Japan corn imports to remain high
March 30, 2018 - by
Arvin Donley
The total imports are unchanged
from its revised 2017-18 forecast, as demand is projected to remain strong.
Reflecting abundant world corn supplies, Japanese corn import prices in 2016-17
hit their lowest level since 2005-06, encouraging increased feed demand, the
report said.Japanese traders imported corn from several suppliers, enabling
them to procure corn at competitive prices from the United States, Brazil,
South Africa and Russia in recent months.As an energy source, grains account
for more than 60% of the Japanese compound feed formula, the report said. While
the composition ratio for grains in compound feed is largely affected by the
price of each grain, corn is the principal component, accounting for 77% of
grains and 46.3% of the total compound feed formula in 2016-17, it said.
“Increased use of rice and
distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in compound feed in Japan has only
led to a minor decline (2% to 3%) in corn use over the past 10 years,”
according to the USDA. “Additionally, competitive corn prices encouraged feed
millers to use slightly more corn in Japanese feed production at the expense of
sorghum and rice in MY2015-16 and MY2016-17.”
Taming Nigeria’s food import bills

Recently, the Federal Government
announced that Nigeria’s food importation has dropped drastically, linking it
to its agricultural policies. Taiwo Hassan reports
Effects of food imports
For many decades, the Nigerian markets have been the toast for renowned agric countries in the world, particularly for importation of foreign food items to compliment local production.
Indeed, the massive importation of foreign food items was seen as an alternative to sustaining the country’s food sufficiency profile amid the notion that local farmers were not doing enough to cater for the Nigerian populace.

Indeed, the massive importation of foreign food items was seen as an alternative to sustaining the country’s food sufficiency profile amid the notion that local farmers were not doing enough to cater for the Nigerian populace.
Ironically, the opening up of
Nigeria’s borders and its gateways not only put smiles on the faces of
importers, rice merchants and others in the value chain imports market but also
creates jobs in the countries from where these products are imported.
Similarly, the continued importation of the foreign food items into the country is not only killing the local market from attaining optimal growth and development, it also contributes to the raising of the country’s food imports bill. Additionally, this also depletes significantly the country’s foreign exchange earnings and puts pressure on the FX market.

Statistics from the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) showed that massive importation of food, especially rice, wheat,
sugar and fish, has continued to bleed the nation’s economy, with the four
items accounting for a whopping N1 trillion loss to the nation annually.
Currently, Nigeria has about $22 billion food import substitution bill, which is presently threatening the sustainability of food security and saving the declining foreign exchange earnings.

Re-jigging old norms
Following the assumption of Office by President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2015 and coupled with the decline in crude oil price at the international market, the need to change the paradigm towards the continued importation of food became imperative.
Indeed, the present administration gave special attention to three key sectors of the economy – agriculture, manufacturing and solid minerals – in a bid to diversify the economy into non-oil sector. In line with its policy statement to re-position agriculture, President Buhari’s administration took various agricultural policies as part of efforts to revive the sector and make it a major revenue generating sector.
President Buhari had emphasized that Nigeria was still an agrarian economy where agriculture should form the larger bulk of the country’s revenue generation.

FG’s stance on food imports
Speaking at the inauguration of chairpersons and members of Boards of 23 agencies and parastatals under the Federal Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development recently, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Heineken Lokpobiri, disclosed that Nigeria was recording a massive decline in food importation, tracing it to the present administration’s agricultural policies that had started to have far-reaching effects on the transformation of the sector.
He revealed that the country had achieved significant results in its bid to grow the sector but that Nigeria still has a lot of work to do in the sector.

He noted that in the last couple of
months, the importation of food items, including rice and fish, into the
country had reduced significantly, noting that efforts are in progress to
further reduce all food imports to the barest minimum.
“Efforts on developing other agricultural products like cassava, millet, cocoa, hibiscus flower (zobo), ginger, cashew nuts and so on are yielding positive results,” he added.

Lokpobiri noted that since the
inception of the current administration, concerted efforts had been made to
diversify the economy and agriculture is the foremost sector being explored in
this regard.
He explained that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) has the responsibility of developing agriculture, making it the key driver of rural development for the transformation of the economy, with a view of attaining food security, generating employment and becoming a net exporter of agricultural produce and earner of foreign exchange.

“Our agricultural research
institutions and colleges have a vital role to play in achieving this goal as
they have a mandate to ensure the development of new technologies, inputs,
production techniques, storage and distribution techniques and processes
through research for improved yield and reduction in losses. Nigerian
Agricultural Insurance Corporation also plays a major role in protecting
farmers from agricultural losses in the entire value chain,” he added.
Positive change
Besides, Lokpobiri averred that the President Buhari administration is devoted to ensuring positive change in the lives of Nigerians and also improve standard of living across the country.
According to him, this can only be achieved through transparency and accountability in the conduct of the government’s business.

The news that Nigeria is recording a decline in its food importation bill through its agricultural policies is supposed to be a cheering news for the country, but unfortunately, it’s worrisome that government is yet to tackle the menace of smuggling and influx of imported food items into the country.

Food sufficiency: FG, NAERLS give conflicting reports
March 23, 2018
By
Despite Federal Government’s
claim that food production has increased across the country, the 2017 wet
season National Agricultural Performance Survey report revealed otherwise.
TAIWO HASSAN reports
Indeed, the study highlighted
challenges that affected food production during the 2017 wet season farming to
include: climate change, absence of government input support, insecurity,
kidnapping and poor support for agricultural extension.The study carried out by
the National Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison Services (NAERLS) of
the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, domiciled at the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, noted that the constraints affected all the
subsector of agriculture including crops, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture,
and agro forestry value chain.
The study, which was launched in
Abuja by the Minister of State Agriculture, Heineken Lokpobiri, noted that
although there was increase in land area for food production, but this only
resulted in 35 per cent increase in livestock and aquaculture.
While presenting the report in
Abuja, the Executive Director, NAERLS, Prof. Mohammed Othman, lamented that the
level of mechanisation in Nigeria is still very low, as over 34 states are
unable to access tractor services in 2017, due to high cost of hiring services.
Besides not buying tractors for
farmers, Othman said the survey indicated that 28 states could not access
tractor services for their wet season farming due to unavailability, resulting
into high cost of land clearing activities.The report identified maize as the
most cultivated crop in Nigeria, accounting for 5,960,920 hectares, producing
10, 813,980 metric tonnes (MT) compared to 12,107,580MT in 2016, representing a
11.96 per cent increase in national total output.
Blame game
However, the minister blamed NAERLS for withholding the research results of the survey, which has been conducted annually for the past 29 years, saying that the report ought to serve as a planning tool for farmers, investors and other relevant stakeholders.
However, the minister blamed NAERLS for withholding the research results of the survey, which has been conducted annually for the past 29 years, saying that the report ought to serve as a planning tool for farmers, investors and other relevant stakeholders.
He said: “We are very sad that for
the past 29 years, we have always produced this type of document done with
painstaking survey conducted across the country, but never formally presented
to the public. Any research conducted but not presented to the public, as far
as I’m concerned, will not be able to achieve the purpose for which it was
conducted.“You can imagine that for 29 years, this very highly respected
institute, domiciled in ABU, has been producing this survey, but never formally
presented to the public.”
He also criticised the survey as being one-sided, due to its concentration on only the wet season farming, noting that Nigeria did so well in its dry season farming.
Lokpobiri noted that for over two years of being a minister, he never received a copy of any of the previous surveys from NAERLS, decrying over-dependence on data generated by foreign organisations, which might not represent the true situation of Nigeria.

