MAY 11, 2018
High level representatives from the Belgian government, office
bearers of chambers of commerce and industry and leading businessmen from
Pakistan, top European businessmen and Member of European Parliament Amjad
Bashir were also present on the occasion.
In her opening remarks, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Belgium, the
European Union and Luxembourg Naghmana Alamgir Hashmi welcomed the delegates
and highlighted huge potential of trade and investment between Pakistan and
Belgium.
She said that Belgium being Pakistan’s 10th largest export
destination worldwide and 7th in Europe remains highly important for Pakistani
business community. She pointed out that since 2013 bilateral trade between the
two countries has increased by 38.07 percent.
Ambassador Hashmi underscored the need of diversifying exports
from Pakistan. She pointed out that various areas still remained untapped and
there was a need to work in the direction to identify how the two countries
could benefit by exploring the areas where there were still gaps to be filled.
Member European Parliament Amjad Bashir appreciated Pakistani
diaspora for running successful businesses in the UK and Europe. He added that
by living in Europe they have huge advantage to invest in the country of their
origin. He also pointed out that geo-strategic location of Belgium was a huge
advantage for trade and commerce between Pakistan and European countries.
President Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce Zahid Latif Khan told
Daily Times that the conference was third event of the series and the first two
were organised in Birmingham and Doha respectively.
He further mentioned that the event was a success although he
could not manage to bring many members from RCCI to Brussels due to visa
hurdles. He said that chamber has engaged Pakistani embassy to work on another
meetup with European business partners also making it sure that the delegation
can bring more businessmen in the next meeting.
The RCCI president mentioned that Pakistan still remains one of
the key producers of textile, sports gear, surgical equipment and dairy. “A
number of companies have showed interest in doing business in the fields of
pharmaceutical, data management and dairy products apart from talking about
investing in energy sector such as wind energy and also in areas connected to
the CPEC project,” Khan said.
He said that he has also met few of the biggest meat importers
in Europe and aims to connect them with Fauji Foundation in Pakistan to get
Pakistani meat, hides, dairy and related products exported to Europe as
Pakistan remains fourth biggest producer of milk in the world.
Khan said that Pakistani rice growers have got a unique
opportunity to stage a comeback into the rice export arena after Indian
exporters, many of those who are also exporting Pakistani rice with Indian
titles, got banned by EU due to some technical hitch or failure. He said that
he would talk to the relevant businessmen on the issue once he’s back home.
He also told the conference that RCCI being the third largest
chamber in Pakistan has become the voice of Pakistani business community all
over the world. Keeping in view the vital role of women in development of any
country, RCCI has also introduced an incubation centre for businesses being run
by women.
Presentations were also made by the President Pakistan-Belgian
Business Forum Paul Scheynen, Secretary General of Brussels Enterprises
Commerce and Industry (BECI) Jan De Brabanter, President World Federation of
Investors Jean-Pierre Paelinck, Director Trade Walloonia Exports and Investment
Agency (AWEX) Isabelle and Shimail Daud Arain of Maryam Memorial Hospital,
covering various aspects of business and investment potential between the two
countries. Two documentaries on Pakistan and its business potential were also
screened on the occasion.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the RCCI and
Brussels Enterprises Commerce and Industry with a view to bring business
community of two countries closer and promote trade and commerce among them.
Belgium is an important trading partner for Pakistan in Europe,
as it follows the common Trade Policy adopted by the European Union. The grant
of GSP+ status to Pakistan by the EU allows zero tariffs concession on 66% of
Pakistan’s products in the member countries of European Union including
Belgium.

Rice farming as agribusiness
I was invited on April 27 to
present a paper on making Pampanga a leading agro-industrial hub anchored on
agripreneurship at the RiceUp Bayanihan Conference 2018 in Lubao, Pampanga
Rice farming as agribusiness
DR. WILLIAM DAR
From the conference, I learned that the non-government organization
called RiceUp has been operating in parts of Pampanga to help rice farmers in
the province to increase their yields. Also involved are faith-based
organizations like the Latter Day Saints who are also in a mission to reduce
poverty among poor households in Pampanga.
During the conference, there were discussions on e-commerce,
digital agriculture, and rice future that I believe should be applied in the
Philippine rice industry. RiceUp is currently operating in Lubao, Pampanga and
surrounding towns in the district, represented by former president Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo in the House of Representatives.
I am glad that there are efforts like RiceUp, because the
potential of the local rice industry can be unlocked.
