Good
news for rice exports – Philippines
Recently, Pakistan got an
opportunity to boost exports to Iran (Read “Good news for rice exports –
Iran” published on May 14, 2018 by this column). Philippines is
another destination that Pakistan can supply rice to even though it is not
traditional market for Pakistan and in fact, Pakistani rice exports to
Philippines have dwindled in recent years. Some background information is in
order.
Once, about a decade ago,
Philippines used to be world’s biggest rice importer, importing nearly $2
billion worth of rice in 2008, as per ITC. However, even at its peak of
imports, Pakistan was not an important supplier of rice to the country. As
Philippines moved towards self-sufficiency in rice production, its overall
import numbers and Pakistan’s export declined.
Since the country is mountainous,
consisting of many small islands, suitable land for rice production is limited
and hence it still imports more than a million tons of rice a year, as per
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). To become self-sufficient in
rice, Philippines limits rice imports through quotas at a volume identified by
its National Food Authority to prioritize buying from local farmers. This
arrangement not only limits rice supply but also boosts domestic prices— as
high as twice that of world prices in 2016.
Currently, Philippines is facing
a five-year high inflation rate of above 4 percent. At nearly 10 percent, rice
is the second-biggest component in the Philippine consumer basket. As domestic
supply of rice dwindles, its price is at a three-year high adding to the
inflationary pressure and prompting the country to increase imports.
Traditionally, Philippines
imports from its fellow ASEAN members Thailand and Vietnam, followed by
Pakistan. Though TDAP and REAP have sent trade delegations to boost rice
exports, overall Pakistan has faced a declining trend, though it recovered
growth in the last fiscal year.
This year Pakistan has a window
to increase its market share in the country. Last month, Philippine’s National
Food Authority opened a bid for 250,000 MT of rice at a
government-to-government level with Thailand and Vietnam. However, these prices
were not taken up by Thai and Vietnamese exporters.
The prices were further tweaked
and opened for biding anew this month with no limitations regarding the volume
of rice that one bidder can supply to the country. Among the 16 foreign bidders
looking to bag the contract, one was a company from Pakistan.
The prices that were considered
too low by Vietnamese and Thai traders were $483/MT for 50,000 MT of 15 percent
broken rice and $474/MT for 200,000 of 25 percent broken grains. The prices
quoted by the ASEAN exporters were above $500/MT. As per PBS data, on average
Pakistan’s non-basmati variety was exported at $410/MT with total rice
averaging at $477/MT this year. Therefore it is possible that Pakistan can bag the
contract for Philippines rice imports.
Furthermore, this is not the only
opportunity to export to Philippines this year. NFA is looking to import more
rice in 2018 since even with the latest import order; this supply is only
expected to last for about two weeks in the rice loving nation of Philippines.
With Pakistan eyeing $27 billion in exports for the next fiscal year, supplying
traditional exports to non-traditional markets may be one practical way to
achieve the target.

PHL rice
imports to hit 1.1 MMT in 2019–report
14.05.2018
Photo shows farmers harvesting rice in La Union. The United
States Department of Agriculture said in a report that the Philippines would
slash its rice imports in 2019 by more than 20 percent.The country’s rice
imports in 2019 could decline by 21.42 percent to 1.1 million metric tons
(MMT), as the increase in palay output would allow the Philippines to end 2018
with more stocks.The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a
report that the country’s total rice imports next year would decline by 300,000
metric tons (MT), from the projected 1.4 MMT this year.The Philippines is down
300,000 tons to 1.1 million tons on more abundant domestic supplies,” the USDA
report read.However, the USDA said its forecast is “subject to change,
particularly in light of ongoing government decisions related to quantitative
restrictions on imports.”This is the first grains production and supply
forecast made by the USDA for 2019.The USDA said the country’s total
milled-rice output in 2019 would remain relatively flat at 12.35 MMT.
Philippine milled-rice output this year would rise by 5.25 percent to 12.3 MMT,
from 11.686 MMT in 2017, according to the USDA.The USDA estimates that the
country’s total rice consumption next year would increase slightly by 1.51
percent to 13.4 MMT, from 13.2 MMT this year.In terms of ending stocks, the
USDA expects the Philippines to end 2018 with a carry-over volume of nearly 2.5
MMT for next year.The USDA said the country’s total area harvested with rice in
2019 would remain flat at 4.86 million hectares, but yield per hectare is seen
to increase slightly to 4.04 MT per hectare from 4.02 MT per hectare.The
Department of Agriculture has earlier projected that total palay output this
year would rise by nearly 3.11 percent to a record high of nearly 20 MMT on the
back of higher yield and better farm-gate prices.
“This year, rice production is expected to
grow by about 600,000 metric tons [MT], stimulated mainly by good palay-buying
prices, favorable climate and the increase in the adoption of good-quality and
hybrid seeds by farmers,” Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol
said.The Philippines produced a record-high 19.3 MMT of palay in 2017, 9.3
percent higher than the 17.3 MMT recorded in 2016, according to data from the
Philippine Statistics Authority.The 9.3-percent increase in palay output last
year allowed the country to achieve a 96-percent self-sufficiency in rice.“Last
year the country posted its highest rice harvest in history at 19.28 MMT, which
reduced the country’s dependence on imported rice. Imports this year would
reach only about 600,000 to 800,000 MT this year, from over 2 MMT in 2010,”
Piñol said.

