Rice prices must be kept steady
Updated June 23, 2018, 3:58 PM
Amid reports of rising prices of
consumer goods, rising fuel costs, moves to increase water rates, proposals to
raise light rail transit fares, and a record low peso value of P53 to the US dollar,
one bright item for consumers stood out in this week’s reports – a drop in the
price of rice, the national staple.
Rice imported by the National
Food Authority arrived last week and was unloaded at Subic Port. Another
shipment arrived at the Cebu International Port for distribution in Central
Visayas. Other shipments arrived at the Surigao port for Mindanao. With the
impending availability of the imported stocks, NFA rice prices are expected to
drop to P27 to P32 per kilo. This in turn should cause the prices of commercial
rice stocks to fall to P36 to P38 per kilo.
Rice is one commodity whose price
the government cannot allow to rise beyond the capacity of the country’s
poorest sectors. This is why, despite the Department of Agriculture’s
assurances that the country’s farmers can now provide most of what the nation
needs, we continue to purchase hundreds of thousands of tons of cheap rice from
Vietnam and Thailand.
When NFA stocks fell some weeks
ago, with cavans of rice down to a few levels on the bodega floors, the prices
of all kinds of rice started rising in the country’s markets. President Duterte
immediately ordered new importations. These are the ones which have now arrived
in Subic, Cebu, and Surigao. Photos of rice cavans rising all the way to the
ceiling have appeared in the country’s newspapers and the reassuring sight has
eased the nation’s fears of shortage and sent prices down.
The cheap imported rice, with 15
to 25 percent broken grains, assure the poorer families that they will continue
to have an adequate supply for their needs. Most of the nation will be
consuming the rice produced by our own farmers.
This local production has been
steadily on the rise over the years, with the increasing use of high-yielding
varieties, the increasing areas now having free irrigation, rising farm
mechanization, and the rising number of famers’ cooperatives and other
associations benefiting from the economies of scale.
Secretary of Agriculture Emmanuel
Piñol has said the Philippines should reach the goal of self-sufficiency by
2020 under a program that includes over a million hectares of hybrid rice,
installment of small irrigation systems, the use of solar power for irrigation
nationwide, and added financing for farmers.
President Duterte says that
anytime rice prices rise too much for the poorer folk, they must be brought
down with rice importations, such as what was done these last few weeks. But
the ultimate goal remains – that one day we will not need to import from
Vietnam or Thailand because our own farmers will be producing enough for our
people’s needs.

Cost of some US goods to rise by 25% on Friday
The EU announces duties will be applied
to €2.8bn worth of US imports such as rice, sweetcorn, whiskey and playing
cards.

impose retaliatory tariffs
·
The EU has said its retaliatory tariffs on
US goods will kick-in from Friday -
six weeks after America slapped import duties on the bloc's steel and aluminium
products.
Officials in Brussels, spearheading
the member states' response, said the list of US imports that will now face an
extra duty at the EU border includes steel and aluminium products, agricultural
goods and a variety of other products.
Duties of 25% will be applied to
the raft of US goods worth €2.8bn - including bourbon, make-up and motorbikes -
from 22 June.
The move has the potential to make
many items commonly sold on supermarket shelves - like long grain rice,
cranberry juice, orange juice and sweetcorn - jump in price.
There is also a notable addition at
the end of the long list of products - a 10% tariff on playing cards.

"We did not want to be in this
position. However, the unilateral and unjustified decision of the US to impose
steel and aluminium tariffs on the EU means that we are left with no other
choice," said the bloc's trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
"The rules of international
trade, which we have developed over the years hand in hand with our American
partners, cannot be violated without a reaction from our side.
"Our response is measured,
proportionate and fully in line with WTO rules. Needless to say, if the US
removes its tariffs, our measures will also be removed."
The EU announced its response on Wednesday as the US and China were locked in
a war of words over a threat of an extension of
tariffs.
Last week, the United States
imposed 25% tariffs on $50bn of Chinese products, with Beijing immediately
retaliating by matching the US levy.