Also, increasing palay (unmilled rice) yields from the current 4
to 5 metric tons per hectare to about 6 to 7 MT per hectare is doable if more
improved hybrid varieties are used, accessible and affordable credit is
provided, good agricultural practices are put into place, and farm
mechanization is intensified.
Eventually, a more vigorous rice economy could help increase the
growth of the country’s agriculture sector, which registered a 3.9-percent
growth in 2017. The consensus among experts is the country’s agriculture sector
– comprising farming, fisheries, and forestry – must grow between 4 to 6
percent over the long term to substantially reduce poverty in the countryside.
So last year’s 3.9-percent growth of the country’s agriculture sector is a very
encouraging sign.
However, based on latest reports from the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), the country’s agriculture sector recorded a sluggish 1.47
percent growth in the first quarter of this year. Also, palay output went up by
4.61 percent to 4.62 million MT compared to the 12.38-percent growth a year
ago.
Much needs to be done in leveling up the country’s rice industry.
I would rather call it rice industry because there is a need to reorient
smallholder farmers planting the crop that they are also in a business, and not
just planting a commodity for the sake of securing the country’s food needs.
So what is the way forward for the country’s rice industry?
Rice farming as agribusiness
Firstly, we should all view the country’s sector that is producing
rice as an industry, and that means rice farming should also be profitable
especially for the smallholder farmer.
Achieving profitability in the rice industry will need collective
action among smallholder farmers, meaning they should organize themselves into
cooperatives so they can go into block farming to achieve economies of scale,
buy farm machines including milling facilities, and have bargaining power in
the trading of rice.
Lending institutions also prefer extending loans to cooperatives
than to individual smallholder farmers.
Cooperatives should also be given training in the areas of
financial and asset management, accounting, human resources management,
logistics, and marketing/trading. For sure, the numerous state colleges and
universities in the country have capability to take the lead in this
initiative.
When it comes to increasing yields, there is no doubt that hybrids
have proven their worth and companies like SL Agritech and the Philippine Rice
Research Institute (PhilRice) have developed a number of hybrid varieties that
also can withstand drought and flooding. Hybrid varieties that were developed
locally have yields between 6 to 9 MT/ha.
In the area of mechanization, I must say that the 1.2 horsepower
per hectare estimate in 2016 must be increased to levels similar to China and
South Korea, or 4 hp/ha. Mechanization, besides increasing efficiency in
on-field operations, takes out the drudgery in farming that can help attract
more young blood in the agriculture sector.
Again, I must emphasize that the average age of the smallholder Filipino
farmer is about 60 years old, and steps like dramatically increasing the level
of mechanization in our farms is one good step in getting more of the youth in
farming.
The issue of irrigation should also be addressed, and as I have
said in my column on June 9, 2017 (Agriculture’s water problems can become too
big) that the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) should be returned to
the fold of the Department of Agriculture (DA). More important, the NIA should
triple its effort to cover least 96,000 hectares of the irrigable lands each
year to place them under the national irrigation system.
The Bureau of Water and Soils Management (BSWM) under the DA, on
the other hand, should increase by 1,000 percent or 10 times its budget to
build more small water impounding projects.
Pampanga can take lead
RiceUp’s efforts in Lubao can be expanded and become part of the
program of the Pampanga provincial government to make the province a leading
agro-industrial hub in the country.
In March, I was tapped by the Pampanga State Agricultural
University (PSAU) to help them in assisting the Pampanga provincial government
to develop a framework for modernizing the province’s agriculture sector. So I
thank anew Gov. Lilia Pineda of Pampanga and PSAU president Honorio Soriano,
Jr. for giving me the opportunity to share my knowledge on how to make the
province a leading agro-industrial hub.
Pampanga currently ranks at 10th when it comes to the Human
Development Index based on the Philippine Human Development Report by the Human
Development Network, 2012/2013, which means its citizens have access to good
education that can be a major factor in helping the province achieve its status
as a leading agro-industrial hub in Central Luzon and the Philippines in the
future. I know that this is also a vision of former president Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo.
The province also has good logistics support in the form of a
fully functioning seaport and distribution center, and an international
airport. Pampanga is also easily accessible through the national highway and
three expressways: Northern Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic–Clark–Tarlac
Expressway (SCTEX), and Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway (TPLEX). Pampanga
hosts the Clark International Airport and has access to the Subic Bay International
Airport through the SCTEX.
