DA chief sets SRP for 8 basic commodities
Agriculture
Secretary Manny Piñol (Ali Vicoy/Manila Bulletin file photo)
DA will begin immediately the implementation of
SRPs for the following commodities: regular milled rice (₱39 per kilo); medium-
to big-sized milkfish or bangus (₱150 per kilo); medium-sized tilapia (₱100 per
kilo); medium-sized galunggong (₱140 per kilo); red onion (₱95 per kilo); white
onion (₱75 per kilo); imported garlic (₱70 per kilo); and local garlic (₱120
per kilo).
Piñol said the prices of these commodities
should not go beyond 10 percent of the SRPs as there will be sanctions against
traders who would sell their products beyond the SRP.
The SRP for selected basic necessities and
prime commodities was validated and set during a consultation meeting with
private and public stakeholders last June 22.
Piñol said SRPs for basic commodities will also
be implemented in other areas in the coming days to prevent a further surge in
prices of basic goods due to the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion
(TRAIN) Act.
Section 10 of the Republic Act 7581 or the Price Act of 1992 provides that the head of the
implementing agency may from time to time issue suggested reasonable retail
prices for any or all basic necessities and prime commodities under his
jurisdiction.
The Price Act was promulgated to
ensure the availability of basic necessities and prime commodities at
reasonable prices at all times.

World's tiniest 'computer' makes a grain of rice seem
massive
It
could lead to big changes in health monitoring.
You didn't think scientists would
let IBM's "world's
smallest computer" boast go unchallenged, did you? Sure
enough, University of Michigan has produced a
temperature sensing 'computer' measuring 0.04 cubic millimeters, or about a
tenth the size of IBM's former record-setter. It's so small that one grain of
rice seems gigantic in comparison -- and it's so sensitive that its
transmission LED could instigate currents in its circuits.
The size limitations forced researchers to get creative to
reduce the effect of light. They switched from diodes to switched capacitors,
and had to fight the relative increase in electrical noise that comes from
running on a device that uses so little power.
The result is a sensor that can measure changes in extremely
small regions, like a group of cells in your body. Scientists have suspected
that tumors are slightly hotter than healthy tissue, but it's been difficult to
verify this until now. The minuscule device could both check this claim and, if
it proves true, gauge the effectiveness of cancer treatments. The team also
envisions this helping to diagnose glaucoma from inside the eye, monitor
biochemical processes and even study tiny snails.
Why the air quotes around computer, then? The tiny size is
leading the University to question what a computer is. This does have a
full-fledged processor (based on an ARM Cortex-M0+ design), but it loses all
data when it loses power, just like IBM's device. That might be a deal-breaker
for people who expect a computer to be more complete. Still, this pushes the
limits of computing power and suggests that nearly invisible computing may be
relatively commonplace before long.
LESS THAN A RICE GRAIN: AMERICAN
SCIENTISTS HAVE CREATED A COMPUTER WITH A WIDTH OF 0.3 MM
| June 24, 2018 | Science | No Comments
The device provided by the system
memory, processor and wireless transmitter. It can convert light into
electricity.
A group of scientists from the
USA created a new computer that is smaller than a grain of rice. Note that the
width of the device is equal to 0.3 mm. the Author is David Blau. As a result
of tests, scientists have found that the device is able to convert light into
energy through photovoltaics. Data is transferred using light beams. Experts
have found the application of a new design: a computer works as a precision
temperature sensor, where electronic pulses are used to convert temperature in
a period of time.
Scientists said that the device
can be embedded in the center of the cluster of cancer cells to compare the
temperature of normal tissue and tumors. The device may report that the
temperature change with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees Celsius. This development can
also be used for monitoring of oil reservoirs.
New committee of agricultural
scientists to weigh Madhya Pradesh’s claim to GI basmati tag
This is the second such committee set up by the Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) within three months, on an issue that has taken on
political overtones with elections to the MP Assembly slated in
November-December.
Written by Harish Damodaran | New Delhi | Updated: June 24, 2018 2:59:42 pm
The new committee is expected to submit its report before July 10,
when the Madras High Court is scheduled to hear a petition by the MP
government. (Representational)
The tussle over Madhya Pradesh’s seeking geographical indication
(GI) certification for basmati paddy grown in the state has taken a new turn. A
committee of agricultural scientists has been set up under R R Hanchinal, a
former chairperson of the Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights
Authority, to study the claims of Madhya Pradesh and make appropriate
recommendations.
This is the second such committee set up by the Indian Council
of Agricultural Research (ICAR) within three months, on an issue that has taken
on political overtones with elections to the MP Assembly slated in
November-December.
The earlier panel, constituted in April, was headed by Punjab
Agricultural University Vice-Chancellor B S Dhillon, and included basmati
breeders such as V P Singh (developer of the blockbuster Pusa-1121 variety),
DVS Panwar (HBC-19 or Taraori basmati), B Mishra (CSR-30) and A K Singh
(Pusa-1509), besides D K Mishra, the director of farms at Jawaharlal
Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, and A K Gupta,
director of Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development
Authority, or APEDA. This committee did not favour the inclusion of MP as a
basmati-cultivating state for the purposes of GI registration.
The new panel has been constituted following hectic lobbying by
MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and the state government’s contention
that the earlier committee’s composition reflected a “breeder bias” towards
existing basmati GI areas. Its members are mostly scientists from outside the
traditional basmati-growing states. Besides Hanchinal, the committee includes
Kerala Agricultural University Vice Chancellor R Chandra Babu, director of the
Andhra Pradesh Rice Research Station at Maruteru (West Godavari) P V
Satyanarayana, honorary professor at Orissa University of Agriculture &
Technology S R Das, deputy director-general (horticultural science) at ICAR
Anand Kumar Singh, former DDG (crop science) Swapan Kumar Datta, assistant
director-general (seeds) D K Yadav, and ADG (intellectual property) Sanjeev
Saxena.
The new committee is expected to submit its report before July
10, when the Madras High Court is scheduled to hear a writ petition filed by
the MP government challenging an order passed by the GI Registry under the
Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks. That
order, dated March 15, had rejected MP’s claim to include 13 of its districts —
Sehore, Vidisha, Raisen, Hoshangabad, Narsinghpur, Jabalpur, Guna, Shivpuri,
Sheopur, Morena, Gwalior, Bhind and Datia — as areas entitled to the basmati GI
tag. That would give farmers in these districts the right to cultivate basmati
and market it under this premium aromatic varietal category.
APEDA, which had originally filed the application for
registering “basmati” as GI, had included only demarcated areas in the
Indo-Gangetic plain below the foothills of the Himalayas — covering 77
districts of Haryana, Punjab, West Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu &
Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi — where this rice can be legally grown.