Sri
Lanka rice imports fall 34 percent in February

Sri Lanka rice imports fall in February
14.05.2018
Sri Lanka's rice imports fell 34.4 percent to 23.5 million US
dollars in February 2018 from a year earlier, as harvest came in and domestic
prices eased, official data showed.Sri Lanka's rice imports surged from the
second quarter of 2017 as the government cut import duties when a drought
slashed the industry.In 2017 Sri Lanka imported 300.9 million US dollars of
rice, up from just 12.8 million dollars a year ago.However Sri Lanka had a
better main cultivation season where harvests started to come around in the
first quarter.Sri Lanka also cut taxes on potatoes and onion as prices went up.
Taxes on onions and potatoes have already been raised.Sri Lanka's rice, onion
and potato farmers cannot produce goods at the quality or price demanded in
international markets due to years of protection and cannot export competing
with Indian, Pakistani or East Asian farmers.
However in recent years, rice yields have gone up, partly helped by with fertilizer subsidies.

China opens the
door a crack wider to Japanese rice imports
Beijing approves more processing
facilities but many restrictions remain
HISAO KODACHI, Nikkei staff writerMay 15, 2018 14:03 JST
TOKYO -- The Japanese ramen noodle chain, Ajisen Ramen, operates
around 600 restaurants in China. But if you want Japanese rice with your
noodles, you must pay about four times the price of a domestic variety. In
China, Japanese rice is only for the deep-pocketed.One reason Japanese rice is
so expensive is that China imposes strict controls on imports of the food
staple from Japan. Some of these restrictions were introduced after the
Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011.
But things may soon start to change. On May 9, the two counties
struck a deal to increase the Japanese facilities that Beijing approves to
process rice bound for its shores. China is a potentially a huge market for
Japanese rice, but currently accounts for only 3% of overall
exports. Hong Kong and Singapore, the two largest markets, take about 60%
of the total.
Japan's agriculture ministry sees China as vital to achieving
its target of increasing annual exports of rice and related products to 100,000
tons. In 2017, Japan exported 11,800 tons of rice, of which only 298 tons went
to China. According to one estimate, China consumes about 20 times more rice
than Japan.
While the recent deal between the two countries is a step
forward, Chinese restrictions and high costs remain major hurdles for
Japanese exporters. Most experts also say Japan's rice exports will remain
vulnerable to any political tensions between the two countries.
To export white rice to China, brown rice must first be milled
and fumigated at facilities that China has approved as safe. The new deal will
expand the number of approved mills and fumigation facilities.
There is currently only one rice mill in Japan approved by
China, operated by the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative
Associations (Zen-Noh) in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo.
The agreement adds two more mills. One is located in Ishikari,
on the northern main island of Hokkaido, operated by Hokuren Federation of
Agricultural Cooperatives. The other is in Nishinomiya in western Hyogo
Prefecture, operated by Shinmei, the nation's largest rice wholesaler.
A Shinmei executive welcomed the agreement, saying it would
enable the company to "respond more swiftly to needs in China."
In Beijing, Shinmei sells the popular Koshihikari rice
variety, grown in central Toyama Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast, for
about 2,600 yen ($23.70) per 2kg. That is nearly double the retail price in
Japan, and 80% higher than the price of Koshihikari produced in
northeastern Niigata Prefecture and sold in Hong Kong.
One reason Japanese rice is so expensive in China is because of
transport costs and distributor margins. Reducing costs is a principal
challenge for Japanese rice exporters.
A Shinmei executive said that in addition to an effective
marketing campaign in China, increasing rice exports requires serious
cost-cutting in Japan.
For its rice exports to China, Shinmei has had to outsource the
milling process to Zen-Noh. That means the rice wholesaler has to send rice
harvested all across the country to the Zen-Noh plant in Kanagawa.
Since Zen-Noh's mill and warehouses are not always available,
this arrangement requires the time-consuming process of coordinating schedules
between the two sides in advance.
As for fumigation to control insects, Beijing has approved only
two facilities in Japan, both in Kanagawa. Under the new deal, Japan's
agriculture ministry will register five more fumigation warehouses for exports
to China, including facilities in Hokkaido and Hyogo.
The new agreement will allow Shinmei to polish rice at its own
mills and to fumigate it at a warehouse in Kobe for shipment to China from
Kobe's port.
China's restrictions on food imports from Japan following the
2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster are also a barrier to Japanese rice
exports. China bans all food from 10 Japanese prefectures, including
Fukushima, Miyagi and Niigata.
The import curbs, which cover rice snacks, sake and other rice
products, hit the rice industry hard, said Kosuke Kuji, president of Nanbu
Bijin, a sake brewer based in Ninohe, Iwate Prefecture.
While Japan and China have set up a task force to discuss steps to ease the restrictions,
there is not much reason for optimism about the outcome of the talks, an
agriculture ministry official said.
The chairman of the Central Union of Agricultural Co-operatives,
Toru Nakaya, is also cautious about the outlook for rice exports to China.
"We do not expect rapid progress, but we welcome the step
forward," Nakaya said of the recent agreement.

