Indian rice offered lowest in Iraq's 30,000 T tender
·
·
HAMBURG (Reuters) - The lowest price offer received by Iraq’s
state grains buyer in a tender to purchase at least 30,000 tonnes of rice was
$305 a tonne c&f free out for rice to be sourced from India, traders said
on Monday.The traders said they believed the Iraqi buyer had not yet made a
decision in the tender, which closed on Monday with offers having to remain
valid up to Dec. 10.One offer was made for rice from Pakistan at $445 a tonne
c&f free out, they said. The lowest among a series of offers for rice from
Thailand was $459 a tonne c&f free out.One offer was made for rice from the
United States at $667 a tonne c&f free out.Iraq also received single offers
for rice from Argentina at $575 a tonne c&f free out, optionally from
Argentina or Uruguay at $591 a tonne c&f free out, from Paraguay at $569 a
tonne c&f free out and from Vietnam at $573 a tonne c&f free out.In its
last reported rice purchase on Nov. 16, Iraq’s trade ministry said it had
bought 90,000 tonnes of U.S. rice in a direct deal outside the tender process.Iraq’s
cabinet in May authorised the trade ministry to make direct purchases of wheat
and rice to guarantee food security.Iraq had been struggling to import grains
for its food subsidy programme after introducing new payment and quality terms
that kept traders away from its international tenders earlier this year.But
traders said participation in the latest rice tender by international rice
export houses was again at normal levels.
Rice exports hit almost US$2.5 billion
VOV.VN - Vietnam’s rice exports achieved a
great triumph in the 11 months leading up to December as they hit 5.52 million
tons worth US$2.49 billion, up 24.1% in volume and 24.9% in value against the
same period last year.
These
figures are much higher than last year’s total (nearly 4.9 million tons and
US$2.2 billion).
In the first 10 months of this year, Vietnam shipped rice to 132 world markets. China was the largest importer with 40% of the export volume or 2.03 million tons, up 35% over the corresponding period last year. Meanwhile, exports to other markets also witnessed a sharp rise such as the Philippines (up 41.3%), Malaysia (up 97.3%) and Ivory Coast (39.7%).

According
to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 2017 is a successful year for the rice
sector despite the forecast that many countries would implement a self-supply
policy which causes difficulties to rice exporters.
However,
Vietnam’s rice exports obtained a rapid growth after rice production in some
countries were negatively impacted by clime change. Major importers like China,
the Philippines, Malaysia and the Republic of Korea were in great demand and
particularly, new import markets such as Bangladesh and Iraq also helped push
up rice exports.
It is forecast that rice exports
in the last month of the year will reach around 400,000-500,000 tons, bringing
the total export volume to 5.9-6 million tons this year, 1.1-1.2 million tons
higher than last year.
NFA rice
supply in CV good for 9 days

The National Food Authority in Central Visayas
(NFA-7) has limited the distribution of NFA rice supply to accredited retailers
because of the current 9-day NFA rice buffer stock in the region. However,
there is sufficient supply of commercial rice in the region.
CDN PHOTO/JUNJIE MENDOZATHE National Food Authority in Central Visayas (NFA-7) is limiting its distribution of the supply of NFA rice to accredited retailers in the region because the NFA has only a 9-day buffer stock for Central Visayas.
Procopio
Trabajo II, NFA-7 regional director, said that Region 7 has around 305,829 bags
of NFA rice available in their warehouse which is expected to last for 9 days.CDN PHOTO/JUNJIE MENDOZATHE National Food Authority in Central Visayas (NFA-7) is limiting its distribution of the supply of NFA rice to accredited retailers in the region because the NFA has only a 9-day buffer stock for Central Visayas.
NFA rice is a cheaper alternative for commercial rice.
Trabajo said that Central Visayas has an average consumption rate of 33,019 bags of rice per day.
He said that the move to limit the supply to be distributed to the retailers was done to ensure that there would be available stocks of NFA rice during calamities like typhoons, landslides, floodings and earthquakes.
“During calamities, DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) and NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council) are buying rice from us. DepEd (Department of Education) is also purchasing for their feeding programs and BJMP (Bureau of Jail Management and Penology) for their inmates,” Trabajo said.
However, he said that commercial rice available in the market could still last for 17 days with 565,423 bags while household supply available could last for 38 days with 1,241,092 bags of rice.
Overall, according to NFA-7’s Industry Supply Situation report, Central Visayas has 2,112,344 bags of rice available or rice supply that can last for 64 days.
“We’re just thankful that some areas in Central Visayas are corn eaters which lessen the demand for rice in the market, especially in Bohol and Negros and some parts of Cebu. But nonetheless, our supply of rice is good enough,” Trabajo said.
Despite this, the NFA is requesting for an increase in NFA rice allocation for the entire country that will be imported from Vietnam.
He said that the request pending at the NFA Council would involve from 250,000-300,000 metric tons of imported NFA rice for next year.
He said that the NFA-7 is building a new warehouse for the possible increase of rice allocation in the region.
“We hope that this will be approved. Especially that PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) has forecast that in the first quarter of the month, the country might experience a La Niña phenomenon,” he added.
Since Central Visayas is not a rice sufficient region, he said, then this would mean that we would need to import rice from other regions