Currently, about 2 lakh hectares (lh) are reported to be under
basmati cultivation in MP, with the 10 lakh tonnes (lt) of paddy production
from this worth roughly Rs 2,600 crore. In contrast, the total cultivated area
in the main basmati belt is over 16 lh — 7 lh in Haryana, 6 lh in Punjab, 2.6
lh in UP, 0.6 lh in J&K, 0.15 lh in Uttarakhand and 0.07 lh in HP.
India produces an estimated 65 lt of milled basmati rice, of which 40-41 lt is
exported. During 2017-18, the country’s basmati exports were valued at $ 4.17
billion (Rs 26,870.17 crore).
Those opposing MP’s claim for inclusion as a GI area for basmati
say that the state was never known to have traditionally grown this aromatic
paddy. Allowing MP’s claim would open the floodgates for others from Rajasthan
to Bihar to also demand the GI tag. That would dilute basmati’s premium
character attributable to its specific geographical origin in the Indo-Gangetic
plain below the foothills of the Himalayas.
However, rice millers in MP point out that the state today
accounts for 50 per cent of the area under Pusa Basmati-1 and 70 per cent of
the exports of this particular improved variety to the US and European markets.
That itself is proof of the quality of basmati being cultivated by farmers in
MP. And it would be difficult to deny these farmers the right to grow basmati —
especially in an election year

RICE SHORTAGE. Inflation accelerates
during President Rodrigo Duterte's second year, partly due to depleted rice
buffer stocks of the National Food Authority (NFA). File photo of Duterte

MANILA, Philippines – Affordable
rice from the National Food Authority (NFA) finally started to arrive in
local markets. Consumers could now buy NFA rice at P27 to P32 per kilo, as some
250,000 metric tons (MT) of rice from Vietnam and Thailand arrived
in ports.
However, poor families already
suffered for almost half of the year, as they were left with no choice but to
buy regular and well-milled rice.
Data from the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA) revealed the rapid surge of prices in both regular
and well-milled rice, as the NFA rice supply started to get depleted.
SOARING PRICES. Data from the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reveal rice prices started to rise when
NFA rice stocks were depleted. Data from PSA
The average price of regular
milled rice peaked in the second week of April at P39.97 per kilo, 7.88% higher
compared to the same period in 2017.
Meanwhile, the average price of
well-milled rice reached as high as P44.11 per kilo in June, 5.58% higher
year-on-year.
Prices started to soar by the
last week of March. The NFA announced in April that they had zero buffer
stocks. (READ: NFA rice shortage: Whose fault is
it?)
Inflation
The acceleration of rice prices,
along with other basic commodities and oil, as well as the implementation of
the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law, contributed to the
spike in inflation, which clocked in at 4.6% in May. The figure
is outside the government's annual target of 2% to 4%.
Budget Secretary Benjamin
Diokno did not mince wordsand
blamed the NFA for partly causing the surge.
"Una, tumaas 'yung presyo ng gasolina sa world
market at hindi natin kontrolado 'yan. Pangalawa, tumaas ang presyo ng bigas
hindi dahil sa TRAIN. 'Yan po ay dahil sa incompetence ng mga tao sa NFA,"
Diokno said in a forum on June 11.
(First, the price of fuel
increased in the world market and we cannot control that. Second, the price of
rice went higher not because of TRAIN. It was because of the incompetence of
people in the NFA.)
NFA Administrator Jason Aquino
responded: "The depletion of NFA rice supply was not a result of NFA's
inefficiency or the incompetence of its officials. It was the consequence of a
difference in views and appreciation of how the NFA mandate is supposed to be
done." (READ: Who is NFA chief Jason Aquino and
why is he controversial?)
The NFA chief said instead of
pointing blame, all should just "help each other find the right and
immediate solutions."
While rice prices are expected to
stabilize within the next weeks, several questions remain: What is the root
cause of the shortage? And what measures are in place to prevent it from
happening again?
Turf war
TURF WAR. President Rodrigo
Duterte says he clipped the powers of Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr
because of being involved in a turf war with NFA Administrator Jason Aquino.
Malacañang file photo.
Trouble in the NFA started to
catch the media's attention when the turf war between Aquino and Cabinet
Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr, who then headed the NFA council, started to heat
up. (TIMELINE: Clashes between Evasco and NFA's
Aquino)
As early as March 2017, Evasco
alerted President Rodrigo Duterte that Aquino diverted rice meant
for typhoon-prone Eastern Visayas to Bulacan rice traders.
In a confidential memorandum
obtained by Rappler, Evasco said Aquino sold 10.4 million kilograms of NFA rice
meant for Region VIII to Bulacan rice traders for P235 million.
The deal was one reason why there
was a sudden decline in NFA's buffer stock in Eastern Visayas.
Evasco asked for Aquino's removal
as NFA administrator and the council's vice-chairperson. (READ: Tug-of-war between Evasco, NFA's
Aquino continues)
Just weeks after the memo was
issued, Duterte fired Undersecretary Halmen Valdez, Evasco's proxy in the NFA
council.
Valdez said she respects
Duterte's decision, but appealed to him to look into the "NFA
syndicate."
In November 2017, Aquino called
for a government-to-government (G2G) importation of 250,000 MT of rice because
of dwindling buffer stock.
By January 2018, local markets
started to notice the short supply of affordable rice, which prompted the
senate to investigate.
Senate probes NFA

inter-agency NFA Council hit NFA chief Jason Aquino for the NFA rice price
hike. File photo by Angie de Silva/Rappler
During the Senate inquiry, Aquino
revealed that the agency has only less than two days' worth of buffer
stock– a far cry from the required 15-day stock.
Senator Cynthia Villar, chair of
the Senate committee on agriculture and food, slammed Aquino for causing the
panic.
"You should have buffer to make sure hindi
ite-take advantage ng traders ang farmers. Sasabihin mo wala kang NFA rice, 'eh
trabaho mo 'yan. Bakit mo ina-announce na hindi mo nagawa ang trabaho mo?"
Villar said on February 27.
(You should have buffer to make
sure traders would not take advantage of the farmers. You'll say there's no NFA
rice but it's your job. Why are you announcing that you could not do your job?)
Villar said she thinks Aquino is
trying to force the NFA Council to give him authority to import rice.
The NFA chief told senators that
the shortage was due to the low farm gate price ceiling of the government and
the absence of rice importation to counter it.
He said the agency could not
procure rice grains from local producers due to the low price of P17. Farmers,
he said, would rather sell their products at a higher price to middlemen.
Senators also questioned Aquino
for not procuring grains from specific provinces from October to December 2017
to take advantage of their low prices.
But Aquino said they could not
find the said cheap grains, and said these usually do not meet the standard of
dry grains with only 14% moisture content
Assistant Secretary Mercedita
Sombilla of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), part of the
NFA Council, denied Aquino's statements.