Leading social scientist
chosen to give prestigious Gifford Lecture
A LEADING social scientist is set to review the controversy over
faith and science when she gives the latest Gifford Lecture in Edinburgh later
this month.
Professor Elaine Howard Ecklund will contend that matters of
faith can influence the most sceptical of scientists during her lecture at
Edinburgh University’s Meadows Lecture Theatre on Tuesday, May 29, at 5.30pm.
It is entitled Science And Religion In Global Public Life and
may be followed by questions. During the evening, Ecklund will share insights
from 12 years of empirical research to show that science and religion often
overlap. Backed by surveys of 18,000 scientists and 900 interviews from four
national and international studies, she will argue that even scientists who
describe themselves as atheist may have a spiritual impulse.
Ecklund will suggest the notion that the two principles being
independent of each other – or in conflict – is a primarily western approach.
Ecklund is the holder of the Herbert S Autrey Chair in Social
Sciences, Professor of Sociology and founding director of The Religion and
Public Life Program at Rice Universityin
Houston, Texas. Her research uses social scientific methods to explore the
public relationship between science and religion.
Most recently, she has studied how scientists in eight different
national contexts understand religion and spirituality.
Last year, Ecklund co-authored the book Religion vs. Science:
What Religious People Really Think, a companion work that follows on from her
2010 book Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think. For 130 years,
the Gifford Lectures have been delivered annually by a succession of esteemed
international scholars.
The series was established under the will of Adam Lord Gifford
(1820-1887), a Senator of the College of
Justice at Edinburgh University, and the lectures explore the links between
nature and religion.
Previous speakers include former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan
Williams; the chairwoman of the United Nations Internal Justice Council,
Catherine O’Regan; and psychologist Steven Pinker.

Consider CRI rice varieties for PFJ programme - Dr Dartey
Tuesday 15th
May, 2018
By Stephen Asante, GNA
Kumasi, May 15, GNA – The
Crops Research Institute (CRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research has appealed to the government to give priority to rice varieties
being developed under its Korea-Africa Food and Agriculture Cooperation
Initiative (KAFACI).
Dr Paul Kofi Dartey,
Principal Investigator for the Initiative, said the improved rice varieties
developed could be adopted under the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) programme
for cultivation by farmers to improve food security and their incomes.
This is due to its
high-yielding, disease-resistant and nutritious qualities.
Dr Dartey, who was speaking
to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), on the sidelines of a workshop of the KAFACI at
Fumesua in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region, said the agronomic
importance of encouraging Ghanaians to plant and use high quality rice
developed locally could not be glossed over.
It is estimated that the
nation imports over US$300 million worth of rice annually.
The two-day workshop dubbed
‘Enhancement of National Agricultural Extension Services (ENAES) Phase II’,
brought together participants, including agricultural researchers and
scientists from Ghana, Gabon, Ethiopia, Malawi, Senegal and Zimbabwe.
The objective was to discuss
progress of the Initiative, brainstorm and find appropriate ways of
disseminating quality rice varieties unto the market to reduce rice
importation.
Dr Dartey, giving an
overview of the Initiative, said the project had established three
demonstration fields in three districts - Kadjebi, Biakoye and Hohoe, adding
that so far, some small-holder farmer groups from Jasikan and three from Hohoe
had requested for seeds after being linked.
Additionally, 23 farmers from
the Dzidefo Farmers’ Group also tested three rice varieties under KAFACI, while
some varieties were further test-milled at the Food Research Institute.
Dr Kim Jeong Jun,
Executive-Secretary of the KAFACI, gave the assurance that the South Korean
government was committed to assisting Ghana to make the most out of agriculture
through research and technology.
He was optimistic the KAFACI
project would expose farmers to improved rice varieties for cultivation to
improve yield and incomes.

Ag Eyes Turn to House Floor as Farm Bill Moves This Week
By Lesley Dixon
WASHINGTON, DC -- House Republican
Leadership is expected to bring their version of 2018 Farm Bill, H.R. 2, to the
House floor this week for debate and a vote, but the bill's fate will first be
determined by the House Rules Committee. The House Rules Committee will
meet late Tuesday to set the terms of debate
and again on Wednesday afternoon to decide
which of the over 100 proposed amendments will be considered, but USA Rice is
not waiting for the final list.
"We know there are some controversial proposed amendments that would damage or dismantle the farm safety net," said Ben Mosely, USA Rice vice president of government affairs. "We're asking our members to contact their representatives now to remind them of the rice industry's economic impact in their districts and also to urge them to oppose amendments that would alter the commodities title that, if adopted, compromises the rice industry's support of this bill."
Mosely said USA Rice is specifically tracking amendments that would weaken the farm safety net, including unworkable payment limitations and means testing reducing the access to and effectiveness of commodity and conservation programs, and amendments that threaten crop insurance.
"USA Rice supports the positive provisions for the rice industry in the committee-passed bill and opposes all harmful amendments that would undermine the farm safety net and jeopardize passage. There is a short and finite timeframe to pass a new Farm Bill before the current legislation expires on September 30," Mosely said. "A core purpose of the Farm Bill is to ensure farmers have the tools they need to protect themselves against factors beyond their control, such as weather, natural disasters, tariffs, and trade barriers. A strong Farm Bill in 2018 is essential to provide long-term certainty and price protections for the rice industry in a time of steep decline in net farm income."USA Rice will be in touch with Congressional offices throughout the debate to ensure that Congress understands our priorities.
"We will continue to communicate with our members as Farm Bill developments transpire, and encourage them to ask their members of Congress to oppose these harmful amendments and seek passage of a practical and effective bill," said Mosely.
Votes on amendments could potentially begin on Wednesday, May 16.