According to Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-CountrySTAT,
Pampanga’s share in national palay production in 2017 was 2.2 percent and 11.8
percent of Central Luzon’s, with 429,206 MT.
While Pampanga’s cannot become the leading rice producing province
in the Philippines when it comes to volume, it can become the frontrunner in
terms of turning rice as an industry and having high yields per hectare, and
that can be achieved by modernizing its agriculture sector. And RiceUp’s
efforts will definitely create an impact on the province’s rice industry in the
next few years.
So can Pampanga become a model for the country’s rice industry? I
am very optimistic.

Weed management
holds key to boost food production by 22 pc
UNB NEWS
Saturday 12 May, 2018 04:00:21 pm
Dhaka, May 12 (UNB) – Yields of
food crops can potentially be increased up to 22 percent provided proper weed
management is put in place.
Experts said this at the 6th
conference of Weed Science Society of Bangladesh (WSSB) held at Bangladesh Rice
Research Institute (BRRI) in Gazipur on Saturday, said a press release.
“Proper implementation of
eco-friendly, sustainable and integrated weed management in field crops can
increase 18-22% yield in national level, which can contribute in total food
production of Bangladesh,” stated the BRRI release.
Weed competes with crops for light,
nutrients and water thereby resulting yield loss of field crops up to 80-90
percent in worst cases. In Bangladesh improper weeding causes yield loss that
range in between 40 to 50 percent in rice, 24 to 58 percent in wheat, almost 49
percent in maize, 43 percent in potato, 20 percent in sugarcane, 75-80 percent
in jute, nine percent in tea and 25 to 60 percent in other crops.
In current practice farmers usually
do weeding by hand, hoe, mechanical weeder and chemical weeding with herbicide.
Hand weeding in field crops is costly, need more money and time consuming. Mechanical
weed control is not so much popular due to its unavailability and
effectiveness, said the press release.
In case of hand weeding it needs Tk
10,000 to 18,000 per hectare depending on crops. Now farmers are more
interested in chemical weed control with herbicide, said the BRRI release
adding that herbicide adoption is increasing day by day due to its quick
effectiveness and low cost.
But improper herbicide application
may cause environmental hazards and may disturb field ecosystem, weed management
experts feared at the conference attended by 400 researchers from
different organizations, NGOs and agricultural universities.
Dr Md Giash Uddin Mian,
vice-chancellor of BSMRAU was present as the chief guest while the
special guests were Dr Abul Kalam Azad, Director General of BARI, Dr Md
Ansar Ali, Director (Administration and Common Service) of BRRI,
Dr F H Ansarey, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ACI Ltd.
WSSB General Secretary and Senior
Scientific Officer of BRRI Agronomy Division Dr Md Khairul Alam Bhuiyan
presented the keynote paper.
In this conference about 19
scientific papers from different research organizations were presented. They
discussed about developing innovative approaches, economic and eco-friendly
weed management technologies to address challenges ahead for sustainable
agriculture and other social benefits. From the research papers it was observed
that crop yield could be increased significantly if proper weed management
could be done with integrated approach.
They suggested that, in future
emphasis should be given on mechanical and biological weed control. Researchers
concluded that low cost weed control measure should be adopted to increase
economic gain. Herbicide should be applied in proper time and dose and
advanced level research should be carried out about the impact of different
groups of herbicide in crop-soil-system.
In this conference a future
research programme was undertaken for eco-friendly and sustainable weed
management practices that will impact total food production and sustainable
development goals in Bangladesh.

Weed management
holds key to boost food production by 22 pc
UNB NEWS
Saturday 12 May, 2018 04:00:21 pm
Dhaka, May 12 (UNB) – Yields of
food crops can potentially be increased up to 22 percent provided proper weed
management is put in place.
Experts said this at the 6th
conference of Weed Science Society of Bangladesh (WSSB) held at Bangladesh Rice
Research Institute (BRRI) in Gazipur on Saturday, said a press release.
“Proper implementation of
eco-friendly, sustainable and integrated weed management in field crops can
increase 18-22% yield in national level, which can contribute in total food
production of Bangladesh,” stated the BRRI release.
Weed competes with crops for light,
nutrients and water thereby resulting yield loss of field crops up to 80-90
percent in worst cases. In Bangladesh improper weeding causes yield loss that
range in between 40 to 50 percent in rice, 24 to 58 percent in wheat, almost 49
percent in maize, 43 percent in potato, 20 percent in sugarcane, 75-80 percent in
jute, nine percent in tea and 25 to 60 percent in other crops.