However, President Donald Trump has
now asked officials to identify a further $200bn of Chinese goods to be subject
to a 10% tariff.

Gov. Ambode’s Aide Cautions On Border Closure Against Rice
Importation
Okalawon said that this was to avoid consumption deficit.
Sanni Okanlawon, the Special Adviser on Food Security to
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, on Friday advised the Federal
Government to apply caution as it planned to close the nation’s borders against
rice importation.
Okanlawon said that this was to avoid consumption deficit.
Okanlawon told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that though the closure would boost the productivity of local farmers, he added that the ripples effects on certain aspects of the rice value-chain should also be considered.
He said that the milling capacity of the country was at the lowest level and might not be able to meet the production and consumption deficit of the commodity.
He said: “The proposed border closure by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is a laudable one that will boost local production of rice, which is the cascade effect.
“However, let me caution here that before such a step is taken, there must be improved milling capacities across the country.
“Although, the smuggling of rice is not helping matters, our rice-milling capacity as a nation is inadequate. I understand the country produces 500 million metric tons of rice paddy.
“How much of that production do we have the capacity to mill; how many mills do we have in Nigeria, these are questions we should consider.”
The aide said that the Lagos State Government was in the process of establishing a rice mill in Imota, near Epe that would be able to produce 32,000 metric tons per hour when it started operations.
According to him, after such high-milling sites have been established across the country, then will the border closure stop the rice smuggling.
Okanlawon said that when the milling capacity of the country was improved, then we would be able to meet our consumption deficit.
“Lagos State has taken several steps to upscale and improve milling capacity; and if other states can do same, then, we will have enough, beat our chest and we can boldly close our borders.
“I want to believe that the minister meant the closure of all the illegal borders.”
The special adviser expressed fears over the various illegal routes in some states of the country that had limited security personnel.
NAN reports that the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, had on June 19, ordered the closure of the land borders to guide against smuggling of rice.

‘perpetual’ rice fund once QR goes
June 21, 2018
By Jasper Emmanuel Y. Arcalas
& Cai U. Ordinario
THE Senate Committee on Food and Agriculture wants to
perpetually earmark at least P10 billion to the rice sector annually once
the quantitative restriction (QR) on the staple is scrapped.
Sen. Cynthia A. Villar, committee chairman, said she will
incorporate a provision mandating the allocation of P10 billion to the rice
sector every year in the Senate’s version of the rice-tariffication bill.
This provision, Villar said, would improve the productivity of
rice farmers and help them become competitive with their Southeast Asian
counterparts who can produce rice at a lower cost.
“I have conditions that they [economic managers] have to meet.
For example, they have to set aside P10 billion for rice farmers to help them
mechanize and buy [better] seeds to hike their income and make them
competitive,” she told reporters at the sidelines of a coastal cleaning event
in Kawit, Cavite, on June 20.
“Even if the government imposes a 35-percent tariff on rice from
Vietnam, if our farmers are not competitive, they will still be edged out by
foreign producers,” Villar added.
She said the P10-billion fund should be initially shouldered by
the national government. Later on, the amount can be drawn from tariffs
collected from rice imports.
“There will be a rice competitiveness enhancement fund [RCEF]
from the tariffication. But if we are going to wait for that, then our farmers
would lose right away,” she said. “The government has to frontload P10
billion.”
Villar said she is “lukewarm” to the House of Representatives’s
proposal to limit the effectivity of the RCEF to six years.
“[The RCEF] should be perpetual unless the [law] is amended. For
me, I am not keen on a six-year effectivity period. It should only be removed
once the farmers are competitive,” she added.
The House version of the rice-tariffication bill includes a
provision mandating the creation of the RCEF, which would consist of all the
tariffs earned from rice imports. But if necessary, Congress could pass a
measure amending the law to extend the life of the RCEF.
The earlier House version indicated that the RCEF would be
perpetual. It was later on amended to reflect the recommendation of the
Department of Finance to limit the fund’s effectivity to six years.
Removing the QR on rice by amending Republic Act 8178 would allow the government
to generate P27 billion annually, according to a paper published by the
Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS).
