into the future, what might be coming down the road and how.‖ Isbell said his son, Mark, and his son-in-law, Jeremy, as well as his nephew Shane are sharp when it comes to the farm. ―They started going to outlook conferences, RTWGs and rice conferences, too,‖ Isbell said. He said Mark and Jeremy will participate in a leadership program from the U.S. Rice Federation during which they will tour other rice-producing states. ―They‘ll see the differences in the way that, say, California grows rice versus how we grow rice in Arkansas,‖ Isbell said. ―They come back and have an understanding of the whole workings of the rice market. They‘ll go to the Chicago Board of Trade, places like that.‖ Isbell said people outside of Arkansas don‘t think of rice being grown in the United States. ―When you think of rice, you think of Asia,‖ he said. ―The marketing is a little more difficult. it‘s up and down a lot more than with corn and soybeans.‖ In an attempt to gain better market share, not only do the Isbells grow the normal long-grain rice; they have 100 acres devoted to rice for sake. ―The farm in recent years has shifted focus to even more unique varieties — rice varieties grown specifically for the making of sake,‖ he said. While he never graduated from college, Isbell said, he wishes he had a degree. ―I feel like I have a degree in growing rice,‖ he said. ―Maybe somebody will give me an honorary degree. There is some self-pride in that. Looking back on my life, I don‘t see where the degree would have helped me. ―This has been a really good life.‖ Staff writer Mark Buffalo can be reached at (501) 399-3676 or mbuffalo@arkansasonline.com. http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2018/jul/01/rice-growers-named-farm-family-year/

New Specialty Food Category Research Shows Opportunities for U.S.-Grown Rice By Deborah Willenborg NEW YORK, NY -- The specialty food segment of the food and beverage industry is growing by leaps and bounds with 65 percent of all consumers purchasing specialty foods to the tune of some $140.3 billion in 2017 - up 11 percent from 2015.Specialty foods and beverages - defined as high quality, unique, 52

craft items usually produced in limited quantities - account for just less than 16 percent of the total food and beverage market, but that is expected to grow to 19 percent by 2022. And rice occupies a sweet spot in the category, both as an ingredient, but also a product itself. According to the newly-released comprehensive report, State of the Specialty Food Industry 2018, produced by the Specialty Food Association, Mintel, and SPINS/IRI, the "rice cakes" category grew in value by more than 64 percent from 2015 to 2017. The only category that outpaced rice cakes was water, growing more than 76 percent. Rice also makes an appearance in additional growth categories - "refrigerated entrees" that may include rice (27 percent growth) and "wellness bars and gels" that often use rice as an ingredient (23 percent growth). And specialty plant-based, shelf-stable milk alternatives, of which rice is a part, enjoys the second highest market share of its category at 88 percent.

Additionally, the continued rise in consumer interest in gluten free foods - a hallmark of the specialty food market - is also fueling rice consumption with rice flour as a common substitute for wheat flour. However, the gluten free flour market is widening, and product manufacturers are utilizing other substitutes like white bean flour, coconut flour, almond flour, and others.The new research, that was distributed at the annual Summer Fancy Foods Show here this weekend, also took a deep dive into consumer habits, trends, and desires, and again rice is well positioned. Great swaths of consumers are looking for foods with a health halo, that are sustainably produced, and with a local connection, that they want to know about."My take-away from the Specialty Foods Association research is that U.S.-grown rice has an opportunity to stake out some significant territory in this large and growing market," said Michael Klein, USA Rice vice president of domestic promotion. "But to solidify our position, we need to actively reach out to the specialty food innovators and explain the value U.S.-grown rice can bring to the table. We are second-to-none with regard to sustainability, we are locally grown, always by small family businesses, GMO-free, nutritious, and as versatile a grain as there can be. What's not to love?"

USA Rice Showcases Premium Quality U.S. Rice at Taipei Food Show By Sarah Moran

TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- USA Rice participated in the 28th Taipei International Food Show last week showcasing California and Southern medium grain to the Taiwanese trader. The four-day event was attended by importers, distributors, food processors, retailers, and international buyers from around the world who stopped by the USA Rice booth to taste test various dishes, and were impressed with both the texture and quality of U.S.-origin rice."As demand for prepared food becomes more mainstream in the hotel, restaurant, and institutional (HRI) sector, USA Rice promotions have included tasting activities like those conducted here to demonstrate the quality and cooking performance of U.S. rice after it is reheated from a frozen state," said Jim Guinn, director of USA Rice Asia Promotion Programs. Taiwan has become a steady market for U.S. rice from both California and the South, and has imported more than 16,000 MT in the first four months of 2018, and 57,700 MT in calendar year 2017, for U.S. market share of 44 percent of total rice imports.

No rice imported through Apapa port in two years, says NCS By Sulaimon Salau 03 July 2018 | 3:09 am

Smuggled rice

No single vessel of imported rice has berthed at the Apapa Port in the last two years, according to the Apapa Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS). This is an indication that most of the foreign parboiled rice found in the local markets was smuggled into the country through land borders.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), had in 2015 listed rice among the 41 items restricted from accessing foreign exchange (forex) from the Nigeria forex market. Thus, importers desirous of importing the commodity will have to source for his own forex without recourse to the official market. The Controller, Apapa Command, Jubrin Musa, who disclosed this during a media chart in Lagos, said since the last two years, the CBN had not issued Form M to any rice importer, adding that the Command has not recorded any revenue on imported rice through the port within the period.

He said: ―Form M issuance is not within the purview of the Nigeria Customs Service. It is a document that is sourced from CBN. If we see any consignment that has form M, we treat. All goods imported that are for commercial activities must have form M whether valid for foreign exchange or not valid. CBN does that and we only treat when we see but throughout last year to date, no importation of rice has passed through Apapa. So we have not collected any duty on rice through the port.‖ Musa said despite the zero duty recorded on rice, the Command has not fared badly in its revenue generation, as it has adopted various measures to up its revenue, noting that since the launch of the Customs NICIS 11 automated platform, the command‘s revenue has been on the increase. He said the Command collected N28billion in April; N33billion in May and N30billion as at June 28th, adding that in line with the Executive Order on 24 hours port operation, and operating round-the-clock even as he dismissed claims by agents that officers do not report early for cargo examination. He however noted that one of the challenges the Command faces is the poor state of the port access road, which has made movement of goods in and out of the area difficult for users. ―We operate round the clock. If anybody wants to take his consignment in the night, he can come but the roads are so terrible, so no importers will want to take his goods through this kind of road in the night for security reasons. So people are careful that is why they are avoiding the night. ―The bad road is affecting movement of goods inside and outside of the ports but the command is contending with the problem. We hope that when the road is finally done, activities will pick up and there will be faster movement of delivery of consignment of the port,‖ he said. https://guardian.ng/business-services/no-rice-imported-through-apapa-port-in-two-years-says-ncs/

China changes rice import tarif s 02.07.2018 | UkrAgroConsult

China's Ministry of Finance has announced a change in tariffs on rice imports from July 1, involving 14 items in total.Rice products imported from certain countries will abide by specific tariff rates in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization, the World Customs Organization and bilateral free trade agreements, the ministry said.Tariffs on unhusked rice, whole rice, broken rice, fine powder of rice, and coarse powder and grain of rice imported from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will be at 50 percent, 50 percent, 5 percent, 40 percent, and 5percent, respectively. The MFN tariff rate for rice, tariff-rate quotas and ordinary tariff rate will not be affected by the new policy. The tariff adjustment is based on changes to domestic rice industry standards, and the purpose is to better adapt to the needs of trade development, the ministry said.Adjustment of the tariff rate conforms to the provisions of multilateral and bilateral agreements, serves to fulfill Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s WTO commitments, and safeguards the normal trade order between China and ASEAN countries, according to the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s statement.