Despite the many controversies
hounding Aquino, he continues to enjoy the trust and
confidence of Duterte.
Reorganization
REORGANIZATION. President Rodrigo
Duterte transfers the National Food Authority to the Department of Agriculture,
effectively booting out NFA Council Chair and Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco
Jr. Malacañang file photo
On April 17, Duterte transferred the NFA
under the wing of the Department of Agriculture (DA), effectively booting out
Evasco as council chairman.
Minority Senator Francis
Pangilinan, who headed the NFA Council under the previous administration, questioned the decision.
"Bakit 'yung may track record na malinis at
nagpapaimbestiga ng mga iligal na gawain sa NFA ang tinanggal habang ang mga
sangkot sa kurakot ang kinampihan?" Pangilinan asked in a
statement on April 17.
(How come the one with the clean
track record and who was investigating illegal acts in the NFA was removed,
while they sided with those involved in corruption?)
In a speech on June 13, Duterte
said he took away Evasco's powers because
he was "too short-sighted" on the issue of rice supply and was
engaged in a "turf war" with other officials.
"We had a bit of a trouble
here. I had to cut some powers of Cabinet members for just being too
short-sighted or jumping into each other's territory, turf war," Duterte
said.
Meanwhile, Duterte hinted that he
is inclined to import more rice and he does not think the Philippines can ever
be rice self-sufficient.
This contradicts his stance the
year before in which he discouraged rice importation in order
to protect local rice farmers.
Rice tariffs
RICE TARIFFS. Senator Cynthia
Villar pushes for rice tariffication. File photo by Angie de Silva/Rappler
While consumers' concerns are
perceived to be addressed in the coming weeks due to the availability of NFA
rice in the market, farmers may be the next to dive into the battle arena.
Congress is poised to pass
the rice tariffication law this
year. The law aims to amend the Agricultural Tariffication Act of 1996 and
allow rice imports to flow in the country. The current law only allows the NFA
to import rice.
Senator Villar said that allowing
imports would bring down rice prices because of the tight competition. To
protect local farmers, a tariff of 35% will be slapped to all rice imports.
Bantay Bigas Spokesperson Cathy
Estavillo said the tariffs will not be enough and it will not be fair play for
local farmers.
"Magsasaka ang magdurusa sa rice tariffication
law kasi mas mura ang produkto ng Thailand at Vietnam. Madaming pangako na
tutulungan, pero ultimo irrigation problems nga hindi masolusyonan hanggang
ngayon,"Estavillo said.
(Farmers will suffer under the
rice tariffication law because products from Thailand and Vietnam are cheaper.
There are a lot of promises that the farmers will get help, but even the
irrigation problems now are not addressed.)
Villar admitted that farmers
cannot compete with Vietnam because their production cost is only at P6 per
kilo of palay, while the Filipino farmers produce at P12 per kilo.
For local farmers to be competitive,
Villar said that she is working with the DA to
push for the mechanization or use of machines in rice production and the
distribution of seeds with better yield.
Meanwhile, Piñol said farmers can
now easily borrow money from the agency through the DA's easy access financing
program.
"Gusto natin may sense of ownership ang ating
mga magsasaka kasi kung bibigyan lang natin ng binhi o kalabaw, ibebenta lang
nila 'yan. Pero kung inutang nila, hindi ganoon," Piñol said.
(We want farmers to have a sense
of ownership because if we just give them seeds or a carabao, they will just
sell it. But if they borrowed money for it, that won't be the case.)
NEDA said the measure would lower
the cost of rice in the market to P30.30 per kilo, P4.30 lower than the
domestic wholesale price of regular milled rice. – withreports from Pia Ranada, Aika Rey, and Camille

How Smugglers
Use Benin Borders For Imported Rice, Destroy Nigerian Economy
…Anxiety Over Minister’s Proposed Border C
losure
June 24, 2018
Rice
imports do not necessarily come directly into Nigeria any more
Smuggling of parboiled rice from
across the borders, mainly Benin Republic, is creating a major disaster for the
rice industry in Nigeria as well as upsetting the country’s economy, Sunday
INDEPENDENT investigations and interactions with stakeholders have shown.
What is utmost concern to Nigerian government is the rising rate
of importation of parboiled rice from Thailand, particularly to Benin Republic
of less than 12 million people compared to Nigeria which has been experiencing
reduction due to intensification of production of local rice through the
Central Bank of Nigeria’s anchor borrowers’ programme.
A visit to the borders witnessed a beehive of activities with
all manner of products, but, largely rice as the security agencies make
brisk business from the illegal operation.
This may have prompted recent pronouncement by Audu Ogbeh,
Agriculture and Rural Development minister to the effect that government will
shut the land border between it and a neigbouring country in a few days time to
avoid smuggling of foreign rice into the country.
Ogbeh, who did not mention the particular country and border,
said that shutting the borders had become necessary to encourage local production
and sustain the economy of the country.
The minister said that a neighbouring country was bent on
destroying the economy of the country and discouraging local production of
rice, hence the need to shut down the border.
“Our other problem is smuggling. As we speak, a neighbour of ours
is importing more rice than China is importing.
They do not eat parboiled rice, they eat white rice, they use
their ports to try and damage our economy.
I am telling you now because in a few days, you will hear the
border has been shut, we are going to shut it to protect you, us and protect
our economy,” Ogbeh said.
However, Sunday INDEPENDENT gathered at the weekend that the
minister is yet to come out with a policy action weeks after the pronouncement,
a development that is causing anxiety among stakeholders.
Although some stakeholders view the proposed action as a failure
on the part of government to properly man its borders or control the security
agencies, Aminu Goronyo, National President of Rice Farmers Association of
Nigeria (RIFAN) has commended the Federal Government on the move stating that
it is a welcome development which is appreciated by Nigerians especially rice
farmers in the country.
But, these developments seem to have reduced the efficacy of the
policy as foreign rice still dominates the market.
For instance, Benin imported 1,647,387 metric tonnes of rice
from Thailand in 2017 alone. Further investigations showed that Thailand’s
import of rice to Benin has been steadily on the increase, 805,765MT in 2015, and
1,427,098MT in 2016, while official import from Thailand into Nigeria was
steadily declining.
Nigeria has an estimated 189 million people while the population
of Republic of Benin is about 11 million people. In 2014, 1,239,810MT was
imported into Nigeria. It declined to 644,131MT in 2015, and to 58,260MT in
2016, reaching an all-time low of 23,197MT in 2017 and if this trajectory
remains on a downward path, Nigeria may not be importing rice by 2020.
According to some analysts, the flow of rice imported from major
Asian origins to Benin for onward shipment to Nigeria is a factor that should
not be ignored in the regional rice trade in West Africa.