In current practice farmers usually
do weeding by hand, hoe, mechanical weeder and chemical weeding with herbicide.
Hand weeding in field crops is costly, need more money and time consuming.
Mechanical weed control is not so much popular due to its unavailability and
effectiveness, said the press release.
In case of hand weeding it needs Tk
10,000 to 18,000 per hectare depending on crops. Now farmers are more
interested in chemical weed control with herbicide, said the BRRI release
adding that herbicide adoption is increasing day by day due to its quick
effectiveness and low cost.
But improper herbicide application
may cause environmental hazards and may disturb field ecosystem, weed management
experts feared at the conference attended by 400 researchers from
different organizations, NGOs and agricultural universities.
Dr Md Giash Uddin Mian,
vice-chancellor of BSMRAU was present as the chief guest while the
special guests were Dr Abul Kalam Azad, Director General of BARI, Dr Md
Ansar Ali, Director (Administration and Common Service) of BRRI,
Dr F H Ansarey, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ACI Ltd.
WSSB General Secretary and Senior
Scientific Officer of BRRI Agronomy Division Dr Md Khairul Alam Bhuiyan
presented the keynote paper.
In this conference about 19
scientific papers from different research organizations were presented. They
discussed about developing innovative approaches, economic and eco-friendly
weed management technologies to address challenges ahead for sustainable
agriculture and other social benefits. From the research papers it was observed
that crop yield could be increased significantly if proper weed management
could be done with integrated approach.
They suggested that, in future
emphasis should be given on mechanical and biological weed control. Researchers
concluded that low cost weed control measure should be adopted to increase
economic gain. Herbicide should be applied in proper time and dose and
advanced level research should be carried out about the impact of different
groups of herbicide in crop-soil-system.
In this conference a future
research programme was undertaken for eco-friendly and sustainable weed
management practices that will impact total food production and sustainable
development goals in Bangladesh.

Proper protection for traditional rice
varieties
Saturday, May 12, 2018
INDIGENOUS people (IP) living in
Sarangani have tapped the assistance of the Philippine Rice Research Institute
(PhilRice) to protect their traditional rice varieties (TRVs).Because Sarangani
is one of the areas that are most vulnerable to drought, preserving the seeds
is important in breeding new climate-change ready seeds for the area.
B’laan, Tagakaolo, T’boli,
Manobo, Ubo, and Kalagan tribes live in the upland areas of Sarangani where
most of the TVRs are planted.Starting this year, the locals and the Genetic
Resources team of PhilRice will start to collect, conserve, survey, and
document the varieties under a project titled “Conservation of Sarangani
Traditional Rice Germplasm (SaTRice).”
The team will also evaluate the
grain quality, level of resistance to pest and diseases, and level of tolerance
to drought or submergence stress.The TRVs have a good resistance to pests and
drought. TRVs also produce good yield even without fertilizer and pesticide
intervention.It can be noted that Sarangani has no record whatsoever of
germplasm collection at the PhilRice Genebank.
Germplasm are genetic materials
used for breeding new rice varieties.Results from identifying and testing the
TRVs will be used to recommend the best variety suited in the province. The
high quality TRVs will be stored at the PhilRice Genebank, which houses more
than 5,000 Philippine TRVs and more than 16,000 germplasm collections.
Based on the study conducted by
Mindanao State University-GenSan, 107 TRVs with unique traits were identified
in the area. Comprehensive data on morphological and molecular profiles of TRVs
are expected to be gathered, specifically those that pertain to size, shape,
and structure of seed components.
Farmers, mostly IPs, can also
utilize these data in adding value/price to their varieties if they decided to
commercialize it. Other than conservation and characterization, the project
also aims to establish and strengthen community-based seed banks for IP
communities.In a related development about the precious grain, PhilRice is also
developing an Android application from a four-stripped “ruler” called Leaf
Color Chart (LCC), which is used in assessing nitrogen status of the rice
plant.
The handy diagnostic tool, which
identifies the nutrient deficiency through colors ranging from yellow green to
dark green, helps farmers save one to two sacks of nitrogen for every hectare. Nitrogen
is an essential rice plant nutrient for growth and improves grain yield and
quality. A mobile app is now in the pipeline, whichis expected to generate
nitrogen recommendations from the digital images of rice leaves taken directly
from the field.
