Rice straw can be used to make geotextiles
August 11, 2016 9:49 pm
Rice
straw can be used to make geo-textiles, a class of products that is in great
demand worldwide and whose market can reach $8.632 billion by 2019 according to
marketsandmarkets.com.Geotextiles are commonly used for applications such as
erosion control on slopes and along roadways.The most popular raw material for
geotextiles is coconut husks, which are waste products from coconut farms and
processing plants.
Although
the Philippines is a major supplier of coco coir geotextiles, India and Sri
Lanka are the world’s top producers.According to the paper “Utilization of Rice
Straw Biomass in the Production of Biodegradable Geotextile” authored by
Rolando Javellonar and Victorino Taylan, the country produces about 18.52
billion kilograms of rice straw annually.
“Of this
amount, about 95 percent or 17.1 billion kg is left and burned in the field
which emits greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and climate
change,” they added.Javellonar is a faculty of College of Engineering and
Technology, Romblon State University in Odiongan, Romblon while Taylan is
faculty of the College of Engineering, Central Luzon State University in Munoz,
Nueva Ecija.The researchers prepared rice straw mat using a binder while rice
straw net was prepared by making a straw twine that was turned into a rope by
spinning two twines. Then from the rice straw rope a net was formed through
weaving.Javellonar and Victorino said their research showed rice straw mat had
higher water absorption capacity at 328.5 percent and percentage swelling of
17.5 percent compared to rice straw net with only 167.3 percent and 1.8
percent, respectively.
However,
their testing showed rice straw net recorded higher tensile strength of 2.0 kN
cm-2 when wet and 1.95 kN cm-2 when dry as compared to rice straw mat with 1.08
kN cm-2 when wet and 1.02 kN cm-2 when dry.“The observed water absorption
capacity of rice straw mat and rice straw net as well as tensile strength of
rice straw net exceeded the standard generic specification values set by the
Department of Public Works and Highways for geotextile as erosion control
material.Hence, both the developed rice straw geotextiles can be utilized as
ground cover for soil erosion mitigation or an alternate erosion control
material in areas where coco coir net is not available,” the researchers
said.The paper of Javellonar and Taylan was presented during the annual
convention of the Philippine Society of Agricultural Engineers on April 24-30
at the Mariano Marcos state University in Batac City, Ilocos Norte.

In a bid
to improve quality of Basmati rice for export, a maiden workshop presided by
eminent scientists, was conducted at this border town on Tuesday
evening.“Residues of pesticides over the admissible limits is a major problem
of exporters and above was the maiden initiative for farmers, exporters,
scientist from PAU and other officials to come on one platform and gave a
thought to look out for measures to resolve the critical issue,” said, Sameer
Mittal, director of Bhagawti Lacto vegetarian exports private limited.“Presence
of pesticide residue in rice is adversely affecting export of rice to various
nations as it failed to meet with their food standards,” rued Mittal. “Following rejection of such rice, a number of rice exporters have suffered huge loss. Decline of Basmati rice will not affect economy of nation but also demoralise farmers to adopt crop diversification,” he aggrieved further.In the meantime, VP Singh former principal scientist at Indian Agriculture Research Institute, who developed Paddy 1121 variety of Basmati gave tips to reduce residue of pesticides in rice besides improving quality of Basmati rice.
Organised by local leading rice exporter ‘Bhagawti Lacto vegetarian exports private limited (BLVEPL) in association with Basmati Export Development Federation, Agricultural and Processed Food Export Development Authority of India and Krishi Vigyan Kendra Ferozepur, workshop was attended by a number of farmers of the vicinity besides rice exporters as well as commission agents.