He noted that investors had trooped
to the ministry to establish farms and production facilities, but were
discouraged due to lack of data.He therefore stressed the need for NAERLS to
ensure annual public presentation and commercialisation of the report to
generate more revenue for government.
Wheat losses
Indeed, the study showed that in the wheat sector, farmers were facing tumults challenges and this is fueling unrest.
Particularly, the report said that Nigeria lost fortunes of wheat production amid post-harvest losses, lack of quality seeds and other inputs, as well as non-availability of farming implements.
Realistically, these factors hindered Nigeria’s quest to achieve the set target of 1.5 million tons wheat production earmarked for 2018 as many of the farmers were forced to abandon their hectares of wheat farms.

Speaking on the issues in a chat with New Telegraph, a member of Wheat Farmers Association of Nigeria (WFAN), said lack of improved seeds had forced farmers in Gombe State to abandon their initial plans of cultivating 10,000 hectares of wheat farms in the state.
“Our cultivation is limited by lack
of quality seeds and farming implements. Most of our farmers complained that
the available seeds have been planted and replanted for over five years. This
has resulted in deterioration in terms of crop quality, as the crop yield will
not be good,” he said.
He lamented that good quality
seeds, when available, were not enough for distribution to the farmers during
the period under review.
“Initially, Lake Chad Research Institute brought us foundation seeds, but the problem we had then was that the seeds, which were of good quality, were not sufficient. Those farmers who were able to plant the crop early enough harvested three to four tons on each hectare of farmland, while those that planted late realised between one and two tons per hectare,’’ the source said.

MPCA
challenges judge's ruling on sulfate limit
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Wednesday said it has
filed a response defending its proposed wild rice sulfate standard that in
January was panned by a state administrative law judge.
Additional Articles Recommended by Agweek
PCA officials say their proposed
sulfate pollution standard is a good compromise that protects wild rice in
places where sulfate pollution might damage it, but also allows more sulfate
pollution in lakes and rivers where it may not harm the plant.
The new, lake-by-lake standard
would replace a long-standing but mostly unenforced statewide sulfate limit for
wild rice waters that industry officials say is too restrictive and could
cripple the state's taconite iron ore industry, as well as cost millions of
dollars for municipal sewage plants to comply with.
Scientists say excess sulfate in
some waters can spur the development of sulfides, which can starve wild rice of
needed nutrients, damaging or even killing the plants.The PCA response this
week, filed with the state's chief administrative law judge, addresses concerns
raised in the January decision by Judge LauraSue Schlatter, who said the PCA's
proposed new sulfate rule failed to meet the definition of a state rule and
failed to meet the federal Clean Water Act. Schlatter also said the PCA also
didn't properly consider concerns raised by tribal groups.
Schlatter ruled against repealing
the existing, statewide 10 parts-per-million limit due to the PCA's
"failure to establish the reasonableness of the repeal, and because the
repeal conflicts" with the federal Clean Water Act.The judge said the PCA
plan to develop "equation-based" limits for specific lakes and rivers
that hold wild rice "fails to meet the definition of a rule" under
state law "and is unconstitutionally void for vagueness."
Schlatter even rejected the PCA's
preliminary list of 1,300 lakes and rivers where the agency believes viable
wild rice stands exist, places where the new rules would have applied, because
the list itself violated federal law.PCA officials on Wednesday said the judge
simply erred in applying the Clean Water Act, noting that using equations to
determine limits is a common practice in rulemaking for pollution standards.
"We think the law judge
misread the Clean Water Act," said John Linc Stine, PCA commissioner, in a
conference call with reporters.PCA officials say their response addresses most
of the concerns raised by Schlatter in her January decision, and they are
hopeful the chief administrative law judge will reconsider the decision and
support the new sulfate rule with the changes made.A decision is expected in
the coming weeks.
But even if the chief judge
reverses the January decision, the future of the proposed sulfate rule is in question.
Several state lawmakers, pushed by the state's mining industry, are advancing
legislation that would prohibit the PCA from enforcing the new or old sulfate
pollution limits, saying their impact on industry, jobs and commerce would be
devastating. One bill also calls for a wild rice task force that would address
multiple issues that threaten wild rice, not just sulfate pollution.
Meanwhile, tribal and
environmental interests have panned the PCA's effort as too lax on industry,
saying there's no scientific basis for a lake-by-lake standard that would be
confusing, hard to enforce and not as protective as the existing statewide
standard for wild rice. They are calling for enforcement of the existing
statewide sulfate limit.
Tribal entities could ask the
federal Environmental Protection Agency to step in and decide the issue if they
believe it's not protective of tribal pollution limits where they have
regulatory authority, such as where rivers flow through reservations.Scientists
have found that sulfate — which can come from sewage effluent, mine discharges
and other industrial processes — is converted to sulfides in the sediment of
many wild rice lakes and rivers. The rate of that conversion changes depending
on the amount of carbon and iron in the water (generally, more sulfides with
high carbon, fewer sulfides with high iron). It's those sulfides that prevent
wild rice from thriving in some areas; the proposed new rule would study the
water chemistry of each wild rice lake and river to determine what sulfate
pollution level they could handle and still grow wild rice.
The PCA says about 135 facilities
are within 25 miles upstream of wild rice waters and would be the most likely
ones affected by any sulfate rule enforcement.