Also, the ECOWAS data indicates that over half of the rice Benin
imports is sold into the Nigerian market. Port of Cotonou statistics show about
2.4 million metric tons (MMT) of cereals arriving at the port in 2014, over
half of which is rice. USDA data show about 700,000 MT of net rice and wheat
imports, coming under lower duties, another reason for the large volumes of
cereals transited through Benin, and made easier than in Nigerian corridors out
of Lagos. Rice is by far the most important commodity for the Benin Food
Importers Association.
However, what should be of most concern is the fact that Nigeria
consumes parboiled rice exclusively, while Benin prefers white rice. Rice
consumption in Nigeria is almost entirely of parboiled rice. In West Africa,
only Nigeria consumes parboiled rice. Other West African countries including
all the neighboring countries to Nigeria (Niger, Benin, Cameroon, Chad) are not
consumers of parboiled rice. In Africa, only South Africa is the other major
country that consumes parboiled rice.
Consequently, some analysts believe that these shipments of
parboiled rice from India and Thailand into Lome, Cotonou and Douala ports is a
very fair estimate of smuggled rice into Nigeria as none of these countries
have internal consumption of parboiled rice.
David Cowan, Citibank, African Economist, in a recent
publication, Nigeria Heads To The 2019 Elections What Kind Of Economic Recovery
Should We Expect, observed that the growth seen in second half of 2017 would
gain momentum in 2018 and into 2019, adding that “the recovery will however be
constrained by, politics and lack of real progress with reform – both policy
and structural – until after the February 2019 elections.”
Continuing, Cowan said, “On the one hand, business confidence
has returned and the performance of the agricultural sector remains positive.
But there are still quite a variety of different estimates for growth in 2018.
One problem is that while we remain positive about the agricultural sector
maintaining its current growth rates going forward as import substituting
production continues to pick up, we have some words of warning: There is still
a need for more investment in medium to large scale agricultural projects which
seems lacking; The geographical impact of the upturn in the agricultural sector
is somewhat uneven; And the imports are still competitive.”
However, some stakeholders have faulted government’s banning of
borders as panacea to sustenance of local firms producing rice.
Emeka Okereke, Director General, Enugu Chambers of Commerce and
Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA) wondered the sustainability of the
action as it may also be at variance with ECOWAS protocol.
“As patriotic as the intention is to encourage local production,
this will rather compound our problems when we cannot for now satisfy the huge
demand gap. I think that this will even encourage sharper practices and induce
more institutional defects. As good as the intentions are, more pragmatic steps
are required rather than this quick to fix action.”
Adeola Elliott, former Chairman, Lagos Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (LCCI) Agric and Agro Allied Group has faulted the language of some of
the minister, adding, “One expects intelligent manager to initiate solutions to
problems not to close shop completely because of operational challenge. If
Ogbeh closes the border because of rice smuggling, then all agencies operating
at the borders will become redundant and join the league of unemployed people.”
Wale Oyekoya, Chief Executive Officer of Bama Foods, sees this as another political
statement because, according to him, there is an existing law and policy that prohibit this
current summersault policy.
“It’s not necessary for the government to shut the borders
instead, the government agencies along the borders such as Nigeria Custom
Service, immigration and border patrol need to do their jobs and stop the bribery
and corruption that is killing our economy and nation,” Oyekoya said.
Rice farmers
laud federal government’s plans to close border to stem rice imports
-
June 22, 2018
The Rice Farmers Association of
Nigeria (RIFAN), on Friday, commended Federal Government for its plans to close
Nigeria’s border with a neighbouring country to stop rice importation through
the land borders.
South-West Coordinator of RIFAN,
Mr. Segun Atho, conveyed the commendation in an interview, in Lagos.
He noted that the indiscriminate
importation of rice through the land borders had been increasing worrisome;
particularly due to the fact most of the rice importers were smugglers who
evaded the payment of customs duty.
He said that the proposed policy
would boost local production of rice, adding that it would signal a new lease
of life for local rice producers.
He said that the act would also
encourage the establishment of more rice plantations and mills across the
country.
“We need to appreciate the
activities of rice farmers across the country; this is a right step in the
right direction and the farmers are very happy about it.
“The nascent policy will
encourage rice farmers to double their production because we are up to the
tasks ahead.
“We are hopeful that this
decision by the government will also encourage new entrants into rice
cultivation,’’ he said.
Atho, however, urged the Federal
Government to give more incentives to rice farmers so as to encourage them to
produce more and meet the increasing demand for rice by the citizens.
PCC extends probe of questionable practices
in rice sector
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:46 AM June 23, 2018
The Philippine Competition Commission (PCC)
will look further into potential anticompetitive practices in the rice sector as
consumers continue to face supply lack and high prices.
PCC Commissioner Stella Alabastro Quimbo
told reporters yesterday the antitrust body needed to look into more nuanced
information about rice markets that may not have been detailed by national or regional
data during the first phase of its study.
The purpose of the market study, she said,
was to identify competition concerns in the sector with the end goal of
addressing those issues.
These competition concerns may include
price fixing and the presence of cartels, among others.
Quimbo refused to disclose details of the
ongoing market study, noting that they still needed to look into data that has
not been made available so far. She said the study “also looks” into the
current predicament in rice imports, among others.
“Phase 1 uses more aggregate data, which is
national level data or a little bit of regional level data,” she said, citing
this as the reason why the first phase ended with “very broad strokes.”
She did not say how long the second phase
would take. However, she said that this probe, along with other market studies
in other sectors, would have to be finished this year.
In total, PCC wants to finish several
market studies this year, covering nine different sectors, namely: Rice, meat
and poultry, pharmaceuticals, land transportation, air transportation,
agricultural credit, digital commerce, telecommunications and retail.
After finding out the competition concerns,
PCC would then decide how to approach the matter, which could involve opening an
investigation.

Price of rice seen to drop with arrival of NFA rice
By Rosalie O. Abatayo and Futch Anthony InsoJune 22,2018

warehouse of the National Food Authority (NFA) . CDN PHOTO/JUNJIE MENDOZA
THE public may soon see a lowering of prices for commercial rice
as the unloading of the first shipment of rice imported by the National Food
Authority (NFA) from Vietnam has started.Olma Marie Bayno, Information Officer
of NFA-7, said the cargo agent of the supplier committed to work on the
unloading operations 24 hours a day.
“[With the availability of NFA rice in the market soon,] we can
really expect the price of commercial rice to lower. However, we cannot say
that the drop of the prices will be that much,” Bayno said in a phone interview
with Cebu Daily News.
If the weather permits, Bayno said the unloading will only take
seven days instead of 15.
As of 5 p.m. on Friday, 8,500 bags were already unloaded and
moved to the NFA warehouse.