A offers modern tools to farmers in terraces
Philippine Daily Inquirer
01:06 AM August 12th, 2016
IFUGAO farmers have been tending to their rice
terraces by hand for hundreds of years. But the government intends to offer terrace
rice producers machinery to improve their yield. EV ESPIRITU/INQUIRER NORTHERN
LUZON
BAGUIO
CITY—Indigenous rice grown on terrace farms in Ifugao and Mountain Province is
being reclassified as a high-value crop to improve the farming economy of the Cordillera.Kalinga
province is the region’s primary rice producer but the low yield of heirloom
rice is also pulling down agriculture production from a negative 0.3 percent in
2014 to a negative 4.1 percent in 2015.The Department of Agriculture (DA) has proposed
a P300-million budget for 2017 to mechanize terrace farming and repair damaged
terraces, said Lorenzo Caranguian, DA Cordillera director.While the Cordillera gross regional domestic product rose from 3.3 percent in 2014 to 3.7 percent last year, the slide in agricultural growth is alarming because farming has the biggest labor force in the region, said Milagros Rimando, the regional director of the National Economic and Development Authority.Caranguian said Cordillera rice production is limited by terrain.He added that some 12,000 hectares of farms are planted exclusively to the heirloom rice, “tinawon,” which pulls down rice-production targets in the region.Terrace farms in Ifugao plant tinawon, which is harvested only once a year, producing up to only 60 bags per hectare. High breed rice can produce up to 200 bags a hectare.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol directed the agency to remove the heirloom rice from its regular rice program and reclassify it as a high-value crop, Caraguian said.
He said the government would not interfere with farmers’ choice of crops but would offer them modern farm tools like microtillers, micropressers and micromills. Vincent Cabreza, Inquirer Northern Luzon
2016 Arkansas Rice Expo Celebrates Largest Production
Year on Record
By Chuck Wilson
August 11, 2016
STUTTGART, AR -- Against the backdrop of reports of rice harvest in
various pockets of the state, more than 1,000 people came out for Wednesday's
Arkansas Rice Expo to celebrate the rice industry and the beginning of the 2016
rice harvest. Arkansas is expected to
produce more than fifty percent of the rice grown in the United States for the
second consecutive year and have the largest production year on record.
Attendees toured research plots, heard reports on new technology for in-bin rice
drying and storage, factors impacting rice milling yields, and UAV (drone)
capabilities for Arkansas agriculture, and participated in a myriad of
family-friendly activities. Attendees
also heard insights from Senator John Boozman (R-AR), Congressman Rick Crawford
(R-AR), and Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) who started his professional
career at Riceland.
"I
commend the University of Arkansas's Division of Agriculture for organizing
this excellent event," said Ward.
"Our job is to make sure there is demand both here and abroad for
this new crop and I am excited about the new initiatives we are working on to
help promote U.S.-grown rice, expand existing markets, and open new ones."
In addition to attending the Rice Expo, USA Rice Federation President
& CEO Betsy Ward, Vice President of Marketing, Communications &
Domestic Promotion Michael Klein, and Senior Director of Meetings and Member
Services Jeanette Davis met with officials at Poinsett Rice, Windmill Rice,
Southwind Milling Company, and visited with new USA Rice Chairman Brian
King.
USA Rice also gave
presentations at Tuesday's meeting of the Arkansas Rice Research and Promotion
Board, and USA Rice Stewardship Partnership Coordinator Josh Hankins shared
developments on the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) project
with the board.

Making Food Naturally
- BY VICKY BRANTON | THE DAILY IBERIAN
- Updated Aug 10, 2016
Are you a label reader? Local products find a
niche
The sign
is easily visible on E. St. Peter Street pointing west at Ann Street. The
Conrad Rice Mill is the oldest continually running rice mill in the United
States. It is also the No. 2 destination for out of state tourist in Iberia
Parish, second only to McIlhenney Co.’s Avery Island. But everyday brings new
challenges for the owners, Mike and Sandy Davis, who purchased the mill in
1975.“We only buy from Louisiana rice growers. There’s no reason to do
otherwise,” said Davis about the basic ingredient in their Konriko and Hol
Grain product lines.Visitors start in the reception center, the country store lined with Konriko products and other Louisiana specialties that don’t conflict with its own products. Tours on an hourly basis begin with a slide presentation. The theater seats a bus load, literally, in wooden pews bought from an old church. Then a guided tour. To maintain the integrity of the line, a scale model of the factory shows the places where the products are made. They are packaged five days a week.“That’s the beauty of what we do here,” Davis said. “We have a small group of people here and they are all cross trained. Today they do seasoning, tomorrow they’ll make crackers and the next rice. They can all do that.”
