Growing Rice With
Seawater Could Feed ‘Entire Arab McKinley Corbley

A successful experiment in the
deserts of Dubai may promise to curb hunger around the world.
A team of Chinese scientists has
managed to develop a specific strain of rice that grows in saltwater. Not only
that, it yields far more rice than the average freshwater-dependent strains.
Back in January, the researchers
were invited by representatives of the United Arab Emirates to plant some of
the salt-tolerant rice in different patches of the desert where water is too
precious to waste on crops that depend on such intense hydration.
After five months of growth,
severals strains of the modified rice yielded as much as 7.8 tons of food per
hectare. For comparison, the global average stands at 3.3 tons per hectare.
The researchers from the Qingdao
Saltwater Rice Research and Development Center are continuing the project by
launching an experimental 100-hectare saltwater rice farm in 2019 that will
evaluate the costs of production and different farming techniques. They hope to
then accelerate their rate of production by 2020.
Their longterm goal is to cover
up to 10% of the UAE with the saltwater rice paddies – and if the technology
proves to be consistently successful in Dubai’s harsh agricultural climate,
then the farms could “feed the entire Arab world.”
According to Yuan Longping, the
“father of hybrid rice” and leader of the research institute, there are over
386,000 square miles (1 million kilometers) of land in China that is currently
going unused due to the high salt content of the soil.
By planting his specially
developed saltwater rice on just one-tenth of this land,
it would boost the nation’s food production by 20% – which is enough to feed
over 200 million people
Scientists develop improved variety of Mologolukulu rice
Improved rice variety of NLR
3186 in field trails.
Nellore: In an ambitious move to restore
the past glory of the most sought after Nellore Mologolukulu rice variety,
Acharya N.G. Ranga Agriculture Research Station in Nellore has been paying
special attention to develop the variety further.
It
is no hyperbole to state that Nellore became very popular for rice because of
the Mologolukulu variety which was cultivated in a big way a few decades back.
The reasons for the entire farming community opting for this variety in the
past were its quality, taste and nutrition value.
However,
the long duration of the crop, requirement of huge quantity of water, and
people’s preference for slender varieties of rice pushed Molagolukulu to the
backyard over the years. Most of the farming community across the district also
opted out of this variety as it became prone to blast disease (aggi tegulu).
In
this backdrop, Nellore Agriculture Research Station started developing the
variety with focus on eliminating its weak points. They came out with a
Molagolukulu variety known as NLR 3186 last year. The scientists are buoyed
over the field trials carried out all over the state during the last Kharif
season.
The
duration of the 3186 crop was brought down to 150 days as against 170 days in
the past. Scientists also rectified its lodging nature and made it blast
tolerant without tip sterility, unlike previous varieties of Molagolukulu.
"The
cooking quality of the medium slender grain culture is as good as its
predecessors,” said D. Kodandarami Reddy, principal scientist of the
Agriculture Research Station. "It is suitable for the Kharif season and
farmers got good yields when they raised the variety last year," said Ms.
Sri Lakshmi, ARS scientist. She said farmers were also coming forward to raise
another rice culture known as NLR 3217 developed in their research station. It
is a short duration rice culture with medium slender grain having resistance to
blast, tolerance to sheath blight, sheath rot, brown spot and Tungro disease.
Superior
varieties fall prey to malpractices by millers
Popular
rice varieties developed at the agriculture research station are hit by the
malpractices of the rice millers.
Instead
of marketing the variety with its number or name christened by the Agriculture
Research Station at Nellore, the millers and traders have been mixing them in
costly varieties after buying them for a meagre price to make a fast buck.
For
instance, an excellent variety developed and released under the name NLR 34449
(Nellore Mashuri) is high yielding, fine grain, blast resistant and responsive
to high applied nitrogen and the yields are to the extent of 8 to 10
tonnes/hectare.
The
area under this variety is increasing year after year and it is estimated that
this variety occupies about 6 lakh hectares in the state.
However,
the variety is largely used by traders and millers for mixing with another most
sought after rice type, BPT 5204. One of the reasons for this is similarities
between the appearance of the grain as well as cost difference.
While
the cost of BPT 5204 is around Rs 19,000 for putti (850 kg), the cost of NLR
34449 is around Rs 15,000, which means Rs 4000 is pocketed for every putti
without any hassles.
The
traders use a steaming process at parboiled rice mills to prevent consumers
from identifying the mixing. The technique also helps them to market the
recently harvested grains as one or two year old rice.
When
contacted, president of Nellore Rice Millers and Traders Association, Nagireddy
Subhramanyam Reddy, said some traders and few small time rice millers had been
adopting such malpractices because of competition in the market and deceiving
the consumers.
He
added that those marketing branded rice would not follow such deceptive
practices.
"Though
everyone concerned is aware of the wrongdoings, no one takes any action because
it is very difficult to prove the mixing carried out with the steaming
technique" an official of Agriculture Research Station said.
Day after clash with farmers, rice millers
continue strike
Want
case registered against paddy growers too
Archit Watts
Tribune News Service
Malout, October 20
A day after a clash between some farmers and
rice mills’ executives at the local grain market, the latter on Saturday
continued their strike seeking action against the former.
Agitated over
the registration of a case against two rice millers and over 15 unidentified
persons, they announced to continue their strike till the farmers were booked.
Notably, the rice millers of Malout on Friday
had suspended the unloading of paddy at their mills. Meanwhile on Saturday,
they met the Deputy Commissioner, the SSP and the SDM seeking action against
the farmers.
Prem Kumar
Goyal, president, Rice Millers’ Association, Malout, said, “We have sought
action against the farmers who started the scuffle. The SSP and the district
administration have assured us that an inquiry into the case registered against
us would be marked. Further, the farmers will be booked on the complaint of our
executives.”
Notably, the
clash took place on Friday at the grain market when some farmers allegedly
misbehaved with the purchaser of a rice mill, passed casteist remarks and
thrashed him.
On the other
hand, farmers said the rice millers had rejected the paddy procured by a
government agency citing high moisture content and ordered unloading of bags,
which led to an altercation and the turban of one of them was also tossed in
the air.
The local police
have booked Prem Kumar Goyal, Amritpal Singh Dhillon and over 15 unidentified
persons under Sections 451, 341, 323, 506, 148 and 149 of the IPC on the
complaint of Lakhwinder Singh of Enakhera village near here.
Local MLA Ajaib
Singh Bhatti on Friday marked a probe into the incident to the SDM and the SP.
If the unloading
of paddy remained suspended till Monday, it may lead to a glut in the mandis as
this is the peak season and farmers are bringing their produce in large numbers
daily.

Bathinda, October 20
Farmers are
having a tough time in the region’s grain markets due to high moisture content
in their paddy produce while they allege that moisture meters of the purchase
agencies have only added to their woes.
Talking to The
Tribune, Darshan Singh, a farmer from Jassi Pauwali village, said, “I have been
waiting for the purchase of my paddy for the last five days, but the agencies
are saying its moisture content is high. The procurement agency and rice
sheller representatives, armed with separate moisture meters, had come to
purchase it a couple of days ago. However, both the meters were showing
different readings. While one of them showed moisture content at 22, the other
put the figure at 26. I am clueless what to do now.”
He said he had been drying up his paddy in the
sunlight for the last four days and it seemed completely dry to him. He was now
waiting for the moisture content to dip to the permissible limit of 17.
Harpreet Singh,
another farmer, said his paddy, too, had high moisture content. He also echoed
similar sentiments regarding two moisture meters showing varied readings.
When contacted, Bathinda Deputy Commissioner
Praneet said the farmers should only go by the moisture meter reading of the
government agency official. He said he was not aware of the rice sheller
representatives also checking moisture content in the grain market.
Meanwhile, there
are reports that Punjab farmers from areas bordering Haryana are selling their
paddy produce in the neighbouring state (Haryana), where they find the scenario
a bit lenient when it comes to procuring paddy with high moisture content.
Sources said farmers from Mansa district were heading with their paddy to
Haryana’s purchase centres like Brahmanwala, Ladhuwas, Babbanpur and Mahindoke,
which were close to the interstate border.
The BKU Ekta
Ugrahan Mansa district president, Ram Singh Bhainibagha, also confirmed the
trend. He said they had even resorted to protest recently after paddy with high
moisture content was not allowed to be unloaded at the Bareta grain market in
Mansa. He warned that more paddy from Punjab would be sold in Haryana, if the
state government did not relax the norms regarding the moisture content.
On the other
hand, Mansa Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait said she had asked the SSP to
enhance vigil at the nakas and ensure that paddy-laden trolleys from Punjab
were not allowed to cross over to Haryana. Besides, she said, they had also
taken up the matter with the Fatehabad Deputy Commissioner, urging him to look
into the matter and also initiate action against the arhtiyas who were
indulging in these practices.
Farmers protest poor facilities in mandis
Muktsar: Irate
over the “poor arrangements” in grain markets, farmers on Saturday lodged a
protest near Jhabelwali village by blocking the Muktsar-Kotkapura highway for
over two hours. They said the state had not made adequate arrangements for
stubble management. They said the rice millers were not lifting paddy citing
high moisture content. tns