OECD backs production shift, scrapping of rice QR for PHL By Jasper Y. Arcalas July 2, 2018

The Philippines should prioritize investing in high-value crops production rather than focusing its resources on the rice production sector to ensure the country‘s food security in the long run, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In its study, titled ―Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation 2018,‖ the OECD also recommended that the government should scrap the quantitative restriction (QR) on rice to allow the freer entry of foreign imports to augment the country‘s supply. Furthermore, the organization supported the proposal to convert the National Food Authority (NFA) into a ―market-neutral agency managing emergency stocks‖ so as not to distort the prices of rice in the market. ―The Philippines could improve the country‘s food security through policies, such as diversification of production, consumption and income by removing commodity specific incentives; gradual removal of restrictions on rice imports; and transformation of the National Food Authority‘s into a market-neutral agency managing emergency stocks,‖ it said in the study, which was published in end-June. The OECD noted that the country‘s objective of reaching food security through a stable supply of staple at affordable prices is being achieved at the expense of producing more profitable high-value crops. ―The goal of self-sufficiency in rice has driven a range of policy measures supporting rice producers—in contrast to diversification towards higher value commodities typical of other countries in the region—while contributing to the undernourishment of poor households that are net rice consumers,‖ it said. The OECD report said the Philippine farm sector‘s total factor productivity (TFP) growth ―is slower than the world average and slower than in most countries in the region,‖ due to improper fund allocations.

―This is the result of decades of underinvestment [or, in some cases, misdirected investment], policy distortions, uncertainties linked with the implementation of agrarian reform and periodic extreme weather conditions,‖ it said. The Philippines‘s average TFP growth from 2001 to 2014 is just 1.7 percent, which was lower than the 1.71 percent global average TFP growth. The country‘s 10-year average TFP growth was also below the average TFP growth recorded by Asian countries (except Western Asia) and the developing nations at 2.61 percent and 1.93 percent, respectively. TFP determines a farm sector‘s productivity by taking the amount of output against the total production inputs employed (land, labor, capital and material resources), according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). If total output is growing faster than total inputs, we call this an improvement in total factor productivity (factor—input), according to the USDA. The OECD report noted that there are recent policy changes made by the Philippines that should be sustained in order to improve its farm sector‘s TFP. ―In 2017 the Philippines reallocated some funding from variable input subsidies to investment in infrastructure and through the re-orientation of agricultural knowledge systems,‖ it said. ―Continuing such efforts to refocus budgetary support on long-term structural reform is key to promoting total factor productivity growth,‖ it added. https://businessmirror.com.ph/oecd-backs-production-shift-scrapping-of-rice-qr-for-phl/

Customs Generates N91bn In Three Months At Apapa Command By Andrew Utulu July 3, 2018

LAGOS – The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Apapa Area Command, said it generated N91billion between April and June 2018.Comptroller Jubril Musa, Customs Area Controller of the command who disclosed this to DAILY INDEPENDENT yesterday, said N28 billion was generated in April; N33 billion in May and N30 billion as at June 28 to the Federal Government coffers. The Customs boss asserted that no single vessel of traded rice had berthed in Apapa port in the last two years.It would be recalled that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had in 2015 listed rice among the 41 items restricted from accessing foreign exchange.Comptroller Jubril also disclosed that since the last two years, the CBN had not issued Form M to any rice importer.Consequently, the Command, he said had not recorded any revenue on imported rice through the port within the review period. ―Form M issuance is not within the purview of the Nigeria Customs Service.

Can the AgTech revolution prevent a global rice crisis? by MARGARET KOFFMAN on JULY 2, 2018 Pexels

It‘s been described as the 21st century‘s biggest challenge. How do we feed a global population which is predicted to rise to 11 billion by 2100, an increase of nearly 50 million people every year? The problem will place huge pressure on agricultural producers—particularly those who grow rice, a staple crop throughout the developing world. A research article published recently highlights a troubling trend which adds a further complication to this dilemma. Seattle-based health sciences professor Kristie Ebi exposed multiple lines of rice to the dense carbon dioxide concentrations scientists expect to arrive by the end of the century. She and her fellow researchers found that rice grown in these conditions has lower levels of four key B Vitamins, echoing earlier studies which showed a reduction in protein, iron and zinc.

The analysis is particularly troubling because rice fields are notoriously prolific sources of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, such as methane. If climate change is going to stunt the nutritional value of rice crops, producers find themselves locked in a vicious circle. The more they produce, the more problems they‘re creating for their successors. Yet it‘s a circle they have to break, and fast. Rice is the primary calorie source for over 3 billion people worldwide, and this figure will increase as populations rise. Poverty and hunger are already major problems in developing countries; earlier this month, the U.N. warned that 6 million people are coping with severe malnutrition in West Africa‘s Sahel region, and the previous week it was revealed that the number of countries requiring external food relief has risen to 39. Rice producers will have to find a way to jumpstart production while adopting the sustainable practices that slash carbon emissions.

Inefficiency offers hope Thankfully, it seems there is plenty of low-hanging fruit for the growers to grab as they search for improvements. The average farm in Africa is only producing at 20% of its capacity, according to the Berlin Institute for Population and Development. In Asia, the regional development bank has criticised the outdated management and infrastructure which prevents farmers from maximising the value of their crops. This inefficiency is nevertheless good news— untapped potential is far better than no potential at all. To realise that potential, rice growers have been encouraged to make certain fundamental changes. The Asian Development Bank suggests that basic improvements in the region‘s irrigation systems can drive real gains. Meanwhile a number of academics have recommended that growers move away from wet tillage, the process of transplanting seedlings into puddled soil, and towards direct seeding. They believe this will be more efficient and will cut greenhouse gas emissions. 62

But the real key to the improvement of rice production—the fundamental factor in ensuring sustainable progress—is provided by technology, data and precision agriculture. The agricultural technology, or AgTech, sector is already worth around $3 trillion, and its innovations have clear potential for rice growers. New frontiers One of the most promising areas of technology is big data, the term used to denote huge volumes of information which can only be processed using modern digital methods. The Platform for Big Data in Agriculture, launched in 2017 by CGIAR (previously the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research), connects growers with cutting-edge analysis about agricultural conditions. Its key focus is spreading innovation, helping farmers in the developing world tackle problems such as climate change. The Climate Corporation, a subsidiary of agricultural giant Monsanto, also provides farmers with incredibly detailed data—50 terabytes a day of weather information, years‘ worth of soil and precipitation records for every one of the 29 million farm fields in America, tens of thousands of simulated weather scenarios –which can radically increase farmers‘ yields. New technology is providing huge efficiency gains out in the fields, as well. Drones are being used to spray crops, monitor their condition and irrigate the fields. Last year, a rice grower in China‘s Hubei province sprayed more than 1,600 acres of land with insecticides and fertilizers in just six months, using a single remote-controlled device. Elsewhere, several companies are developing sensor devices to monitor soil nutrients and water levels; the devices are connected wirelessly to irrigation machinery via the Internet of Things (IoT). One company has even developed a ‗digital rice analyser‘ which takes pictures of rice and uploads them to the cloud, where the images are analysed for inefficiencies. Researchers suggest that if the value of these technologies is fully harnessed, they could trigger the sort of improvement in farm output not seen since the dawn of mechanisation. Encouragingly, huge corporations—even some from outside the agricultural industry—are now throwing their vast resources into the AgTech sector. Alibaba, China‘s answer to Amazon, has launched the ‗ET Agricultural Brain,‘ an AI project that uses visual recognition and real-time environmental monitoring to record the growth conditions of rice and other crops. Other corporate giants have flooded the sector with cash. John Deere, for example, has ploughed over $300 million into Blue River Technology, a Californian startup whose machine learning innovations enable tractors to spot weeds and blitz them with pesticides at a level of precision which could reduce the amount of pesticide sprayed by 90 percent. Such investment is, in turn, being poured back into R&D. Indigo Agriculture, another company that applies machine learning to raise crop yields, has raised over $400 million from investors in four years. Just last week, the company announced the creation of the world‘s largest agriculture laboratory to drive research into new technologies. But if the planet is to feed its rapidly growing population, this trickle of innovation must become a flood. For centuries, the world‘s rice growers have stuck to tried and tested practices as the world transformed around them. Now, this ancient industry must finally face the future. https://descrier.co.uk/science/can-the-agtech-revolution-prevent-a-global-rice-crisis/ 63