John Bourque, the Coteau volunteer fire chief, is his operations manager.What visitors won’t see is the inside of the building where the Wild Pecan and Artichoke Rice as well as crackers, all the seasonings and custom products are made. The main packaging room is dehumidified because many of the spices are hygroscopic which Davis said means they accept moisture from the atmosphere. Keeping them in a dehumidified room makes a difference.
The cracker machine and continuous flow oven was bought in Chicago and took nine truck loads to relocate to New Iberia. It runs about once a week to make the whole grain crackers, which is what got Konriko into the whole grain food business about 20 years ago.
Hol Grain was originally made in the northwest, around Seattle and Portland, and did very well there until it was bought by a soft cookie dough company in Illinois. The whole grain cracker was not a match for them so the owners called Davis up one day and asked if he was interested in buying the cracker business. Davis knew the man from trade shows and adding the crackers made sense as another outlet for the rice products.
“We bought that line in the (New Orleans) airport as he was passing through, for not much money,” Davis said. “By the time we got it set up, it cost a lot.”
Adding and Subtracting
Davis then added a company with rice products that required some revamping which led Konriko into a new market nationally.
“I have a little scale right here (in his office). I bought R.M. Quiggs in Miami, the first yellow rice ever packaged,” Davis said. “The original yellow rice was 56 percent MSG which makes your taste buds salivate more than normal, a flavor enhancer. If I can’t do it right, I don’t do it, in my opinion.”
Davis tipped the scales for success when he removed the fillers.
“Adding fillers is cheaper than seasoning. They’re almost always more expensive,” Davis said. “We are the only company in Louisiana that is STAR-K certified kosher. The products are certified gluten free and certified non-GMO, a process that is time consuming and costly but worth the value.”
Konriko literally has rabbis come in for inspections, gluten free reps coming to test the products. They come back to check regularly.
“We test every month for gluten. Everything we make is rice,” Davis said. “At one time we had some products that had a little corn as a carrier but we got rid of that. Most corn has been genetically modified with wind drift, going from a genetically modified to a non-genetically modified crop and it gets all crossed up. I don’t believe in genetically modified foods.”
Davis said the company has the only “clean” yellow rice in America. It is plain white rice with turmeric, saffron and black pepper added. Yellow rice is very popular but other brands have MSG, including the original Quiggs at 56 percent. Also, others had red or yellow dyes and man-made additives. Davis took everything out and started over using rice starch as the “carrier.” Even in the Konriko seasonings, rice is the carrier, not cornmeal.
“We’ve learned how to do,” Davis said. “We make everything without MSG and it taste good.”
When taking out the MSG and other fillers, Davis said the mill is adding the real spices and seasonings which results in Konriko being a little more expense. Konriko is adding flavor not fillings, he said. Spices cost more than salt or MSG.
Reaching New Markets
Davis took his reworked yellow rice to south Florida to Whole Foods offices. He couldn’t pitch “organic” because no rice growers in Louisiana are organic growers. Instead, he markets the non-GMO labeling, a 6-month project to get approval.
“The guy looked at the package and said there was not a yellow rice in the entire chain because they are all loaded down with MSG and all sorts of things,” Davis said. “He literally bought (Konriko’s “Quiggs” yellow rice) while I was sitting there. They never do that.”
Davis continued to visit regional distribution points for Whole Foods, getting into stores around the country until they also requested the yellow rice be packaged in 5-gallon buckets. Whole Foods wanted to start selling the yellow rice in bulk. Davis said there’s a lot left to do for full coverage in all areas of the country, but Konriko definitely has a presence in Whole Foods.
“We want to make stuff people can eat,” Davis said. “I bought Hol Grain to go into the natural side of the business. The Konriko Brand was sold in the grocery stores but to go into natural food stores or Whole Foods, they wouldn’t talk to us because we were a supermarket brand. So we bought the Hol Grain crackers and started learning about the gluten-free thing. We’d been gluten-free for 104 years, we just didn’t know it.”