Through a smartphone’s camera,
nitrogen levels of rice plants can be measured from a digital photo of its
leaves, which is strongly correlated with actual leaf nitrogen concentrations.
The app measures the intensity of
green color based on the captured leaf images and converts this into values
correlated with the amount of nitrogen in the leaf.
The app is more accurate than the
LCC because the assessment of the leaf color will no longer be based on the
perception of users, which may vary from person to person. (jaypeeyap@ymail.com/PN)

Arsenic and rice: what you need to
know
May 11, 2018 by
Len Canter, Healthday Reporter
(HealthDay)—There's a danger
lurking in rice and you won't find it by reading labels. It's the chemical
arsenic.
And the threat isn't about
immediate poisoning but rather that long-term exposure to small amounts can
increase the risk of bladder, lung and skin cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
Arsenic naturally finds its way
into our soil and water because it's in the Earth's crust, but it also
accumulates from some pesticides and fertilizers.
Rice tends to absorb arsenic more
readily than many other plants. Most unfortunate is that brown rice has the highest amounts because the arsenic accumulates in
the otherwise healthful outer layers, which are removed to make white rice.
You don't have to eliminate all
rice from your diet, but choose it carefully, suggests the watchdog group
Consumer Reports. Their testing found that arsenic levels differ depending on the types of rice and where they were
cultivated.
Here are some tips to limit your
rice intake:
·
Choose white basmati and
brown basmati rice cultivated in California, India and Pakistan, and sushi rice
cultivated in the United States.
·
Vary your whole grains
to minimize arsenic exposure—try whole wheat, amaranth, buckwheat, millet,
polenta and grits.
·
Carefully read the
labels of all food products: Rice, rice flour or brown rice syrup
are in everything from gluten-free foods to teething biscuits.
High concentrations of arsenic in rice-based
foods given to babies and children
have led to recommendations to not give them rice drinks and to limit the
number of servings of rice cereal. According to Consumer Reports, just one
serving of rice cakes has close to a child's weekly limit, and one serving of
rice cereal and rice pasta could put kids over the maximum amount.
More information: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has a position
statement on arsenic in rice and more guidelines to limit exposure in infants.

Rice exports up 27pc to $1.57bln in Jul-Aprrts up
Rice exports rose 27 percent to
$1.57 billion during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year as
exporters pushed fresh cargoes to Indonesia, Kenya and other markets during the
period, an industry official said on Wednesday.
Rice exports amounted to $1.23
billion during the corresponding period last year.
Rafique Suleman, senior vice
chairman of Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (Reap) said exports
increased 15 percent to 3.22 million tons during the 10 months of the current
fiscal year of 2017/18.
Suleman said exports of
non-basmati rice to Indonesia increased during the period.
Local traders exported 50,000
tons of non-basmati rice to Indonesia during the July-April period. Kenya
remained the largest buyer of Pakistani non-basmati rice, buying 323,000 tons
of rice amounting to $118 million.
China was also one of the largest
importers of Pakistani non-basmati rice. “By the end of April, we exported
274,000 tons of rice valuing $100 million (to China),” Suleman said.
He said demand for rice in the
international market is increasing. The crop was good in terms of both quality
and quantity this year, he added.
Reap senior vice chairman said
the country has come out of the crisis of low exports, which was observed
during the last three years.
“Value of rice export trade has
been showing improvement due to the coordination of Reap office bearers with
the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan and customs,” he said. “Reap
members are putting in untiring efforts, and aggressive marketing to increase
rice exports and to earn valuable foreign exchange.”
The industry official said rice
exporters are making investments to install modern rice processing machinery
and using value-addition technology.
Around 100,000 tons of rice has
so far been exported to the neighbouring country during the current season.
Suleman said Government Trading
Corporation of Iran has issued tenders for 20,000 tons of basmati, in which
many Pakistani rice exporting companies would participate. He hoped that a
handsome amount of foreign exchange would be fetched by Pakistani rice
exporters.
Total rice inventory rises from last month’s level to 2.18 M MT
Updated May 11, 2018, 10:42 PM
By Madelaine B. Miraflor
While the government still unable
to refill its warehouses with cheap, subsidized rice, private traders across
the country were able to boost their stocks, sending the country’s total rice
inventory at a higher level in April compared to previous month.A data that
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) released on Thursday showed that as of
April 1, 2018, the country’s total rice stocks inventory was estimated at 2.18
million metric tons (MT).