Rice sugar tell pests when to grow longer wings, migrate: study Source: Xinhua| 2018-07-03 02:21:58|Editor: Li Xia

WASHINGTON, July 2 (Xinhua) -- American and Chinese scientists discovered that the quality of the rice plant could determine whether a major pest on rice in Asia grew short wings or long wings. The discovery, reported on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, gave scientists a potential tool in engineering ways to fight the pest. Scientists at Washington State University (WSU) and China Jiliang University found that the wing size of brown planthopper determined whether the insect could fly long distances to other plants or stick around and feed off nearby rice plants. "It's all about the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the plant," said Laura Lavine, professor in WSU's Department of Entomology. Over the life of a rice plant, the ratio of sugars to amino acids changes. During the early growth stage, rice plants are a great food source for insects. These young rice plants have relatively low glucose levels and brown planthoppers don't need to search out a new home, so they develop with short wings and, in females, large ovaries. "Rice plants with higher glucose levels are older and dying. That increase in glucose causes adolescent brown planthoppers to develop into the long-winged adults," said Lavine. In this case, young brown planthoppers develop with long wings and small ovaries, preparing to migrate away from the old, less nutritious rice plant in search of better food. "It's a one-time decision. If the decision to stay and reproduce or migrate and fly away is incorrect, the brown planthopper is in trouble," said Lavine. "Grow short wings when long wings are needed to move away and they die. Grow long wings when they 64

could manage with short wings and they're leaving a healthy food source and have to needlessly search for another home." The most surprising part for the researchers was having just one factor, glucose, be the sole determining factor. "It has been difficult to isolate environmental signals that influence insect morphology and behavior," Lavine said. "But it's not for the brown planthopper. The plant's glucose level is the signal on whether they stay or go." "The results of this study will hopefully allow scientists a new way to figure out how to trick the brown planthopper into developing into the wrong form so that they die before they become pests," Lavine said. The brown planthopper is one of the most destructive rice pests in the world and threatens the sustainability of rice production and global food security. KEY WORDS

New hybrid rice varieties „to triple‟ farmers‟ yields Jul. 03, 2018, 12:00 am By VICTOR AMADALA @itsamadala Workers at a rice plantation in Mwea, Kirinyaga county, on January 30 / MONICAH MWANGI

Kenya‘s rice production is likely to go up following the release of three new fast-maturing varieties with greater potential. The hybrid varieties produce an average of 7.5 tonnes per hectare in 100 days compared to local breeds that produce two tonnes per hectare in 150 days.This, researchers say, will bridge the country‘s annual deficit of 250,000 tonnes. drought Hybrid Rice project manager Kayode Sanni said the rice is developed from seeds of a cross between two genetically dissimilar parents. The varieties were developed by Kenyan researchers under the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They have capability to evade drought and farmers can increase the planting cycle, especially with irrigation.

The Kenya National Varietal Release Committee cleared the breeds for commercial production after successful trials conducted by Hybrids East Africa under the supervision of the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service in May last year. Demand outstrips supply Trials were done at Hola and Malindi in the coastal region, Mwea in Central Kenya and in Siaya and Kisumu counties. Rice demand in Kenya and Africa at large exceeds production, forcing the continent to rely on imports. FAO estimates Africa imports at least 13 million tonnes of rice every year, costing over $5 billion (Sh500 billion). Kenyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s annual demand of milled rice is 400,000 tonnes against a production of 150,000 tonnes, this according to latest data by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Last Thursday, the hybrid rice project received a boost when Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donated $4 million (Sh400 million) to AATF for the second phase of activities Phase two The money will be used to boost production and supply of rice in Kenya and Tanzania for the benefit of smallholder farmers. The first phase of the project kicked off in 2012 with $5million (Sh500 million) funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and was geared towards proof of concept and development of the rice hybrids and parental varieties. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2018/07/03/new-hybrid-rice-varieties-to-triple-farmers-yields_c1780849

Rice-laden trucks: Indian drivers block road for unloading rice at Hili port Our Correspondent, Dinajpur

Drivers and their assistants of 183 Indian trucks blocked a road in Hili land port for an hour yesterday noon, demanding offloading of 7,228 tonnes of rice they had brought in almost a month ago. This rice imported from India on June 5 and 6 through the port in Hakimpur upazila could not be offloaded due to duty complexities, said rice importers. The blockade disrupted trade yesterday. Police said the drivers and helpers of the trucks took position in front of customs office in the port area around 1:00pm and blocked the road.

Kartik Chandra, general secretary of Hili (Indian) Transport Workers Union, alleged that the 183 trucks got stranded in Hili as the rice was yet to be unloaded. Usually, drivers and helpers of trucks return home within three days but they have been stuck there for almost a month. He demanded immediate offloading of the rice. Sohrab Hossain, public relations officer of Hili, declined to comment. According to customs authorities in Hili, around 12,228 tonnes of rice was imported from India under letters of credit (LC) on June 5 and 6, when the duty on the imports was two percent. Of the rice, 5,000 tonnes got customs clearance. But the customs authorities did not give clearance to the remaining rice soon after budget of fiscal year 2018-19 was announced on June 7, raising the duty to 28 percent. Rezaul Islam, a rice importer, said importers had to pay duty under fresh rate. â&#x20AC;&#x2022;That rice was imported before the announcement of budget of fiscal year 2018-19. So, why should we have to pay the new duty?â&#x20AC;&#x2013; Harun Ur Rashid, president of Importers and Exporters Group of Hili, said they appealed to customs and the National Board of Revenue, but the NBR and custom authorities were yet to decide on the matter. Rice import through the port has remained suspended since June 9, he said. He said the huge amount of rice left under the open sky inside the port premises could be damaged.

Farmers reap millions from farming upland rice By Nathan Ochunge and Jackline Inyanji | Tue, July 3rd 2018 at 00:00, Updated July 3rd 2018 at 00:10

Mr Ronald Oduor from Koyonzo Sub County at his rice farm. [Benjamin Sakwa/Standard] Ronald Oduor faithfully tilled his sugarcane plantation for many years, and the crop ensured he could put bread on the table. But the tables turned and Mr Oduor cleared his farm in Koyonzo sub-county to plant another crop that was proving to be a favourite with a few farmers; rice. ―I used to plant cane but because of delayed and poor payments, I abandoned it. Rice is easy to harvest; it has a ready market and returns are good because one sack goes for more than Sh12, 000,‖ he said. While Oduor was one of the early adopters back in 2000, more farmers in Kakamega have now embraced two upland rice varieties that are early maturing and high yielding – the New Rice for Africa and Pishori Basmati. The rice, which takes between three to five months to mature, is said to produce at least 20 bags from an acre of land. Oduor, who plants on a single acre, makes at least Sh240, 000 each season. School fees Know if news is factual and true. Text 'NEWS' to 22840 and always receive verified news updates. ―I no longer have to worry about my children staying out of school for lack of fees. I urge other farmers to embrace it since it will help us alleviate poverty and promote food security. You can harvest the rice twice a year since it takes less than five months to mature,‖ he said. However, there are still impediments to better harvesting, though none is as glaring as the lack of a processing plant. Oduor says this is where county and national governments are expected to step in and provide a helping hand. ―We are forced to travel miles to Bujwang‘a to process the rice for sale. Transporting one sack is Sh600; if you have 20 sacks, that is Sh12, 000. The Government should construct a factory near here to help us save on the cost of transport,‖ he said. Another farmer, Iddi Munyendo, says in 1996 he started growing a Pishori Basmati variety that originated in the US. Germination, Munyendo says, takes 14 days and it is ready for harvesting after four months. ―The venture is good since it pays school fees for my children and provides food for my family. It also helped build me a modern house,‖ he said, adding that during the last season, he harvested 27 bags of rice. ―I sell 2kg of rice for between Sh200 to Sh300, which enables me to get good profit. But the challenge is processing, since we are forced to travel to Siaya County, which is costly. ―If you leave on a bicycle at 5am, you will arrive in Bujwang‘a at around 10am. This is time-consuming and costly. Birds also destroy the crop. We urge the Government to help us have a machine that can process the produce,‖ he said. Stolen cables Edward Munyendo, the secretary of the Matungu Rural Poverty Alleviation group, said a project to set up a factory flopped after thieves stole electricity cables connecting the machinery to a transformer. Mr Munyendo said although the rice was quickly becoming the region‘s cash crop because it matured faster and paid better than sugarcane, many of the farmers who showed interest in planting the grain did not have access to proper information on its planting and how to address the inevitable production challenges. ―With modern farming technologies, and if the farmers get support from the Government, I am sure the rice venture will help address food shortage in the country. We had recruited 200 74