On the whole, the rest of the country can’t handle hot spices, so very little in the Konriko line is Cajun. Although they sell their products locally, it is the rest of the country that is the company’s bread and butter buyer.
There is a jalapeno seasoning in addition to the traditional Konriko Creole Seasoning and a Greek Seasoning that is a new-found personal favorite of this writer. Davis has started wholesaling gallons of the Greek seasonings to about 10 Greek restaurants around the country.
“When a Greek restaurant buys your seasoning, that’s like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval,” Davis said. “We’re pretty proud of it. When you look at ingredients, you have to list in the order of amounts used. When you see an ingredient in the top three or four, there is a lot included.
For Health, Not Hype
One of the reasons Konriko does well with the rice is that it is naturally gluten free, it doesn’t have the protein that causes health problems.
Very few people actually have celiac disease, Davis said, but there is an increase in wheat sensitivity. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and a reported 83 percent of Americans are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. There are no pharmaceutical treatments or cures for celiac disease symptoms. The only treatment is a 100 percent gluten free diet, according to beyondceliac.org.
Another product making a difference in food sensitive homes is the Hol Grain Gravy Thickener.
“We started taking the rice flour we use for some other things, would put it through the machine several times until it was silky,” Davis said. “It turns out you can take your drippings and just sprinkle it into the pan. It doesn’t clump or lump. Now we’re selling this around the country to people who don’t have anything to do with celiac because it takes a whole step out of gravy making. You don’t have to mix it with water first.”Roasted rice cake ground bread crumbs is another healthier creation by Davis adding crunch to baked foods.

Rice one of the most manipulated crops, including in the U.S.
The U.S. rice industry has made no secret of their feelings on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. As far as rice industry members are concerned, the trade agreement seemingly has something for everyone – except Southern rice.Bill Reed, vice president for corporate communications and public affairs at Riceland Foods, says TPP could actually reduce sales of rice from the Mid-South because of increased access to the Mexican market for Southeast Asian countries, primarily Vietnam.Rather than specifically work against the agreement, the rice industry is trying to get the Obama administration to make greater use of rice in food aid programs to help spur rice consumption and offset some of the damage that could occur from TPP.Reed discussed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Cuba and other rice industry issues during a presentation at the annual RiceTec Arkansas Field Day at the company’s Arkansas Business Center near Harrisburg in northeast Arkansas.

AIREA All India Rice Exporters Association : Workshop on basmati rice export
08/11/2016 | 08:17am EDT
A
workshop on 'Quality improvement in production of basmati rice for export' was
jointly organised by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, PAU, Amritsar and Department of
Agriculture, Amritsar, at Nag Kalan. This workshop was sponsored by the basmati
Export Development Foundation (BEDF), Modipuram, Meerut, UP. The aim was to
produce good quality basmati so that it fetched more prices in foreign
countries. In all, 250 basmati growers participated. Advocate Rakesh Prashar
advised the farmers to take maximum benefit from the experts of the KVK for
solving field problems. He also advised them to acquire various vocational
training programmes, organised by the KVK from time to time, for getting
regular income from various agricultural enterprises.
Rajen
Sundareshan, Executive Director, All India Rice Exporter Association, New
Delhi, talked about the export of basmati from India to foreign countries. He
also informed about the permissible standards of various residues in basmati
for export to various countries. Dr VP Singh, ex-principal scientist, IARI, New
Delhi, gave tips for successful cultivation of basmati rice for export. Chief
Agriculture Officer Dr Balwinder Singh Chinna talked about scenario of
agriculture in Punjab. Dr GS Deol, consultant, Sir Ratan Tata Trust and former
head, Department of Entomology, PAU, talked about the benefits of integrated
pest management in basmati. Dr Jagmohan Singh, Assistant Professor, Soil
Science, KVK, guided the farmers regarding judicious use of fertilizers in
basmati. -TNS
DA aims for rice sufficiency, uplift fishery sector

The buffer stock will not be used until the next harvest season especially now that times are uncertain due to climate change.“We have to achieve rice sufficiency because we do not know when the next El Niño will strike back,” Piñol said.The country should not rely on importing rice from Vietnam who is currently experiencing shortage in their rice production due to the damming of the Mekong River by China, according to Piñol.