Rice imports hurt booming Mwea trade
Oct. 20, 2018, 12:00 am
By AGATHA NGOTHO @agathangotho
Rice farmers in Mwea are losing up Sh4, 000 due to flooded
cheap rice from Asia.
John Kihonge, Mwea Rice Mills manager said farmers in Mwea
are having to compete with cheap rice imports which are selling three time less
than the local rice.
He said while the local pishori rice is selling at Sh6,500,
imported rice from Asia is selling between Sh2,000 to Sh2,500 per 50kg bag.
“Farmers from Mwea area in Kirinyaga County provide 80 percent
of the rice consumed locally, but they are losing out and not benefiting much
due to the imported rice which is three times cheap than the local rice. This
is despite the fact that Kenya's pishori rice is of good quality unlike the
imported one,” he said.
Kihonge said the cost of electricity for milling rice is high
and milling a kilo of rice costs about five shillings.
“Our electricity bill is at Sh800,000 a month and we have a
milling capacity of 40 tonnes per day and we mill for nine to ten hours daily,”
said Kihonge.
According to the ministry of agriculture, in 2017 the country
produced 102, 400 metric tonnes of rice against a demand of 538,370 mts, while
the deficit is at 425, 570 mts.
Innocent Ariemba, Mwea Rice Scheme manager said the expected
harvest this year is about 115,000 mts due to the good rains. "Total rice
production from Mwea is 80,000 metric tonnes and 26,000 acres of land is
currently under rice production in the area," he said.
The Economic Survey 2018, showed that an additional 7,363
hectares of land was placed under rice irrigation in 2017, representing a 50
per cent increase. This was largely attributable to the expansion of acreage in
the out grower areas within the Mwea irrigation scheme.
“Similarly, the number of plot holders practicing irrigation
rose by 25.1 per cent to 16,326 in 2017. Despite the increase in the area
cropped and the increase in the number of plot holders, the volume of total
paddy declined by 20.0 per cent from 90.7 thousand tonnes to 81.2 thousand
tonnes in 2017.This resulted to a 22.5 per cent decrease in gross value of
output from all scheme areas to Sh4.4 billion in the review period,” the survey
stated.
But despite the poor rice prices, the once sleepy town of
Mwea is now a thriving town eking Sh7 billion annually, thanks to the booming
rice business. Statistics from the National Irrigation Board shows
that rice business in Mwea is valued at Sh7 billion, with farmers earning Sh5
billion annually from the sale of paddy.
Ariemba said the trade for hay which began two years ago
is now big business in Kirinyaga County and is valued at Sh400 million.
“Broken rice and other byproducts including rice husks are worth
Sh1.5 billion annually. In total, about Sh7 billion circulates within Mwea town
annually,” said Ariemba while speaking to the media during a field visit to the
Mwea Rice Scheme, which benefits more than 7,000 farmers in Kirinyaga County..
He said rice farming has also led to the upsurge of small rice
mills. In 1969, there was only the Mwea Rice Mill but today, there are about 15
rice mills.
New dam to double income
Ariemba said once the Sh20 billion Mwea Thiba Dam is complete,
farmers will be able to double rice production from the current 80,000 mt to
160,000 mt.
“It will also increase the income from Sh7 bullion to Sh14
billion annually,” he said.
Eng Stephen Mutinda, Thiba Dam project manager said construction
of the dam commenced in March this year and so far they have been able to
mobilise equipment and staff with majority being locals.
“We have also done 99 percent of compensation to the residents
that were moved to pave way for the dam. The dam should be complete within
three years,” he said. About 70 percent of construction of the camp and office
building have been complete.
In December 2017, President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the Sh20
billion dam aimed at doubling production of rive in the Mwea irrigation Scheme
which provides 80 percent of the locally produce rice in Kenya.
‘Rice prices
slowly going down’
Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine
Star) - October 20, 2018 - 12:00am
In
its regular update on palay (unhusked rice), rice and corn prices, the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said the average wholesale price of
well-milled rice on a weekly basis decreased by 1.24 percent to P45.45 per kilo
during the first week of this month.
Michael Varcas
MANILA, Philippines — After
several months of increase, the prices of rice and sugar are slowly going down,
following the arrival of imports and the peak of harvest season, agencies of
the Department of Agriculture (DA) yesterday noted.
In its regular update on palay
(unhusked rice), rice and corn prices, the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) said the average wholesale price of well-milled rice on a weekly basis
decreased by 1.24 percent to P45.45 per kilo during the first week of this
month.
But this is still 16 percent
higher than the P39.24 per kilo level in the same period last year.
Its weekly average retail price
also decreased by a percentage to P49 per kilo, but year-on-year price is up 16
percent.
The wholesale price of
regular-milled rice was P42.64 per kilo, 1.2 percent below the previous week.
Its average retail price also decreased one percent to P45.87 per kilo.
The average price of palay went
down to P21.86 per kilo.
Prices are expected to further go
down as the DA will start enforcing a suggested retail price (SRP) for both
imported and local rice starting Oct. 23.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel
Piñol said rice sold will only be classified as regular milled, well-milled,
premium and special rice.
For imported regular milled rice,
SRP is P37 per kilo while imported well-milled rice is at P40 per kilo.
For local rice, regular milled is
at P39 per kilo and well-milled at P44 per kilo.
SRP for premium rice will still
be discussed while there will be no SRP for special rice.
The SRPs will initially apply to
Metro Manila and nearby provinces in Central and South Luzon.
The SRPs for Northern Luzon,
Bicol, the Visayas and Mindanao will be set by the interagency National Food
Authority (NFA) Council on Oct. 23. Also expected to be decided on will be the
SRPs for supermarkets.
NFA said more farmers are selling
their palay to the grains agency following the buffer stocking incentive of P3
per kilo.
NFA said the extra P3 per kilo
incentive is over and above the agency’s buying price, bringing the agency’s
buying price for clean and dry palay to P20.40 per kilo for individual farmers
and P20.70 per kilo for farmer-cooperatives.
Meanwhile, as sugar imports start
arriving, farm gate price of the commodity has now dropped by nearly 20
percent, the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) reported.
SRA administrator Hermenegildo
Serafica said farm gate price is now at the P1,600-level after breaching the
P2,000 per 50-kilogram mark, or 18 percent lower from prices at the end of
milling season in July.
“Since the start of the milling
season on Sept. 1 and the issuance of the order on sugar imports, prices of
sugar have been on a downward trend,” Serafica said.
To date, 64,475 metric tons out
of the 150,000 MT will start entering the country.
“SRA continues to monitor prices
in the supermarkets and wet markets and those selling higher than prevailing
prices are asked to explain,” Serafica added.
The DA-attached agency has
already started linking supermarkets with mills and refineries for the direct
order of sugar at lower cost.
“I have been speaking to
planters’ associations, planters’ federations and millers and they have agreed
to make their sugar available at their offices to sell directly to the ordinary
consumers at P50 for refined, P45 for washed and P41 for raw,” Serafica said.
SRA is also encouraging planters’
associations to sell directly to the local groceries in their area.
SRA has proposed to impose SRP on
sugar at P55 per kilo, as some markets still sell at a high of P65 per kilo.
Riding out inflation
Malacañang yesterday assured the
public that the country will be able to weather the impact of 6.2 percent
inflation in the third quarter of this year.
President Duterte has been
updated about the inflation rates and he has directed the country’s economic managers
to ensure that rising prices of goods are addressed to ensure food on every
table for the Filipinos, presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said.
“(Duterte’s) marching order
to concerned members of his Cabinet is to ensure that there is food on every
Filipino family’s table,” Panelo said.
Panelo reiterated that the
President has issued orders to temper the prices of goods by removing
non-tariff rates on importations.
“Together with the Filipino
people, we look forward to seeing the results of this decisive action by our
Chief Executive,” Panelo said.
“We are confident that a
disinflationary trend, as per our economic mangers, is about to begin and be
felt by our countrymen this month,” Panelo added, adopting the position of the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Panelo said Malacañang supports
the BSP and the Department of Finance in addressing the issue.
“We agree on the measures it has
undertaken relative to inflation. On our part, the departments concerned have
pushed for measures that cushion the impact of inflation,” Panelo said.
“The President ordered the
liberalization on importation of rice and food supply including fish as well as
chicken by the private sector. By such measure the prices of rice and other
food items have started to taper down and favorable and adequate supply is
assured,” Panelo added.
He noted that the President has
also ordered the formation of composite teams of DA, Department of Trade and
Industry, farmers groups and law enforcement agencies to prevent the diversion
of rice and other food imports from the ports to warehouses.
“Subsidies for oil and gasoline
purchases by the transport sector are also expected to moderate fares,” Panelo
said. “All told, the monetary and non-monetary measures undertaken are
producing the desired effects.” – With Christina Mendez
Labor sector
bucks rice importation
Instead of rice importation, Sancho said that government should
give subsidy to rice farmers like what the governments of Vietnam and China are
doing to sustain the production of our staple food and for the farmers to
survive.
The National Food Authority (NFA) Council approved the standby importation of one million metric tons (MT) of rice for 2019.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, who now serves as the NFA Council head, also announced the entry of an additional 750,000 MT of rice imports for this year.
The move aims to tame the soaring prices of commercial rice in the market.
It is also a stern warning for rice hoarders, according to Piñol. (TDE)