farmers and even written a proposal to get 22 million seedlings from the county before the electricity issue arose,â&#x20AC;&#x2013; said Munyendo. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001286469/farmers-reap-millions-from-farming-upland-rice

ANALYSIS ON UPLAND RICE PRODUCTION Julio Yap Jr. Wednesday, July 4, 2018

FARMERS in the upland areas of the country will now have the possibility of raising their harvest through the bacteria which was apparently found to boost plant growth and eventually, the yield.Researchers at the Philippine Rice Research Institute or PhilRice uncovered that the actinomycete (Streptomyces mutabilis), a plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), showed promising results.

Based on a study which was conducted by the researchers led by scientist Jayvee A. Cruz, actinomycete, an aerobic bacterium suitable under upland conditions, can increase root dry weight, number of tillers, and root depth of upland rice. The researchers even added that it can also promote growth under moisture stress. While the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s average production of upland rice remains low, which is about two tons per hectare, upland rice farmers can increase their yield by at least 0.5 ton per hectare by applying half fertilizer treatment combined with the PGBD treatment, the researchers said. Following their recommendation, upland farmers can save on the cost of buying chemical fertilizers to treat the soil, at the same time, help address environmental concerns and the rising cost of farms inputs like fertilizers. Cruz, however, emphasized that the treatment is not a 100 percent substitute for synthetic fertilizers. At present, it was learned that there is no commercially available actinomycete inoculant in the Philippines. However, another type of microbial inoculant for upland rice varieties will soon be produced resulting from this study. Further field assessment is therefore needed to provide more information on the performance of the actinomycete inoculant under limited moisture conditions in upland rice production. 79

In another development about rice production, PhilRice has also launched the new number of its Text Center to make rice information more accessible to the farmers and other stakeholders in the country. Farmers can now reach the PhilRice Text Center (PTC) through 0917-111-7423. The Text Center agents will be available to answer different queries about rice seeds and modern farming practices from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Under a digital platform, the PTC provides daily consultation services to rice farmers around the country through call and SMS. Farm advisories, rice technology updates, market information, and other farm insights are also regularly sent to the registered farmer-clients. Originally launched as Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Text Center by the Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture in 2004 with about 28 users, the PTC now has more than 35,000 registered clients. Currently, it receives an average of at least 200 SMS daily. Top queries are usually related to seed quality and varietal information, pest management, seed availability, and nutrient management.Info-in demand enables farmers to instantly receive information by sending keywords. For varieties, farmers can type the keyword (name of the variety) to get information on yield, maturity period, reaction to pests, and eating quality.

For instance, just type Rc160 and send to 0917-111-7423. Extension workers, students, researchers, and other rice stakeholders may also avail of the service. https://www.panaynews.net/analysis-on-upland-rice-production/

Rice prices still high By: Karl R. Ocampo - @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:03 AM July 03, 2018

Rice prices have remained high despite the ongoing distribution of more affordable imported rice by the National Food Authority (NFA).As of the third week of June, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that the average retail price of regularmilled and well-milled rice reached P40.57 and P44.21 a kilogram, respectively. Compared to year ago levels, prices have gone up by 7.67 percent and 5.77 percent, respectively. This was the 24th straight week that rice prices had increased, according to the PSA. In a statement issued last week, the grains agency said it was ―working double time to immediately deliver its P27 and P32/kg good quality rice in markets across the country.‖

The NFA said in its latest update that 172,00 metric tons (MT) of rice or 69 percent of the 250,000 MT of rice imported from Vietnam and Thailand had arrived in the country. Of the total volume, 75 percent had already been delivered or are being loaded at the ports. The delivery of the balance has been delayed, however, by weather disturbances and port congestion. NFA spokesperson Rex Estoperez earlier assured consumers that the presence of NFA rice in the market would bring down prices by P1 to P2 a kilo. Aside from the tight rice supply, elevated oil prices have also contributed to the increase in rice prices. Government data show that the buying price for palay has risen to P21.36 a kg from P19.28 a kg a year ago. http://business.inquirer.net/253413/rice-prices-still-high#ixzz5KHMB0s8P

Vietnamese rice exports to Malaysia soar over last five months VNA TUESDAY, JULY 03, 2018 - 16:23:00

Rice inventory for export of the Dong Thap food company (Photo: VNA) Kuala Lumpur (VNA) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vietnam shipped close to 122.4 million USD worth of rice products to Malaysia in the first five months of 2018, surging 177 percent from the same period last year.

The sharp growth pushed rice to fourth place among the top five Vietnamese exports to Malaysia between January and May. These exports, whose revenue all exceeded 100 million USD, included phones and their component parts; computers, electronic devices and components; steel and iron products; and glass products. Talking to the Vietnam News Agency on the morning of July 3, Vietnamese Trade Counsellor to Malaysia Pham Quoc Anh said the increase of Vietnamese rice exports is a result of the decrease in rice supply from other countries to Malaysia. Vietnamese firms took the opportunity to boost shipments of aromatic and glutinous rice, in which Vietnam has a price advantage, he added.He said improved rice trade promotion activities via exhibitions, trade fairs, and business networking events supported by commercial agencies were also a growth drive. He highlighted the trademark building of Vietnamese rice in the Malaysian market, which is currently dominated by brands from domestic enterprises, as well as those from Thailand and Japan.Quoc Anh said the Vietnamese Trade Office in Malaysia has supported the Hanoi Trade Corporation (Hapro) in its partnership with the Malaysian-based ZNTEC company to build and promote Hapro-branded rice products for exclusive distribution in Sabab and Sarawak states. The assistance also reached Loc Troi Group, which is making efforts to build trademark for its jasmine rice, he noted.The trade counsellor said he believes Vietnamese rice will secure a strong foothold with well recognised brands in Malaysia. -VNA https://en.vietnamplus.vn/vietnamese-rice-exports-to-malaysia-soar-over-last-five-months/133928.vnp