New rice variety in the spotlight
Cambodia and China will sign an agreement in the near
future to support research on growing a new variety of rice in the kingdom,
according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). The
proposed MoU, which is being negotiated by MAFF and its Chinese counterpart,
will lay down the rules for cooperation between both nations in conducting
studies on the rice variety known as oryza sativa japonica. The ultimate goal
is to grow the crop in the kingdom and export it to China, where demand for the
rice variety is huge.
“The agreement
will help us conduct the research needed to grow japonica rice in Cambodia,”
said Hean Vanhan, director general of MAFF’s general directorate of
agriculture. Mr Vanhan added that, while being a new plant in the kingdom,
japonica rice is very popular in Northern China. “We now only supply the south
of the country. This agreement is an important step forward in helping us
expand our exports to the north of China as well,” he said. The main markets
for japonica rice are China, South Korea, Japan and the European Union,
explained Mr Vanhan, who also added that sending the commodity to the EU is
unlikely as Italy is already a producer of that particular variety.
The MoU will be signed in the next few weeks, said Mr
Vanhan, who failed to provide a more specific date. Demand for Japonica rice
accounts for 20 percent of the total global demand for rice. Because of its
high quality, Japonica rice is often sold at a high price. Song Saran, CEO of
Amru Rice, said his company was also conducting field trials of growing
Japonica rice. “It will take time to finalise the results,” he said, without
going into the details. He said there were also a few other rice producers in
Takeo and Prey Veng provinces conducting field trials.
Price increase in rice observed in local market
It is reported, the price of rice in the local market has increased.
Traders say the price of rice has
been increasing gradually over the past three months.
When News1st visited the local rice
market, it was evident that the price increase has affected local rice products.
President of the Marandagahamula
Rice Traders’ Association, D.K. Ranjith, said the low supply to the market is
the sole reason for the price increase.
A three month drought and
torrential rainfall forced farmers to abandon cultivation for three months.
The Marandagahamula Rice Traders’
Association say, small and medium rice producers do not posses any extra stocks
of rice.
They say, this situation has forced
the closure of around five-hundred small and medium rice mills across the
country.