Naogaon,
Oct 20 (UNB) – With the rice imported from neighbouring India selling at lower
prices, the demand for the local varieties is on the decline, pushing 600 rice
mills into closure in the district, said rice mills owners.
The
millers had taken loan of around Tk 500 crore from different banks and
financial institutions for their businesses, but could not repay the loans due
to unwanted fall demand of local variety rice, they said.
Talking
to UNB, millers said there are a total of 1,800 rice mills in the district. Of
them, some 600 have already been closed and 300 facing shotdown.
The
leaders of district Rice Mills Owners Association gave a memorandum to the
Commerce Minister through the deputy commissioner of the district after
organising a press conference in Alupotti area in the district town recently.
At
the press conference, the millers disclosed the information and narrated their
sufferings blaming the ‘unnecessary import’ of rice from the neighbouring
country.
The
millers urged the authorities concerned to immediately stop rice import to save
the industry.
They
also requested the banks and financial institutions to bring down the interest
rate of land to nine percent in accordance with the government decision.
Rafiqul
Islam, president of district Rice Mills Owners’ Association, said the country
experienced food shortage due to natural disaster last year.
“Then
the government slashed the rice import duty to only two percent from 10
percent, opening up doors for the importers to bring huge quantity of rice,” he
said.
The
government fixed nine percent bank interest for loans for industries, but the
local banks are still charging 12 to 14 percent interest from the rice mill
owners, the millers alleged..
Although
the farmers across the country have achieved a bumper yield of rice this year
and have been able to stock enough rice, the government is still continuing
rice import from India, said Rafiqul Islam.
As
a result, around 80 percent of rice mills have already been closed here,
causing huge losses to rice mills owners and employees, he said.
“Rice
growers are also incurring losses due to decline in demand of locally produced
rice,” the leader added.
When
contacted, district food officer Md Abdus Salam said the information over
closure of 80 percent mills is not accurate.
“Except
the automatic rice mills, a section of mill owners do seasonal businesses and
keep their mills closed other time,” he added.

Seizing opportunities for Vietnam’s rice exports

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development, the rice cultivation area accounts for around 60% of the total
area of annual crops and rice production is an important source of income for
roughly nine million rural households in Vietnam.
Vietnam is one of the three largest rice exporters in the
world, with an annual shipment of 5-6 million tonnes to 150 countries and
territories worldwide, bringing in US$2.5 billion.
However, many economic experts have stated that Vietnam’s rice
exports still have many shortcomings. Despite a high export volume, the
quality of rice has yet to met market demands; therefore the export value has
been too low.
Under the Strategy on Vietnam Rice Export Market Development
for 2017-2020, with orientation to 2030, the country will gradually improve
the quality of its exported rice. The annual rice export volume will be
reduced to four million tonnes per year, while the export turnover will
increase US$2.3 billion – US$2.5 billion.
In order to implement the strategy, the Government issued
Decree No.107/2018/ND-CP on rice export businesses and a specific strategy on
the development of the rice export market, to replace Decree
No.109/2010/ND-CP.
On October 11, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in
collaboration with The Rice Trader Magazine, held the 10th World Rice
Conference, with the participation of representatives from hundreds of rice
producers, exporters and importers from 30 countries around the world. The event
demonstrated Vietnam’s important role in coordinating with its foreign
counterparts.
In addition, the rice sector should provide many types of
delicious rice that the markets needs instead of the existing varieties.
Therefore, Vietnamese rice export enterprises need to study, build and
promote the brand of high quality and aromatic rice.
It is also crucial to clarify information and market prices as
well as take measures to promote the export of high quality rice to major
markets. Localities should proactively plan and build high quality rice
production regions and sub-regions, while applying scientific and
technological advances, to serve the fastidious market and take
opportunities, contributing to improving the position of Vietnamese rice in
the world

Sustainability plays crucial role at Two Brooks Rice Farm
Sustainability
is a crucial factor in Two Brooks Farm management.
Abbey, 24, and Lawrence Wagner,25, siblings, checking
rice harvest at Two Brooks Farm in Sumner, Miss. The farm practices
sustainability and offers specialty, Eco-Farm rice.
Abbey Wagner, 24, and her brother Lawrence, 25, representing the
eleventh generation of the family farm, have taken on key management roles on
the farm their father, Mike, started in 1992.
The operation includes about
2,000 acres of rice and 1,000 acres of soybeans. The rice operation includes
conventionally grown long-grain rice as well as acreage devoted to “Eco-Farming
rice.” They also produce specialty rice varieties — Missimati (Mississippi
Basmati), Jasmine and red and black rice. The specialty rice is processed
through the Two Brooks mill and marketed through a few retail outlets and food
distributors.
Abbey explains that their father
grew up on a farm in Missouri, wanted to continue farming, but his dad
said the land there was no longer profitable. He moved to Mississippi and
rented acreage in Bolivar County until he could find land close to home. He
bought the 3,000-acre Two Brooks farm in 1992.
“It is lucky to find that much
acreage in one unit,” explains Abbey.
She also explains that Mike
always wanted to add specialty rice and a marketing opportunity to the
operation. “He wanted to do that for ten years,” she says. “He saved up money
to build the mill.”
They built the mill in 2014. “Dad
had planned for about ten years to add more varieties. That’s been Lawrence’s
project,” Abbey says. “When he graduated from college (Mississippi State
University, business and ag economics), he started working in our rice mill. We
mill about 15 percent of the rice we grow.”
“We run all of our specialty rice
through our mill,” says Lawrence.”
“We’re running the mill every
other week,” says Abbey. “We hope to run it full-time as demand increases.”
They say markets have been good
for Basmati, Jasmine and the red and black rice varieties. “The black rice has
as many anti-oxidants as a handful of blueberries,” Abbey says.
She handles marketing, making use
of her marketing degree from Delta State University.
The operation began as a typical
rice farm, long-grain rice (2,000 acres) and soybeans (about 1,000 acres), and
some Basmati rice. They added Jasmine and then black and red rice.
“The bulk of our acreage is still
long-grain rice and soybeans,” Abbey says. Soybeans are non-GMO and typically
bring a premium.
“We have 1,000 acres of
conventional rice,” adds Lawrence. “We have another 1,000 acres of Eco-Farming
rice. Eco rice is not totally organic,” he explains.
They use zero grade fields for
eco rice and rarely put equipment on the land. They also maintain water on
those fields year-round, except for harvest. Following harvest, they don’t pump
water back onto the fields but allow them to flood with rainfall.
“We see ducks and geese in
greater numbers because of the eco fields,” he says.
The waterfowl are good for the
rice. “We found that those fields had too much nitrogen,” he explains. “We had
some lodging issues, so we cut nitrogen back by about half.” He says ducks and
geese also eat weed seeds, reducing the amount of herbicide they need.
“We see a lot of wildlife on the
eco fields.”
They fly on seed and herbicide in
the eco-farmed fields. “We had to use a ground rig some this year,” Lawrence
says, because of a late start. “It stayed cold too long. If we put rice seed
into cold water, it doesn’t do well. We put on a little herbicide early in the
season to control small weeds until the crop forms a canopy.”
He says 500-acre zero grade
blocks have three levels. They pull water from the Quiver River and the flood
moves from one block and into the other two until all three are flooded. It
stays flooded until harvest. Some years, according to the Two Brooks website
(https://www.twobrooksfarm.com/), natural rainfall is all that’s necessary,
saving water and the energy to pump it.
“We reuse tailwater, using a lift
pump to get surface water to other parts of the farm,” Lawrence says. They
preserve the aquifer, relying on surface water and rainfall.
Saving
Water
Lawrence says the eco farming
practice uses significantly less water than conventional or straight levee
production. Conventional practices will use 36 acre-inches of water. Straight
levees use 22 acre-inches. “The zero grade uses from 16 to 18 acre-inches.
Sometimes we use no more than 6 to 12 acre-inches.”
They have worked with Ducks
Unlimited and Mississippi State University to enhance waterfowl habitat and to
improve the soil. “Mississippi State works with organic matter,” Lawrence says.
“Eco farming versus conventional shows a 6 percent improvement in organic
matter.”
He says recommendations from
Ducks Unlimited include “stuff we were doing already. It fits in naturally.”
He says the eco practices include
fields that have been in rice continuously for 10 to 20 years. “We are able to
maintain yields.”
He says eco-farm yields are
comparable to conventional. “We typically cut from 160 to 170 bushels per acre,
on a par with conventional.”
The Two Brooks website also notes
that continuous rice also acts as a filter to limit runoff and to “make sure
the water that leaves the field is at least as clean as it was when it entered,
especially free of silt and fertilizer.”
Specialty rice (single estate
rice) yields are also comparable. They grow 40 acres each of red and black rice
but plant two plots each, “just in case we lose one. We harvest at separate
times.”
Lawrence says the specialty rice
can make life “miserable,” because they must prevent cross contamination.
“We have to clean planters,
combines, grain carts, and every nook and cranny in the mill after each
variety,” he says. “We spend a half day cleaning after we combine one variety
and before we start on another.”
Keeping weedy red rice out of the
specialty red rice is hard, hot work, says Abbey. “I’ve helped rogue it out by
hand.”
Sustainability
Message
Abbey says the eco-farming
operation and the specialty rice markets fit into their sustainability message.
“A lot of consumers now want different products,” she says. “And many want to
know where their food comes from and how it was grown.”
She brings in a group of chefs,
mostly from the South, but has had interest from New York, to see the
operation, sample different rice products and enjoy the rural setting,
including a duck hunt. “We do that twice a year,” she says.
They have a few retail customers
in nearby towns and are working with several food distributors. “We hope to get
more distributors,” Lawrence says.
“We also hope to capture some of
the market from imports, such as imported Basmati rice.” He says the Basmati
they grow, “Missimati”, is an American Basmati but has the same aroma and taste
as Indian Basmati rice.
They also hope to expand their
specialty rice market. “We have some things to do first,” Abbey says. “We need
to work on sanitation issues and just learn what other regulations we need to
know to expand the market.”
Lawrence says transportation from
the remote farm location is an issue to work through.
“We want to produce a larger
volume of our own milled rice,” he says. “We are working toward that.”
Lawrence and Abbey say Two Brooks
is dedicated to the mission spelled out on their website.
“Our family believes you should
not have to choose between the needs of nature and those of mankind, and our
unique rice cultivation system conscientiously attends each by balancing nature
with needs.”