Monsoon trough travels further North VINSON KURIANT+ T-

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JULY 3 The monsoon trough over North India has continued to move further north of its usual position, with rains becoming weaker over large parts of Central India. The India Met Department (IMD) said this morning the monsoon trough may shift slightly further northwards today and remain there during the next two to three days. EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN Presence of the trough in the area may bring extremely heavy falls at isolated places along the foothills of Uttarakhand, East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Bengal, Sikkim and Meghalaya until tomorrow. The northern parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh may also witness rains with isolated heavy to very

heavy falls during this period. The trough can be brought down to its usual position by a suitably endowed cyclonic circulation/ low-pressure area positioned in the Bay of Bengal. It remains to be seen whether the current circulation over the West-Central Bay would mould itself in this manner and host one end (southern) of the trough in the Bay and pull it back to its usual alignment. The trough as of today linked Ludhiana, Najibabad, Bahraich, Gorakhpur, Sheohar, Supaul, Golpara, Dibrugarh and Arunachal Pradesh, having strayed way off the normal. This cuts across the states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Assam. In the normal position, it should connect Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, before dipping into the Bay. The US Climate Prediction Centre has suggested that North Coastal Andhra Pradesh or adjoining South Odisha may continue to witness some activity into the next week. RAINS FOR EAST The northward shift of the trough in this manner, however, has been known to open up the East Coast - including Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu - for enhanced rain activity. The presence of a circulation in what is considered a vantage point over the West-Central Bay off the South Odisha and North Andhra Pradesh coasts is, therefore, attracting some interest. The Met subdivisions of coastal Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Vidarbha (East Maharashtra) are expected to immediately benefit over the next few days, the IMD update said. During the latter part of the week, the ongoing rainfall over the northern parts of the West Coast are forecast to spill over into the southern parts and the adjoining interior as well. In fact, what has apparently prevented the current weather pattern from being classified as a typical 'break monsoon' phenomenon is the presence of rain over the West Coast. During a 'break monsoon,' the rain shuts out completely over the region, and is confined to the foothills of the Himalayas, parts of the East Coast and the South Peninsula. Even this is a normal monsoon feature that reveals itself in August. IMD has already said July could yield normal rainfall (101 per cent of the long-period average). https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/monsoon-trough-travels-further-north/article24318934.ece

Drought demand chews into limited rice straw supplies by Fiona Myers, 03 July 2018 A BY-PRODUCT of southern Australia‘s rice industry has found a ready market this year. Rice straw has emerged as a feed source for desperate livestock producers chasing roughage, but it seems the limited supplies of what is considered a poor-quality feed option have already run out. Rice straw has provided a source of roughage in past droughts but a change in farming practices has meant it is now rarely made.Southern rice farmers used to bale rice straw as a means of potentially making extra income and to clear stubble from their paddocks after harvest.But the push to double crop – and plant a wheat crop straight after the rice crop to utilise farm moisture – means many rice farmers now don‘t want the time delay between baling straw and planting their cereals.Swan Hill-based hay contractor Coby Pearce has been one of those involved in rice straw production this year. He said normally he did not bale rice straw at all but was prompted into action after his supplies of barley straw ran out. ―It all started out when we sold out of barley straw and we couldn‘t find any more to bale,‖ Mr Pearce said.―I suggested to someone that they might like to try rice straw and the response was, ―get me 400 tonnes‖.‖ He quality tested the straw he was making, and said he was surprised that it had higher quality than he had expected.―If we could bale the straw soon after the rice crop had been harvested, the protein levels were up to 6.7 per cent but the later it got, the more the protein slipped, back to 4.8 per cent,‖ Mr Pearce said.―All it is, is a cheap filler for cattle and producers know that.‖Mr Pearce said he did not start baling rice straw until late in the season, but even so still baled 3000 large square bales (8x4x3). The bales weighed about 600 kilograms and yielded about seven to 10 bales a hectare, or four to six tonnes a hectare. Most of the straw was baled around the Moulamein, NSW, area and was done by Mr Pearce on a share basis with the farmers.Prices started at $75 a tonne, rose to $90/t with the final supplies making $150/t. ―When we got to the last of the rice straw, we had a bidding war with people trying to outbid each other.‖ So keen were buyers that Mr Pearce said he tried to do some late baling recently and while that quality was less with poor colour, it had sold earlier this week. ―We won‘t do any more but we could have sold 8000 bales I think,‖ he said. ―In a drought, I think people will feed

anything.―Locals said I was mad to make this straw and it is very hard on gear as it is like wire rope to handle. ―We‘ve worn out a baler with it but the straw has sold.‖ Limited opportunities Coleambally, NSW, farmer Trent Gardiner bales rice straw each year in small square bales for the construction industry but said he could have sold what he did make ―10 times over‖.―Not many people make it now as farmers are wanting to get that next wheat crop in to paddocks used to grow rice so they can make use of the water,‖ Mr Gardiner said. There was also the risk of making rice straw and getting weather damage, as the curing process took eight to 10 days.And despite burgeoning demand, there was no real opportunity for more rice straw to be baled. ―To be able to feed it to cattle, you have to bale it pretty much straight after harvest,‖ Mr Gardiner said.―The cows do love it, and I know if I‘ve made it in the past and delivered it to dairy farmers, the cows will be queueing up to get it.‖ Despite the demand and returns for rice straw this year, Mr Gardiner said he could not imagine many growers would attempt to make some next season. ―In 2002/2003, there was plenty of it made but the chances of it being needed two years in a row are not high,‖ he said. Meanwhile Grain Central understands there has been no interest in buying rice hulls, a poor quality by-product of rice production which has low protein levels of about 4pc.

Foodgrains output during the current kharif season could be 137.73 million tonnes (mt), a tad lower than the 138.73 mt achieved in the previous kharif season, according to the first advanced estimate released by post-harvest management services company National Collateral Management Services Ltd (NCML) on Monday.

The production of rice, the major kharif crop, is estimated to rise slightly to 96.8 mt from the record level 96.39 mt of the previous Kharif season.

Even as the rain is expected to pick up in July, the monsoon this year may be fragmented, giving non-continuous bouts of showers across different pockets, which may affect yields and production, the release said.

Among oilseeds, soyabean is set to record a significant increase in acreage due to better price realisation by farmers in the previous season. Its production is estimated at a record 13.3 mt, 21.6 per cent higher than last year‘s 10.93 mt.The prices of maize ruled low throughout the year. As a result, some farmers are likely to shift to other crops including rice. According to NCML projections, the 2018-19 Kharif maize production is projected to fall to 19 mt against a record 19.81 mt last year. Bajra output, on the other hand, could go up slightly to 9.31 mt, against 9.08 mt last year. Sugarcane production, however, may surpass last year‘s 355 mt to touch 360 mt, which would add challenges to the ongoing sugar glut. The prices of maize ruled low throughout the year.

Iraq's treasured amber rice crop devastated by drought July 3, 2018 by Haidar Indhar

An Iraqi man stands on a dry field in an area affected by drought in the Mishkhab region, central Iraq, some 25 kilometres from Najaf, on July 2, 2018

Standing on his farm in southern Iraq, Amjad al-Kazaali gazed sorrowfully over fields where rice has been sown for centuriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but which now lie bare for lack of water. For the first time, this season Kazaali has not planted the treasured amber rice local to Diwaniyah province. Facing an unusually harsh drought, the agriculture ministry last month suspended the cultivation of rice, corn and other cereals, which need large quantities of water. The decision has slashed the income of amber rice farmers, who usually earn between 300,000 and 500,000 dinars ($240 to $400) a year per dunum (quarter-hectare, 0.6 acres). With a black-and-white chequered keffiyeh scarf wrapped around his head, 46-year-old Kazaali was distraught at the absence of green shoots on his 50 hectares. "Our eyes can't get used to the yellowish colour of the earth, it's too hard to look at my fields without my amber (rice)," he said, on his farm in the village of Abu Teben, in the west of Diwaniyah province. The long-grained variety takes its name from its aroma, which is similar to that of amber resin. More than 70 percent of the amber crop is grown in Diwaniyah and neighbouring Najaf province, and in total, the variety makes up over a third of the 100,000 tons of rice grown in Iraq every year. 97

Fondly dubbed "royal rice" by Iraqis, many Shiite pilgrims travelling between the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf stop to stock up on the popular grain. Exports are banned, although some of the rice is smuggled through the Iraqi city of Basra to the Gulf. Scent of the Euphrates Of the thousands of rice producers in Diwaniyah province, just 267 are dedicated to the centuries-long tradition of growing the amber variety. "As my parents and my grandparents have done for hundreds of years, since the Ottoman Empire, I've been used to touching the grains of amber with my feet during planting and taking them in my hands during the harvest," said Kazaali. "It's the water of the Euphrates River which gives it the fresh scent that we can smell for kilometres." But Iraq has seen its water resources dwindle in recent yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a problem soon to be compounded by the inauguration of Turkey's controversial Ilisu dam on the Tigris River. Planting was due to take place between May 15 and July 1, with the harvest set for late October.