Bayno said they are waiting for all the 200,000 bags of rice to
be unloaded so that they can allocate how many bags would be for retailing.
“We need everything to be fully accounted first. That is why we
need to wait until everything is unloaded,” said Bayno.
The second vessel containing 7,000 metric tons or 140,000 bags
of imported rice which arrived in Cebu on Thursday dawn is still in waters off
Kawit Island as of press time.
Bayno said the cargo agent of the vessel is still securing the
necessary discharge permits from the Bureau of Customs.
Bayno said the docking of the vessel might also be delayed
because of the lack of berthing space at the port, thus it is possible that it
might have to wait until the first cargo ship finishes unloading the NFA rice.
Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture in Central Visayas
(DA-7) assured that the income of local farmers will not be impaired.
“Supply of NFA rice only serves as buffer stocks, especially
during lean months, when we couldn’t expect any harvest of rice from our local
farmers,” DA-7 information officer Cheryl dela Victoria said.
Dela Victoria also said that NFA plans to increase the buying
price of rice from local farmers, in order to increase their income.
“As of the moment, NFA has set the buying price of rice at P17
per kilo,” she added.
She clarified that Central Visayas is not a rice yielding
region, and only contributes 21 percent of the country’s production of rice.
“We are also continuing our “Bigasan ng Masa” program, wherein
DA-7 imports rice from Bohol to sell it to consumers at very low price,” she
said,
During this activity, special premium rice is sold at only P48
per kilo, P44 per kilo for well-milled rice, P38 per kilo for under-milled
rice, P40 per kilo for brown rice and P70 per kilo for Black or pigmented rice.
Changing pattern of bilateral
trade, FPCCI prepares report on proposal of Kenyan mission
By Web
Desk
June 22, 2018
ISLAMABAD : The Federation of
Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Research & Development
(R&D) has prepared a study report on the proposal of Kenyan mission for
negotiating product specific Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Pakistan.
The FPCCI report explores
different pattern of preferential treatment in bilateral trade and has found a
new pattern of bilateral trade to enhance volume of trade.
Research department reports
states the countries are now seeking preferential treatment for the potential
product which is a kind of product specific FTA and an example of Remodeling of
Barter System. In this regards FPCCI report has analytically examined Pakistan
and Kenya bilateral trade which is confined to few products included tea, rice,
coffee, pharmaceutical products, furniture dominate.
The Kenya has desired to
negotiate preferential treatment for tea in the form of product specific FTA.
Pakistan is the largest importers of Kenyan Tea- It imported tea worth of
592.837 million dollars out of total US $ 1,424.429 million export of tea from
Kenya.
Similarly, Pakistan’s Rice shares
US $229.104 million in the total rice import of US $ 259.043 million of Kenya,
Pharmaceutical products shares US $ 6.358 million out of total Kenyan
pharmaceutical imports of US $ 518.284 million, other items that have major
share in Pakistan’s export basket for Kenya are textile and furniture, etc.
The research department of FPCCI
has extensively analyzed bilateral trade between Pakistan and Kenya and in its
report renamed the Pak-Kenya negotiation for product specific FTA as Remodeling
of Barter System.
The FPCCI R&D after analyzing
various avenues of trade between Pakistan and Kenya also suggested that both
countries should work to develop a mechanism to find out possible revenue
loss/generation if such agreement implemented.
This kind of preferential
treatment other than PTA and FTA would be a new kind of product specific FTA
similar to Barter System and would be treated as Remodeling of Barter System.
Public Interest: Know the quality
of your basmati rice before picking it
By
Prof Sri Ram Khanna & Consumer Voice Team
, Friday, 22 June 2018
There are hundreds of varieties of
rice grown and eaten throughout the world. Basmati rice is a special variety
which is grown in specific areas of West Punjab (now Pakistan) and some parts
of India. Basmati rice is known for its long grains and aroma. There are Agmark
standards for basmati rice . With effect from February 5, 2016, basmati rice is
a registered GI (geographical indication) product. Agricultural and Processed
Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), as registered proprietor of
the GI, is responsible for putting in place a system for administration of GI
and authentication of the product. Such rice has standards which can be tested
in a lab. These quality standards include minimum precooking and post-cooking
grain length, share of broken and fragmented grains, damaged/discoloured
grains, etc. In an inferior product, there may be red-striped grains, green
grains, chalky grains and so on. The price of basmati rice of 12 brands covered
in the lab tests conducted by Consumer Voice varied from Rs 95 to Rs 190 per
kg. Suppliers mix inferior quality rice priced between Rs 40 and Rs 50 per kg
with genuine basmati rice to increase their profit as consumers rarely can make
out the difference. These differences, however, showed up in the lab tests of
these 12 brands.
NABL accredited lab for
comparative tests
Tests were conducted at an
NABL-accredited laboratory and as per requirements specified in Agmark rules
(cereals grading & marking rules) and FSS regulations for rice. Note that
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has no specific standard
for basmati rice. Agmark has standards for Dehradun and Saharanpur-grown
basmati rice as well as export quality basmati rice. In the absence of specific
standards for domestic trade of basmati rice, we have taken Agmark standards
for export quality as reference standard for evaluation. Here it must be
mentioned that none of the tested brands bears Agmark grading.
12 brands of rice DNA tested
Consumer Voice tested 12 leading
brands of basmati rice on the above-mentioned parameters as well as other key
quality determinants. A crucial aspect of the test was DNA analysis of the
samples to detect adulteration with non-basmati rice. Other key parameters
included grain length/ breadth ratio, average precooked grain length and
elongation ratio. Samples were also checked for presence of broken or
fragmented grains, damaged/discoloured grains, chalky grains, green grains,
other grains, moisture, uric acid, aflatoxins and foreign matter (such as dust
and stones). A major health-related parameter was presence of heavy metals
(lead and arsenic) as well as pesticide residues.
Quality score of each brand
based on lab tests
The highest overall test scores
went for Golden Harvest and Lal Qila (92/100 each). It was followed by
Patanjali (89/100), Tilda (88/100) and Asbah and India Gate ( 87/100 each). The
lowest rankings were for Fortune (62/100) and Kohinoor (63/100). Rest of the
brands were rated in between: Daawat (84/100), Organic Tattva (82/100),
Aeroplane (81/100) and Heritage (76/100).
While Golden Harvest (Rs 130/kg)
and Lal Qilla (Rs 150/kg) were adjudged as top quality, Patanjali was adjudged
as best value for money being pieced at Rs 125 per kg.
DNA Tests
DNA testing is mainly used to
determine if parent is biologically related to the child. Similarly DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) test was conducted to determine purity of basmati rice.