Pakistan has
gone from water surplus to water-stressed
Pakistan is a country facing depleting water resources mainly
due to climate change and poor water resource management.
Failure to estimate the actual water demand will hamper
effective water management and overall socio-economic stability in Pakistan.
Moreover, water resources (Indus River System) have potential to generate
59,000 megawatts of hydro energy in Pakistan.
The country has gone from being water-surplus to water-stressed
and soon it is going to have water scarcity. The per-capita water availability
has reduced from approximately 5,000 cubic meters per year to around 1,000
cubic meters per year. Hospitals get clean drinking water
Of the 10% of water used in industries and for domestic use, the
same pattern of wastage of water continues. Pakistan is expected to experience
increased variability of river flows due to increased variability of
precipitation and the melting of glaciers.
Demand for irrigation water may increase due to higher
evaporation rates. Yields of wheat and basmati rice are expected to decline and
may drive production northward, subject to water availability.
Water availability for hydropower generation may decline. Hotter
temperatures are likely to increase energy demand due to increased air
conditioning requirements.
Warmer air and water temperatures may decrease the efficiency of
nuclear and thermal power plant generation. Mortality due to extreme heat waves
may increase. Urban drainage systems may be further stressed by high rainfall
and flash floods. Sea level rise and storm surges may adversely affect coastal
infrastructure and livelihoods.
Furthermore, water also affects the health and well-being status
of the population as poor quality of water is causing water-borne diseases,
such as Diarrhea (23% under-5 children suffered from Diarrhea in 2013), etc.
Around 70% of the rural population doesn’t have access to the safe drinking
water, which means they are vulnerable to water-borne diseases.
In this regard, the government’s response towards these
indicators is not very substantial. The country’s leaders are too distracted by
extremism and political instability to focus on pressing environmental issues.
Response is defined as preparedness, but in Pakistan the extreme
weather events are increasing; the super floods of 2010 affected around 20
million people in the country, and in 2011 five years of rainfall fell in just
four weeks in Sindh. In 2012, there were more floods.
In Pakistan, climate change is a current reality with devastating
consequences. The last few years of continuous flooding in the country has had
a long-term impact on farmers’ ability to produce food. Instead of coming up
with strong response and preparation to these events, the government is busy
with their own issues of accountability.
According to the UNDP Pakistan, communities are working together
to reduce the risk of flash floods in Northern Pakistan, particularly the
floods caused by glacial lakes. These glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) occur
when the ice walls containing the reservoir fail, sending entire lakes down to
inhabited areas below. Similarly, local communities improved livelihoods by
repairing water channels in Sindh. They also mentioned that women earn income
by repairing houses post floods.
In Pakistan, climate change in the form of heavy floods—due to
Himalayan glacier melting—, droughts, and changing rain patterns—1500 mm in
upper part of Pakistan—are adversely affecting the water resources that require
effective planning and sufficient resource allocations to manage draining water
resources. Pakistan had to face a loss of $9.6 billion in 2010 due to the
climate change (CC) and the floods during 2010-2014 resulted in economic loss
of $18 billion.
In the wake of the deteriorating condition of water
availability, there is growing need to allocate more fiscal resources by both
federal and provincial governments. Out of total Poverty Reduction Strategy
Paper (PRSP) expenditures (FY2016-17), around 2.4% portion was spent on water
supply and sanitation, including federal and provincial PRSP expenditures.
Comparing provincial PRSP expenditures on water supply and
sanitation, Sindh has 18% reduction in the water budget in FY2016-17 compared
to FY2015-16. Moreover, utilisation of allocated budget for water projects is
not satisfactory as around 24% under-utilisation of budget in Punjab was
reported in FY2016-17 and delayed release of funds is one of the major reasons
of this under-utilisation.
Delay in the Diamer-Bhasha dam due to the unavailability of financial
resources is another example of the inappropriate allocations for water related
projects.
Awareness must be necessary in order to minimise deceptive and
unsustainable activities, such as the use of stony water for washing cars or
irrigation of lawns and gardens. Each of us must understand that less water
usage means less wastewater production. Water supply agencies should install
meters to charge consumers based on ‘pay as you use’. In such interventions,
departments like WASA and CDA can play a major role. There is also a need to
increase the percentage of budget allocation-to-GDP for the improvement of
water and sanitation in the country.
Toxic water in Punjab’s Kot Asadullah village infamous for
causing deformities
If immediate action is not taken to address these issues, the
amount and quality of the remaining water will have a negative impact on
health, education and economic sectors.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must ensure, before
discharging it to the mainstreams, and to improve the drainage network,
ensuring higher sanitary coverage, ensuring household waste disposal,
commercial and industrial units