Growing Rice With
Seawater Could Feed ‘Entire Arab McKinley Corbley

A successful experiment in the
deserts of Dubai may promise to curb hunger around the world.
A team of Chinese scientists has
managed to develop a specific strain of rice that grows in saltwater. Not only
that, it yields far more rice than the average freshwater-dependent strains.
Back in January, the researchers
were invited by representatives of the United Arab Emirates to plant some of
the salt-tolerant rice in different patches of the desert where water is too
precious to waste on crops that depend on such intense hydration.
After five months of growth,
severals strains of the modified rice yielded as much as 7.8 tons of food per
hectare. For comparison, the global average stands at 3.3 tons per hectare.
The researchers from the Qingdao
Saltwater Rice Research and Development Center are continuing the project by
launching an experimental 100-hectare saltwater rice farm in 2019 that will
evaluate the costs of production and different farming techniques. They hope to
then accelerate their rate of production by 2020.
Their longterm goal is to cover
up to 10% of the UAE with the saltwater rice paddies – and if the technology
proves to be consistently successful in Dubai’s harsh agricultural climate,
then the farms could “feed the entire Arab world.”
According to Yuan Longping, the
“father of hybrid rice” and leader of the research institute, there are over
386,000 square miles (1 million kilometers) of land in China that is currently
going unused due to the high salt content of the soil.
By planting his specially
developed saltwater rice on just one-tenth of this land,
it would boost the nation’s food production by 20% – which is enough to feed
over 200 million people
Scientists develop improved variety of Mologolukulu rice
Improved rice variety of NLR
3186 in field trails.
Nellore: In an ambitious move to restore
the past glory of the most sought after Nellore Mologolukulu rice variety,
Acharya N.G. Ranga Agriculture Research Station in Nellore has been paying
special attention to develop the variety further.
It
is no hyperbole to state that Nellore became very popular for rice because of
the Mologolukulu variety which was cultivated in a big way a few decades back.
The reasons for the entire farming community opting for this variety in the
past were its quality, taste and nutrition value.
However,
the long duration of the crop, requirement of huge quantity of water, and
people’s preference for slender varieties of rice pushed Molagolukulu to the
backyard over the years. Most of the farming community across the district also
opted out of this variety as it became prone to blast disease (aggi tegulu).
In
this backdrop, Nellore Agriculture Research Station started developing the
variety with focus on eliminating its weak points. They came out with a
Molagolukulu variety known as NLR 3186 last year. The scientists are buoyed
over the field trials carried out all over the state during the last Kharif
season.
The
duration of the 3186 crop was brought down to 150 days as against 170 days in
the past. Scientists also rectified its lodging nature and made it blast
tolerant without tip sterility, unlike previous varieties of Molagolukulu.
"The
cooking quality of the medium slender grain culture is as good as its
predecessors,” said D. Kodandarami Reddy, principal scientist of the
Agriculture Research Station. "It is suitable for the Kharif season and
farmers got good yields when they raised the variety last year," said Ms.
Sri Lakshmi, ARS scientist. She said farmers were also coming forward to raise
another rice culture known as NLR 3217 developed in their research station. It
is a short duration rice culture with medium slender grain having resistance to
blast, tolerance to sheath blight, sheath rot, brown spot and Tungro disease.
Superior
varieties fall prey to malpractices by millers
Popular
rice varieties developed at the agriculture research station are hit by the
malpractices of the rice millers.
Instead
of marketing the variety with its number or name christened by the Agriculture
Research Station at Nellore, the millers and traders have been mixing them in
costly varieties after buying them for a meagre price to make a fast buck.
For
instance, an excellent variety developed and released under the name NLR 34449
(Nellore Mashuri) is high yielding, fine grain, blast resistant and responsive
to high applied nitrogen and the yields are to the extent of 8 to 10
tonnes/hectare.
The
area under this variety is increasing year after year and it is estimated that
this variety occupies about 6 lakh hectares in the state.
However,
the variety is largely used by traders and millers for mixing with another most
sought after rice type, BPT 5204. One of the reasons for this is similarities
between the appearance of the grain as well as cost difference.
While
the cost of BPT 5204 is around Rs 19,000 for putti (850 kg), the cost of NLR
34449 is around Rs 15,000, which means Rs 4000 is pocketed for every putti
without any hassles.
The
traders use a steaming process at parboiled rice mills to prevent consumers
from identifying the mixing. The technique also helps them to market the
recently harvested grains as one or two year old rice.
When
contacted, president of Nellore Rice Millers and Traders Association, Nagireddy
Subhramanyam Reddy, said some traders and few small time rice millers had been
adopting such malpractices because of competition in the market and deceiving
the consumers.
He
added that those marketing branded rice would not follow such deceptive
practices.
"Though
everyone concerned is aware of the wrongdoings, no one takes any action because
it is very difficult to prove the mixing carried out with the steaming
technique" an official of Agriculture Research Station said.
Day after clash with farmers, rice millers
continue strike
Want
case registered against paddy growers too
Archit Watts
Tribune News Service
Malout, October 20
A day after a clash between some farmers and
rice mills’ executives at the local grain market, the latter on Saturday
continued their strike seeking action against the former.
Agitated over
the registration of a case against two rice millers and over 15 unidentified
persons, they announced to continue their strike till the farmers were booked.
Notably, the rice millers of Malout on Friday
had suspended the unloading of paddy at their mills. Meanwhile on Saturday,
they met the Deputy Commissioner, the SSP and the SDM seeking action against
the farmers.
Prem Kumar
Goyal, president, Rice Millers’ Association, Malout, said, “We have sought
action against the farmers who started the scuffle. The SSP and the district
administration have assured us that an inquiry into the case registered against
us would be marked. Further, the farmers will be booked on the complaint of our
executives.”
Notably, the
clash took place on Friday at the grain market when some farmers allegedly
misbehaved with the purchaser of a rice mill, passed casteist remarks and
thrashed him.
On the other
hand, farmers said the rice millers had rejected the paddy procured by a
government agency citing high moisture content and ordered unloading of bags,
which led to an altercation and the turban of one of them was also tossed in
the air.
The local police
have booked Prem Kumar Goyal, Amritpal Singh Dhillon and over 15 unidentified
persons under Sections 451, 341, 323, 506, 148 and 149 of the IPC on the
complaint of Lakhwinder Singh of Enakhera village near here.
Local MLA Ajaib
Singh Bhatti on Friday marked a probe into the incident to the SDM and the SP.
If the unloading
of paddy remained suspended till Monday, it may lead to a glut in the mandis as
this is the peak season and farmers are bringing their produce in large numbers
daily.