The test can detect adulteration of non-basmati rice. Presence of inferior
varieties of rice is considered as adulteration. The admixture of common rice
in basmati rice should not exceed limits prescribed in Agmark. This criteria
had a weightage of 25/100 in Consumer Voice ranking. Only Golden Harvest
and Lal Qilla scored full marks (25/25) as pure basmati as they had no trace of
any other variety. All other brands were contaminated with a share of non
basmati rice varying from a low of 2.8 per cent (Patanjali ) to a high of 36.6
per cent (Kohinoor).
Physiochemical , sensory and
safety tests conducted
Sixteen different tests were
conducted to measure different physiochemical characteristics including
quality of grains, energy and nutrition content, uric acid and aflatoxins among
others. Safety tests included test for lead and arsenic as well as 37
pesticides. All the brands were within safe limits. ‘Organic Tattva’ contained
pretilachlor pesticide which demolished its claim of being organic.
Sensory tests were conducted by an
expert panel. Rice was boiled and experts assigned scores out of 12 based on
fragrance/ aroma, appearance, size of kernel, colour, texture and taste. Tilda
got highest score of 10.49/12 while Heritage got the lowest of 7.8/12. Brands
were also scored for packing, marking and net weight.
Consumer Voice does comparative
tests based on ISO Guide 46 and Guideline of Consumer International.
Samples for the test are bought from retail shops. Manufacturers are informed
of test criteria prior to tests and once the test results are out, they are
given an opportunity to object to the test results. The results are published
only after giving due consideration to the objections of manufacturers.
Over last three decades, Consumer Voice has tested over 250 categories of
products that include consumer durables, electrical products, cosmetics , food
and a variety of consumer household products. These tests are conducted
following the guidelines of the Sathi Nair Committee approved by the Union
Goverment. Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs has been supporting these tests
with grants from the Consumer Welfare Fund (CWF) .

Feature:
Afghan refugees get integrated into Pakistani society with fading memories of
homeland

ISLAMABAD,
June 22 (Xinhua) -- Khurram Saeedi, an Afghan refugee running a garment
business in Islamabad, got married to his Pakistani girlfriend last year in a
ceremony attended by both Pakistani and Afghan nationals.
"We
faced strong resistance from my wife's family. Her parents were not willing to
give her hand in marriage to an Afghan refugee. They were afraid that someday I
would be forced to return to my country and the fate of their daughter would
hang in balance," said Saeedi.
"Somehow
she convinced them to allow her to marry me, but they are still not happy with
her decision. They believe either my wife will lose me or they will lose their
daughter if she decided to go with me to Afghanistan if the Pakistani
government forced me to leave their country," Saeedi explained.
Saeedi
added that the concerns of his wife's family are justified, as he himself is
not so sure about his future. "I want to continue my life in Pakistan. I
have opened my eyes in Pakistan, this is my motherland. I dine, dress and think
like locals. There is no difference between me and them so I don't think I
should be forced to leave here," he said.
According
to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Pakistan is the
second largest refugee-hosting country in the world, with some 1.4 million
registered refugees. Pakistani official estimates show that overall, about 2.5
million registered and unregistered Afghan refugees are living in the country.
Samad
Khan, an official with the UNHCR, in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province,
told Xinhua that in most cases, Afghan refugees have been living in Pakistan
for three generations. "They have business here, their children study in
schools here, and they have become so used to the life here that they never
want to go back to their motherland."
"About
80 percent of Afghans living in Pakistan are those who were either born in
Pakistan or moved here at a very young age. They don't know much about
Afghanistan, many of them have never been to their native land even once in
their lives. They have adapted themselves so much to Pakistani life that from
the way they dress and speak you can hardly tell that they are not Pakistani
nationals," Khan said.
After
spending so many years in Pakistan, the Afghan refugees have integrated into
Pakistani society. They started dressing and eating like the locals and at the
same time passed their traditions on to the locals.
"We
have adopted their (Pakistanis) Briyani (spicy rice cooked with meat) and
passed on our Kabuli Pulao (low spice rice cooked with meat, carrots and
raisins) to them," Atif Amin, an Afghan refugee pursuing a bachelor's
degree at the Peshawar University, told Xinhua.
Amin
said that his family has been living in Pakistan for 30 years. He was born and
bred in Pakistan and he feels very attached to the country, but his father has
spent his childhood and some part of his youth in Afghanistan so he has found
it very hard to adjust to local life even after all the years.
His
father repeatedly asks him to move back to Afghanistan with him after the
completion of his studies.
Ilhama
Qiamy, 23, recently completed her bachelor's degree in economics at the
University of Peshawar owing to the quota allocated by the Pakistani government
for excellent Afghan refugee students.
Qiamy
told Xinhua that she was three when she sneaked into Pakistan with her family.
The restlessness in her native land drove her family to bid adieu to their
ancestral land and get settled in Pakistan.
"I
don't remember Afghanistan because I was so young when I left for Pakistan. The
earliest memories of my childhood are studying in a Pakistani school and
playing on a swing tied to a tree in front of my house in Pakistan."
Qiamy
said that her family and herself are fond of Pakistani culture. Her mother and
sisters dress like Pakistani women and even when she visited her hometown in
Afghanistan some five years ago, she preferred to wear Pakistani attire there.
"I feel more comfortable in Pakistani clothes. Women in my province in
Afghanistan wear veiled dress. I wore that once or twice for fun when I visited
Afghanistan, but I feel more comfortable in Pakistani attire."
"My
mother cannot speak or understand Urdu language, but she always follows
Pakistani cooking shows on TV to have an idea of the recipes of Pakistani food,
and later cooks them at home."
Qiamy
told Xinhua that they have completely absorbed themselves into the Pakistani
society as her father and brothers work in the country and all her friends are
Pakistanis.
"I
was born in Afghanistan, but I found myself in Pakistan. This country provided
me shelter and gave me loving friends when there was restlessness in my native
place. This land allowed me to live peacefully here. But despite all the love
and warmth I received from here, Pakistan sometimes hurt me, unintentionally,
though," Qiamy said, explaining that during the last semester at her
university it was announced that all the brilliant students will get laptop
from a scheme launched by the Pakistani prime minister.
"Despite
being one of the brightest students in my class, I could not receive one
because I was an Afghan refugee and not a Pakistani national and no matter how
hard I worked, there was no one to appreciate my efforts," a tearful Qiamy
told Xinhua.
Afghan
refugees resemble people living in the northwest Pashtun belt of Pakistan
located near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Their language and culture are
almost the same, making it easy for the refugees to penetrate into Pakistan.
Afghan refugees who were repatriated to their country took many cultural facets
of Pakistan back home with them.
One
of the most prominent things is the game of cricket. Refugees who lived in
Pakistan played and watched cricket with locals and formed a national team upon
return to their home country.