The PIDS paper noted that the
projected revenues would come from the importation of some 2.2 million metric
tons of rice at a 35-percent tariff. Purchases of imported rice are expected to
increase once the government removes the
QR.
Economists and some farmers’ groups said the P10 billion is not
enough to make Filipino rice planters competitive.
“Our preference is to earmark all tariffs collected from rice
imports to the sector, as indicated in the House version of the bill,” Raul Q.
Montemayor, national business manager and program officer of the Federation of
Free Farmers, told the BusinessMirror.
“The P10 billion is less than what is expected be collected in
just the first year. We basically support the House version but would prefer a
longer earmarking period,” Montemayor added.
He said his group would recommend an effectivity period of 10
years for the RCEF, which could be reviewed to determine whether it should be
extended.
Dr. Rolando T. Dy, executive director of the University of Asia
and the Pacific’s Center for Food and Agri Business, said the life of the RCEF
should be limited to only 10 years.
“I think 10 years is enough to be competitive or not. The key is
choice. Either [rice farmers] become productive, or they diversity their crops
in 10 years,” Dy told the BusinessMirror.
‘Counterproductive’
Some experts said, however, that the creation of a fund to help
farmers cope with the removal of the QR could discourage competitiveness,
especially if it does not have a clear timeline.
Sans a “time bound” fund, former Tariff Commissioner George
Manzano told the BusinessMirror that rice farmers could become “complacent.”
“It may be better if the fund is
time-bound or there are performance measures for it to be extended,” Manzano
said in a phone interview on Thursday.
Manzano said the fund is a form of cash transfer that can be
periodically reviewed. This, he said, is crucial, since the source of the fund
will initially come from the national government and then from tariffs
collected by the Bureau of Customs.
Not a subsidy
He also said the rice fund should not be considered as a form of
subsidy, which is widely frowned upon by other member-countries of the World
Trade Organization (WTO).
National Economic and Development Authority Undersecretary for Planning and
Policy Rosemarie G. Edillon shared this sentiment and said that the rice fund
is a form of “welfare assistance” to poor farmers.
“We think the WTO will agree with the social objectives of the
fund, given the poverty incidence in the sector,” Edillon told the
BusinessMirror via SMS.
She said one of the goals of the fund is to help rice farmers increase
their competitiveness and diversify to other crops.
“The details of the fund are still being worked out. Broadly,
it’s intended to increase competitiveness, in the case of productive rice
farms. For unproductive farms, it will support diversification,” Edillon said.

Rice price dip temporary
Weather, Vietnam crop could cause drop

- NEWSPAPER
SECTION: BUSINESS
| WRITER: PHUSADEE
ARUNMAS
A high-ranking state official and a rice
exporter came out in concert to defend a recent dip in rice prices, saying the
fall is short-lived.
Deputy
Commerce Minister Chutima Bunyapraphasara said the recent price drop might stem
from purchase delays by rice importers and heavy rains deterring transport and
rice delivery.The Internal Trade Department reported domestic prices of 5% white milled rice (newly harvested) had risen to 12,900-13,000 baht a tonne in late April, while the export prices of 5% white rice announced by Thai Rice Exporters Association were quoted at US$459 per tonne as of April 25.
Both prices remained steady until early June,
when the department reported domestic 5% white rice prices dropped to
12,100-12,200 baht a tonne, while export prices were quoted by the association
on June 13 at $437 a tonne.
Ms Chutima said there is nothing to worry about as the decline is only
short term. Thailand's rice prospects remain in good shape and massive purchase
orders for Thai rice have accrued from earlier months from Malaysia, Indonesia,
China and the Philippines.She said more purchase orders in the second half of the year are anticipated from China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Africa.
"The Commerce Ministry remains confident of achieving its rice export target of 10 million tonnes this year," she said.
Charoen Laothamatas, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, said the recent fall for both for the domestic and export rice prices likely stems from lower imports after traders ramped up their purchases earlier, as indicated by Thailand's rice export figures, which rose 4% in the first five months of this year to 4.5 million tonnes.