Bathinda, October 20
Farmers are
having a tough time in the region’s grain markets due to high moisture content
in their paddy produce while they allege that moisture meters of the purchase
agencies have only added to their woes.
Talking to The
Tribune, Darshan Singh, a farmer from Jassi Pauwali village, said, “I have been
waiting for the purchase of my paddy for the last five days, but the agencies
are saying its moisture content is high. The procurement agency and rice
sheller representatives, armed with separate moisture meters, had come to
purchase it a couple of days ago. However, both the meters were showing
different readings. While one of them showed moisture content at 22, the other
put the figure at 26. I am clueless what to do now.”
He said he had been drying up his paddy in the
sunlight for the last four days and it seemed completely dry to him. He was now
waiting for the moisture content to dip to the permissible limit of 17.
Harpreet Singh,
another farmer, said his paddy, too, had high moisture content. He also echoed
similar sentiments regarding two moisture meters showing varied readings.
When contacted, Bathinda Deputy Commissioner
Praneet said the farmers should only go by the moisture meter reading of the
government agency official. He said he was not aware of the rice sheller
representatives also checking moisture content in the grain market.
Meanwhile, there
are reports that Punjab farmers from areas bordering Haryana are selling their
paddy produce in the neighbouring state (Haryana), where they find the scenario
a bit lenient when it comes to procuring paddy with high moisture content.
Sources said farmers from Mansa district were heading with their paddy to
Haryana’s purchase centres like Brahmanwala, Ladhuwas, Babbanpur and Mahindoke,
which were close to the interstate border.
The BKU Ekta
Ugrahan Mansa district president, Ram Singh Bhainibagha, also confirmed the
trend. He said they had even resorted to protest recently after paddy with high
moisture content was not allowed to be unloaded at the Bareta grain market in
Mansa. He warned that more paddy from Punjab would be sold in Haryana, if the
state government did not relax the norms regarding the moisture content.
On the other
hand, Mansa Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait said she had asked the SSP to
enhance vigil at the nakas and ensure that paddy-laden trolleys from Punjab
were not allowed to cross over to Haryana. Besides, she said, they had also
taken up the matter with the Fatehabad Deputy Commissioner, urging him to look
into the matter and also initiate action against the arhtiyas who were
indulging in these practices.
Farmers protest poor facilities in mandis
Muktsar: Irate
over the “poor arrangements” in grain markets, farmers on Saturday lodged a
protest near Jhabelwali village by blocking the Muktsar-Kotkapura highway for
over two hours. They said the state had not made adequate arrangements for

high moisture content. tns

Rice imports hurt booming Mwea trade
Oct. 20, 2018, 12:00 am
By AGATHA NGOTHO @agathangotho
Supervisor Henry Mwaura and Lucy Wambui at the Mwea
Rice Mills, Kirinyaga, on Thursday /AGATHA NGOTHO
Rice farmers in Mwea are losing up Sh4, 000 due to flooded
cheap rice from Asia.
John Kihonge, Mwea Rice Mills manager said farmers in Mwea
are having to compete with cheap rice imports which are selling three time less
than the local rice.
He said while the local pishori rice is selling at Sh6,500,
imported rice from Asia is selling between Sh2,000 to Sh2,500 per 50kg bag.
“Farmers from Mwea area in Kirinyaga County provide 80 percent
of the rice consumed locally, but they are losing out and not benefiting much
due to the imported rice which is three times cheap than the local rice. This
is despite the fact that Kenya's pishori rice is of good quality unlike the
imported one,” he said.
Kihonge said the cost of electricity for milling rice is high
and milling a kilo of rice costs about five shillings.
“Our electricity bill is at Sh800,000 a month and we have a
milling capacity of 40 tonnes per day and we mill for nine to ten hours daily,”
said Kihonge.
According to the ministry of agriculture, in 2017 the country
produced 102, 400 metric tonnes of rice against a demand of 538,370 mts, while
the deficit is at 425, 570 mts.
Innocent Ariemba, Mwea Rice Scheme manager said the expected
harvest this year is about 115,000 mts due to the good rains. "Total rice
production from Mwea is 80,000 metric tonnes and 26,000 acres of land is
currently under rice production in the area," he said.
The Economic Survey 2018, showed that an additional 7,363
hectares of land was placed under rice irrigation in 2017, representing a 50
per cent increase. This was largely attributable to the expansion of acreage in
the out grower areas within the Mwea irrigation scheme.
“Similarly, the number of plot holders practicing irrigation
rose by 25.1 per cent to 16,326 in 2017. Despite the increase in the area
cropped and the increase in the number of plot holders, the volume of total
paddy declined by 20.0 per cent from 90.7 thousand tonnes to 81.2 thousand
tonnes in 2017.This resulted to a 22.5 per cent decrease in gross value of
output from all scheme areas to Sh4.4 billion in the review period,” the survey
stated.
But despite the poor rice prices, the once sleepy town of
Mwea is now a thriving town eking Sh7 billion annually, thanks to the booming
rice business. Statistics from the National Irrigation Board shows
that rice business in Mwea is valued at Sh7 billion, with farmers earning Sh5
billion annually from the sale of paddy.
Ariemba said the trade for hay which began two years ago
is now big business in Kirinyaga County and is valued at Sh400 million.
“Broken rice and other byproducts including rice husks are worth
Sh1.5 billion annually. In total, about Sh7 billion circulates within Mwea town
annually,” said Ariemba while speaking to the media during a field visit to the
Mwea Rice Scheme, which benefits more than 7,000 farmers in Kirinyaga County..
He said rice farming has also led to the upsurge of small rice
mills. In 1969, there was only the Mwea Rice Mill but today, there are about 15
rice mills.
New dam to double income
Ariemba said once the Sh20 billion Mwea Thiba Dam is complete,
farmers will be able to double rice production from the current 80,000 mt to
160,000 mt.
“It will also increase the income from Sh7 bullion to Sh14
billion annually,” he said.
Eng Stephen Mutinda, Thiba Dam project manager said construction
of the dam commenced in March this year and so far they have been able to
mobilise equipment and staff with majority being locals.
“We have also done 99 percent of compensation to the residents
that were moved to pave way for the dam. The dam should be complete within
three years,” he said. About 70 percent of construction of the camp and office
building have been complete.
In December 2017, President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the Sh20
billion dam aimed at doubling production of rive in the Mwea irrigation Scheme
which provides 80 percent of the locally produce rice in Kenya.
‘Rice prices
slowly going down’
Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine
Star) - October 20, 2018 - 12:00am
In
its regular update on palay (unhusked rice), rice and corn prices, the
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said the average wholesale price of
well-milled rice on a weekly basis decreased by 1.24 percent to P45.45 per kilo
during the first week of this month.
Michael Varcas
MANILA, Philippines — After
several months of increase, the prices of rice and sugar are slowly going down,
following the arrival of imports and the peak of harvest season, agencies of
the Department of Agriculture (DA) yesterday noted.
In its regular update on palay
(unhusked rice), rice and corn prices, the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) said the average wholesale price of well-milled rice on a weekly basis
decreased by 1.24 percent to P45.45 per kilo during the first week of this
month.
But this is still 16 percent
higher than the P39.24 per kilo level in the same period last year.
Its weekly average retail price
also decreased by a percentage to P49 per kilo, but year-on-year price is up 16
percent.
The wholesale price of
regular-milled rice was P42.64 per kilo, 1.2 percent below the previous week.
Its average retail price also decreased one percent to P45.87 per kilo.
The average price of palay went
down to P21.86 per kilo.
Prices are expected to further go
down as the DA will start enforcing a suggested retail price (SRP) for both
imported and local rice starting Oct. 23.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel
Piñol said rice sold will only be classified as regular milled, well-milled,
premium and special rice.
For imported regular milled rice,
SRP is P37 per kilo while imported well-milled rice is at P40 per kilo.
For local rice, regular milled is
at P39 per kilo and well-milled at P44 per kilo.
SRP for premium rice will still
be discussed while there will be no SRP for special rice.
The SRPs will initially apply to
Metro Manila and nearby provinces in Central and South Luzon.
The SRPs for Northern Luzon,
Bicol, the Visayas and Mindanao will be set by the interagency National Food
Authority (NFA) Council on Oct. 23. Also expected to be decided on will be the
SRPs for supermarkets.
NFA said more farmers are selling
their palay to the grains agency following the buffer stocking incentive of P3
per kilo.
NFA said the extra P3 per kilo
incentive is over and above the agency’s buying price, bringing the agency’s
buying price for clean and dry palay to P20.40 per kilo for individual farmers
and P20.70 per kilo for farmer-cooperatives.
Meanwhile, as sugar imports start
arriving, farm gate price of the commodity has now dropped by nearly 20
percent, the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) reported.
SRA administrator Hermenegildo
Serafica said farm gate price is now at the P1,600-level after breaching the
P2,000 per 50-kilogram mark, or 18 percent lower from prices at the end of
milling season in July.
“Since the start of the milling
season on Sept. 1 and the issuance of the order on sugar imports, prices of
sugar have been on a downward trend,” Serafica said.
To date, 64,475 metric tons out
of the 150,000 MT will start entering the country.
“SRA continues to monitor prices
in the supermarkets and wet markets and those selling higher than prevailing
prices are asked to explain,” Serafica added.
The DA-attached agency has
already started linking supermarkets with mills and refineries for the direct
order of sugar at lower cost.
“I have been speaking to
planters’ associations, planters’ federations and millers and they have agreed
to make their sugar available at their offices to sell directly to the ordinary
consumers at P50 for refined, P45 for washed and P41 for raw,” Serafica said.
SRA is also encouraging planters’
associations to sell directly to the local groceries in their area.
SRA has proposed to impose SRP on
sugar at P55 per kilo, as some markets still sell at a high of P65 per kilo.
Riding out inflation
Malacañang yesterday assured the
public that the country will be able to weather the impact of 6.2 percent
inflation in the third quarter of this year.
President Duterte has been
updated about the inflation rates and he has directed the country’s economic managers
to ensure that rising prices of goods are addressed to ensure food on every
table for the Filipinos, presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said.
“(Duterte’s) marching order
to concerned members of his Cabinet is to ensure that there is food on every
Filipino family’s table,” Panelo said.
Panelo reiterated that the
President has issued orders to temper the prices of goods by removing
non-tariff rates on importations.
“Together with the Filipino
people, we look forward to seeing the results of this decisive action by our
Chief Executive,” Panelo said.
“We are confident that a
disinflationary trend, as per our economic mangers, is about to begin and be
felt by our countrymen this month,” Panelo added, adopting the position of the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Panelo said Malacañang supports
the BSP and the Department of Finance in addressing the issue.
“We agree on the measures it has
undertaken relative to inflation. On our part, the departments concerned have
pushed for measures that cushion the impact of inflation,” Panelo said.
“The President ordered the
liberalization on importation of rice and food supply including fish as well as
chicken by the private sector. By such measure the prices of rice and other
food items have started to taper down and favorable and adequate supply is
assured,” Panelo added.
He noted that the President has
also ordered the formation of composite teams of DA, Department of Trade and
Industry, farmers groups and law enforcement agencies to prevent the diversion
of rice and other food imports from the ports to warehouses.
“Subsidies for oil and gasoline
purchases by the transport sector are also expected to moderate fares,” Panelo
said. “All told, the monetary and non-monetary measures undertaken are
producing the desired effects.” – With Christina Mendez
Labor sector
bucks rice importation
Instead of rice importation, Sancho said that government should
give subsidy to rice farmers like what the governments of Vietnam and China are
doing to sustain the production of our staple food and for the farmers to
survive.
The National Food Authority (NFA) Council approved the standby importation of one million metric tons (MT) of rice for 2019.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, who now serves as the NFA Council head, also announced the entry of an additional 750,000 MT of rice imports for this year.
The move aims to tame the soaring prices of commercial rice in the market.
It is also a stern warning for rice hoarders, according to Piñol. (TDE)

