Former Thai PM Yingluck Defends Herself in Open Letter Posted on Facebook

Nov 11, 2015

In an open letter posted on Facebook, Former Thai Prime Minister (PM) Yingluck Shinawatra  defended herself to junta leader Prayath Chan-ocha. Yingluck is potentially looking at serving 10 years in prison for criminal charges related to her management of the rice scheme starting in 2011 which saw Thailand waste billions of dollars and amass tens of millions of tons of rice.
In the letter, Yingluck says the losses of the rice scheme are still yet unknown and the attorney general was “rushing the legal process,” according to Reuters.
A trial date has not yet been set. The Thailand Supreme Court said it will review evidence until November 2016. In September, Yingluck filed criminal charges against the attorney general alleging the charges against her were unfair.  Later that month, the court dismissed her case saying it found no evidence of mishandling by prosecutors. 
Yingluck is likely to continue to fight charges against her, part of a larger saga between the royalist Thai military establishment and the Shinawatra family.

Rice Traders Use UAE to Import Indian Basmati Rice into Iran

Nov 11, 2015

In an effort to get around Iran’s restrictive  import permits on India’s basmati rice, Indian rice is first being shipped to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and then on to Iran, according to the Business Standard. 
Iran imports about 100,000 tons of basmati rice on average each month; in August-September 2015, Iran imported about 81,000 tons from the UAE, up from 18,000 tons the same period a year ago. 
Iran stopped issuing import licenses for Indian basmati rice in October 2014 but is soon expected to lift restrictions as they are viewed as pointless since Iranian rice imports are still finding a way to bring Indian rice into the country.   However, Iran’s restrictions have reduced India’s basmati rice exports from about 1.4 million tons in 2013-14 to 930,000 tons in 2014-15, according to India’s Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, and have also severely weighed on domestic basmati prices.