"Average exports of 900,000 tonnes a month is considered high and the shipments were mostly white rice," he said.
Mr Charoen said the export price dip was partly because of new supply from Vietnam's summer-autumn rice crop, scheduled for harvest in late June. The new supply has weakened demand for Thai grains, leading certain importers to buy rice from Vietnam, he said.

US Fostering Trade Relationship with Japan
Amidst Other Ongoing Trade Disputes
Under Secretary of Agriculture
for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, Ted McKinney led a trip last week
to help foster a better trade relationship with Japan. The trade mission
was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and had
approximately 100 participants, making the effort the largest in USDA history.
The goal of the trip was to engage new contacts and hopefully garner additional
customers for U.S. agricultural products in Japan’s two largest cities, Tokyo
and Osaka.
Japan is currently the fourth
largest market for American agricultural products, with nearly $12 billion
worth of shipments being exported in 2017. While the more lucrative
commodities exported to Japan were beef and pork products, the U.S. rice
industry has a significant interest in cultivating a better trade relationship
with Japan.
USA Rice Asia Promotion Programs
Director Jim Guinn joined the group in Japan and spoke with several trade
associations and various rice importers. While opinions differ as to what
domestic rice production will look like in Japan over the next ten years,
market data indicates that rice importers and foodservice distributors have a
significant interest in American rice.
Japan is the second largest
single export market for U.S. milled rice at more than 661 million pounds, with
a value of nearly $200 million. However, there is growing pressure coming
from Australia having short grain rice that is becoming more competitive in
price compared to Calrose medium grain rice coming from the U.S.
“There are two types of
foodservice end users currently using imported U.S. rice,” said Guinn.
“Those who decide to purchase based solely on the lower price of imported rice
and another group who appreciate the versatility and end use characteristics of
U.S. medium grain. Indications are the larger and growing segment is the
latter group.”
BOC says rice discharge halted by bad weather
June 21, 2018, 4:36 PM
By Betheena Kae Unite
Port congestion in Port of Manila
was not the reason behind the delay of unloading of rice intended for the
National Food Authority but bad weather, the port’s top official said Thursday.
The reason why the rice imports,
which are intended for Metro Manila, have yet to be completely discharged from
the vessel was due to the weather condition these past few days, Port of
Manila District Collector Erastus Sandino Austria said.
Around 25,000 MT of imported rice from Vietnam are being unloaded
to trucks at the Naval Supply Depot (NSD) in Subic Bay Freeport Zone on
Wednesday.

(Jonas Reyes / MANILA BULLETIN)
“We cannot accurately call it port
congestion because this is just a natural side-effect of bad weather
condition,” Austria said.
According to the Customs official,
the ongoing unloading of rice in was cut short at the Harbor Center, a
composite unit under the Port of Manila classified as a subport.
Bulk shipments that pass through the
port, Austria explained, are weather-dependent when it comes to discharging.
“It is the prerogative of the
captain of the vessel as well as the consignee whether they will proceed with
discharging during heavy downpour because the goods that are usually unloaded
here are rice or fertilizers. And these cargoes are very sensitive to weather
conditions,” Austria stressed.
“Naturally, the captain will
discourage continuous discharging during heavy rains because it increases the
liability of the carrier over the cargoes that are still within their custody.
But as soon as the weather condition clears up, the discharging continuous,” he
added.
Austria also noted that these kinds
of shipments are not shipped in a container van. The cargoes are usually
exposed, making them exposed to weather conditions.
“We really have to stop discharging
and again it is not the prerogative of the Bureau of Customs to continue
discharging or not but rather the consignee, the captain of the vessel. All
customs processes of the shipment were also completed,” the collector said.
Villanueva: Of
rice, life and an ailing society
“RICE is life.”
Filipinos are known for their love of food, and meals are incomplete without rice. This just shows how important rice is in the lives of Filipinos.Then President Aquino declared the 2013 as the National Year of Rice (NYR) aims for rice self-sufficiency by promoting the RICEponsibility of Filipinos for better health, reducing rice wastage, and valuing farmers’ hard work. As a result, the Philippines achieved the highest rice harvest that year, and according to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), the country achieved 97 percent rice self-sufficiency then.