"There might come a time when Vietnam will no longer export rice, hence, we must strive hard to be rice sufficient," reiterates Piñol. He also vowed to uplift the fishery sector by giving one million fishing boats to fishermen all over the country in a period of 5 years.
Furthermore, the secretary informed that in two months time, the department was able to distribute 1,000 fishing boats already.In improving the fishery sector, the DA with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will enforce closed fishing season for small fishes and fingerlings for three months every year and implement measures against illegal fishing.During the closed season, when fishermen only have a few catch, the department will assist and give livelihood opportunities to augment their daily needs.Piñol said the Department of Agriculture aims high in promoting anti-poverty program to poor farmers and fisher folks by not relying only on farming and fishing as their means of living but also trained and equipped them with ideas on how to become entrepreneurs.
In closing, the secretary assured there will be no corruption in the agriculture department and challenged co-workers in government to feel the change and aspiration of President Duterte for all Filipino people to become self-sufficient and productive. (lpp/PIA-7/Negros Oriental)

district | EXPRESS
ROURKELA:
Good rainfall in the last eight days has improved the grim paddy cultivation
scenario in Sundargarh district, which faced scanty rain in June and July.
Although, faulty distribution pattern continues to be a cause of worry for
farmers in some blocks. In the last eight days till Monday, the district
received an average of 136 mm rainfall against the normal of 393.9 mm for
August. Deputy Director of Agriculture, RN Satpathy, however, admitted to the
rainfall distribution being sporadic.Paddy transplantation has picked up momentum in 70 percent (pc) of targeted area. While beusoning (inter-cultural) operation on low land is underway, similar activities on upland and medium land are getting delayed in the absence of adequate water.Inter-cultural operation on 40,000 to 45,000 hectares (ha) of upland and medium land is yet to be done. Satpathy claimed at least one spell of heavy rain is required in the next eight days to boost inter-cultural operation on high land, while it is 15 days for low and medium land. In upland areas facing scanty or sporadic rainfall, farmers have been advised not to wait for rain to take up inter-cultural operation and root out weeds, besides applying fertiliser.
In last eight days, Hemgir and Kutra blocks received heavy rainfall at 260 mm and 279 mm respectively, while Lefripara, Subdega, Rajgangpur, Bonai, Lahunipara and Lathikata blocks got between 146 mm and 164 mm rain. Gurundia, Koida and Balishankara received between 128 mm and 133 mm, while Bisra, Kuanrmunda, Tangarpali and Sundargarh blocks got 70 mm to 87 mm. Bargaon block was lowest with 46 mm followed by Nuagaon block at 65 mm.
On August 1, the district received a total of 559 mm rain with five blocks receiving below 10 mm, six blocks getting 15 mm to 35 mm and two blocks receiving 41 mm to 65 mm. Two blocks got heavy rainfall of 85 mm to 110 mm and there was no rain in Subdega block. In June, the district had received 63 pc deficit rainfall, while in July it was 15 pc

Rice Farmers Bracing for Droughts, Floods
Though the rice-planting season has started and
nationwide rice cultivation this month has been higher than planned, farmers
are worried that adverse weather events caused by climate change will ruin
their crops.According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’
planning and statistics department, the total area planted with rice in
Cambodia reached 2.54 million hectares last week. This, the department said,
was higher than the 2.47 million hectares cultivated during the same period
last year.Takeo is the leading province with 263,106 hectares of land planted
with rice, followed by Battambang and Banteay Meanchey with 258,710 and 244,835
hectares respectively.
But unpredictable weather caused by climate
change, that could disrupt the livelihoods of farmers, is worrying many.Soun
Bovor, provincial governor of Banteay Meanchey, said that even though the rainy
season started a month ago, some parts of the province are still facing
drought.“We have finished planting the rice seedlings, but some areas have not
enough water due to lack of rain. We are worried that the seedlings will die,”
said Mr. Bovor.“We are just praying for favorable weather and more rain,” he
added.