This was 18.42 percent below last
year’s inventory level of 2.68 million MT, but 28.59 percent higher than the
previous month’s record of 1.69 million MT.
And then relative to March’s
record, both stocks inventory level in households and in commercial warehouses
actually grew by 25.04 percent and 43.56 percent, respectively.
Meanwhile, a drop in stocks level
was still observed in state-run grains agency National Food Authority’s (NFA)
depositories by 71.89 percent.
Of the current rice stock level, around
63.04 percent were from the households, 36.39 percent from commercial
warehouses, and 0.56 percent from NFA depositories. The latter comprised about
79.69 percent of the imported rice.
Comparisons with last year’s rice
stock levels showed a decrease of 4.50 percent in the households, 12.45 percent
in commercial warehouses, and 96.26 percent in NFA depositories.
Right now, the NFA is trying to
fast-track the importation of 250,000 MT of rice through an open tender scheme,
which will be on top of the 250,000 MT worth of supply that the governments of
Thailand and Vietnam are supposed to ship to us starting this month.
A separate report showed that
during the first three months of the year, the country’s palay production grew
by 4.61 percent this year. In Cagayan Valley, there were reports of early
harvest from the second quarter to the first quarter as a result of higher
trading price.
Most regions also had expansion
in harvest areas because of the usage of high yielding varieties of seeds from
the Rice Program Model Farm of the Department of Agriculture (DA), adequate
irrigation water supply and sufficient rainfall during the planting period.
The increases in area harvested
were also attributed to the financial assistance from the DA and Local
Government Units (LGUs) such as the Production Loan Easy Access (PLEA), Special
Assistance for Agricultural Development (SAAD) and Bottom-Up Budgeting Program
(BUB) in MIMAROPA, Davao Region and SOCCSKSARGEN.
Meanwhile, the price of palay
continued its uptrend with this year’s 10.19 percent increment due to higher
buying price from traders.
Rice
basmati softens on muted demand
New Delhi, May
12 () Rice basmati prices went down by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale
grains market today owing to slackened demand. However, wheat edged up on
increased offtake by flour mills. Traders said, besides easing demand from
stockists, adequate stocks position on increased arrivals from producing belts
mainly weighed on the rice basmati prices. Increased offtake by flour mills,
however helped wheat prices to trade higher, they said. In the national
capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121 variety fell by Rs 100 each to Rs
7,000-7,100 and Rs 6,300-6,400 per quintal, respectively. Non-basmati rice

2,375-2,400, Rs 2,475-2,525, Rs 3,050-3,150 and Rs 2,025-2,075 per quintal,
respectively in line with rice basmati trend. On the other hand, wheat dara
(for mills) rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,760-1,765 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery
followed suit and enquired higher by a similar margin to Rs 1,765-1,770 per 90
kg. Atta flour mills also edged up by Rs 10 to Rs 940-950 per 50 kg. Following
are today's quotations (in Rs per quintal): Wheat MP (desi) Rs 2,060-2,260,

Sri Lanka exports 5.5-pct in Feb, imports strengthen
May 12, 2018 04:49 AM GMT+0530 |
Vietnamese rice prices soar to near 4-year high
FCI told to
provide more storage for boiled rice in TS
ARLINGTON, VA -- The rice pretender war is heating up
this spring as USA Rice is registering formal complaints and offering
recommended fixes to purveyors of what the trade group terms "rice
pretenders."
"Rice pretenders are food products that are marketed as rice, but contain no rice at all," explained Paul Galvani, chairman of the USA Rice Domestic Promotion Committee that is spearheading this effort for the industry. "They are typically vegetable crumbles made to loosely resemble rice - which is fine. What is not fine, is marketing these products as rice in an attempt to get one more sale by misleading or confusing consumers"
USA Rice sent formal complaints to several major supermarket chains; B&G Foods, owner of the Green Giant brand; and web-based recipe sites Yummly.com and Delish.com.
"We believe the way these 'rice pretenders' are being marketed, packaged, displayed, and sold trades on the good name, solid nutritional profile, and outstanding environmental record of U.S.-grown rice, intentionally creating consumer confusion that is doing harm to the U.S. rice industry," the letters to the retail sector reads.
The letter goes on to suggest the products should be called "crumbles," "minced," or "chopped," and be moved to the produce section where consumers would expect to find vegetables.
USA Rice has been tracking these products for some time and first brought their concerns to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) last year.