Naogaon,
Oct 20 (UNB) – With the rice imported from neighbouring India selling at lower
prices, the demand for the local varieties is on the decline, pushing 600 rice
mills into closure in the district, said rice mills owners.
The
millers had taken loan of around Tk 500 crore from different banks and
financial institutions for their businesses, but could not repay the loans due
to unwanted fall demand of local variety rice, they said.
Talking
to UNB, millers said there are a total of 1,800 rice mills in the district. Of
them, some 600 have already been closed and 300 facing shotdown.
The
leaders of district Rice Mills Owners Association gave a memorandum to the
Commerce Minister through the deputy commissioner of the district after
organising a press conference in Alupotti area in the district town recently.
At
the press conference, the millers disclosed the information and narrated their
sufferings blaming the ‘unnecessary import’ of rice from the neighbouring
country.
The
millers urged the authorities concerned to immediately stop rice import to save
the industry.
They
also requested the banks and financial institutions to bring down the interest
rate of land to nine percent in accordance with the government decision.
Rafiqul
Islam, president of district Rice Mills Owners’ Association, said the country
experienced food shortage due to natural disaster last year.
“Then
the government slashed the rice import duty to only two percent from 10
percent, opening up doors for the importers to bring huge quantity of rice,” he
said.
The
government fixed nine percent bank interest for loans for industries, but the
local banks are still charging 12 to 14 percent interest from the rice mill
owners, the millers alleged..
Although
the farmers across the country have achieved a bumper yield of rice this year
and have been able to stock enough rice, the government is still continuing
rice import from India, said Rafiqul Islam.
As
a result, around 80 percent of rice mills have already been closed here,
causing huge losses to rice mills owners and employees, he said.
“Rice
growers are also incurring losses due to decline in demand of locally produced
rice,” the leader added.
When
contacted, district food officer Md Abdus Salam said the information over
closure of 80 percent mills is not accurate.
“Except
the automatic rice mills, a section of mill owners do seasonal businesses and
keep their mills closed other time,” he added.

Seizing opportunities for Vietnam’s rice exports

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development, the rice cultivation area accounts for around 60% of the total
area of annual crops and rice production is an important source of income for
roughly nine million rural households in Vietnam.
Vietnam is one of the three largest rice exporters in the
world, with an annual shipment of 5-6 million tonnes to 150 countries and
territories worldwide, bringing in US$2.5 billion.
However, many economic experts have stated that Vietnam’s rice
exports still have many shortcomings. Despite a high export volume, the
quality of rice has yet to met market demands; therefore the export value has
been too low.
Under the Strategy on Vietnam Rice Export Market Development
for 2017-2020, with orientation to 2030, the country will gradually improve
the quality of its exported rice. The annual rice export volume will be
reduced to four million tonnes per year, while the export turnover will
increase US$2.3 billion – US$2.5 billion.
In order to implement the strategy, the Government issued
Decree No.107/2018/ND-CP on rice export businesses and a specific strategy on
the development of the rice export market, to replace Decree
No.109/2010/ND-CP.
On October 11, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in
collaboration with The Rice Trader Magazine, held the 10th World Rice
Conference, with the participation of representatives from hundreds of rice
producers, exporters and importers from 30 countries around the world. The event
demonstrated Vietnam’s important role in coordinating with its foreign
counterparts.
In addition, the rice sector should provide many types of
delicious rice that the markets needs instead of the existing varieties.
Therefore, Vietnamese rice export enterprises need to study, build and
promote the brand of high quality and aromatic rice.
It is also crucial to clarify information and market prices as
well as take measures to promote the export of high quality rice to major
markets. Localities should proactively plan and build high quality rice
production regions and sub-regions, while applying scientific and
technological advances, to serve the fastidious market and take
opportunities, contributing to improving the position of Vietnamese rice in
the world