BCFN Award Recognizes Young Food System Researchers
The Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition (BCFN) announced the winners of the 2017 Young Earth
Solutions (YES!) competition, which
inspires young researchers under 35 to conduct innovative studies to meet
global research needs on the sustainability of food systems. This year, two
teams were selected for the award.
Joana Abou Rizk (University of
Hohenheim, Germany) from Lebanon and Jeremias Theresa (University of Hohenheim,
Germany) from Germany won for their project Maternal and Child
Nutrition Among Refugees and Host Communities in Greater Beirut, Lebanon: A
Focus on Anemia.
The first 1,000 days of life are
the most impactful in a child’s development. Access to adequate amounts of
nutritious food is a growing concern in Lebanon, which has the highest per
capita concentration of refugees in the world. The project studies mother/child
pairs of Syrian refugees and Lebanese host communities to determine the
underlying causes of anemia in these populations and uses sustainable nutrition
education to improve maternal and child nutrition.
“A great path to sustainably
rebuild post-crisis Syria and improve the nutrition situation in Lebanon is by
raising healthy generations from early life,” say Rizk and Theresa.
The second winner is Laura
Garzoli (National Research Council, Institute of Ecosystem Study) from Italy
for her project YES!BAT – Sustainable Rice Fields: Say YES! to Bats. Although rice is a primary staple food, its
production uses pesticides that can place the environment and human health at
risk. The YES!BAT project uses an Integrated Pest Management strategy to
eliminate pesticide use by encouraging bats to roost in rice fields. Bat
colonization is being studied in Piedmont, Italy, and the project will raise
awareness of the importance of bats and the ecological value of traditional
landscapes.
“I truly believe we should
rethink our shared awareness on the close link among food-quality,
environmental sustainability, and life-quality,” says Garzoli.
Winners receive a one-year
research grant to support their projects. All YES! finalists are welcomed into
the BCFN Alumni Association. Together, they act as a global network committed
to sharing experiences and developing an even stronger impact on changing the
food system. Through their own research, work, or business ventures, each of
the BCFN Alumni contributes to a more sustainable food system in their own way
and place.
“Personally, I like to think that
this is only the beginning,” says Francesca Allievi, President of the BCFN YES!
Alumni Network, “I am confident that the BCFN Alumni will be able to achieve
great things, both individually and as a group, and that each of the actions we
are carrying out will be a small yet important contribution to an increased
sustainability of the food system.”
Founded in 2009, the BCFN
Foundation is a private, nonprofit, apolitical institution. Working as a multidisciplinary
and independent think tank, it analyzes the cause-and-effect relationships
economic, scientific, social, and environmental factors have on food. The BCFN
Foundation produces valuable scientific content that can be used to inform and
help people to make conscious choices every day about food and nutrition,
health, and sustainability.

Agriculture in J&K going down fast,
now just 16% of GDP
SRINAGAR: The largest employer and the primary
driver of Jammu and Kashmir’s economy — agriculture — continues to be in
decline. Over the past decade, its contribution to the state’s gross domestic
product (GDP) has fallen by 8 percent.
According to the Draft Srinagar Master Plan 2035, the share of agriculture has dipped from 28 percent to 16 percent, while industries (secondary sector) has stayed stagnant at 43 percent and the share of services (tertiary sector) has gone up to 57 percent in the past ten years.
Agriculture, which has been categorised as the weakest contributor in the draft master plan, provides employment to about 60 percent of the population, followed by the industries and services sectors. This has led to disparity between the average income of agriculturists and of non-agriculturists, which has been increasing since long and has made the major part of the population poorer.
“It is a point of concern,” says the draft master plan. “That the combined contribution from primary and secondary sectors is becoming less than the lone contribution from service sector, is a very unhealthy condition for sustaining growth in the long run.”
The decline has primarily been triggered by the conversion of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, the document says. About 8.47 lakh hectare of agriculture land in 2005-06 has shrunk to 7.94 lakh hectare in 2015-16, as per the government figures.
A major casualty has been Kashmir’s staple food rice. Imports of rice from various Indian states have quadrupled in the past seven decades. About 21.70 percent is the deficit of rice production in the state at present.
Illiteracy, insufficient government support, unavailability of power, inadequate marketing facilities, and underpricing of agricultural products are the main reasons for the decline in agriculture sector, as per the draft master plan.
The draft has also attributed the dip to the lowest average land holding in the country, and laggard approach towards modern technology and agricultural practices. As per the document, the average size of farms is very small and approximately 90% of land holdings are of the size of 2-4 kanals, which results in low productivity.
“The sector has not adopted modern technology and agricultural practices to a larger extent. Also decline in plan allocations investment and investment credit are contributing factors,” the document adds.