EU to probe exports of
rice

of 2016. Hong Menea
The European Commission has found
sufficient evidence to launch an investigation into whether Cambodian rice
exported to the EU puts an unfair burden on European rice farmers, potentially
imperiling the Kingdom’s tariff-free exports to the bloc.
The investigation was launched on
March 16 in response to a request from Italy, which called for “safeguard
measures” – most commonly import restrictions or tariffs – to be imposed on
rice from both Cambodia and Myanmar, according to a notification of the
investigation published in the EU’s official journal.
“Having determined . . . that
there is sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a
proceeding, the Commission hereby initiates an investigation pursuant to
Article 24 of the GSP Regulation,” the notification says, referring to the
Generalised Scheme of Preferences, which currently grants Cambodian exports
tax-free entry in the European market under the Everything But Arms (EBA)
scheme.
Under the GSP’s Article 24,
import tariffs can be re-applied to a product if it is determined that the
product “is imported in volumes and/or at prices which cause, or threaten to
cause, serious difficulties to European Union producers of like or directly
competing products”.
Any re-introduction of tariffs on
Cambodian rice could have disastrous effects on the industry. The EU accounted
for more than 40 percent of Cambodia’s total recorded rice exports last year.
The EU Commission’s investigation
team has already held their first meeting with officials from the Ministry of
Agriculture and Ministry of Commerce according to Hean Vanhan, director-general
of the Agriculture Ministry’s General Directorate of Agriculture.
“We are now meeting with the EU,
and we have no idea about the result yet,” he said.“If there is no political
interference, I believe that the negotiation will not be difficult, as our
exports are based on the EBA agreement.”Vanhan declined to provide further
details about the meeting. Representatives from the Commerce Ministry could not
be reached yesterday.
Cambodian rice sector
representatives said yesterday that the investigation was worrisome, and
questioned the legitimacy of Italy’s complaint.“Our rice species are different
from Italy’s rice, so what they raise up, it is not possible to hurt their
local producers,” said Hun Lak, vice president of the Cambodia Rice Federation.
Lak stressed the investigation
and subsequent ruling should not be related to the Kingdom’s deteriorating
political situation, as did Song Saran, CEO of AMRU Rice, one of the country’s
largest rice exporters.
While the EBA agreement overall
is dependent on certain conditions related to political and labour rights, the
specific clauses underpinning the rice investigation do not mention rights.“The
investigation from the EU is a huge concern, and threatens rice exporters and
farmers’ living condition,” Saran said yesterday, arguing that Italy’s concerns
were due to global market factors and not related to Cambodian rice.
“The drop down of rice prices
impacts not only Italy’s rice market, it is a global issue,” Saran said. “We
export only fragrant rice, and the volume is not as big as what Italy is
saying.”The share of the EU rice market captured by Cambodian rice has grown
from 13 percent five years ago to 21 percent last year, according to the EU.
Meanwhile, the share of the rice market controlled by European producers has
fallen from 52 percent to 30 percent over the same period.Italian rice farmers have
complained about Cambodian rice imports since at least 2014, but this is the
first time a formal investigation has been launched by the commission.EU
regulations stipulate the investigation must be completed within a year of its
March 16 starting date.
State-of-the-art: Scientists introduce latest machine for wheat
sowing
March 30, 2018
Farmers in Punjab celebrate
rainfall in cropping season
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Agricultural Research Council
(Parc) has introduced a new machine that will allow farmers to easily cultivate
wheat in rice fields.The machine, named Pak Seeder, helps in wheat sowing
without having the need to remove rice residue and prepare land for plantation.
Handling rice
residue has been a major challenge for farmers in the rice and wheat cropping
system. The residue is either removed or spread over the field manually.Mostly,
the farmers prefer to burn it as an easy and cost-effective way of disposal.
However, this process not only causes loss of precious crop nutrients, but also
poses a threat to the environment, human health and economy. It also
contributes to smog during winter which has become a major public health and
environmental issue, particularly in Punjab, in recent years.
According to
Parc, the new technology will address these crucial issues.Talking to The
Express Tribune, Parc officials said it took almost a decade to
design the new machine and make experiments, adding the machine was launched
and exhibited for the farmers near Muridke on Saturday last week.Different
approaches were made and experiments conducted over the past 12 years that led
to the development of Pak Seeder. “It is a unique technology that helps sow
wheat without disturbing the soil condition or removing the rice residue,” said
a statement issued by Parc.
“Rice and
wheat growers can conserve their resources, time and money by adopting this
technology. It not only improves soil’s biological and physical health, but
also increases wheat and rice yields.”Parc Chairperson Dr Yusuf Zafar
appreciated efforts of Parc engineers and scientists for developing the
state-of-the-art machine for wheat sowing in the presence of heavy rice residue
for the first time in Pakistan.
“It will help
in increasing earnings of rice farmers and wheat growing areas. Burning of rice
residue has been a big problem for Pakistan as well as South Asian countries
and Pak Seeder is a breakthrough, which will not only save time and resources,
but will also enhance crop production,” said Zafar said while speaking at the
launch ceremony.
Highlighting
the role of scientists, manufacturers, service providers and farmers in
introducing the technology, he emphasised that Parc engineers were playing a
vital role in developing resource conservation technologies like Pak Seeder.
International Centre for Agriculture Research in Dry Areas (Icarda) Country
Head Dr Abdul Majid outlined his organisation’s role and activities in
Pakistan, saying research was not a one-day process, rather it took years to
resolve a problem. He underlined the importance of farmers’ role and
cooperation with machinery manufacturers and researchers in further developing
Pak Seeder.After its successful launch, Parc will sign a memorandum of
understanding with the manufacturers for promoting the technology on commercial
lines.

Chief of the Hector Kobbekaduwa Agrarian Research Institute, Duminda Priyadarshana
meanwhile has said that the rice stocks that they would be receiving is
sufficient for a period of eight months and shortage of rice therefore is not
expected, state television network reported.Imported rice is now available in
the market at a low cost and the government has decided to extend the tax
relief for rice imports for one month.Director of the Ministry of Industries
and Commerce Indika Ranatunga said that a request has been made by companies to
increase the price of a kilogram of milk powder by 100 rupees. But the final
decision has not yet been received. She said that the price of milk powder may
not increase.The official said since the price of cooking gas had also not been
increased for the past two years, the LP gas companies had also sought an
increase in prices seeking some relief for them. However, a decision has been
made not to increase the prices at this time.