Sustainability plays crucial role at Two Brooks Rice Farm
Sustainability
is a crucial factor in Two Brooks Farm management.
Abbey, 24, and Lawrence Wagner,25, siblings, checking
rice harvest at Two Brooks Farm in Sumner, Miss. The farm practices
sustainability and offers specialty, Eco-Farm rice.
Abbey Wagner, 24, and her brother Lawrence, 25, representing the
eleventh generation of the family farm, have taken on key management roles on
the farm their father, Mike, started in 1992.
The operation includes about
2,000 acres of rice and 1,000 acres of soybeans. The rice operation includes
conventionally grown long-grain rice as well as acreage devoted to “Eco-Farming
rice.” They also produce specialty rice varieties — Missimati (Mississippi
Basmati), Jasmine and red and black rice. The specialty rice is processed
through the Two Brooks mill and marketed through a few retail outlets and food
distributors.
Abbey explains that their father
grew up on a farm in Missouri, wanted to continue farming, but his dad
said the land there was no longer profitable. He moved to Mississippi and
rented acreage in Bolivar County until he could find land close to home. He
bought the 3,000-acre Two Brooks farm in 1992.
“It is lucky to find that much
acreage in one unit,” explains Abbey.
She also explains that Mike
always wanted to add specialty rice and a marketing opportunity to the
operation. “He wanted to do that for ten years,” she says. “He saved up money
to build the mill.”
They built the mill in 2014. “Dad
had planned for about ten years to add more varieties. That’s been Lawrence’s
project,” Abbey says. “When he graduated from college (Mississippi State
University, business and ag economics), he started working in our rice mill. We
mill about 15 percent of the rice we grow.”
“We run all of our specialty rice
through our mill,” says Lawrence.”
“We’re running the mill every
other week,” says Abbey. “We hope to run it full-time as demand increases.”
They say markets have been good
for Basmati, Jasmine and the red and black rice varieties. “The black rice has
as many anti-oxidants as a handful of blueberries,” Abbey says.
She handles marketing, making use
of her marketing degree from Delta State University.
The operation began as a typical
rice farm, long-grain rice (2,000 acres) and soybeans (about 1,000 acres), and
some Basmati rice. They added Jasmine and then black and red rice.
“The bulk of our acreage is still
long-grain rice and soybeans,” Abbey says. Soybeans are non-GMO and typically
bring a premium.
“We have 1,000 acres of
conventional rice,” adds Lawrence. “We have another 1,000 acres of Eco-Farming
rice. Eco rice is not totally organic,” he explains.
They use zero grade fields for
eco rice and rarely put equipment on the land. They also maintain water on
those fields year-round, except for harvest. Following harvest, they don’t pump
water back onto the fields but allow them to flood with rainfall.
“We see ducks and geese in
greater numbers because of the eco fields,” he says.
The waterfowl are good for the
rice. “We found that those fields had too much nitrogen,” he explains. “We had
some lodging issues, so we cut nitrogen back by about half.” He says ducks and
geese also eat weed seeds, reducing the amount of herbicide they need.
“We see a lot of wildlife on the
eco fields.”
They fly on seed and herbicide in
the eco-farmed fields. “We had to use a ground rig some this year,” Lawrence
says, because of a late start. “It stayed cold too long. If we put rice seed
into cold water, it doesn’t do well. We put on a little herbicide early in the
season to control small weeds until the crop forms a canopy.”
He says 500-acre zero grade
blocks have three levels. They pull water from the Quiver River and the flood
moves from one block and into the other two until all three are flooded. It
stays flooded until harvest. Some years, according to the Two Brooks website
(https://www.twobrooksfarm.com/), natural rainfall is all that’s necessary,
saving water and the energy to pump it.
“We reuse tailwater, using a lift
pump to get surface water to other parts of the farm,” Lawrence says. They
preserve the aquifer, relying on surface water and rainfall.
Saving
Water
Lawrence says the eco farming
practice uses significantly less water than conventional or straight levee
production. Conventional practices will use 36 acre-inches of water. Straight
levees use 22 acre-inches. “The zero grade uses from 16 to 18 acre-inches.
Sometimes we use no more than 6 to 12 acre-inches.”
They have worked with Ducks
Unlimited and Mississippi State University to enhance waterfowl habitat and to
improve the soil. “Mississippi State works with organic matter,” Lawrence says.
“Eco farming versus conventional shows a 6 percent improvement in organic
matter.”
He says recommendations from
Ducks Unlimited include “stuff we were doing already. It fits in naturally.”
He says the eco practices include
fields that have been in rice continuously for 10 to 20 years. “We are able to
maintain yields.”
He says eco-farm yields are
comparable to conventional. “We typically cut from 160 to 170 bushels per acre,
on a par with conventional.”
The Two Brooks website also notes
that continuous rice also acts as a filter to limit runoff and to “make sure
the water that leaves the field is at least as clean as it was when it entered,
especially free of silt and fertilizer.”
Specialty rice (single estate
rice) yields are also comparable. They grow 40 acres each of red and black rice
but plant two plots each, “just in case we lose one. We harvest at separate
times.”
Lawrence says the specialty rice
can make life “miserable,” because they must prevent cross contamination.
“We have to clean planters,
combines, grain carts, and every nook and cranny in the mill after each
variety,” he says. “We spend a half day cleaning after we combine one variety
and before we start on another.”
Keeping weedy red rice out of the
specialty red rice is hard, hot work, says Abbey. “I’ve helped rogue it out by
hand.”
Sustainability
Message
Abbey says the eco-farming
operation and the specialty rice markets fit into their sustainability message.
“A lot of consumers now want different products,” she says. “And many want to
know where their food comes from and how it was grown.”
She brings in a group of chefs,
mostly from the South, but has had interest from New York, to see the
operation, sample different rice products and enjoy the rural setting,
including a duck hunt. “We do that twice a year,” she says.
They have a few retail customers
in nearby towns and are working with several food distributors. “We hope to get
more distributors,” Lawrence says.
“We also hope to capture some of
the market from imports, such as imported Basmati rice.” He says the Basmati
they grow, “Missimati”, is an American Basmati but has the same aroma and taste
as Indian Basmati rice.
They also hope to expand their
specialty rice market. “We have some things to do first,” Abbey says. “We need
to work on sanitation issues and just learn what other regulations we need to
know to expand the market.”
Lawrence says transportation from
the remote farm location is an issue to work through.
“We want to produce a larger
volume of our own milled rice,” he says. “We are working toward that.”
Lawrence and Abbey say Two Brooks
is dedicated to the mission spelled out on their website.
“Our family believes you should
not have to choose between the needs of nature and those of mankind, and our
unique rice cultivation system conscientiously attends each by balancing nature
with needs.”

