Ogun customs warns rice smugglers

Posted By: Our Reporteron: March 26, 2016In: 

The Ogun State Customs Area Command has declared a zero tolerance for rice smuggling.Speaking during an interactive session with reporters at the Idiroko Customs Area Command, Comptroller of Customs in Ogun State, Mr Waindu Multafu said the grace period given to importers who have already initiated import processes ended yesterday.He said:”In October 2015, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service(NCS),Col. Hameed Ali(rtd) approved the reversal of an earlier policy which allowed rice imports through the land borders, once appropriate duty and charges were paid and that policy has really brought so much revenue to the government.

It is however regrettable that since January 2016, the much desired revenue from importation of rice through the land borders started dwindling with importers blaming access to forex as major impedimets.”He added:”It should also be noted that credible intelligence sources revealed that the dwindling revenue from rice imports through the land borders do not match the volume of rice landed in neighbouring ports. Rather, it indicated an increase in rice smuggling, hence, the need to re-impose the restriction on rice coming through our land borders. “Therefore, all officers and men of Ogun Area Command are enjoined to adhere strictly to this new directive and ensure zero tolerance to rice imports through our land borders irrespective of the volume as defaulters shall be sanctioned appropriately.”

Agriculture Minister assures of “a comeback in the Agricultural Sector”