successful farming at different villages of the district.
The varieties give the expected
yield within 100 days and those have been found to be safe from blast disease
attack, said farmers, adding that many more people will cultivate the varieties
if they get seed in the open market.
Local NGO NAZIR is implementing the
zinc-enriched paddy farming project of “Harvest Plus Bangladesh” with the
direction of International Rice Research Institute. Harvest Plus, Colombia,
provides fund for the project.
This year 1,500 farmers have
cultivated zinc-enriched Boro paddy on 1,300 bighas of land at 65 villages of
18 unions in four upazilas of the district while only 50 farmers cultivated the
variety when the project started in Lalmonirhat in 2013, NGO official sources
said.
“The zinc-enriched Boro paddy can
be harvested within 100 days of planting and may yield up to 25 maunds per
bigha if nurtured properly. Many farmers have expressed eagerness to cultivate
it in the next season as it is safe from blast disease,” said Mosarof Hossain,
agriculture coordinator of the NGO.
BRRI-62 and 74, developed through
cross pollination with local variety, are resilient enough to fight climate
change, said Nurul Haque Sarker, executive director of NGO NAZIR.
“The local varieties contain 9 to
12 milligrams of zinc per kg while the newly invented zinc-enriched variety contains
around 24 milligrams. It will prevent zinc deficiency in human body,” he said,
referring to researchers' notes.
“I have cultivated zinc-enriched
Boro paddy on a two-bigha land and got 46 maunds of yield. We are happy as the
new variety matures within 100 days although it does not cost more than the
local variety,” said schoolteacher Amzad Hossain, 52, at Sreekhata village of
Kaliganj upazila.
“We are highly interested to
cultivate zinc-enriched variety of rice but seeds are not that available in the
open market,” said Mamtaz Ali, 58, a farmer of Lalmonirhat Sadar upazila's
Khochabari village.
Newly invented zinc-enriched rice
will play a vital role in fighting zinc and protein deficiency in human body,
especially for children and women, said Lalmonirhat Civil Surgeon Dr Kashem
Ali.
“Eating this rice could provide
useful food value for zinc enrichment for people and it will be especially
helpful to prevent and cure diarrhoea and pneumonia in children,” he said.
Of course many farmers will
cultivate zinc-enriched paddy if the seeds are available in the open market,
said Bidhubhuson Roy, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture
Extension in Lalmonirhat.
Sohel Rana, assistant director
(Seed) of Bangladesh Agriculture Development Corporation, said the corporation
is yet to go for marketing of zinc-enriched paddy although it is being
cultivated in the farmers' exhibition plots.

Ag Eyes Turn to House Floor as Farm Bill
Moves This Week
By Lesley Dixon
WASHINGTON, DC -- House
Republican Leadership is expected to bring their version of 2018 Farm Bill,
H.R. 2, to the House floor this week for debate and a vote, but the bill's fate
will first be determined by the House Rules Committee.
The House Rules Committee will meet late Tuesday to set the terms of
debate and again on Wednesday afternoon to decide which of the over 100
proposed amendments will be considered, but USA Rice is not waiting for the
final list.
"We
know there are some controversial proposed amendments that would damage or
dismantle the farm safety net," said Ben Mosely, USA Rice vice president
of government affairs. "We're
asking our members to contact their representatives now to remind them of the
rice industry's economic impact in their districts and also to urge them to
oppose amendments that would alter the commodities title that, if adopted,
compromises the rice industry's support of this bill."
Mosely said USA Rice is specifically tracking amendments that would
weaken the farm safety net, including unworkable payment limitations and means
testing reducing the access to and effectiveness of commodity and conservation
programs, and amendments that threaten crop insurance.
"USA Rice supports the positive provisions for the rice industry
in the committee-passed bill and opposes all harmful amendments that would
undermine the farm safety net and jeopardize passage. There is a short and finite timeframe to pass
a new Farm Bill before the current legislation expires on September 30,"
Mosely said. "A core purpose of the
Farm Bill is to ensure farmers have the tools they need to protect themselves
against factors beyond their control, such as weather, natural disasters,
tariffs, and trade barriers. A strong
Farm Bill in 2018 is essential to provide long-term certainty and price
protections for the rice industry in a time of steep decline in net farm
income."
USA Rice will be in touch with Congressional offices throughout the
debate to ensure that Congress understands our priorities.
"We will continue to communicate with our members as Farm Bill
developments transpire, and encourage them to ask their members of Congress to
oppose these harmful amendments and seek passage of a practical and effective
bill," said Mosely.Votes on amendments could potentially begin on
Wednesday, May 16.
Govt Confirms Rice Import of 500,000 Tons
JAKARTA, NNC -
The government confirmed the additional import of 500,000 tons of rice from
Vietnam and Thailand, which was decided in the Coordination Meeting at the
Office of the Coordinating Minister for the Economic Affairs. Trade Minister
Enggartiasto Lukita confirmed the report on The Voice Of Vietnam Online
(vov.vn) page, which states that the National Logistics Agency (Bulog) has signed
a contract to purchase 300,000,000 tons of rice from Vietnam and 200,000 from
Thailand. "Yeah, that's the inputs from April to July 2018." In the
news entitled "Import Demand Continues Boosting Vietnam's Rice
Export", it is stated that the import is the third time since 2018.
Vietnam Food Association (VFA) Chairman Nguyen Ngoc Nam confirmed the report.
Nguyen stated that Bulog has invited The Vietnam Northern Food Corporation and
The Vietnam Southern Food Corporation to supply the rice. The contract will be
realized from April to July 2018. "It's decision of coordination meeting,
not my decision. Then it is Bulog which implements. This is to increase the
government's rice reserves at least until next year. If there is no import
since the beginning, then we will have deficit," said Enggartiasto, Monday
(5/142018). Earlier in the year 2018, the government also decided to import
rice from Vietnam and Thailand amounting to 500,000 tons to strengthen
government stocks and lowered the price of the commodity which at that time
reached IDR13,000 per kilogram. Bulog Stocks on May 14, 2018 was recorded
amounting to 1,262,782 tons. A total of 453,787 tons of rice were imported and
commercial stocks were 106,186 tons. The rest is the result of Bulog local
purchase since early 2018.
Good news for rice exports – Iran
NEDA cites
urgency for rice tariff this year
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) has cited
urgency in the passage of the
Agricultural Tariffication Act to protect local farmers from cheaper imported
rice as the measure remains pending nearly a year since the Philippines gave up
the import quota protection of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Mercedita
Sombilla, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director of
Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Environment Staff, said “the government
already knows the urgency for the bill to be passed so it is just right for it
to be passed within the year.” However, she said that Senate has yet to
schedule another hearing that will discuss the bill’s passage. “Senator Win
Gatchalian and Senator Bam Aquino will sponsor the NEDA version of the bill to
fast track. They will also [discuss] with Senator Cynthia Villar about this,”
Sombilla said. Amending Republic Act (RA) No. 8178, otherwise known as the
Agricultural Tariffication Act of 1996, will make up for the lifting of the
quantitative restriction (QR) on rice imports through the imposition of 35
percent tariff on rice coming from member-countries of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) like Thailand and Vietnam. The amended bill
already passed the House of Representatives but has remained hanging in the
Senate. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said the passage of
the amended version of Agricultural Tariffication Act could pave the way for
cheaper retail price for rice. “We continue to pressure [the government] to
amend Republic Act 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act. The lifting of
Quantitative Restrictions or QRs on rice should be pursued in earnest, as it
will reduce the retail price of rice by as much as P4.00 to P7.00 per kilo.
This will increase the purchasing power of low-income households, aside from
bringing down inflation,” Pernia said last week.