India rice prices rise on muted supply
Reuters,
Bengaluru
12:00
AM, March 30, 2018 / LAST MODIFIED: 12:00 AM, March 30, 2018
Rice export prices rose in India
this week on limited supply and improved demand, while a lack of fresh overseas
interest weighed on the staple market in Thailand.In top exporter India, prices
for the 5 percent broken parboiled variety rose by $6 to $425-$429 per tonne
amid reduced supply.Demand from African and Asian buyers has also been better
than last week, said an exporter based in Kakinada in the southern state of
Andhra Pradesh.Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major
rice importer since 2017 after floods damaged its crops, imported more than 3.5
million tonnes during the July to March period, and has already exceeded its
previous annual import record, data from the country's food ministry showed
this week.
Bangladesh could buy more rice in
the next few months, given the high prices in the domestic markets, a food
ministry official said on Thursday.Prices edged higher in Vietnam as well, with
rates for the 5-percent broken rice rising to $410-$428 a tonne from $405-415
last week as farmers and agents slowed sales, in anticipation of potential
overseas deals.“Farmers and trading agents are still refraining from selling
strongly as they are waiting for more information about
government-to-government contracts, especially one with the Philippines,” a Ho
Chi Minh City-trader said.Vietnam exported 1.35 million metric tonnes of rice
in the first quarter this year, up 9.1 percent from a year earlier, the
government's General Statistics Office (GSO) said on Thursday.Rice export
revenue in the January-March period rose 23.8 percent to $668 million, while
shipments in March totalled 520,000 tonnes valued at $260 million, compared
with 340,000 tonnes worth $169 million in February, the GSO said.
As for Thailand, prices of the
benchmark 5 percent broken rice variety were in a $415-$435 per tonne range,
free on board (FOB) Bangkok, compared with $430-$432 last week, amid a lack of
fresh deals.“Many exporters are now looking for new deals in markets like
Indonesia and the Philippines,” a Bangkok-based rice trader said.
Now, a scanner to check paddy quality
Priced at ₹6 lakh, the Amvicube PA-200 helps
grade quality without de-husking the paddy.
Developed by a rice miller in
Raichur, Karnataka, it can analyse samples within minutes
BENGALURU, MARCH 29
Palm de-husking, the conventional
practice to assess paddy samples, could soon be a thing of the past.A
rice-miller based in Raichur, Karnataka, has developed a paddy scanner that
carries out a physical analysis of the sample within minutes and helps buyers —
mainly millers and procurement agencies — make informed decisions and curb pilferages.“The
device, named Amvicube Paddy Analyser – PA-200, is the first of its kind in the
world,” claimed Vikram A Sreerama, managing partner of Shriya Rice Mills in
Raichur.
“The scanner works on the
principle of absorption and reflection technology and is powered with a simple
touchscreen. Once the grains are placed in the designated tray, the scanner
analyses the paddy for its physical qualities — such as length and width —
while identifying the percentage of brokens, all without removing the husk,” he
adds.
Apart from palm de-husking, rice
millers also currently use small mills, where 100-200 grams of paddy is milled
to identify the percentage of brokens and colour.
PA-200 also helps identify
contamination, by finding out the mixture of other variety grains in the
sample, if any, and displays the result within 2.5 minutes, which can then be
e-mailed or sent through SMS, says Sreerama, managing partner of Amvicube, the
start-up that has developed the product using various electronic components
largely available in the country.“Besides the design, it is more to do with the
calibration, alignment, sensor orientation and algorithims,” says Sreerama,
adding that the scanner can store the results and also has an in-built printer.
While the Karnataka government
has provided a grant for Amvicube to help commercialise PA-200, the Centre has
assisted the company in filing a patent for PA-200, which is priced at
around ₹6 lakh.
Amvicube has sold about 25
scanners, mainly in Raichur, and is in talks with entities such as Rashtriya
e-Market Services, which operates the unified markets platform in the APMCs of
Karnataka and e-NAM, to deploy these machines as the talk of assaying gains
ground in the agri-marketing space.
Amvicube figured as the most
innovative product in the post-harvest space at the recent Indo-Israel Agri
Challenge.“We are looking at bigger companies to take this product across the
country and plan to come out with variants that can sample pulses such as tur,
chana and other grains,” Sreerama adds.
Himanshu Jobanputra of Shreeji
Agrotech in Raichur, who has been using PA-200 for three months now, says the
scanner helps him determine the accurate price of paddy. Millers normally
depend on middlemen to purchase paddy and the price depends on the extent of
brokens in the grains.
“Accurate identification of
brokens through scanning helps fix the right price, thus avoiding pilferages,”
Himanshu adds.However, at ₹6 lakh, the scanner is out of
reach for millers, many of whom lease out mills for ₹5 lakh per annum, says Krishna Rao of the Pattabhi Agro Foods
and president of Rice Exporters Association. “Maybe it is targeted at large
mills, mainly the basmati people,” he adds

MPCA
challenges judge's ruling on sulfate limit
9
Wild rice harvested on Perch Lake on the Fond du Lac Reservation