John Baimba Sesay-China

Sierra Leone has a vision of making the agriculture sector the ‘engine’ for socio-economic growth and development through commercial agriculture and the promotion of private sectorinvestment in it.   In a 2009 address to the Sierra Leone Chamber of Commerce, President Ernest Bai Koroma said the goal was for us to move away from “subsistence to commercial agriculture, agro-processing, adding value to our agricultural products and realizing maximum benefit from the richness of our soil.”
During the 2010 Business Bomba Competition Final, the President called for a rise in agricultural production, productivity, and competitiveness in the sector “because it touches the lives of so many Sierra Leoneans.” Since then, government has taken the sector as one of several priority sectors, in the country’s drive to sustainable development.    The sector accounts for 70 percent of the country’s labor force and contributes over 40% to  Gross Domestic Product.  However, the Ebola outbreak in the second half of 2014 adversely affected production and productivity. The country’s Ebola Recovery Strategy, says “the total national crop production of 2.09 million tons in 2014 was a decrease of about five percent from production levels in 2013. Production of the main staple crop, rice, is estimated to have declined by eight percent.”
What is being done to remedy this challenge, given the tremendous resources Government has put into the sector?    Professor Patrick Monty Jones is Sierra Leone’s Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security. Being the only African member of the Board of theChinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), he was recently in Beijing for the 4th International Advisory Board Meeting of CAAS from the 17th-18th March,2016. He has been a member of the Board since his days at the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa.
CAAS meets annually. The 2016 meeting looked at the program of CAAS and discussed how it could collaborate with International Institutions.   In this interview, Professor Jones elaborates on the vision of His Excellency President Ernest Bai Koroma for the agriculture sector. He also assures of “a comeback in the agricultural sector”
First, he explains how his meeting in China could benefit Sierra Leone especially in the country’s drive to sustainable development through the agriculture sector”
 Minister: It would enhance strong collaboration with Africa and with Sierra Leone in particular because I am the only African in the Board. And they gave me a list of 17 areas of possible collaboration which includes fellowships and that is the first thing that I would want to pursue. Fellowships would benefit Sierra Leonean youths that want to come for their first or higher degrees. They want to collaborate with us in various aspects of Rice Research, Rice Development Programs, Rice Production and Adding Value to commodities like rice, etc.  In that regard, I think this will be of considerable benefit to Sierra Leone. It will be of considerable benefit to them also since when you collaborate it is going to be a win-win situation. We looked at the possibility of establishing a Rice Farm in Africa. CAAS is in a position to give assistance. Sierra Leone is in a position to receive assistance and at the same time, to render services to CAAS that will eventually make CASS a beneficiary as well.
Baimba: Following your appointment as Minister, you went on a tour across Sierra Leone. Why was that?
Minister: There were a lot of issues. The tour was to carry out sensitization and familiarization. I have gone to the 14 Districts of the country, including the Urban and Rural Areas. The farmers are making demands from government on issues related to use of machinery, supply of fertilizers; etc. There are a lot of other issues they brought up to me for discussions.  I took the opportunity of talking to not just the farmers but also Researchers, Agriculturists, ministry personnel, NGOs, Donors, etc, explaining the vision of His Excellency the President particularly to the farmers and to those involve in agricultural production.
Baimba:  You mentioned the President’s vision for the sector. What is it?
Minister: The vision of His Excellency the President is to increase production and productivity. Our productivity is very low even compared to other countries in Africa. Even when we were at the same point with Mali, some years back, Mali’s stable food-rice is getting something like 4 tons per hectare and we are still talking about 1.2 tons per hectare in lowland system and 1.2 tons per hectare in upland system. So we need to do what we should do, to promote agricultural development. In fact, we are going to take commodity by commodity to see how we can work through the value chain to increase production and productivity. Through the value chain means, we have to go from Research, to Extension, to Adaption, to Value Addition to Market. The commodities we are going to target are rice, our stable food, then cassava and sweet potato and cash crops, including cocoa, coffee, oil palm, ginger and cashew, and poultry, cattle and forestry as well. We’ll look into all of these commodities and first of all, try to ensure self sufficiency in each of them and find ways of adding value to them for international and domestic markets.
Baimba: Great plans, but what about granting loans and supply of fertilizers to farmers where possible?
Minister: Part of the message we have been passing to the farmers is like encouraging them, giving them hope that there is a brighter future for them and for agricultural development. Generally, we tend to be misguided sometimes. I will say when we’re talking about machinery, people think of big combined harvesters, big tractors, etc. But I feel that with the sizes of farms in Sierra Leone (two hectares, maximum five hectares), only occasionally do you have the big time farmers that go above 50 hectares, a thousand hectares, etc. Until you have 20, 000-50, 000 hectares, you don’t need combined harvesters or big tractors. Rather, you need power tillers, small threshers, etc. These are the kinds of machinery that we’ll bring to the farmers this time, as well as making available to them fertilizers and seedlings.
And talking about loans, that is why we created the Apex Bank. In fact, we have a project that I just signed off on from which will be making something like 12 million dollars available to the Apex Bank so that the Apex Bank will pass on that money to what we call the Financial Services Agencies and then the Community Banks. These Community Banks would now pass on these loans to farmers.
Baimba: But how effective are these Community Banks?
Minister: Some of the Community Banks were not giving loans to the farmers. They prefer giving these loans to traders and others because our farmers have defaulted in paying back in the past. So one of my messages going round was to talk to them to pay back their loans; talk to them not to be afraid to take loans. All those big American or Japanese Farmers you see started by taking loans. But you must have that discipline to be able to pay back your loan for the fund to be revolving and getting back to other people. The first thing is to make sure that we make available those machinery that the farmers want and we are concentrating on that.
Baimba: How strategically positioned is your ministry in the post Ebola recovery plan?
Minister: His Excellency the President, apart from the Agenda for Prosperity, has come up with the Presidential Post Ebola Recovery Plan. Agriculture is heavily involved in that plan. We are looking at two very important results- improving agricultural production and productivity and enhancing commercial agriculture. We had three additional results. If we pursue those things, we’ll begin to see a comeback in the agricultural sector.  Why import rice when you have the facility to grow enough rice in the country? Why import onion which can grow and in one season you can meet the demand of the country and have a surplus? Why import vegetable oil when you can grow crops that will enable you to produce your own oil? Even from oil palm, we can get vegetable oil as well. Stop the importation, as much as possible reduce it to the minimum because there’ll always be some level of importation. But you don’t have to spend US $156 million annually to import rice. And only about 12% of our cultivable area in the country is under cultivation today.
Baimba: Research is crucial in ensuring a comeback in the sector. What is the link between your ministry and the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI)?
Minister: SLARI is a quasi governmental institution and it is under the umbrella of the ministry. We’re working closely with them. We’ve discussed their strategy and how they should adopt what we call the value chain approach, mentioned earlier. At every stage of the value chain, SLARI has got a role to play; to identify what are the key commodities, what are the pathways for adoption, what are the pathways to the market and how do we increase yield of those commodities, etc. SLARI should not work in isolation of other entities like Extension, Engineering and all of those groups. They should work together in a much more collaborative, integrated fashion and in much more innovative ways and approaches that will ensure maximum impact on the ground. SLARI is going to play its role and all these trips I made to every corner of the country, SLARI has been there with me.
Baimba: If you should have a 24 months target in your new job, what should the public expect?
Minister: We are vigorously trying to see how we can be self-sufficient in rice. I’m looking at that same period, towards end of 2018 when we’ll say yes, we’ve been able to attain food self sufficiency and be able to flood our markets with domestic rice. We’re looking at coming up with a big project by September-November this year. The investor just left Sierra Leone. He wants to come and cultivate 100,000 hectares of rice, engage 17-20,000 farm families. But that’ll eventually affect about 85-100,000 farming communities in Sierra Leone. That’ll make tremendous improvement. He wants to use irrigated scheme, and he is looking at Tormabom area and we’re trying to convince him to also look between Lunsar and Makeni, there is a span of bolilands, so that we can see how we increase production and productivity.