Good news for rice exports – Philippines
Recently, Pakistan got an opportunity to boost exports
to Iran (Read “Good news for rice exports – Iran” published
on May 14, 2018 by this column). Philippines is another destination that
Pakistan can supply rice to even though it is not traditional market for
Pakistan and in fact, Pakistani rice exports to Philippines have dwindled in
recent years. Some background information is in order.
Once, about a decade ago, Philippines used to be world’s
biggest rice importer, importing nearly $2 billion worth of rice in 2008, as
per ITC. However, even at its peak of imports, Pakistan was not an important
supplier of rice to the country. As Philippines moved towards self-sufficiency
in rice production, its overall import numbers and Pakistan’s export declined.
Since the country is mountainous, consisting of many small islands, suitable
land for rice production is limited and hence it still imports more than a
million tons of rice a year, as per United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA). To become self-sufficient in rice, Philippines limits rice imports
through quotas at a volume identified by its National Food Authority to
prioritize buying from local farmers. This arrangement not only limits rice
supply but also boosts domestic prices— as high as twice that of world prices
in 2016. Currently, Philippines is facing a five-year high inflation rate of
above 4 percent. At nearly 10 percent, rice is the second-biggest component in
the Philippine consumer basket. As domestic supply of rice dwindles, its price
is at a three-year high adding to the inflationary pressure and prompting the
country to increase imports. Traditionally, Philippines imports from its fellow
ASEAN members Thailand and Vietnam, followed by Pakistan. Though TDAP and REAP
have sent trade delegations to boost rice exports, overall Pakistan has faced a
declining trend, though it recovered growth in the last fiscal year. This year
Pakistan has a window to increase its market share in the country. Last month,
Philippine’s National Food Authority opened a bid for 250,000 MT of rice at a
government-to-government level with Thailand and Vietnam. However, these prices
were not taken up by Thai and Vietnamese exporters. The prices were further
tweaked and opened for biding anew this month with no limitations regarding the
volume of rice that one bidder can supply to the country. Among the 16 foreign
bidders looking to bag the contract, one was a company from Pakistan. The
prices that were considered too low by Vietnamese and Thai traders were $483/MT
for 50,000 MT of 15 percent broken rice and $474/MT for 200,000 of 25 percent
broken grains. The prices quoted by the ASEAN exporters were above $500/MT. As
per PBS data, on average Pakistan’s non-basmati variety was exported at $410/MT
with total rice averaging at $477/MT this year. Therefore it is possible that
Pakistan can bag the contract for Philippines rice imports. Furthermore, this
is not the only opportunity to export to Philippines this year. NFA is looking
to import more rice in 2018 since even with the latest import order; this
supply is only expected to last for about two weeks in the rice loving nation
of Philippines. With Pakistan eyeing $27 billion in exports for the next fiscal
year, supplying traditional exports to non-traditional markets may be one
practical way to achieve the target.