Iraq's agriculture ministry had planned for 350,000 hectares of crops this season, including staples such as rice and corn, spokesman Hamid al-Naef said. 98

But after the ministry for water resources warned it would not be possible to irrigate these key crops, the forecast was slashed to 150,000 hectares, mainly set aside for less water-intensive vegetables and palms.

"The ministry has therefore asked farmers not to cultivate rice, yellow or white corn, cotton, sesame, sunflower," Naef said. In Diwaniyah, the agriculture ministry's provincial director, Safaa al-Janabi, said the changes represent a total loss of 50 billion dinars ($42 million, 36 million euros). Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has said the government will compensate farmers, particularly rice producers. But Kazaali feared that promise would not be kept. "We could be forced to leave agriculture and the region," he said. "Some farmers have tried to carry on regardless and plant their rice anyway, but the ministry for water resources has removed their pumps, which has destroyed their crop."

"The results of this study will hopefully allow scientists a new way to figure out how to trick the brown planthopper into developing into the wrong form so that they die before they become pests," Lavine said. The brown planthopper is one of the most destructive rice pests in the world and threatens the sustainability of rice production and global food security. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-07/03/c_137296846.htm

Rice export surges The Saigon Times Daily

Monday, Jul 2, 2018,14:40 (GMT+7) Farmers are seen working on a rice field in the Mekong Delta region – PHOTO: TRUNG CHANH

HCMC – June‟s rice exports amounted to 604,000 tons, worth US$317 million, taking the respective figures in the January-June period to 3.56 101

million tons and US$1.81 billion, up 25% in volume and 42% in value yearon-year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. According to the ministry, farm produce exports are soaring. Vietnam‘s price for 5% broken rice for export has reached US$450 per ton, whereas the price of the same type of rice from India is US$410 per ton and from Thailand is US$435 per ton. According to the Vietnam Food Association and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, as Sai Gon Giai Phong reported, the export price of 5% broken rice from Vietnam rose to US$458-462 per ton in mid-May, the highest in four years. The falling prices of India and Thailand are attributed to the declining import demands of these exporters‘ traditional markets, the agriculture ministry said. The rice price in Thailand has dropped to a bottom low this year due to reduced demand and a potentially abundant supply. As for India, the rice price is low as a result of weak consumption in Africa and Bangladesh. According to experts, Vietnam‘s rice export price is improving thanks to the rising exports of high-grade and jasmine rice, accounting for over 80% of total rice exports. As of last May, China was still the largest importer of Vietnam‘s rice, with a 30% share, followed by Indonesia with 18.7%. Although exports to the Chinese market dropped by 21.3% against the same period a year earlier, exports to other markets picked up, such as Indonesia with 596,000 tons, Iraq with 150,000 tons, Malaysia with 273,000 tons, and the United States with 26,200 tons. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Ha Cong Tuan noted that this year‘s rice export target is 6.5 million tons, with high-quality rice. According to the Department of Farm Produce Processing and Market Development, the growth of major farm produce in the year‘s first half was considerable. The value of the U.S. dollar is on the rise, offering a good chance for Vietnamese enterprises to increase exports. Nonetheless, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Cuong voiced his concern over the return of trade protectionism in major markets such as the United States, the European Union and China. In addition, the high export value in last year‘s final months posed challenges to efforts to promote farm produce exports toward the year-end. According to the agriculture ministry, it is not easy to get the rice price as high as it was early this year because of the global increase in rice production. This concern was shared by Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh at a recent online meeting on ways to boost exports among enterprises and business associations. Trade protectionism is on its way back, as reflected by the United States introducing trade self-defense measures. To cope with trade protection efforts, a sensible solution could be assisting enterprises to produce quality products for export, increasing the added value of products, connecting supply with demand and making products for chain retailers. In addition, there need to be measures to maintain export markets, enhance the provision of market information and strengthen 102

administrative procedures. Legal corridors for export activities should also be improved. Vu Ba Phu, head of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency, said that in a bid to support enterprises in overcoming difficulties with this level of protection, the industry-trade ministry needs to frequently update its market information and deal with problems as they arise, as well as provide early warnings to help prevent enterprises from getting involved in trade defense lawsuits. There needs to be coordination between the agriculture ministry and the industry-trade ministry in working with the United States on disputes and to protect the interests of Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s seafood products, which face technical barriers and trade defense measures in the U.S. market. Besides rice, other agricultural products with good export results in the January-June period are fruits and vegetables, with an estimated US$2 billion (up 20%); cashew, US$1.71 billion (up 16.4%); and seafood, US$3.94 billion (up 10.5%), according to the agriculture ministry. Markets posting strong growth in the six-month period are Indonesia, China, Germany, Malaysia, the United States and India. According to the Department of Crop Production, there are three rice harvests toward the yearend. If there are no abnormal weather conditions, rice production may reach 23.3 million tons. The yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice yields will then be brought to 43.9 million tons, up at least 1.2 million tons against last year. http://english.thesaigontimes.vn/61001/rice-export-surges.html

Optimistic Rice Export Growth Forecast for 2018 in Vietnam Hanoi, Jul 2 (Prensa Latina) Vietnam consolidated its position as the third largest rice exporter in the world by exporting 3.560 000 tons in the first half of the year, and for this reason it entered 1.8 billion dollars.

103

Sources from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development indicated today that the growth was 25 percent in volume and 42 percent in value. The largest importers of Vietnamese grain were China and Indonesia, which accounted for around 30 and 19 per cent of total purchases. Producers and national traders are hopeful that the second half of the year will be as favorable as the first half, given the boost of a growing demand from the Philippines and African countries. It is also confident that China will keep the level of its orders. The price of Vietnamese rice on the world market reached $ 460 per ton in mid-May, the highest level in the last four years. The aforementioned portfolio attributed this increase to the supply of a high quality product, which represented more than 80 percent of total exports. According to estimates, the Indochinese nation will sell around 6. 500 000 tons this year. Before Vietnam, the two main world's rice exporters are India and Thailand. sgl/abo/mem/asg http://www.plenglish.com/index.php?o=rn&id=30444&SEO=optimistic-rice-export-growth-forecast-for2018-in-vietnam

SunRice planning ahead for dry season challenge to sowing areas Andrew Marshall@BurrenAndrew 2 Jul 2018, 7:30 a.m.

SunRice bosses are not panicking, yet, but as droughty conditions linger across much of eastern Australia they are bracing for a possible scramble for irrigation water in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice farming heartland.With southern NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s major irrigation storages only about half full, a dry winter and spring could have concerning consequences for the area planted to rice later this year.

104

The recently completed harvest shrank back to yield about 625,000 tonnes (down from 800,000t last year) as other summer crops, particularly cotton, challenged rice farmers to weigh up where their water would grow the best returns. Growers have increasingly been looking to SunRice to provide attractive forward sale price options for their crops as they budget how to get the best value from summer water allocations. Competition for water was so intense two years ago the national marketer took the unusual move of promising a $415/t guaranteed forward pool price, despite depressed global market trends, so it could secure enough Australian-grown crop to service its premium paying customer base overseas and locally. Obviously we need to plan well ahead for what the season throws up- Rob Gordon, SunRice

That crop yielded only about 240,000t, but it guaranteed SunRice enough supply to ensure the big processor did not lose key customers. Supplies were also topped up by the company‘s US SunFoods subsidiary and an emerging Vietnamese supply to service SunRice‘s longstanding Pacific region markets.―We would certainly love to see more rain and dams filling in NSW this winter,‖ said SunRice managing director, Rob Gordon. ―Obviously we need to plan well ahead for what the season throws up.―We are prudent about what we hold as carryover stock for the year ahead to ensure we have some supplies on hand, but if there are shortfalls we‘ll have to rely on backup sources again.‖ Fortunately, the Californian crop, which has also had its share of drought stresses in recent years, was set for a ―fairly normal harvest‖ in September.