Rice cultivation is sensitive to climate
change, given its high reliance on water for a good crop yield.According to a
report from the UN World Food Program (WFP) changes in rainfall patterns can
increase the likelihood of crop failure and result in production
declines.“Higher temperatures in key producing areas typically result in
reduced yields of desirable crops whilst extreme weather events such as
droughts, floods, and storms can exacerbate food security problems,” added the
report titled “Climate Impacts on Food Security and Livelihoods in Asia”.Den
Sreylin, a rice farmer in Battambang’s Sang Ke district, said she was worried
about low rainfall in the current rainy season.
“Due to the low rainfall, there is not enough
water for all my rice fields,” said Ms. Sreylin who farms in a 2,125-hectare
rice collective with several other farmers in Raingsey commune.But Ms. Sreylin
said she was more worried about flash floods destroying all of her rice
crop.“We can get by with the lack of water. Some of the seedlings will survive
and we will be prepared for a low harvest,” she said. “With flash floods,
however, we will be totally wiped out because it just destroys all the
crop.”Chan Yutha, spokesman for the Ministry of Water Resources and
Meteorology, said floods are forecast to hit the northwestern provinces either
next month or October.
“The flash floods would be caused by heavy rain in Cambodia or from the flow of floodwater from neighboring countries,” said Mr. Yutha.In September 2013, floods affected 17 of Cambodia’s 24 provinces. According to Cambodia’s National Committee for Disaster Management, the floods killed over 200 people, forced the evacuation of more than 34,000 households, and destroyed some 200,000 hectares of rice fields, which comprise nearly 10 percent of the country's harvest.The 2013 floods were similar to the floods in October 2011, killing as many as 250 people and causing over $500 million in damage.

Mr.
Bovor, the Banteay Meanchey provincial governor, said his province had made
emergency preparations to deal with the flash floods.“We are in constant
communication with the ministry [of water resources and meteorology] and are
prepared,” he said.According to the WFP report, large parts of Asia are likely
to experience more frequent and intense floods due to shorter but more intense
rainy seasons.
India's monsoon rains 15 percent above average in past week: weather office

Monsoon
rains in India were 15 percent above average in the week ended Aug. 10, the
weather office said on Thursday.The weather office has retained its forecast
for an above-average monsoon this year, boosting hopes of a rise in farm output
and income after two years of drought.An average or normal monsoon means
rainfall between 96 and 104 percent of a 50-year average of 89 centimeters.
The June-September monsoon is crucial for India's rain-fed farm sector that accounts for nearly 15 percent of its $2 trillion economy.Farmers plant crops such as rice, soybeans, cotton and pulses in the summer-sowing season that starts in June.

Major Kharif crops: current monsoon rains will have positive impact
August 11, 2016
monsoon
rains would have a positive impact over the standing major Kharif crops
including rice, sugarcane, cotton and other minor crops cultivated over large
areas of the country. According to senior officials of the Ministry of Food
National Security and Research (MNS&R) and Ministry of Textiles, production
of major Kharif crops including rice and sugarcane may increase as these crops
require more water relative to other crops.Recent rains would also have a
positive impact on cotton crop but excessive monsoon rains may have a negative
impact, they added. Cotton Commissioner in the Ministry of Textiles Khalid
Abdullah said that recent rains would be beneficial for cotton crop but it will
have negative impact on the crop's production if rains are sustained for a long
period as heavy rains or above normal rainfall causes various diseases in
cotton crop.
He further pointed out that large standing water in cotton crop for more than 24 hours is not good for crop as cotton is water sensitive and stagnant water is fatal for the crop. Cotton sowing in the country registered a significant decline of 15 percent in 2016-17 as compared to last year, he said, adding the crop has been cultivated on 2.86 million hectares of land in the country against its proposed target of 2.9 million hectares for 2016-2017.