At the start of 2018, news spread that the buffer stock of rice of the National Food Authority (NFA) is reaching its depletion. Warehouses of the NFA across the archipelago were reportedly already almost empty. This resulted to the shortage of the cheapest rice in the market. The remaining stocks were rationed. Consumers can only purchase a maximum of three kilos at a time.
Consumers are forced to buy the more expensive commercial rice, where the cheapest is sold at P40 per kilo, compared to price of NFA rice sold as low as P27 per kilo.
Considering that the family’s budget is essentially the same weekly, semi-monthly or monthly, with the more expensive goods, the family would feel poorer because their purchasing power is lesser. They would either lessen their consumption of rice or would spend less on other necessities.
Consequently, commercial rice became more expensive as a reaction to the decrease in the supply of rice in the market and the reduced competition from a cheaper type of rice. Note that the demand for rice did not change significantly from this price increase because rice is considered as a demand inelastic good (a good of which the consumption is not significantly affected by a price change).
Last February, NFA’s policy making council approved the importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice from Thailand for P24,000 per metric ton (or P24/kg), which was expected to arrive three months after.
The Philippines is rich with land resources used for agriculture, thus, still considered as an agricultural country (although a greater portion of the GDP is attributed to the output of services sector). A lingering question is that as an agricultural country, why is the Philippines considered as the second largest importer of rice worldwide?
Surprisingly, the Philippines has been importing rice for over a century already. Prof. Davidson (2016) of the National University of Singapore notes that at the latter part of the 1800s, the Philippines was already experiencing rice deficit, due to Spain’s trade constraints, loss of China as a trading partner to Siam, and effects of years of El Nino occurrences since 1870s.
While waiting for the imported stocks to arrive, NFA in its effort to beef up their stocks, chose to buy from domestic farmers at a price no higher than P17 per kilo. Another question in mind is, “If NFA can buy rice from Thailand for P24 per kilogram, why is it that NFA cannot buy rice from our farmers for no more than P17 per kilogram?”
Unfortunately, NFA cannot directly compete with private rice traders who can buy rice at a higher price. The budget of NFA just cannot match the farm gate prices offered by traders. Although President Duterte ordered the increase of the buying price by as much as P3 per kilo so that NFA can compete with the private traders, NEDA expressed their concern as this would lead to relatively huge inflation. I have no idea if this even push through.
Even if the government can match that of the traders, the reality is that farmers would still end up selling their produce to the traders whom they are deeply indebted to. The traders are the people that the farmers run to for their farm needs. They would borrow funds from the traders to buy seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and for other farm-related expenses and, of course, interest is charged.
Come harvest time, the traders collect from the farmers. The farmers are forced to sell their produce to the traders, who will deduct the farmers’ loan and give back the excess to the farmer, which they would make do until the next harvest season.
The poor farmers are left with no choice but to avail of these oppressive facilities even if government financial institutions like LandBank, cooperative and rural banks aim to assist them. Hazel Tanchuling of Rice Watch and Action Network in an interview in 2014 disclosed that about one percent of small farmers have access to these formal credit facilities, mainly due to their stringent documentary requirements.
PSA reported that prices of rice in April have risen by about 4.5% from January. The higher price of rice contributed to inflation bloating further. Aware of this pressing problem, President Duterte last April ordered private rice traders to help the government augment cheap rice supply in the market by selling rice by as low as P39 per kilogram.
Honestly, I don’t have any idea if there were traders who actually heeded the President’s call.
According to Celia Reyes, et. al. (2008) of CBMS Philippines, the impact of rising price of rice (and fuel) differs among various groups. Urban households are more affected by the price increases compared to those in the rural areas. The poorest households are the most vulnerable and the most adversely affected by increase in the price of rice. These households are coping by modifying their consumption patterns, increasing amount spent on food, and health or education would take the burden.