Planning for price prospects To calculate their cropping budgets and planting intentions SunRice growers traditionally relied on a pool price minimum forecast which invariably lifted as the selling season evolved. However, to help farmers manage their budget options more precisely, the company also offers a fixed price across a range of rice varieties, which is locked in early in the growing season, but does not rise if sales revenues improve later.

105

Mr Gordon said while many farmers still put their faith in the pool delivering a safe averaged price, growers were increasingly fixing at least a portion of their crop sales early in the season. We have to put forward a competitive offer which gives them the best commercial return from their land and water resources-

―For various reasons, including the weather and commodity options, they‘ve all had to change their farming strategies,‖ he said. ―People are taking a bit of a hedge now – some will go with the pool, some like to lock in entirely with a fixed price, others are taking a bit of both.‖ ―I guess we are pleased to be able to give them a choice, especially as farmers are generally looking at more commodity markets to pick from. ―We have to put forward a competitive offer which gives them the best commercial return from their land and water resources.‖

Dam levels lift a little Storage levels in the major dams servicing SunRice‘s southern NSW irrigated rice regions have made some improvement of late, but remain well below full. Burrinjuck on the Murrumbidgee River started the week at 39 per cent, Blowering on the Tumut River was at 67pc and Hume on the Murray at 43pc. ―We still expect plenty of export demand so we‘re hoping for dam-filling weather and an easing in water prices so farmers can increase planting intentions in spring,‖ Mr Gordon said. Meanwhile, the past 12 months of widespread dry weather has had an upside for SunRice, with its stockfeed division, CopRice, posting a pre-tax net profit turnaround of $7 million after revenue grew 12pc to $111m in the year to April 30.As pasture conditions deteriorated, rising supplementary feeding activity triggered increased demand for CopRice‘ direct-to-farm sheep products. Comparison trials involving pelleted Coprice feed concentrate products and conventional grain-based feeds has highlighted the weight gain benefits of mixed rations for sheep, which in turn has generated sales momentum with producers running lot feeding or supplementary feeding programs to fill market contracts, particularly in areas hurt by dry seasons. A ―back to basics‖ strategy also saw CopRice reinvigorate its engagement with key retail partners in the past year. Does this article interest you?

Traders edge out NFA in race for local rice By Jasper Y. Arcalas July 1, 2018

In Photo: Workers in this file photo collect unhusked rice grains that were dried along a Pampanga road. Data obtained by the BusinessMirror indicated that the volume of unmilled rice bought by the National Food Authority from farmers in the first half of the year fell short of its target for the period. The National Food

Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s (NFA) palay-procurement program achieved only 4 percent of its target volume for 2018 as of end-June, as traders continued to aggressively compete with the food agency for locally produced rice. 107

The NFA purchased only 76,120 50-kilogram (kg) bags of palay, or around 3,806 metric tons, as of June 29. Data obtained by the BusinessMirror showed that the volume is 4 percent of the agency‘s procurement target of 2 million bags, or 100,000 MT, this year. Also, the volume is 9.47 percent of the NFA‘s goal of purchasing 804,000 bags, or 40,200 MT, in the January-to-June period.For the month of June alone, the NFA‘s procurement did not even reach half of its target volume of 30,100 bags (1,505 MT). The agency managed to purchase only 4,418 bags, or 220.9 MT, of palay last month. Industry and government sources told the BusinessMirror that the low palay-buying price of NFA is the culprit behind the lackluster performance of its rice procurement program.The NFA‘s support price of P17 per kg is lower than the offer of traders who buy palay at P20 per kg to P25 per kg. The food agency has cited this as reason for asking the NFA Council (NFAC), the agency‘s highest policy-making body, to raise its support price for palay to P25 per kg. However, the NFAC has been adamant about maintaining the current support price, as increasing it could accelerate inflation.The average farm-gate price of palay continued to go up for the seventh consecutive week, as it hit a new 45-month high of P21.36 per kg despite the arrival of rice imported by the NFA. Preliminary data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) published recently showed that the farm-gate price of unmilled rice as of the third week of June expanded by 10.79 percent, from its average quotation of P19.28 per kga year ago. PSA data compiled by the BusinessMirror showed that this is the highest recorded average farmgate price of palay since the fourth week of August 2014, when the average quotation reached P21.33 per kg.The latest farm-gate price of palay is just a few centavos away from surpassing the highest quotation of P21.53 per kg recorded by the PSA starting the fourth week of July until the first week of August in 2014. From June 13 to 19, the PSA noted that the average price of palay was well above the NFA‘s buying price of P17 per kg.

108

The highest farm-gate price of palay was recorded in South Cotabato, where traders bought rice at P25 per kg. The lowest quotation of P18 per kg was recorded in Surigao del Norte. https://businessmirror.com.ph/traders-edge-out-nfa-in-race-for-local-rice/

China changes rice import tariffs 2018-07-02 15:53:49Ecns.cnEditor : Mo Hong'e

(ECNS) - China's Ministry of Finance has announced a change in tariffs on rice imports from July 1, involving 14 items in total. Rice products imported from certain countries will abide by specific tariff rates in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization, the World Customs Organization and bilateral free trade agreements, the ministry said. Tariffs on unhusked rice, whole rice, broken rice, fine powder of rice, and coarse powder and grain of rice imported from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will be at 50 percent, 50 percent, 5 percent, 40 percent, and 5percent, respectively. The MFN tariff rate for rice, tariff-rate quotas and ordinary tariff rate will not be affected by the new policy. The tariff adjustment is based on changes to domestic rice industry standards, and the purpose is to better adapt to the needs of trade development, the ministry said. Adjustment of the tariff rate conforms to the provisions of multilateral and bilateral agreements, serves to fulfill Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s WTO commitments, and safeguards the normal trade order between China and ASEAN countries, according to the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s statement. http://www.ecns.cn/news/cns-wire/2018-07-02/detail-ifyvrptq6366985.shtml

Myanmar targets to export 2.5 mln tons of rice this year Source: Xinhua| 2018-07-02 13:19:20|Editor: Chengcheng

YANGON, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's Rice Federation targets to export 2.5 million tons of rice this year, which is the country's major agricultural product, local Daily Eleven reported Monday.

109

Meanwhile, the country earned 181.12 million U.S. dollars from 528,400 tons of rice exports via both border gates and sea route as of June 8 during the six-month transitional period which started in April. Myanmar has changed its fiscal year period from original April-March to Oct-Sept beginning 2018-2019, producing a six-month transitional gap. In last fiscal year 2017-2018, the country earned over 1.11 billion U.S. dollars from export of 2.89 million tons of rice and 620,696 tons of broken rice. Apart from rice export, the country's trying to promote other export products including peas and pulses, fisheries products, textiles, timber and forest products, rubber and tourism to solve the country's trade deficit. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-07/02/c_137295683.htm

Kharif output may be down a tad at 137.73 mt OUR BUREAUT+ T-

NEW DELHI, JULY 2 Foodgrains output during the current kharif season could be 137.73 million tonnes (mt), a tad lower than the 138.73 mt achieved in the previous kharif season, according to the first advanced estimate released by post-harvest management services company National Collateral Management Services Ltd (NCML) on Monday. The production of rice, the major kharif crop, is estimated to rise slightly to 96.8 mt from the record level 96.39 mt of the previous Kharif season. The output of oilseeds and cotton is projected to increase by 9.1 per cent and 7.6 per cent to 22.57 mt and 37.5 million bales of 170 kg, respectively, over the third advance estimate by the Agriculture Ministry. The monsoon rain in June defied forecasts of being normal and has been rather weak in many regions. Even as the rain is expected to pick up in July, the monsoon this year may be fragmented, giving non-continuous bouts of showers across different pockets, which may affect yields and production, the release said. Even then, NCML expects a 7.7 per cent dip in pulses production to 8.32 mt, particularly on account of a double-digit decrease anticipated in the harvest of tur and urad. 111

Among oilseeds, soyabean is set to record a significant increase in acreage due to better price realisation by farmers in the previous season. Its production is estimated at a record 13.3 mt, 21.6 per cent higher than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s 10.93 mt.