Haryana govt suffered Rs 52-cr loss as 19 millers failed to deliver rice

The report states that in case of HAIC, physical verification reports were not available whereas in case of HSWC, physical verification reports were deficient.


Written by Sanjeev Verma | Chandigarh | Published:March 26, 2016 3:13 am
Haryana government suffered a loss of Rs. 52.06 crore since 19 millers did not deliver 1.64 lakh quintal of rice out of the total 8.45 lakh quintal of paddy allotted to them for the three Kharif marketing seasons from 2012-13 to 2014-2015, according a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report.The CAG report tabled in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha last week pointed out that misappropriation of paddy was facilitated due to non-adherence to guidelines of the state government and non-obtaining of proper guarantee in the shape of FDR(fixed deposit receipt)/bank guarantee for the milling of paddy. The other reason cited by CAG for misappropriation of paddy is poor monitoring of the paddy stored in millers’ premises.
The CAG observed that the procuring agencies, Haryana Agro Industries Corporation (HAIC) and Haryana State Warehousing Corporation(HSWC), though presented the post dated cheques kept as guarantee for the paddy of 11 millers who defaulted in delivery of rice but these cheques bounced and FIRs were lodged against millers for misappropriation of paddy.At the same time, the auditor noticed that HAIC had lost over Rs 7.8 crore due to “unscientific and improper preservation of wheat”. The audit stated that the Food Corporation of India had not taken over 5,974.85 Metric Tonnes of wheat for crop years 2010-12 due to damage caused by unscientific storage and were unfit for human consumption and even as cattle feed.

The report states that in case of HAIC, physical verification reports were not available whereas in case of HSWC, physical verification reports were deficient. It has also been pointed out that M/s Bodh Parkash Rohit Kumar Rice Mill at Ambala was given paddy despite not being allotted by district milling committee. Also, HAIC did not initiate shift paddy from the premises of the defaulting millers namely M/s Jai Maa Sharda Mills at Naraingarh and M/s Mittal Rice and General Mill at Ambala, mentions the audit report.
The audit report has brought to fore that the M/s Dayachand Rice Mill in Jind, which comes under HAIC and was a defaulter miller of earlier Kharif marketing season, was allotted paddy despite there being clear instructions not to make any paddy allotment to the Mill.Among the total 19 defaulting rice mills, located in Ambala, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Jind, Fatehabad and Yamunanagar districts, Rs 6 crore is to be recovered from M/s Shree Krishna Agro Food of Chormatspur in Ambala. A total of over Rs 5 crore is to be recovered from Mohinder Rice Mills at Ambala and around the same from M/s Jayanti Rice Mill at Kurukshetra.