The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency on Wednesday said it has filed a response defending its proposed wild
rice sulfate standard that in January was panned by a state administrative law
judge.
PCA officials say their proposed
sulfate pollution standard is a good compromise that protects wild rice in
places where sulfate pollution might damage it, but also allows more sulfate pollution
in lakes and rivers where it may not harm the plant.The new, lake-by-lake
standard would replace a long-standing but mostly unenforced statewide sulfate
limit for wild rice waters that industry officials say is too restrictive and
could cripple the state's taconite iron ore industry, as well as cost millions
of dollars for municipal sewage plants to comply with.
Scientists say excess sulfate in
some waters can spur the development of sulfides, which can starve wild rice of
needed nutrients, damaging or even killing the plants.The PCA response this
week, filed with the state's chief administrative law judge, addresses concerns
raised in the January decision by Judge LauraSue Schlatter, who said the PCA's
proposed new sulfate rule failed to meet the definition of a state rule and
failed to meet the federal Clean Water Act. Schlatter also said the PCA also
didn't properly consider concerns raised by tribal groups.
Schlatter ruled against repealing
the existing, statewide 10 parts-per-million limit due to the PCA's
"failure to establish the reasonableness of the repeal, and because the
repeal conflicts" with the federal Clean Water Act.The judge said the PCA
plan to develop "equation-based" limits for specific lakes and rivers
that hold wild rice "fails to meet the definition of a rule" under
state law "and is unconstitutionally void for vagueness."
Schlatter even rejected the PCA's
preliminary list of 1,300 lakes and rivers where the agency believes viable
wild rice stands exist, places where the new rules would have applied, because
the list itself violated federal law.
PCA officials on Wednesday said
the judge simply erred in applying the Clean Water Act, noting that using
equations to determine limits is a common practice in rulemaking for pollution
standards.
"We think the law judge
misread the Clean Water Act," said John Linc Stine, PCA commissioner, in a
conference call with reporters.
PCA officials say their response
addresses most of the concerns raised by Schlatter in her January decision, and
they are hopeful the chief administrative law judge will reconsider the
decision and support the new sulfate rule with the changes made.
A decision is expected in the
coming weeks.But even if the chief judge reverses the January decision, the
future of the proposed sulfate rule is in question. Several state lawmakers,
pushed by the state's mining industry, are advancing legislation that would
prohibit the PCA from enforcing the new or old sulfate pollution limits, saying
their impact on industry, jobs and commerce would be devastating. One bill also
calls for a wild rice task force that would address multiple issues that
threaten wild rice, not just sulfate pollution.
Meanwhile, tribal and
environmental interests have panned the PCA's effort as too lax on industry,
saying there's no scientific basis for a lake-by-lake standard that would be
confusing, hard to enforce and not as protective as the existing statewide
standard for wild rice. They are calling for enforcement of the existing
statewide sulfate limit.
Tribal entities could ask the
federal Environmental Protection Agency to step in and decide the issue if they
believe it's not protective of tribal pollution limits where they have
regulatory authority, such as where rivers flow through reservations.
Scientists have found that
sulfate — which can come from sewage effluent, mine discharges and other
industrial processes — is converted to sulfides in the sediment of many wild
rice lakes and rivers. The rate of that conversion changes depending on the
amount of carbon and iron in the water (generally, more sulfides with high
carbon, fewer sulfides with high iron). It's those sulfides that prevent wild
rice from thriving in some areas; the proposed new rule would study the water
chemistry of each wild rice lake and river to determine what sulfate pollution
level they could handle and still grow wild rice.
The PCA says about 135 facilities
are within 25 miles upstream of wild rice waters and would be the most likely
ones affected by any sulfate rule enforcement.

Chinese Oranges
and Indian Apples: A tale of two trade statements
There is little in common between
the official statements of India and China after recent trade talks
Sai Manish
| New Delhi Last Updated at March 29, 2018 15:37 IST
6

breakfast meeting. (Photo: PIB India)
The Chinese statement released
by Xinhua on
March 27 talks of an offer that is an attractive proposition for the Narendra Modi administration.
According to Xinhua, one of the seven proposals put out by China includes
“dovetailing the Belt and Road initiative with India’s 15-year vision
plan, Make in India and Digital India programs.”
Reports suggest China is looking to invest $800 billion over the next five
years on the Belt & Road initiative, seeking to create a Eurasian trading contiguity
with China as the nerve centre. India’s official statement, meanwhile,
completely steers clear of the Belt & Road Initiative.
New Delhi's primary concern,
according to its statement, was to “promote balanced and sustainable bilateral
trade.” The statement further read, “The Chinese side noted India’s concern
regarding the long existing trade imbalance and requests for market access of
Indian products and services.” China meanwhile “hoped” that India could
increase its exports to China by “participating in the China International Import
Expo (CIIE).” The first ever CIIE will
be held in November 2018 in Shanghai and is an exhibition of exporters from
different countries for their respective products. India’s concern, which seems
to have been lightly staved off in the Chinese statement, is based on
glaring trade gap between
the two nations since the Modi government came to power. India’s exports to
China have declined by 14 per cent since 2014-15. Its imports, meanwhile, have
increased by 5 per cent even as India has imported lesser and lesser from the
world since 2014-15. As of February 2018, India’s trade deficit with
China stands at $53 billion and has widened by 9 per cent since the Modi
government came to power.
India has been lobbying hard for
market access for some of its agricultural products in China to narrow down
this burgeoning trade deficit. Among
other products, India’s statement mentioned “non-basmati rice, soya meals,
okra, banana and
bovine meat” and said that the Chinese had “re-affirmed their commitment” to
accelerating market access for these commodities. The Chinese statement does
not mention any commitment to allowing access to Indian farm products to its
market. In fact, the Chinese statement implies quite the opposite. It
quotes Suresh Prabhu saying,
“India welcomes Chinese businesses to increase investment and boost their
market share in India.”
India’s concerns that failed to find a mention in the Chinese statement were driven by the fact that the country's buffalo meat exports have declined since the Modi government assumed power and China, which has banned Indian imports for hygiene reasons, represents a huge opportunity for India’s cara beef exporters. Despite the fact that Chinese cuisine makes generous use of soya products, the nation has clamped down on import of the commodity from India over the past few years. India’s soya meal exports to China have plummeted from $10 million in 2014-15 to a little more than $1 million in 2016-17. Similarly, China is also the world’s largest rice importer but barely procures any rice from India. While India’s basmati exports to China are negligible, none of the non-basmati parboiled rice worth almost $1.55 billion that it shipped abroad in 2017-18 reached Chinese shores.