According
to a local daily, an Afghan elder claimed that 400,000 refugees had returned to
Afghanistan in 2017 under the voluntary return program, but out of them some
100,000 had come back as the Afghan government did not provide them with the
required facilities.
According
to the UNHCR, more than 5.2 million Afghan refugees have returned to their
militancy-plagued country over the past 16 years.
Pakistan
has told Afghan refugees to leave the country before June 30. The government
has set such deadlines many times before, only to extend them, however, it is
still unclear whether Pakistani authorities will grant another extension to the
refugees or not.
Ruvendrini
Menikdiwela, head of UNHCR in Pakistan, however, is hopeful that they will win
another extension from the Pakistani caretaker set up for Afghan refugees.
Pakistan
feels that Afghan refugees are a social and economic burden and this is the
reason why they are repeatedly told to leave the country. The country does not
have enough resources to feed and provide basic needs including water,
electricity, health, education and food to its own population and under such
conditions accommodating over 2 million refugees adds more woes to the
government.
On
the other hand, Afghans who have been living in Pakistan since the Soviet
invasion find it very hard to reassimilate in Afghanistan now. Their kids have
never been to Afghanistan, they have settled their lives in Pakistan and they
believe if they are forced to leave the country, nothing but socioeconomic
problems will be waiting for them back in Afghanistan.
"When
Pakistan-Afghan relations become tense we feel so concerned and fear that
someday someone will tell us to pack our bags and go back. I was born here, so
I take Pakistan as my home, I love its streets and roads. But despite all that,
in documents I am still an 'outsider'," Amin said.
"No
matter how many shalwar qamiz (national dress of Pakistan) I have in my
wardrobe, and how many times a month I eat biryani and chaat (a kind of
Pakistani food), no matter how many deep friendships I have made with locals
here, I will still remain under the 'other and irrelevant' category in this
country. This feeling of fear gives me many sleepless nights," Amin told
Xinhua.

“It stayed colder a lot longer than it normally does here in
Southwest Louisiana," Harrell said. "But then as soon as that left,
it went from winter to summer almost immediately, and when that happened our
rice really began to take off and grow well.”Harrell also stated that while an
agreement has been in place for the United States to sell rice to China for
about a year, progress has stalled.
Harrell says with the current trade negotiations, it looks as
though rice farmers across the country will have to wait even longer to tap
into China’s rice industry.

When 95% is better than 100%
June 23, 2018, 10:00 PM
By Dr. Emil Q. Javier
The rice self-sufficiency debate
continues to be in the limelight after President Duterte made light of the
recent announcement of the Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Manuel
Piñol that we could be self-sufficient in rice by 2020. Paradoxically, both are
plausibly correct but both could also be wrong.
Secretary Piñol has reasons to be
optimistic. Weather for rice growing had been favorable the past two years and
the adoption of hybrid rice technology is spreading. Our national average palay
yield is now at 4.15 tons per hectare and progressively increasing, albeit
slowly. The modern inbred varieties developed by the Philippine Rice Research
Institute (PhiRice) with proper fertilization easily produce 5–6 tons per
hectare. The new rice hybrids promoted by the private seed companies produce
7–8 tons per hectare in farmers’ fields. The better rice farmers in Nueva Ecija
routinely report 10 tons per hectare with hybrids.
Moreover, Secretary Piñol has
another card in his sleeve. We can attain self-sufficiency in rice by moderating
per capita consumption by substitution. If we aggressively raise availability
of white corn grits, we will need less rice. And not only are white corn grits
cheaper than rice, they are also more healthful. Corn grits have a lower
glycemic index, potentially useful in slowing down the growing public health
menace of diabetes.
However, we have yet to hear of
progress, if any, of the DA revitalization program of the white corn sector in
order to catch up with our very successful genetically modified (GM) yellow
corn hybrid program for animal and fish feed.
President Duterte in making fun
of Piñol’s rice self-sufficiency story has history to back him up. Except for
the aberration in 1972–1973, we always had been short of rice.
But whether we can produce enough
rice to meet our requirement is not the right question to ask. For sure we can
produce more rice, but at what cost?
Our cost of producing palay is
about P13 per kilogram. We have to significantly bring that down to match
Vietnam’s cost of about P7 per kilogram, and Thailand’s P10 per kilogram.
With the phasing out of
quantitative restrictions in the importation of rice in compliance with our
covenant with our trading partners under the World Trade Organization (WTO),
even with a tariff of 35%, these cheaper rices from Vietnam and Thailand will
inevitably increasingly displace domestically produced rice.
This is both bad and good. Our
rice farmers will suffer loss of income as the imported rice will depress farm
gate prices of palay. The rest of the population however will benefit from
lower rice retail prices. With inflation rearing its ugly head at 5%, over the
3-4% inflation rate projected by our economic managers, the temptation is great
to immediately arrest inflation and calm the population by massively importing
rice.
In order to compete with imported
rice we should bring down the cost of producing palay to about R8 per kilogram.
This could be attained in two ways: first, by raising palay yields to 6
tons/hectare, and second, reducing the cost of labor in transplanting and labor
in manual harvesting and threshing by wider deployment of rice combine
machines.
Yields of 6 tons per hectare are
easily attained by use of the recommended inbred varieties under irrigation and
with proper fertilization. Rice hybrids produce much more especially in the dry
season.
Transplanting of rice seedlings
is very labor intensive. The alternative is by direct seeding or sabog-tanim.
Rice combines perform the
harvesting and threshing operations simultaneously. These machines are
expensive and are beyond the reach of most farmers. However, they are now
widely used in Nueva Ecija and Isabela which demonstrate that they are
economically feasible. It is now a matter of providing incentives and making it
easier for enterprising farmers in the rest of the country to obtain loans to
acquire these combines and become professional farm operations service
providers.
Thus, we can produce rice
competitively by: 1) focusing our rice production efforts in areas serviced by
irrigation systems, 2) universal adoption of high yielding inbreds and hybrids,
3) proper fertilization, 4) perfecting direct seeding technology as now widely
practiced in Thailand and South India, and 5) further moderating labor cost by
massive deployment of rice combines as they already do in Nueva Ecija and
Isabela.
The above strategy implies that
the areas where we now grow rice less productively i.e. the rainfed lowland
areas and the uplands will have to be partially withdrawn from rice production
and diverted to other crops.
Thus, instead of 100% rice
self-sufficiency, the more attainable and economically sensible target, ought
to be, say 95%, as we are doing now. DA and Philippine Rice Research Institute
(PhilRice) Rice should do their arithmetic.
The big challenge is what to do
with the areas withdrawn from rice as well as the alternative employment for
those workers displaced by more complete mechanization. The answers are
diversification and multiple cropping.
Crops After Rice
During the rainy season when the
fields are partly flooded, the most ecologically sound crop to grow is rice.