Rice farmers in Volta ask for technological support

      Category: General News MARCH 26, 2016  11  0
Rice farmers in the Volta Region have called for technological support to increase yields towards meeting increasing local and international demands.The farmers currently produce only 180,000 metric tonnes of paddy rice a year, the highest in the country, which is half of their production capacity.At a two-day workshop under the auspices of the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Feed the Future Agriculture Policy Support Project, the farmers said they could produce more than 380,000 tonnes a year if they had combine harvesters, threshers and power tillers.Checks by the Ghana News Agency revealed that apart from a few farmers in the South of the region, who had those machinery, hundreds of other rice farmers were still relying on cutlass and hoe for land preparation and sickle and knife for harvesting.
The farmers said with technological support, they could produce and save the country of the about 500 million dollars spent on rice importation annually.Dr. Joseph Ofori, a Research Fellow of the Soil and Irrigation Research Centre at the University of Ghana, said with efficient technological support, good nutrients and water management, the Region could achieve sustainable rice production.Walter Nunez-Rodriguez, the Chief of Party of the Agriculture Policy Support Project (APSP), also told the GNA that with improvement in technology Ghana could increase production, reduce import and enhance food security.In all the 25 districts of the Region, except one, rice is cultivated in low lying areas and valleys.Out of 281 valleys covering 40.093 hectares, only 26 are being developed, with potentials largely untapped.The workshop was, thus, to strengthen the capacity of members of the Volta Rice Producers Network in appreciating the Agricultural policy process in Ghana.

Bloggers Think Rice 1.5 Million Times for National Nutrition Month   

      Breakfast risotto 
CYBERSPACE - In honor of March National Nutrition Month, USA Rice hosted a two-week campaign with the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network to spread the U.S. rice message and share delicious rice recipes with people across the country.  The promotion kicked-off March 14 with a blog post on Healthy Aperture's website introducing the "Think Rice" theme and the ten top-level bloggers participating.
"These bloggers are comprised of both influential registered dietitians and healthy living enthusiasts, which broadens the audience exposed to our messages," said Katie Maher, director of domestic promotion programs.Each day during the campaign, a new blog post was published featuring a unique U.S. rice recipe and stunning food photography.  The posts included cooking tips, key USA Rice messages, and often a story behind the recipe.  The bloggers also shared their recipes via social media using the campaign hashtag #ThinkRice."Nearly 30% of shoppers report that blogs impact their purchasing decision," said Maher.  "So enlisting this group of powerful food and nutrition bloggers is a great way to encourage the public to think rice while enhancing USA Rice's recipe database."
In just two weeks, this blogger initiative generated more than 1.5 million impressions through the combined blog and social media posts.  And to top things off, Maher points out that now USA Rice owns these healthy, on-trend recipes and images."It's so great to see all the different ways people think rice," said Maher.  "For example, we now have two takes on risotto - one blogger created a healthy breakfast risotto with berries and another created a vegan risotto with spring vegetables.  Expanding our recipe library to include rice in different meal parts like breakfast, and to offer vegan recipe ideas is exactly what we need to do to keep rice fresh and exciting."
Healthy Aperture is a nutrition food blog and photography sharing site founded, and hosted, by registered dietitians.  The Healthy Aperture platform enabled USA Rice to engage with influential food and nutrition bloggers, get them cooking with U.S. rice, and educate them on important U.S.-grown rice messages that they in turn share with their readers

A bagful of Tyrolean hospitality

Andrea and her family

From soaking in the beauty and history of Innsbruck to sinking her teeth into some delectable Sacher Torte and cooking sambar for an Austrian family, RATHINA SANKARI sums up the perfect holiday