While India’s basmati exports to China are negligible, none of the non-basmati parboiled rice worth almost $1.55 billion that it shipped abroad in 2017-18 reached Chinese shores.
Similarly, the Indian side
mentioned that both nations “had re-affirmed their aim to promote bilateral trade
in the field of pharmaceuticals, including resolution of issues of Indian pharma exports to
Chinese markets.” But the release put out by Xinhua doesn’t
even mention this concern as having being either discussed or under
consideration for resolution by the Chinese. Things seem to have come a full
circle for India, since it had made a similar push for its pharma products with
China during the last Joint Group on Economic Relations, Trade Science and
Technology meeting held in September 2014. Despite exporting billions of
dollars’ worth of cheap generic medicines across the world, India’s exports to
China have been negligible even as most of the active chemical compounds that
go into manufacturing such drugs come from China.
Former commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman
had informed Parliament that the reason for this was that it was taking
anywhere from four to seven years for Indian pharmaceutical companies to
register their products in China. And despite India’s request in 2014, things
barely seemed to have improved since then, despite a memorandum of
understanding being signed between the two nations on this particular issue
during the much celebrated visit of the Chinese president to India in September
2014. Since 2014-15, India’s global pharma exports have grown from $11.5
billion to almost $13 billion in 2016-17. Exports to China meanwhile have
declined from about $30 million to $27 million during the same period.
None of the other Chinese
assertions in their seven-point agenda, such as improving business environment
for Chinese products, cooperation in human resources and establishment of a
trade facilitation joint working group, are acknowledged in the Indian
statement
Iraq
Waives Withholding Payment, Should Clear Way for Future U.S.
Tenders
By Sarah Moran
WASHINGTON, DC - Recently, Iraq
instituted a new tendering rule that would have resulted in U.S. rice being
forced to completely withdraw from the Iraq market, however, it appears a
solution has been found. In question was a new rule requiring 10 percent of the
payment to any U.S. exporter be held by the Iraqi tax authorities until
completion of the goods delivery and the certification that the exporter does
not owe taxes in Iraq. The method of
first withholding 10 percent of the payment and then subsequent certification
conflict with standard anti-bribery policies.
Representatives Rick Crawford (R-AR)
and Ralph Abraham (R-LA) individually sent letters to U.S. Ambassador Douglas
Silliman in Baghdad, urging his assistance.
The strong relationships between U.S. embassy personnel in Baghdad and
officials at the Ministry of Trade and Ministry of Finance that were forged
during the 2016 development and signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the parties helped resolve this issue in an efficient and practical
manner, with a waiver of this withholding for the Iraqi Grain Board. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has signed the
waiver, clearing the way for U.S. participation in tenders.
However, the current tender for 30,000 metric
tons of rice does not reflect the new waiver, so it is unclear if U.S.
companies will be able to participate."The U.S. rice industry eagerly
awaits a fair and transparent MOU tender that we can participate in," said
Brian King, USA Rice chairman.
"This incident clearly demonstrates the need for USA Rice to remain
vigilant in the market, along with key industry allies in Congress and the
State Department, as they have done. Our
growers are looking for stable, dependable markets, and we all believe Iraq can
be a great success story for us."

Domestic Usage Report Survey Released, Full Participation
Urged
MARCH 29, 2018 / 4:19 PM /
By Jesica Kincaid
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - Yesterday, USA Rice
released the 2016-2017 Domestic Usage Report (DUR) survey to members and is
requesting full industry participation. This useful annual report tracks milled
rice shipments within the United States by rice type and market sector and
provides excellent data to industry watchers. "The entire U.S. rice
industry benefits from a comprehensive report," USA Rice DUR Subcommittee
Chairman Gary Reifeiss said. "Gaining a solid perspective on current
market conditions and market segment shipments helps identify opportunities for
growth, and sometimes challenges for all of us. I strongly encourage all
recipients to contribute to the survey."
Companies that participate in development of
the DUR will receive the final report free of cost; others will be required to
purchase the report. Participants are asked to submit their contributions by
April 30.
Same USDA Estimates Rice Acreage Up 9 Percent, Less than
Expected
By Michael Klein
WASHINGTON, DC - Rice plantings in 2017 were
down significantly and many industry watchers were expecting an acreage bump in
2018. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural
Statistics Service's Prospective Plantings report released today, acreage will
be higher, but not by very much.Area planted for rice in 2018 is expected to
total 2.69 million acres, 208,000 more than what was actually planted in 2017.
The greatest gain is seen in the top rice
producing state of Arkansas, projected to have 1.33 million acres, up from 1.11
million, but still below the 1.5 million acres planted in 2016. Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Missouri are projected to collectively plant 54,000 more acres
of rice than those states did in 2017. Surprisingly, Texas and California are
projected to be below 2017 levels by 11,000 and 55,000 acres respectively.
Long-grain, representing 75 percent of the
total rice acreage, is expected to be 210,000 acres above 2017 totals. Medium-grain, now 23 percent of the total
rice acreage, is down two percent to 609,000 acres - 63 percent of which is
reported to be planted in California. Area planted for all short-grain
varieties, representing less than two percent of production, is anticipated to
be up 24 percent from last year's total.The USDA report is based on information
supplied to USDA by growers, and though generally accurate within 5 percent,
actual planted acres could vary. The
Rice Acreage Report, based on actual planted acres, will be published at the
end of June.
India rice prices rise on muted supply; lack of deals weighs on
Thailand
BENGALURU (Reuters) - Rice export prices rose in India this week
on limited supply and improved demand, while a lack of fresh overseas interest
weighed on the staple market in Thailand.A woman spreads paddy crop for drying at a rice mill on the
occasion of International Women's Day, on the outskirts of Agartala, India March
8, 2018. REUTERS/Jayanta Dey
In top exporter India, prices for the 5 percent broken parboiled
variety rose by $6 to $425-$429 per tonne amid reduced supply.
Demand from African and Asian buyers has also been better than
last week, said an exporter based in Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra
Pradesh.
Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major
rice importer since 2017 after floods damaged its crops, imported more than 3.5
million tonnes during the July to March period, and has already exceeded its
previous annual import record, data from the country’s food ministry showed
this week.
Bangladesh could buy more rice in the next few months, given the
high prices in the domestic markets, a food ministry official said on Thursday.
Prices edged higher in Vietnam as well, with rates for the
5-percent broken rice rising to $410-$428 a tonne from $405-415 last week as
farmers and agents slowed sales, in anticipation of potential overseas deals.
“Farmers and trading agents are still refraining from selling
strongly as they are waiting for more information about
government-to-government contracts, especially one with the Philippines,” a Ho
Chi Minh City-trader said.
Vietnam exported 1.35 million metric tonnes of rice in the first
quarter this year, up 9.1 percent from a year earlier, the government’s General
Statistics Office (GSO) said on Thursday.
Rice export revenue in the January-March period rose 23.8
percent to $668 million, while shipments in March totalled 520,000 tonnes
valued at $260 million, compared with 340,000 tonnes worth $169 million in
February, the GSO said.
As for Thailand, prices of the benchmark 5 percent broken rice
variety were in a $415-$435 per tonne range, free on board (FOB) Bangkok,
compared with $430-$432 last week, amid a lack of fresh deals.
“Many exporters are now looking for new deals
in markets like Indonesia and the Philippines,” a Bangkok-based rice trader
said.
“But demand remains flat and so far we are only shipping rice to
China from old purchase orders.” Many exporters are
buying up rice now due to speculation about deals with other Southeast Asian
markets, another trader said.
The Thai government on Thursday announced
that it would sell 44,000 tonnes of rice for human consumption from its state
stockpiles in April and May.This sale could drive prices higher next month,
traders said.