"We told them quite plainly that rice is a grain, not a shape, and we urged FDA to adopt a standard of identity for rice," Galvani said. "The agencies agree with us on the merits but we have yet to see any formal action from them. It could be as simple as FDA stating that they agree with the internationally scientific accepted definition of rice - 'whole or broken kernels from the Oryza sativa L. plant.'"
Earlier this year, the state of Arkansas, the number one rice-producing U.S. state, adopted a resolution that encourages the state and federal government to adopt a standard of identity for rice and offers a roadmap that could lead to enforceable regulations (see USA Rice Daily, March 21, 2018).
"When I discussed this issue with Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue last November he told me that when he says 'rice' he knows just what he is thinking of - and it's real rice. That's good, but as more of these pretenders keep popping up in the marketplace, 'knowing' isn't enough anymore. We need to clearly define and protect," said Klein, USA Rice vice president of domestic promotion who signed the letters.
Klein said all of the letters acknowledge the important role recipe developers, retail outlets, and food manufacturers play in advancing U.S.-grown rice with consumers, but the letter requests accountability, transparency, and that steps be taken to avoid consumer confusion.
"We believe there is room in shopping carts for all of us, and while we recognize you have an obligation to sell products your customers want, and consumers should be allowed to purchase the food they desire - even rice pretender products - we want to ensure these choices are not made in error," the letter says.
Klein said his industry will continue to press the government for enforceable standards and monitor the marketplace and call out companies misusing the word "rice," and he asks for the public to send him examples they come across - of both proper and improper use of the word.
"I think there is a growing frustration amongst consumers
who are tired of marketers trying to trick them," said Galvani.
"It doesn't strike me as a particularly good strategy to market your
product that contains zero rice as a rice dish simply because you know how popular
rice is. Words matter and it's going to catch up with you. If
you're proud of your cauliflower crumbles, shout it from the rooftops - but
don't shout my product's name and then sell the gathering crowd yours."

Sri Lanka exports 5.5-pct in Feb, imports strengthen
May 12, 2018 04:49 AM GMT+0530 |
ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka's exports
grew 5.5 percent from a year earlier to 915.7 million US dollars in February
2018, while imports grew 22.8 percent to 1.97 billion US dollars, pointing to
an economic recovery.
Sri Lanka has more imports than exports because, people in the country earn dollars from remittances and tourism which tends to widen the trade deficit, without putting pressure on the currency.
Meanwhile foreign direct investment, foreign investments in the stock market and bonds and government borrowings abroad, when spent within the domestic economy will also widen the trade gap, generating a deficit in the current account.
However if the central bank prints money, domestic spending will exceed all inflows, and the rupee will tend to fall, even if there are large inflows.
Industrial exports grew 6.6 percent to 703.2 million US dollars, with textiles and apparel growing 2.8 percent to 407 million US dollars. Rubber products grew 5.4 percent to 68.3 million US dollars.
Agricultural exports grew 0.6 percent to 206.1 million US dollars with tea up 3.8 percent to 118.2 million US dollars, while rubber and coconut fell. Seafood exports grew 3.9 percent to 19.5 million US dollars.
Petroleum re-exports rose 56.7 percent to 67.2 million US dollars.
Data also showed that gold imports rose to 111.9 million US dollars, indicating they were probably re-exported as well to India unofficially for a hefty profit, though the numbers are not captured officially.
The finance ministry has since slapped a 15 percent tax on gold, showing the strong ideology of Mercantilism that grips Sri Lanka's authorities and the weak grasp of economics.
Rice imports fell 34 percent to 23.5 million US dollars as domestic harvests came in. But consumer goods rose 28.7 percent probably pointing to an overall recovery in people's incomes.
Non-food consumer goods rose 41.7 percent to 276.5 million US dollars, with vehicle imports rising 117 percent to 121.5 million US dollars.
Home appliances rose 26.4 percent to 28.4 million US dollars.
Intermediate goods imports rose 20.8 percent to 1,096.3 million US dollars with fuel imports down 11.1 percent to 315.2 million US dollars.
Fertilizer imports soared 126 percent to 20.3 million US dollars. Investment goods rose 5.6 percent to 380.5 million US dollars.
The trade gap in February widened to 1,072 million US dollars from 743 million dollars a year earlier. Tourism earnings were estimated at 437 million US dollars.