Why
Indian cooks are embracing the Instant Pot
Want to make a complex, fragrant biryani in under half an hour on a weeknight?
The Instant Pot, which is gaining a huge audience among Indian home cooks,
might be your answer.
Share story
There she’d be in the sitting room, snuggled up with a Hanuman comic book, “and it would come out of nowhere, this high-pitched shriek,” she said — a periodic wail like an oncoming train crossed with a gym teacher’s whistle and a mating cat.
This was the sound of the traditional stovetop pressure cooker, a fixture in Indian kitchens for decades.
The electric pressure cooker Ram was using on a recent evening to sauté onions and green chile in her Chicago apartment, on the other hand, would be a much calmer experience. It cooks more evenly and efficiently, without the stovetop pot’s noisy need to let off steam.
The recipe is from Ram’s forthcoming book, “The Complete Indian Instant Pot Cookbook” (Robert Rose, 2018). Hers is one of nearly a dozen Indian cookbooks geared toward the electric pressure cooker that have appeared in the last year. The first one, “Indian Instant Pot” by Urvashi Pitre (creator of a viral butter chicken recipe), has sold more than 100,000 copies.
Of all the genres of electric pressure-cooker cookbooks, there are more for Indian food than for any other cuisine. More than keto. More than paleo. More than vegan.
There are six separate Indian Instant Pot Facebook groups with a combined membership of almost 200,000. And, according to Yi Qin, vice president of products at Instant Brands, across all of the million-plus member Instant Pot Facebook communities, Indian users are among the most active about posting recipes and images.
Kormas, biryanis, dals and curries are particularly well suited to the moist environment of a pressurized pot, and Indian home cooks have made use of the stovetop cooker for generations. The electric version makes cooking these dishes even more convenient, streamlining the process and often eliminating the need for several different pots and pans. And without the whistle, it’s quieter.
Indian electric pressure-cooker books are so popular that even Knopf Doubleday — a publishing house not generally known for appliance cookbooks — is releasing one by author and actor Madhur Jaffrey: “Madhur Jaffrey’s Essential Indian Instant Pot Cookbook” (coming in May 2019).
ADVERTISING
“It’s an interesting moment for Knopf,” the book’s editor, Lexy Bloom, said,
“It’s our first Instant Pot cookbook, and we are marketing it to several
communities. There are people who are already familiar with the Instant Pot and
want to go deeper, the people who love Indian food but are looking for easier,
faster recipes, and then fans of Madhur.”Jaffrey had never used an electric pressure cooker before writing the book, but, like most cooks from India, where the Instant Pot has not officially been rolled out, she was well versed in the whistling stovetop kind.
“I do not know when pressure cookers found such wide usage in India, but they have been firmly entrenched in Indian kitchens for at least 40 years,” she wrote in an email. “When people give you a recipe they say: ‘Cook it for two whistles,’ or ‘Cook it for three whistles,’ and everyone understands what they mean.”
For example, a typical recipe for rajma, spiced red kidney beans, will call for soaking the beans overnight, then cooking them for three or four whistles. In an electric pressure cooker, that translates to 30 minutes, no soaking.
It took some trial and error to convert Jaffrey’s classic Indian recipes to an electric pressure cooker — even those she was already making in a stovetop model — and figure out which settings (pressure, steam, sauté, slow cook) worked best for each particular recipe.
“This is an Instant Pot,” she wrote. “It is not a Magic Pot. It will make food for you but, rather like a computer, you have to create the programming that gives you the perfect dish.”
When Pitre was writing her cookbook, her goal was to make the recipes faster, simpler and more accessible to a wide variety of cooks.
“I wanted to use the science behind pressure cooking to make Indian food easier,” she said.
She tested and retested, taking out steps to see if the dishes ended up tasting just as good without them. Now she rarely browns her onions or her meats before pressure-cooking them. And instead of creating a custom spice blend for many recipes, she substitutes garam masala, which is easy to find in any large supermarket.
“My audience is non-Indians who love Indian food, and second-generation Indians who want to cook Indian food but are intimidated,” she said, adding: “The Indian audience has been my hardest audience to crack. They look at the recipes and say, that’s not traditional.”
For some second-generation Indian cooks, the notion of using a stovetop pressure cooker as their parents and grandparents did was a barrier to cooking Indian food.
Riya Patel, a 22-year-old research lead for a tech accelerator in Washington, D.C., was given an Instant Pot when she graduated from college.
“All of my Indian friends who graduated got one from their moms, so they would cook more Indian food,” she said, adding that she would never use a stovetop cooker.
“I was in charge of counting the whistles,” she said. “It was one of the worst sounds of my childhood. It still freaks me out.”
Now with her Instant Pot, she cooks dishes like rajma, lamb keema, and biryani much more often because, she said, “What used to take four hours now takes five minutes, and I don’t need to supervise it.”
For Ram, who grew up in Kentucky and never felt Indian enough when she visited her family in Visakhapatnam, on the Bay of Bengal, not owning a stovetop pressure cooker was yet another thing that separated her from her cousins.
“I always thought pressure cookers were unreliable,” she said. “I’ve seen one explode, so there was an element of danger. Even though my cousins thought they were perfectly normal and used them all the time.”
Her Instant Pot changed all that, encouraging her to delve deeper into the recipes her family in India would cook and to adapt them to her own, Indian-American tastes. In her cookbook, there are very personal recipes like corn ki subzi (think Southern-style creamed corn with Gujarati spices) alongside traditional dishes like rogan josh (lamb stewed with yogurt and spices) and dal makhani (creamy spiced lentils).
“The Instant Pot made this big part of my culture accessible to me,” she said. “Before I got my Instant Pot, I felt like I was cooking dumbed-down Indian food. Now I feel like I’m doing the real thing.”
Pressure
Cooker Shrimp Biryani
6
servingsIngredients:
2 cups basmati rice
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 Serrano chile, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chile powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 fresh curry leaves, torn into pieces
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 or fewer per pound, see note), peeled and deveined
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more wedges for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Steps:
1. Place the rice in a bowl and cover with 2 cups water. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse.
2. Heat oil in the pot of an electric pressure cooker with the sauté function set on high, until oil is shimmering. Add onion; cook for about 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in Serrano chile, ginger, garlic, salt, chile powder, turmeric, paprika and curry leaves; cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Stir in boiling water; using a wooden spoon, stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Stir in soaked rice, shrimp and tomatoes (with juice).
4. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Quick-release the pressure, stir lime juice into the rice, then cover the pressure cooker with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Give rice a stir, then taste and add more salt, if needed. Transfer to a platter, garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Note: Make sure to use jumbo shrimp or larger for this recipe. Look for “16/20” or “U/15” on the package; this indicates how many shrimp there are per pound.
You could cut the calories in your
rice in half with one simple trick, study says Laura Abernethy
Sunday 21 Oct 2018 4:08 pm Share
this article via facebookShare this article via twitterShare this article via
messenger 24 SHARES (Picture: Maximilian Stock Ltd/Getty Images) Rice can be
the perfect accompaniment to many dishes – but it’s not exactly the healthiest
choice. Scientists, however, are developing a way to cut the calorie content by
half. A normal cup of rice contains around 240 calories but by adding a
teaspoon of coconut oil to the water before cooking it and then refrigerating
the food for 12 hours after cooking, you can cut that.
Starch can be digestible or indigestible, also
known as resistant starch. The researchers reasoned that if they could
transform digestible starch into resistant starch, then that could lower the
number of usable calories of the rice. Unlike digestible types of starch,
resistant starch is not broken down in the small intestine, where carbohydrates
normally are metabolised into glucose and other simple sugars and absorbed into
the bloodstream. The research, which was presented in 2015 at the 249th
National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS),
involved looking at 38 different rice from Sri Lanka.
(Picture: Izumi T/Getty Images) By
adding the oil to the water, before adding half a cup of rice, simmering for 40
minutes and then refrigerating for 12 hours, they found there was 10 times more
resistant starch, compared to normal rice. ‘Because obesity is a growing health
problem, especially in many developing countries, we wanted to find food-based
solutions,” says team leader Sudhair A. James, who is at the College of
Chemical Sciences, Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka. ‘We discovered that increasing
rice resistant starch (RS) concentrations was a novel way to approach the
problem.’ ‘After your body converts carbohydrates into glucose, any leftover
fuel gets converted into a polysaccharide carbohydrate called glycogen,’ he
explains. ‘Your liver and muscles store glycogen for energy and quickly turn it
back into glucose as needed. The issue is that the excess glucose that doesn’t
get converted to glycogen ends up turning into fat, which can lead to excessive
weight or obesity.’

As the oil enters the starch granules during cooking, changing its architecture
so that it becomes resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. This means
that fewer calories ultimately get absorbed into the body. MORE: FOOD Asian

Grain pain: Japan's aging rice farmers face uncertain future
A crop once deemed so important it served as a form of currency, Japanese rice has fallen out of favor with younger, Westernised consumers, in a shift that has left aging farmers struggling for survival.
Rice consumption has nearly halved over the past 50 years, and as the older generation of farmers and consumers dies out, some fear the industry will be unable to hold its own in a competitive global market.
Kazuo Ogura, a 66-year-old farmer, is one of the lucky ones. His son Yuichi decided to follow him into the family business.
Ogura senior looks on proudly as his 38-year-old son uses a specially designed machine to plant this year's harvest, splashing through golden paddy fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Surviving in this tough environment is all about "producing quality food at a reasonable price" and harnessing economies provided by large-scale production, Ogura told AFP.
The future of his establishment in Kazo, Saitama Prefecture, some 50 kilometers north of Tokyo, looks assured as Yuichi follows in his muddy footsteps but farms all over Japan are dying as farmers age -- the average age of a rice farmer is now 67.
"I was the only one out of 220 students at my local school who went into farming," Yuichi said. "There are not many people in their 20s who go into farming."
Even existing farms have been forced to close when their machinery breaks down because farmers cannot afford to replace the costly equipment.
"Machines get more expensive every year. To replace them requires a certain level of profit but that's difficult when you are farming a small plot," Yuichi said.
The Oguras have managed to stay competitive so far by joining forces with two other families to farm around 100 hectares of rice fields -- nearly 100 times the size of the average plot.
They sell their rice -- which belongs to the leading Koshihikari variety -- at 300 yen per kilogram.
Although rice consumption in Japan has been falling for more than half a century, the crop's exalted status in Japanese culture -- where it even serves a religious purpose in Shinto rituals -- has ensured its survival until now.
Generous subsidies aimed at controlling supplies and prices have made rice farming one of Japan's most protected industries, but Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government scrapped the policy this year, urging farmers to become more competitive.
Japanese agriculture is "at a turning point", Ken Saito, who was farm minister until a reshuffle this month, told reporters.
"Farmers have to think about producing food that sells. More than ever, they have to be attuned to the market," he added.
And as Abe prepares for potential trade negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump, analysts say he may have to concede some ground on agriculture -- which could include Japan's customary high tariffs on imported rice -- in order to avoid getting whacked with U.S. duties on automobiles and other key exports.
But even a surge in cheaper imported varieties of rice is unlikely to shift the palates of Japanese consumers, who generally prefer their home-grown, short-grain variety to foreign versions.
Fewer Japanese people are eating rice in general, with annual per capita consumption dropping to 54.6 kilograms in 2015, less than half of its 1963 peak of 118.3 kilograms, according to the farm ministry.
Mitsuyoshi Ando, an agriculture expert at the University of Tokyo, said there was "no bright future" for the industry.
"Rice farmers need to improve their competitiveness. Large-scale production is also necessary," Ando told AFP.
But it is difficult to achieve economies of scale in mountainous areas -- where 40 percent of farming takes place -- because of geographical limitations preventing farmers from expanding their plots, he added.
And with subsidies set to wind down, "the number of farmers who can survive will be limited as rice consumption will never increase again."https://japantoday.com/category/national/grain-pain-japan%27s-ageing-rice-farmers-face-uncertain-future