SEJONG, March 29 (Yonhap) -- Rice production costs in South
Korea rebounded in 2017, snapping three straight years of decline, a government
report showed Thursday.Farmers spent a total of 691,374 won (US$648) to grow
rice on a 1,000-square meter paddy last year, up 2.5 percent from the previous
year's 674,340 won, according to the report by Statistics Korea.
Overall costs, including money used to buy fertilizer and
pesticides, inched up 1.6 percent on-year to 447,775 won, and land-borrowing
costs and other indirect expenses rose 4.3 percent to 243,598 won over the
cited period.The gross income of rice farmers came to 974,553 won per
1,000-square meter paddy last year, up 13.8 percent from a year earlier due
mainly to a sharp rise in rice prices, the latest report showed.

Why I'm Quitting GMO Research'
Constantly confronting people who
think my research will harm them is profoundly distressing
Credit: guerillagrrl/Flickr
The PhD defence is probably the single-most
significant milestone in a career in science. It’s part examination and part
ritual. PhD defences in the Netherlands, for instance, feature a robed jury
and a master of ceremonies with a ceremonial mace. In my university in
Switzerland, tradition dictates that PhD students get whimsical “hats” made by
fellow researchers which are donned just as the results (hopefully a pass) are
announced. My hat featured (among several digs at my
Twitter fixation) references to CRISPR technology and the several
genetically-modified plants I worked on for my PhD.You see, for the last four
years I’ve been embedded in a Swiss research group that specialises in creating
genetically modified organisms, or GMOs (scientists prefer to use the terms
genetic engineered organisms or transgenics rather than GMO). And no, we are
not funded by Monsanto, and our GMOs are largely patent-free.
Nevertheless, my time in GMO research
creating virus-resistant plants has meant dealing with the overwhelming
negative responses the topic evokes in so many people. These range from daily
conversations halting into awkward silence when the subject of my work crops
up, to hateful Twitter trolls, and even the occasional fear that public
protesters might destroy our research. Little wonder then that, having finished
my PhD, I’m part-excited and part-relieved to move to a new lab and work on
more fundamental questions in plant biology: how plants are able to control the
levels at which their genes are active.
Unfortunately, I am not alone. The first
commercially available GMO crops were first developed in the early 1990s in
publicly funded labs in Europe and the US. In the years since, as many as a quarter of European universities
have shut down their GMO research programs, some due to a loss of funding and
others because scientists are leaving the GMO sphere, tired of the backlash and
criticism.
My first experience of the intensity of
anti-GMO belief occurred during a public panel discussion about
patenting crops and GMOs organised by my colleagues. The panel was interrupted
by a protestor shouting about how GM food was responsible for their American
friends’ child’s autism. As the panelists tried to explain, there is no causal link between autism and GMOs (or vaccines for that matter) and GMOs have
repeatedly been found to be perfectly safe for
human consumption. But the protestor readily dismissed these arguments in
favour for what can only be described as a fervently held, conspiracist belief.
It really showed how futile researchers’ attempts at science communication can
be.
The Discourse
Credit: hikinghillman/Flickr
Interactions like these – in person and
over social media – happen all the time in discussions about GMOs and vaccines
across the globe. There seems to be a constituency of aggrieved activists
convinced that some scientists are out to harm their children, and nothing we
can say will ever change their minds.
Personally, the thought that no matter what
steps I take there’s always going to be people who think my research will harm
them is profoundly distressing, and feels really unfair. Unfair because as GMO
researchers, we are required to do the type of heavy lifting when it comes to
arguing for science that I feel my colleagues in fundamental research never
have to. For instance, one of my best friends works on a cure for a rare skin
disorder. I’m fairly certain he has never had to deal with questions like, “is
your research going to be patented?” or the evergreen accusations of being a
shill for Big Agriculture.
Apart from the sheer hate spewed by anti-GM
activists both in person and online, I also find fault with my fellow
scientists. Too often, other scientists ignore the issue of GMOs, or just treat
it as a technology that we can do without (we can’t, by the
way – not if we want to feed nine billion people by 2050). For example, it is
an open-secret among the plant science community in Europe that GMO-research
proposals have a very low chance of getting public funding. This is despite the
fact that several European agencies, scientific societies and publicly funded studies have
deemed GMOs perfectly safe and
even a valuable tool to
fight world hunger.
One result of this demonization of GMOs,
even in academia, is that researchers in a newer field of genetic engineering
called synthetic biology now
use the “GMO-case” as an example of
bad science communication, and try to draw nonscientific boundaries between GMO
crop research and their own, possibly in an attempt to escape the GMO tag.
Scientists working with new breeding
technologies do the very same thing. In an attempt to avoid the GMO label,
they’ve begun to draw up, in my opinion, nonsensical distinctions between
different types of genetic engineering products such as cisgenics and
GMOs/transgenics (the former are plants which have been engineered to contain
“genes” from the same or related species, instead of transgenics, which contain
genes from a different species). This is a scientifically meaningless
distinction created simply due to a fear of, again, the “GMO” label. With the
advent of CRISPR, I have noticed the same phenomenon where scientists market their CRISPR
products by proudly saying they’re “non-GMO,” even though they
know that GMOs are just fine to consume and grow.

Another part of what makes science
communication particularly difficult for GMO-researchers like me is the
enormous gulf between anti-GM activists in the rich world and the farmers and
consumers in the Global South for whom we conduct our science. As an Indian
scientist working in Switzerland, I see this all the time at work. How am I
supposed to explain the consequences of abandoning a technology that can help
feed millions to Swiss students who enjoy the world’s highest standard of
living? I have yet to find the answer, and I don’t think I ever will.
Beyond the issue of public acceptance and,
frankly, a caving-in of many in the scientific community to pseudoscientific
beliefs, I’m also glad to be moving away from transgenic research because
anti-GMO activism over the last couple of decades has made a career in GMO
research a risky proposition. The lab where I conducted my thesis research has
a storied history in GMO science. It was in this Swiss lab (and with
collaborators across the border in Germany) that Golden
Rice was conceived and created.
From negative press driven by anti-GMO
activists; regulatory blocks which slowed down the adoption of the technology
into rice varieties used by Asian farmers; reluctance by public institutions to
face down activist opposition; and a lack of funding for various experiments,
the 20-year story of Golden Rice is one of continual despair.
Nevertheless, the Golden Rice project (and
its more recent successes)
has inspired several other European scientists to initiate publicly funded
research into GMO-crops for noncommercial gain. Among these are my PhD
supervisors, who have staked large portions of their careers on GMO-research.
However, to me, Potrykus’ autobiography
reads like a cautionary tale for a young scientist. I just cannot find the kind
of unreasonable optimism dosed with a spoonful of fatalism that GMO-research in
the current climate of public opinion calls for. Potrykus himself says it bestwhen
reflecting on the Golden Rice story: “Although progress is slowly being made,
had I known what this pursuit would entail, perhaps I would not have started.
Hopefully Golden Rice will reach the needy during my lifetime.”
I have spent four-and-a-half very rewarding
years working in the field of GMO research. My research has given me the
opportunity to visit smallholder farms in two African countries, to teach a
student from the Global South the kind of modern biological techniques that
remain a dream for many in her country, and to make discoveries that
might help with an important problem in food security in the tropics. As a
result, yes, I do feel a measure of guilt at leaving this field of research,
and quitting my lab’s quest to engineer better varieties
of cassava for African and South Asian farmers halfway through
the project.
On balance though, I am, somewhat
selfishly, glad to move on to a field of research that does not come with the
same public relations challenges and the same degree of relentless suspicion.
But you never know – perhaps the developed world may yet give publicly
developed GMO technology the chance it deserves at feeding our fellow humans,
and I may still return to the fold.