USDA
trims Phl rice import projection
Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine
Star) - May 14, 2018 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines is expected to reduce rice
imports this year, but government’s move to lift quantitative restriction may
be a game-changer, the the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
said.In its latest report, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), said
the Philippines would likely import 1.1 million metric tons (MT) of rice this
year, down by eight percent from last year’s 1.2 million MT.
The USDA trimmed this year’s rice imports from the earlier
projection of 1.4 million MT amid expected better local production.
“Philippines is down 300,000 MT to 1.1 million MT on more
abundant domestic supplies,” USDA said.
“However, this forecast is subject to change, particularly in
light of ongoing government decisions related to quantitative restrictions on
imports,” it added.
Production of milled rice this year is seen to slightly increase
to 12.35 million MT.
USDA said there may be improvements in area planted as rice
areas this year will be at 4.86 million hectares, three percent higher than the
4.72 million hectares last year.
This will be complemented by yield slightly improving at 4.04 MT
per hectare from 3.93 MT per hectare.
“In some regions where rice per capita consumption has
traditionally been high, particularly in Asia, people are consuming less rice
as their diets diversify,” USDA said.
Meanwhile, local corn production may inch up two percent to
reach 8.3 million MT from last year’s 8.1 million MT.

BSP Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo said the proposed
amendments to Republic Act 8178, otherwise known as the Agricultural
Tariffication Act of 1996, could reduce inflation this year by 0.4 percentage
points if implemented in the third quarter, and by 0.2 percentage points if
implemented in the fourth quarter.

Rice tariffication to slash inflation by 0.4% this year
150SHARES4300
Lawrence Agcaoili (The Philippine Star) -
May 14, 2018 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) expects a significant reduction in inflation with
the immediate passage of the rice tariffication bill in Congress, as the staple
accounts for about nine percent of the total consumer basket.
BSP Deputy Governor Diwa
Guinigundo said the proposed amendments to Republic Act 8178, otherwise known
as the Agricultural Tariffication Act of 1996, could reduce inflation this year
by 0.4 percentage points if implemented in the third quarter, and by 0.2
percentage points if implemented in the fourth quarter.
For next year, Guinigundo said
the replacement of the quantitative restrictions on rice imports with tariff
would slash inflation by 0.6 percentage points.
He said one of the mitigants on
rising inflation is the imposition of tariff on rice imports.
“If Congress and the Senate is
able to pass the rice tariffication bill to be implemented in the third
quarter, we expect some reduction by at least 0.4 percentage point for 2018 and
next year around 0.6 percentage points. If this will be done in the fourth
quarter, we expect 0.2 percent point reduction this year,” he said.
The BSP, together with other
government agencies including the Department of Finance (DOF), as well as the
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) have been pushing for the
passage of the rice tariffication bill in Congress.
The move is seen as a significant
step in reforming the agricultural sector by removing unnecessary government
intervention in the rice market.
Once the quantitative restriction
is replaced by predictable tariffs, NEDA expects that the private sector can
respond more effectively to market signals and government can focus on
regulating to ensure food safety and fair market competition.
On the other hand, based on the
DOF estimates, the removal of the rice quantitative restriction could slash
retail prices of rice by as much as P7 per kilo.
Likewise, rice tariffication may
help mitigate the impact of the implementation of RA 10963 or the Tax Reform
For Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law on consumer prices and at the same
time lower inflation.
The central bank raised its
inflation forecast to 4.6 for this year and to 3.4 percent for next year.
Inflation rose up to a fresh
five-year high of 4.5 percent in April from 4.3 percent in March due to rising
global oil prices and the impact of the implementation of the new tax law.
This brought the average
inflation in the first four months to 4.1 percent, exceeding the two to four
percent target set by the BSP.

Rice imports fallen to 23.5 million
US dollars in February
Monday, May 14, 2018 - 13:51
Rice imports fell 34.4 percent to
23.5 million US dollars in February 2018 from a year earlier, as harvest came
in and domestic prices eased, official data showed.Sri Lanka's rice imports
surged from the second quarter of 2017 as the government cut import duties when
a drought slashed the industry.In 2017 Sri Lanka imported 300.9 million US
dollars of rice, up from just 12.8 million dollars a year ago.
However Sri Lanka had a better main cultivation season where harvests started to come around in the first quarter.
Sri Lanka also cut taxes on potatoes and onion as prices went up. Taxes on onions and potatoes have already been raised.Sri Lanka's rice, onion and potato farmers cannot produce goods at the quality or price demanded in international markets due to years of protection and cannot export competing with Indian, Pakistani or East Asian farmers.However in recent years, rice yields have gone up, partly helped by with fertilizer subsidies.