The ICE (InterCity Express) whizzed through the countryside as we left behind the tall buildings of Munich. The landscape changed dramatically, and the bucolic surroundings seemed like they were straight out of a Bollywood movie. Splashes of red and yellow announced the onset of autumn, and the much-looked-forward-to cattle festival called Viehscheid. The annual descent of decorated livestock from their summer alpine pastures is celebrated across the high-altitude region of Germany and Austria. Across my seat, a septuagenarian gave me some company as he conversed between his catnaps. A resident of Berlin, he was on his way to a village close to Innsbruck to retrieve his broken-down campervan.
By the time the train chugged into Innsbruck, the overcast skies indicated a wet day ahead. I checked into Nala, a quirky boutique hotel in the Wilten district, before meeting my guide Andrea Werwitz, a slim lady with a soft demeanour and warm smile. With rain gear in place, we walked towards the city centre. It had already started to rain, but the downpour hadn’t deteriorated the spirits of the pedestrians at the Maria-Theresien-Strasse, a bustling street named after the Empress Maria Theresa. Peppered with impressive monuments like the Triumphal Arch and St. Anne’s Column along with an array of shops and restaurants, the street is the lifeline of the Alpine city. Founded in the 12th Century by the Bavarian Counts of Andech, the city derives its name from the river Inn flowing across it. Innsbruck, meaning bridge across the Inn, has an old-world charm as you pass through the Altstadt, meaning Old Town. After the Andechs died out, the land passed on to the Counts of Tirol, and by the 14th Century, the county of Tyrol was ruled by the Habsburgs, who continued for the next 650 years.
We took the Nordkettenbahnen cableway to Seegrube, for a panoramic view of Innsbruck through the glass gondolas. As we gained height, the weather changed drastically, and it had started to snow. This year, the mountains had received the first coat of white quite early, and the pine trees on the slopes were drenched in silver, giving me a Christmassy feeling. Nordpark lay sprawled like an enchantress, tempting visitors to explore her magic through numerous alpine trails, skiing, snowboarding or downhill biking. I, however, chose to warm myself with a bowl of piping hot soup at the Seegrube restaurant.
As we returned to the foothills, we crossed the Imperial Palace that had a huge exhibition to commemorate the 250th death anniversary of Emperor Francis Stephen of Lorraine. But what caught my eye was the Imperial Church which houses the tomb of Emperor Maximilian I. The cenotaph was surrounded by 28 larger-than-life bronze statues of his ancestors, which were made over a period of 80 years. The national hero Andreas Hofer, who died a brave death fighting Napoleon’s troops, is buried in the state church.
As Andrea and I bonded over a steaming cuppa and some famous Sacher Torte at Café Sacher, she told me about her travels and her love for sambar. While she had attempted making the lentil-based vegetable stew herself, she admitted that it hadn’t turned out well; I offered to make it for her the next day, if time permitted.
The following morning, after a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast, Andrea and I headed towards the architectural marvel that is the Bergisel Olympic Ski Jump Tower. I was lucky to spot a show jumper as he slid down the glide. After a short stop at Grassmayr Bell Foundry Museum and the Ambras Castle, a romantic 16th Century castle, I took a bus to the Swarovski Crystal Worlds. Daniel Swarovski, founder of the Swarovski Group and a patent holder for a machine to grind crystal stones to perfection, has left a rich legacy in the world of crystals. To celebrate the centennial anniversary, Swarovski Crystal Worlds was opened in 1995 at Wattens. The giant exhibition is awe-inspiring, as international artistes have interpreted and showcased crystal in different forms in its Chambers of Wonder. Tyrol had surprised me with its vast history, culture and innovation.
As I made my way back, Andrea invited me home to make sambar. Armed with sambar masala from the nearby Asian store, Andrea drove me to her beautiful home with bewitching views of the Austrian Alps. As I stirred a bubbling pot of sambar, I bonded with her children — a shy boy of seven and a smart girl of 11. As we sat together and had an early dinner of sambar and basmati rice, her husband joined us. Andrea’s daughter watched me eat with my hands and was intrigued.
A hearty meal later, I bid farewell to the wonderful Werwitz family. Andrea offered to pack me some rice and sambar for my train journey to Vienna the next day. As I left behind a little bit of India at Andrea’s place, I carried home a bag full of memories from Tyrol.