Unfortunately, this is also the time of the year when the typhoons come. But
rice, provided it is hit by strong winds and flooded during the vegetative
stage, could still recover, unlike most other crops.
After the rains stop, there is
sufficient residual moisture in the soil profile to start a second crop. But
without the assurance of water availability through irrigation, the
productivity/profitability of the second crop is always problematic.
But the pleasant truth is there
are many other crops more profitable to grow than rice such as pechay, mustard,
mungbean, peanut, tomato, eggplant, ampalaya, chili pepper, sweet pepper,
melons, squashes, etc.
Pechay and mustard are harvested
in only 30 days. They can be sown directly into the rice stubbles immediately
after the first rice crop when there is still plenty of soil moisture. It costs
P3–P4 to raise a kilogram of pechay and mustard. Farm gate prices vary widely
from P5 to P18 per kilogram. At 10 tons per hectare, the margin could be
P10,000 to P140,000 in 30 days. Much better than the P40,000 to P50,000 per
hectare from rice after 120 days.
We have well-adapted
high-yielding varieties of these different high value crops. Our farmers know
how to grow then and will need little instruction and encouragement.
However, there are two provisions
where government support/interventions are vitally needed: First, linking
farmers to markets through better market information, establishment of properly
situated farmers’ markets/bagsakans, and promotion of contract growing as a
business model. And, second, provision of easily accessible credit so farmers
can acquire shallow tube wells and pumps, and joint construction by the local
government units and the Bureau of Soils and Water Management of communal
reservoirs and small farm ponds.
Ironically, with these two
supports, the hitherto poor rainfed lowland and upland rice farmers may in the
end be more fortunate than their irrigated rice monoculture counterparts!

Rural pregnant
women in Bangladesh exposed to lead poisoning
Manzur H Maswood | Published: 23:19, Jun 22,2018
| Updated: 18:20, Jun 23,2018
Rural pregnant women in Bangladesh are exposed to lead poisoning
from food and oil stored in cans as well as from pesticides, herbicides and
turmeric powder, found a study jointly by the ICDDR,B and the Stanford
University in the United States.
The findings on ‘Prevalence of elevated blood lead levels among pregnant women and sources of lead exposure in rural Bangladesh: A case control study was on May 24 posted online by US journal Environmental Research.
The study followed 5,551 women from their first or second trimester of pregnancy and analysed the blood lead levels of 430 pregnant women, who were randomly selected from rural communities of Mymensingh, Tangail, and Kishoreganj districts.
Out of the 430 women, 132 or 31 per cent had blood lead levels higher than five microgram per deciliter, found the study.
The study reveals that about 31 per cent pregnant women had blood lead levels higher than five microgram per deciliter and six per cent had elevated levels of blood lead higher than 10microgram per deciliter.
The highest level of blood lead was detected at 29.1microgram per deciliter.
A pregnant woman’s past or present exposure to lead puts her unborn baby at risk, doctors said.
Lead exposure can affect the unborn child’s brain, causing developmental problems later in life and impairing cognitive development.
Fetuses exposed to lead before birth may be born early or underweight, they said.
‘The issue of lead exposure was found to be very diverse and broad,’ research team member and ICDDR,B’s Immunobiology, Nutrition and Toxicology Laboratory head Rubhana Raqib told New Age.
‘It will require major policy and regulatory actions, coordination across levels of government, and public and private investments,’ she said.

For a case-control study, 57 women were selected with the highest blood lead levels of higher than seven microgram per deciliter and 59 women were selected with the lowest blood lead levels of less than two microgram per deciliter.
Side by side with the blood tests, the researchers spoke to the women and soil, rice, turmeric, water, traditional medicine, agrochemical, and can samples were analyzed to ascertain the status of their lead contamination.
The study found that the group with the highest blood lead level pregnant women consumed foods stored in cans and prepared their daily meals with cooking oil stored in cans.
The group of pregnant women with the highest blood lead level was found to have been exposed to Basudin pesticide and Rifit herbicide as the agrochemicals were sprayed near their homes.
Besides, seven of the 17 turmeric samples collected from the homes of the pregnant women exposed to lead contamination in excess of the acceptable limit of 2.5 per microgram per gram of turmeric set by the BSTI.
But the turmeric samples were not packaged.
One of the unpackaged unbranded turmeric samples contained 265 microgram of lead per gram of turmeric and 49 microgram of chromium per gram of turmeric, found the study.
During the study, twenty-five samples of unhusked, husked, and powdered rice were collected from local grinding mills associated with participants with the highest level of lead in their blood.
The study shows that 50per cent of the ground rice samples had a lead concentration above the level of detection, but the maximum lead concentration was only 0.1 microgram per gram of ground rice.
The ‘elevated blood lead levels appeared to be a widespread problem in many districts across rural Bangladesh,’ reveals the study.
‘There does not appear to be a single source of lead exposure in this context that can provide a simple focus for prevention, but rather several sources that require further investigation including lead-soldered cans, agrochemicals, rice grinding, and turmeric’, it said.
Rubhana Raqib said that exposure to high levels of lead in pregnant women’s blood can cause various pregnancy related complications or birth outcome such as gestational hypertension, spontaneous abortion or miscarriage, impaired neurodevelopment, premature birth, still birth, low birth weight and so on.
She called for blood lead testing of the inhabitants of industrial areas as they are exposed to high risk of contamination for detecting the lead exposure sources.
She also called for raising public awareness about the harmful effects of lead contamination particularly on children and pregnant women.
Rubhana advised the authorities to reduce lead contamination in food and consumer products and lead free pesticides and fertilizers.
She advised the government to make a law stipulating punishments for the crime of food poisoning and other poisoning of soil, air and water by industries.

Suresh Prabhu asks officials to prepare policy to set up stalls
of GI products at airports
Commerce and Industry Minister
Suresh Prabhu directed officials to prepare a policy to set up stalls of GI
products at all the airports of the country. The move will help promote these
products in the country.
Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu directed officials
to prepare a policy to set up stalls of GI products at all the airports of the
country. The move will help promote these products in the country.
A Geographical Indication (GI) is primarily an agricultural,
natural or a manufactured product (handicrafts and industrial goods)
originating from a definite geographical territory.
Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness,
which is essentially attributable to the place of its origin.
In a meeting with senior officials here, he also suggested
displaying GI products from all over India at all international airports of the
country.
The minister, who also holds the civil aviation portfolio,
"directed officials to prepare a policy for establishing GI stalls at all
airports of India," the ministry said in a statement.
Reviewing the agriculture sector of the Konkan region, the
minister directed officials to run campaigns on Geographical Indicators (GIs)
so as to increase awareness about the benefits of this tag for the produce of
this region.