A New Farming Technique Using Drastically Less Water Is Catching On
But not everyone is on board.
By John Vidal
AMIT DAVE/REUTERS
A
farmworker in a rice paddy field in Ahmedabed, India. An unconventional method
for growing rice has been found to increase yields by 20 to 50 percent.
Filipino melon grower Denis Miguel
was intrigued to hear of a young Indian farmer
who in 2011 had broken the world record for growing rice by using an
unconventional method of cultivation that needed only half as much water and
one-tenth as many seeds but resulted in spectacular yield increases.
Miguel, from Isabela province, had
never grown rice before, but he teamed up with a local rice farmer to try out
the system. Last year, he reaped the equivalent of 10.8 tons of rice per
hectare, or four times as much rice as the farmer usually grew on that land.
He was astonished. “A harvest of
10.8 tons per hectare on a rain-fed farm which used to produce only 2.5 tons
was a great success. I was a newbie rice farmer. It was my first attempt at
rice farming. It was an eye opener to all the people who were witness,” he said
in an email.
Miguel is not alone. Reports from China, India, Southeast
Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are
regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the “system of rice
intensification” (SRI), which aims to stimulate the root system of plants
rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved
seeds and synthetic fertilizers.
Rice is the major staple crop of nearly half the world
and is primarily grown by small farmers. Seedlings are traditionally planted in
large clumps in flooded fields. One kilogram of rice typically requires about
660 gallons of water.
SRI, in contrast, involves the
careful spacing of fewer but younger plants, keeping the topsoil around the
plants well-aerated by weeding, using manure and avoiding flooding.
PARTHAJIT DATTA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
An
Indian farmer drags a wooden plank to level soil as he works in a paddy field
in Agartala, India. Many Indian farmers are adopting SRI to increase the
productivity of rice by changing the management of plants, soil, water and
nutrients.
What was a grassroots movement
spreading slowly by word of mouth since it was developed by French priest Henri de Laulanié in Madagascar in 1983 is now growing
fast as regional governments in China and India join
anti-poverty groups like Oxfam to back the
method.
According to the SRI International
Network and Resources Center at Cornell University, an estimated 10 million
rice farmers in 60 countries have adopted SRI.
“It has the potential to reduce the
amount of water, money and labor that farmers in developing countries need to
spend. Time and again, farmers have seen improvements in yield, profitability
and resilience,” says Norman Uphoff, professor of international agriculture at
Cornell.
The idea of using less to gain more
is seen as an important innovation for adapting farming to climate change and a
way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but
traditional plant breeding and genetically modified techniques have failed to
increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Uphoff.
In Bihar, one of India’s poorest
states, more than 335,000 hectares of
rice are grown using SRI methods. Scientist Anil Kumar Verma
from the rural nongovernmental organization Pran
and the state government have led a push to develop new weeding tools to help
farmers and yields have increased dramatically.
“SRI is changing the life of many
farmers. Not only is it addressing food security problems, it is also emitting
less carbon, which adds to global warming,” Verma says.
The new way to grow rice is proving
most popular in water-stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph.D.
researcher at Germany’s Hamburg University of Technology. “Rice growing in
Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river
Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and
warmer summers.”
YAWAR NAZIR/GETTY IMAGES
Kashmiri
farmers tie lumps of grass to make hay bales in a paddy field during harvesting
season.
“SRI promises to be a viable
alternative, not just from the water-savings perspective but because it offers
better yields and soil conditions. Different studies, both at the experimental
level and farmer-participative level, have shown that SRI improves yields with
less water,” Shah adds.
Some academics, the global seed
industry and the international community have rejected reports
of “fantastic” yields, accusing farmers of falsifying records and researchers
of carelessness and “non-science.” But more than 600 articles, collated by SRI
International at Cornell University, have shown benefits.
“The last published [academic]
critique of SRI was in 2006,” Uphoff says. “There is nothing more to prove. The
original hostility has gone. It may have been linked to the fact that SRI came
from the grassroots and not the well-resourced global agricultural industry,
which for 50 years has invested heavily in genetics, mechanization, improved
seeds and the use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides.”
But, Uphoff says, the early
opposition has resulted in comparatively little scientific research being
conducted into SRI and a slow uptake by funders. “SRI was made
controversial within the academic and donor communities. Donors have been
reluctant to get involved although there are a variety of initiatives at the
country or regional level,” he says.
Large donor agencies such as the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation say they prefer to invest in high-performance
seeds and genetically modified technologies.
“[We fund] investments in rice
breeding and genetics because we believe innovations in these areas have the
greatest potential to empower smallholder farmers and lift their families out
of poverty. We don’t currently invest in rice crop management research,” said
Gina Ivey, head of global policy for agricultural development with the Gates
Foundation.
Attitudes are changing, however. In
2017, SRI was endorsed by the science journal Nature and the United Nations,
and the World Bank has begun to promote it in India and Egypt.
“Clearly SRI is one of the
technology options that has the potential to increase paddy yields for small
farmers. We have invested in scaling up SRI systems in rice in both Bihar and
Tamil Nadu [states] and based on our experience have observed that there is
potential of more than 25 percent increase in the yield [and a] 64 percent
increase in output per unit of water for SRI,” says Vinay Kumar Vutukuru, a
World Bank senior agricultural specialist.
Uphoff calls for governments to
study the experiences of grassroots farmers: “The principles of SRI can be
applied to many crops. It is a genie that can no longer be stuffed back into
the lamp. We could have accomplished so much more for farmers, consumers and
for the environment if we had even some very modest support [from international
donors] and hadn’t had to rely on personal resources and a lot of volunteered
effort.”