In the first two months, exports grew 8.6 percent to 1,881 million US dollars, imports grew 17.1 percent to 3,992 million US dollars and the trade balance expanded to 2.11 billion US dollars from 1.68 billion US dollars. (Colombo/May11/2018)

Vietnamese rice prices soar to near 4-year high
11.05.2018
Export prices for rice surged to a near four-year high in
Vietnam this week due to strong demand, while slow buying interest put pressure
on prices of Indian rice. The threat of floods also raised the prospect of
Bangladesh stepping up purchases.Vietnam's 5% broken rice prices rose to
US$455-$460 a tonne, their highest since August 2014, versus $445-$450 last
week."Prices continue to rise on stronger demand and tight supplies,"
a Ho Chi Minh City-based trader said.
"The Philippines is expected to purchase another 250,000
tonnes in an open tender on May 22, after accepting 250,000-tonne offers from
Vietnam and Thailand last week."Vietnam exported 721,379 metric tonnes of
rice in April, up 9.5% from March, according to the government's official
customs data.For the first four months of 2018, Vietnam's exports totalled 2.2
million tonnes, an increase of 24.3% from a year earlier, the General
Department of Customs said.Rice export revenue in the January-April period rose
40.3% to $1.1 billion.In Thailand, prices of 5% broken rice rose slightly to
$435-$445 a tonne, free on board (FOB) Bangkok, from $430-$445 last week, with
traders attributing this to a deal with Philippines struck last week to supply
120,000 tonnes.Demand is still slow as the country expects ample supply from
the harvest around the end of May or early June, traders said.Last week
Thailand increased its rice export goal this year to 10 million tonnes, up from
9.5 million tonnes previously.The Thai Commerce Ministry last week said the
country had exported 3.31 million tonnes of rice from the beginning of the year
until mid-April, more than India and top competitor Vietnam.Prices for top
exporter India's 5% broken parboiled variety fell by $5 to $407-$411 per
tonne."Rupee depreciation is helping exporters to reduce prices.
Demand is also weak from Bangladesh and Africa," said an exporter based at Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.The rupee has fallen more than 5% so far in 2018, increasing exporters' margins from overseas sales.Meanwhile, the country's neighbour, Bangladesh, which emerged as a major buyer in 2017 after flood damage to crops, may require hefty imports as floods could hit the country again this year and pose a threat to crops, weather department officials said.Pre-monsoon rains, coupled with thunderstorms, are also hampering the harvesting of summer rice crops, according to officials from the Department of Agriculture Extension.
Imports into Bangladesh were initially expected to slow due to a good summer crop

FCI told to
provide more storage for boiled rice in TS
AddThis Sharing Buttons
Hyderabad:Civil Supplies Commissioner Akun Sabharwal urged the Food
Corporation of India (FCI) to earmark storage spaces for storing boiled rice
and also have the rice unloaded in godowns.During a review meeting with FCI
officials at the Civil Supplies office on Friday, Sabarwal asked the
corporation to increase the number of godowns to meet the demand. He told the
officials to focus on storage issues reported in Nizamabad and Kamareddy
districts.
He said they kept a target of 39.1
lakh metric tonnes of paddy procurement, and to achieve this millers need to
hand over 23.93 lakh metric tonnes of boiled rice. For this, storage space of
11 lakh metric tonnes to 12 lakh metric tonnes will be required. He requested
FCI to provide it.
If every rice mill hands over 40
metric tonnes to FCI, the target can be reached, said Sabarwal, adding that

FPCCI
Brand of the Year awards ceremony today
KARACHI
(INP): Federal Minister for Finance Dr Miftah Ismail will be the chief guest of
the Brand of the Year awards distribution ceremony of Federation of Pakistan
Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) to be held at Grand Convention
Marquee here on Saturday (today). Senior vice president (SVP) of FPCCI, Syed
Mazhar Ali Nasir informed that this year the FPCCI will distribute awards to
more than 100 companies in recognition of their outstanding services for the
promotion of brands as it ultimately contributes to the exports of the country.
He said that the brand awards distribution ceremony was being undertaken by the
FPCCI with the objective to create awareness among the other companies about
the importance, significance and benefit of conducting business under the brand
as the brand is the identity, the customers come to know. Highlighting the
importance of brand, Syed Mazhar Ali Nasir elaborated that the branding
protects a company from its competitors who want its success.
“Without
branding on Trade Mark Registration, the competitors will have no problem
making copycats of what made the branding company popular and claim it for
themselves. The competitors can carry the same or similar products if they
won't be able to take the company’s style and originality away,” he added.