The prices of maize ruled low throughout the year. As a result, some farmers are likely to shift to other crops including rice. According to NCML projections, the 2018-19 Kharif maize production is projected to fall to 19 mt against a record 19.81 mt last year. Bajra output, on the other hand, could go up slightly to 9.31 mt, against 9.08 mt last year. Sugarcane production, however, may surpass last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s 355 mt to touch 360 mt, which would add challenges to the ongoing sugar glut. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/kharif-output-may-be-down-a-tad-at-13773mt/article24314571.ece

On basmati: A taxing impact against the grain TV JAYANT+ T-

Food on the table However, some say the impact is only marginal and limited to the premium product segment

Branded players say sales volumes have taken a 20-25% hit NEW DELHI, JULY 1 The branded basmati rice industry in the country has paid a heavy price after the GST roll-out, with some players claiming that the new tax regime knocked nearly 20 per cent off their sales volume. ―The imposition of 5 per cent tax on branded basmati is costing us dearly with the sales going down by as much as 20-25 per cent. As of now, we are losing out to those who are selling non-branded basmati as customers are very price-sensitive and even small increase in the price is turning them away from buying branded products,‖ said Gurnam Arora, Joint Managing Director of Kohinoor Foods Limited. ―We are being made to suffer despite the fact that we offer customers products of assured quality,‖ Arora said.

113

However, an executive associated with a premium basmati rice brand, who doesn‘t want to be named, said the dip in sales was only marginal, particularly in the premium product segment, as these consumers are more quality-conscious and thus do not mind paying a few extra bucks. Industry sources, on other hand, flagged another serious issue that emerged since the GST implementation. After the government decided to reduce the GST on restaurants to 5 per cent, from the initial 12 per cent, and denied them input credit, the eateries have begun buying rice, pulses and other food-grade commodities in non-branded bags from registered companies, helping them save margins. ―It is not just the companies that play by the rule book have lost out in the game. Even the government‘s revenue accruals are also hit by this,‖ he said. He, however, hoped the anomaly would be corrected once the e-Way bill gets fully implemented. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/macro-economy/on-basmati-a-taxing-impact-againstthe-grain/article24305499.ece

Pakistan's rice export hits 2-bln-USD mark Xinhua 2018-07-03 00:06:31 ISLAMABAD, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has exported rice worth around 2 billion U.S. dollars during the last fiscal year (FY), June 2017-July 2018, local media quoted officials as saying on Monday. Officials from the country's Trade Development Authority said the country's rice export hit the 2-billion-U.S.-dollar mark for the first time since the FY2014-15 as it achieved the target of 4 million tonnes of the crop yield this year. During the last fiscal year, exporters not only fetched huge orders from a number of countries, including even the rice-exporting Indonesia, but also managed to sell rice at a higher value per tonne, taking advantage of stable market prices and focusing on exports of branded rice in consumer packaging, the report said. Average per-tonne export price of rice in the last fiscal year also rose to around 1,040 U.S. dollars, from below 950 U.S. dollars in fiscal year 2016-17. Rise in international prices of rice coupled with a higher demand of Pakistani rice and local rice exporters investment on processing and packaging of rice also contributed to the achievement. Exporters and officials agreed that for sustaining growth in export earnings of rice, the share of higher-priced "Basmati rice," a good quality of rice cultivated mainly in Pakistan and India and sold at a good price in international market, must be increased. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-07/03/c_137296725.htm 114

Farmers syndicate chief Al-Masry Al-Youm July 1, 2018 Chief of the farmers syndicate Hussien Abdel Rahman Abu Sedam said on Sunday that the Egyptian government will be importing rice following recent poor land cultivation, a far-cry from when Egypt was once an exporter of rice.

Sedam questioned why the government would import rice without considering the risk this would pose the future of Egyptian farms and agriculture. He pointed out that there are multiple alternatives, such as the use of dry rice, a special crop that only needs water every 15 days and can grow within 120 days, which would held in rationalizing the use of water and preventing the land from fallowing. Sedam also said that the government can utilize the agricultural intensification system, which would increase agricultural production while using less water. He further suggested that the Agricultural Research Center must cooperate with more advanced countries to develop better varieties of dry rice that can bear the salinity of the land, as this might be the best hope in helping Egypt‘s water poverty crisis and secure the people‘s rice needs. Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources decided in January 2018 to reduce size of the cultivated lands of rice from 1.1 million acres to 724,200 acres, causing increase of rice prices. Egypt‘s Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Ezz Eddin Abo Setit stated in June that Egypt suffers from water scarcity and falls below the level of water poverty, according to the international classification of countries where per capita of water has decreased. He added that Egypt relies on a major and steady source of water, which is Egypt‘s share of the Nile water, and the country is suffering from large increase in population, restricting the use of water especially in the agricultural sector, the most water-consuming regions. He explained that overpopula 3 tion increases demand on water for irrigation purposes to secure the food needs of the country, and this amounts the pressure to make programs to rationalize use of water in irrigation. http://www.egyptindependent.com/government-imports-rice-due-poor-cultivation-farmers-syndicatechief/ 115

Despite ban, imported rice floods Nigerian markets By Hussein Yahaya & Vincent A. Yusuf | Publish Date: Jul 1 2018 5:42AM

In spite the ban on imported rice by the Federal Government through the land boarders two years ago, huge quantities of imported rice flood Nigerian markets. This development leaves many locally produced brands merely struggling to survive and very few have presence in some of the markets. Daily Trust went to some of the big markets in Abuja to investigate how the local rice fares. At the Garki Ultra Modern Markets, one can find no fewer than eight different brands of foreign or imported rice.These brands include Pearl, Falcon, Royal Stallion, Tomato Aroso, Thai Caprice and Moto. Others are Tripple Seven, Oriba among others. Although there are local rice brands such as Umza from Kano, Miva from Benue and Olamâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s Mama Pride/Gold from Nasarawa, only the Olamâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s rice has strong presence in the Garki market where it can be seen in most stores; whereas Umza and Mavi are rarely visible.Often the difference between the local and imported brand is no more than N50. However, the consumers are influenced by this little difference to go for the imported rice, which they think is more polished, not minding the nutritional quality.

116

For instance, a 50kg bag of Tomato Aroso costs N14,550 whereas the same bag of Olam‘s Mama Pride was offered to the reporter at the last price of N14,500. At the Wuse and Utako markets, where the reporter visited no fewer than eight stores, local rice have very little presence as foreign rice dominates.A seller, who identified himself as Patrick Daniel, said the boom in the foreign rice market was influenced by buyers‘ preference for the imported variety, adding that there was need for that to change. General Manager, Labana Rice Mill Ltd in Birni Kebbi, Kebbi State, Abdullahi Idris Zuru told Daily Trust that many local processors are unable to sell their rice. He argued that the rice that comes in now is unprecedented and takes employment and wealth out of the country.―Like this year, I am telling you, you can check all over, not more than 50% of the farmers that did dry season farming went back to it this year. Now, as a processor you buy the rice, process it but you cannot sell. So how can you go back to the market and buy rice paddy. Even if the processors will buy, they will do so at lower prices.‖ Also speaking, Alhaji Aminu Goronyo, the National President of Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) said the imported rice was taking so much money out of the economy and making it difficult for the farmers to make money in the country.Goronyo believes total closure of the boarder was long overdue if government really wants to protect the country from diseases and capital flight. Available statistic from the rice farmers‘ association indicates that the annual rice production in Nigeria increased from 5.5 million tonnes in 2015 to 5.8 million tonnes in 2017. Goronyo, told News Agency of Nigeria late last year that the consumption rate as at then was 7.9 million tonnes while the production rate was 5.8 million tonnes per anum, leaving the gap of about one million tonne.