Dietary
shift away from rice can boost nutrition and reduce emissions
By: Ranjit Devraj
[NEW DELHI]
Shifting away from white, polished rice to a diet that includes more wheat and
coarse grains can improve how Indians deal with micronutrient deficiencies, and reduce greenhouse gas (GhG) emissionsassociated with
paddy cultivation, says a new study.
Published in the March edition of the journal Global Environmental Change, the study’s findings are described by Narasimha Rao, the paper’s author and project leader of ‘Decent Energy Living’ at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, as the result of a “hypothetical (ideal case) scenario analysis”.
India grows a variety of coarse grains — including sorghum, pearl millet, maize, barley, and finger millet — as well as many ‘small millets’ such as kodo millet, little millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, and barnyard millet.
However, the land devoted to cultivating millets has been steadily shrinking. According to a 2014 agricultural ministry status paper, the area under coarse grains shrank from 44.35 million hectares to 26.42 million hectares between the years 1966 and 2012.
The paper blamed India’s ‘green revolution’ in the mid-1960s, which focused on cultivation of wheat and rice to meet food security demands, for the decline of the area of coarse cereals. While wheat and rice received research, extension and market support, on the supply side there was a marked shift away from coarse grains, which it says had negative consequences for dietary micronutrients.
Relying on India’s National Sample Survey of Consumption Expenditure (2011‒12), Rao and his colleagues determined that around 500 million people, or more than two-thirds of the Indian population, are now affected by deficiencies in protein and micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A.
“We compared nutritional information for different food types including rice, cereals, meat, and dairy products and looked at costs to households and levels of GhG emissions in various scenarios, including those with subsidies,” says Rao.
The worst of these life-threatening deficiencies is iron (90 per cent), followed by Vitamin A (85 per cent) and protein (50 per cent).
The study also shows that micronutrient deficiency to be worse in India’s urban areas than in the rural hinterland.

The study also shows that micronutrient deficiency to be worse in India’s urban areas than in the rural hinterland.
“We have very
detailed results in our study for optimal diets by region, but the main outcome
for all regions is the need to shift away from rice”
Narasimha Rao
Devinder Sharma, a leading agro-economist, agrees. Sharma is chair
of the Forum for Biotechnology and Food Security, a New Delhi-based collective
of agriculture scientists, economists, biotechnologists, farmers and
environmentalists. “The result of policies that orphaned coarse grains, while
favouring fine grains and cash crops such as soybeans and cotton, is now
painfully evident as widespread micronutrient deficiencies,” he says.
Rao tells SciDev.Net that nutrient deficiencies were found less in the wheat-eating northern and western areas of the country than in the south and east, where rice is the staple food. “We have very detailed results in our study for optimal diets by region, but the main outcome for all regions is the need to shift away from rice,” he says.
According to Rao, nutrient deficiency can be overcome within existing household budgets by diversifying diets to include coarse cereals, pulses, and leafy vegetables, and by reducing rice intake.
Additionally, if the suggested dietary changes are made, India’s agricultural GhG emissions could be reduced by up to 25 per cent, according to the study. Rice paddies are a human-made source of methane, a GhG, but one that can be controlled.
Methane is produced by bacteria that digest straw ploughed back into fields in paddy fields to enrich it. Carbon dioxide is released when farmers resort to burning as a cheap way to get rid of agricultural residues.
However, current agricultural and food pricing policies may act as an impediment to dietary shifts, Rao says.

However, current agricultural and food pricing policies may act as an impediment to dietary shifts, Rao says.
Under the 2013 National Food Security Act, two-thirds
of India’s population became eligible to receive five kilogrammes of grains at
subsidised prices. These subsidies favour rice over wheat and wheat over coarse
grains, despite the lower nutritional content of the former.
“It may not be immediately possible to generate a viable support price for coarse grains,” Rao surmises. And he notes other difficulties in shifting to coarse grains. “There are a number of barriers, on the supply side — getting farmers to agree to scale up the production of coarse grains and convincing consumers to eat these grains.”
According to Sharma, what is happening on the supply side is matched by a demand, in urban areas, for processed rice and wheat products. This is because they have shorter cooking times than coarse grains, he explains, and therefore are suited to the typical lifestyle of working couples.
“Nothing short of a complete overhaul of the agricultural system in the country is required,” says Sharma.
“Coarse grains are now gaining recognition as nutrient-rich and having desirable attributes such as drought-tolerance resilience to climate change, improving soil conditions and releasing less GhGs like methane, especially when compared to rice paddies,” he adds.

RAYNE, La. -
A new hybrid grain of rice
developed in Crowley could mean more money for farmers.
GF&P Zaunbrecher Farms
Co-Owner, Fred Zaunbrecher explained that he spends a lot on fungicide to
grow his conventional rice paddies.
“Being from Louisiana, where the
conditions are not tropical but close to it, we have a lot of heat and a lot of
moisture, and that's very conducive to a lot of diseases that we do have,”
explained Zaunbrecher.
One downside of the hybrid rice
is the higher cost of its seeds.
However, officials and farmers
hope that the export and domestic demand for the hybrids good grain clarity
will offset the upfront cost of more costly seeds.
The LSU-Ag Rice Research Station
in Rayne has economic models to assist producers in determining whether the
hybrid rice be profitable for their particular farm.
“When we're producing a new
variety we're providing another alternative, another option, to keep that
farmer's margins high, keep them in business, keeping profitable,"
explained Orad.
The bidding for commercial
development has just started.Percentages of the profits will go towards funding