In
Punjab, he added that cotton has been cultivated on 1.776 million hectares of
land while in Sindh province, it has been cultivated on 0.063 million hectares
of land. The country witnessed 30 percent decline in cotton production in year
2015-16 due to abnormal weather, seed quality, pests, diseases and low prices.
Cotton is growing mostly in two provinces of the country (Punjab and Sindh)
with the former accounting for 79 percent and the latter 20 percent of the
nation's cotton growing area.
A senior official of MNSF&R said that the
Federal Committee on Agriculture (FCA) had fixed sugarcane crop production
target for 2016-17 at 67.5 million tons from an area of 1.13 million hectares,
compared to last year's production of 65.1 million tons from an area of 1.1
million hectares. The committee fixed rice production target for 2016-17 at 6.9
million tons from an area of 2.8 million hectares, he said. According to
weather advisory issued by Pakistan Metrological Department farmers accessing
water through tube wells are required to schedule irrigation water according to
the expected weather system.
It further advised farmers to control weed
growth at the present growing stage to stop any negative impact on crops. Pest
and viral attacks are expected on cotton and sugarcane crops during hot and
humid conditions. Farmers are also advised to be very careful and take
precautionary measures on time in this regard, it said. The advisory said that
standing water due to heavy monsoon rains is not good for crops like cotton and
farmers should take suitable measures to resolve the issue, it said

NegOcc to get 350,000 bags of rice as buffer stock
Thursday, August 11, 2016
THE
National Food Authority (NFA) in Negros Occidental is expected to get 350,000
bags of rice as buffer stock for August and September this year, its top official
said August 10.Marianito Bejemino, provincial manager of NFA-Negros Occidental,
said the national agency is expected to ship to the province about 120,000 bags
of imported rice this month, and another 120,000 bags in September.Bejemino
said the supply, which will be sourced from Vietnam or Thailand, is the first
imported rice allocation to be transported to Negros Occidental as additional
buffer stock this year.The province is also scheduled to receive some 40,000 bags and 70,000 bags as additional stocks for August and September, respectively, from NFA Western Visayas in Iloilo City.“We want to ensure food security by maintaining rice supply at a comfortable level and also ensure the availability of the P27 per kilo NFA rice in local markets,” Bejemino said.NFA-Negros Occidental records showed that as of August 5, the province has a total inventory of almost 1.8 million bags of rice, which will last for 77 days with its daily average consumption of 22,220 bags.
Of the total inventory, the commercial sector has 1,135,967 bags; household sector, 328,929 bags; and government sector, 281,873 bags.Despite the existing stable supply plus the expected harvest by October, Bejemino said additional stocks are still needed as possible adverse effects of La Niña to local rice production is projected to hit by last quarter of the year.With La Niña, standing crops are vulnerable to huge damage and production losses brought by flooding and typhoons, he added.“Thus, we are making sure that we have sufficient reserve until the end of the year especially during emergency cases,” he added.

DESPITE PH BUY PLAN: Asian rice prices ease
August 12, 2016
HANOI- Asian rice export prices dropped this week on soft demand
among African buyers and rising supply, despite the Philippines’ plan for a
fresh purchase this quarter, traders said.The Philippines, one of the world’s
biggest rice importers, plans to buy 250,000 tons of its food staple from
either Vietnam, Thailand or Cambodia, with deliveries slated within the current
quarter. There’s no clear date for the Manila tender and it’s
uncertain whether bulk of the supply can come from Vietnam, said a trader at a foreign firm in Ho Chi Minh City.“While overall buying demand is weak, so prices are still stable,” the trader said.
uncertain whether bulk of the supply can come from Vietnam, said a trader at a foreign firm in Ho Chi Minh City.“While overall buying demand is weak, so prices are still stable,” the trader said.
The 5-percent broken, summer-autumn rice slipped to $355 a ton, free-on-board (FOB), from $360-$365 a week ago, while 25-percent broken rice, often sought by the Philippines, was unchanged at $335-$340 a ton. Buyers in Africa were waiting for Thailand’s next rice auction, which could offer cheap grain, traders said.Thailand, the world’s second-biggest rice exporter after India, sold 347,500 tons from state stockpiles in two July auctions, or 9 percent of the 3.81 million tons on offer. Another auction is expected this month.
India, Thailand and Vietnam together supply around 60 percent of globally traded rice.Thai benchmark 5-percent broken rice narrowed to $415-$423 a ton, FOB basis, from $410-$432 last Wednesday.“Prices might sink further as supply rises,” a Thai trader said, adding that fresh supply will arrive this month and in September.In India, thin African demand and expectations of a bumper summer crop pushed down prices slightly, traders said.
“Demand from African countries is weak right now and it may remain
subdued for the next few weeks,” said an exporter in Kakinada in the southern
state of Andhra Pradesh, adding that 2016/2017 output could rise on larger
planting area and goodrain.Prices for India’s 5-percent broken parboiled
rice slipped to $380-$390 a ton, FOB basis, from $381-$391 last
week.Indian farmers have planted 28.2 million hectares of rice as of Aug. 5,
above the 27.61 million hectares planted in the same period a year ago

Egypt halts rice exports
August 11, 2016 at 4:33 pm
Egypt
yesterday decided to halt the exportation of all kinds of rice outside the
country this year in order to cover the domestic market’s needs and to keep
prices stable, state television reported.In a meeting yesterday, the Egyptian
Cabinet decided to purchase long grain rice from farmers for 2,300 Egyptian
pounds ($259) per tonne and short grain rice for 2,400 Egyptian pounds ($270)
per tonne.It said it expects to receive up to two million tonnes of rice from
farmers in the coming period.Last month, President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi stressed
that it is necessary to cultivate all the area of land allocated to rice
growing, and to ban the export of rice in order to ensure lower prices for
nationals
Rice straw can be used to make geotextiles
August 11, 2016 9:49 pm
Rice straw can be used to make geo-textiles, a
class of products that is in great demand worldwide and whose market can reach
$8.632 billion by 2019 according to marketsandmarkets.com.Geotextiles are
commonly used for applications such as erosion control on slopes and along roadways.The
most popular raw material for geotextiles is coconut husks, which are waste
products from coconut farms and processing plants. Although the Philippines is
a major supplier of coco coir geotextiles, India and Sri Lanka are the world’s
top producers.
According to the paper “Utilization of Rice
Straw Biomass in the Production of Biodegradable Geotextile” authored by
Rolando Javellonar and Victorino Taylan, the country produces about 18.52
billion kilograms of rice straw annually.“Of this amount, about 95 percent or
17.1 billion kg is left and burned in the field which emits greenhouse gases
that contribute to global warming and climate change,” they added.Javellonar is
a faculty of College of Engineering and Technology, Romblon State University in
Odiongan, Romblon while Taylan is faculty of the College of Engineering,
Central Luzon State University in Munoz, Nueva Ecija.
The researchers prepared rice straw mat using a
binder while rice straw net was prepared by making a straw twine that was
turned into a rope by spinning two twines. Then from the rice straw rope a net
was formed through weaving.
Javellonar and Victorino said their research
showed rice straw mat had higher water absorption capacity at 328.5 percent and
percentage swelling of 17.5 percent compared to rice straw net with only 167.3
percent and 1.8 percent, respectively.However, their testing showed rice straw
net recorded higher tensile strength of 2.0 kN cm-2 when wet and 1.95 kN cm-2
when dry as compared to rice straw mat with 1.08 kN cm-2 when wet and 1.02 kN
cm-2 when dry.
“The observed water absorption capacity of rice
straw mat and rice straw net as well as tensile strength of rice straw net
exceeded the standard generic specification values set by the Department of
Public Works and Highways for geotextile as erosion control material.Hence,
both the developed rice straw geotextiles can be utilized as ground cover for
soil erosion mitigation or an alternate erosion control material in areas where
coco coir net is not available,” the researchers said.The paper of Javellonar
and Taylan was presented during the annual convention of the Philippine Society
of Agricultural Engineers on April 24-30 at the Mariano Marcos state University
in Batac City, Ilocos Norte.