Sacrificing these two necessities would definitely have long-run effects on the households.
Rice is not just food; it is life. The problem on rice does not only denote the prospective nutrition and hunger problems that are experienced by Filipinos. It is a reflection of a deeper, systemic problem in our society nowadays.
Firstly, despite the natural resilience of Filipinos and the constant reminder of, “kapag maikli ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot.” I truly believe that this problem could have been avoided if the government officials were responsible enough to ensure food security in our country.
They had to wait until their warehouses are almost empty before they had to do something. This with the naiveté that all matters are in order. No shady deals and the like.
Secondly, our country is rich in natural and human resources. The Philippines is considered as an agricultural country yet we are the second largest importer of rice at present.
In the 1960s, our competency in rice production and research was recognized with the establishment of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). I believe we have a lot of potential in rice production. However, brain drain is happening. The best and the brightest scientists leave the country for greener pastures. If they were given enough incentive and competitive compensation, they would choose to stay and work towards sustainable rice self-sufficiency.
Thirdly, the poor farmers are left without support from the government, and are pushed to go to oppressive lenders. It is ironic that those who toil for our food are the ones experiencing hunger. Make agricultural credit accessible to those who need it the most.
I was able to prove in my master’s theses that agricultural credit has no impact on the agricultural output, where it should be one variable that could increase output exponentially. However, this support for the farmers has not been handled properly, e.g. Fertilizer Scam and Jocjoc Bolante, which until now the embezzlers have not yet been punished.
Support the farmers and this will ensure our self-sufficiency.
Finally, the impact of the rising price of rice may differ whether one is an urban or rural dweller, and the poorest households may be the most vulnerable, however, the fact is everyone is affected by this problem.
Due to these price increases, we are forced to forego of other important needs in order to suffice the need for food. Some may have foregone health when instead of buying medicines for a sick member of the household, rice was bought. Others have foregone education, children from the household dropped out of school because it was a choice of buying food or buying pencil or paper.
The long-run effects when these two are foregone are unimaginable. I am afraid that we will have a sick and illiterate society in the future if the government fails to install safety nets for this problem. It is about time for the people at the top of bureaucracy to focus on what is more important. Stop wasting government resources in addressing resultant problems. Drugs is a result of a more complex problem which is hunger, poverty. When the root of the problem is addressed, solutions to all other problems will follow.
Filipinos are known for their love of food, and meals are incomplete without rice. This just shows how important rice is in the lives of Filipinos.Then President Aquino declared the 2013 as the National Year of Rice (NYR) aims for rice self-sufficiency by promoting the RICEponsibility of Filipinos for better health, reducing rice wastage, and valuing farmers’ hard work. As a result, the Philippines achieved the highest rice harvest that year, and according to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), the country achieved 97 percent rice self-sufficiency then.
At the start of 2018, news spread that the buffer stock of rice of the National Food Authority (NFA) is reaching its depletion. Warehouses of the NFA across the archipelago were reportedly already almost empty. This resulted to the shortage of the cheapest rice in the market. The remaining stocks were rationed. Consumers can only purchase a maximum of three kilos at a time.
Consumers are forced to buy the more expensive commercial rice, where the cheapest is sold at P40 per kilo, compared to price of NFA rice sold as low as P27 per kilo.
Considering that the family’s budget is essentially the same weekly, semi-monthly or monthly, with the more expensive goods, the family would feel poorer because their purchasing power is lesser. They would either lessen their consumption of rice or would spend less on other necessities.
Consequently, commercial rice became more expensive as a reaction to the decrease in the supply of rice in the market and the reduced competition from a cheaper type of rice. Note that the demand for rice did not change significantly from this price increase because rice is considered as a demand inelastic good (a good of which the consumption is not significantly affected by a price change).
Last February, NFA’s policy making council approved the importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice from Thailand for P24,000 per metric ton (or P24/kg), which was expected to arrive three months after.
The Philippines is rich with land resources used for agriculture, thus, still considered as an agricultural country (although a greater portion of the GDP is attributed to the output of services sector). A lingering question is that as an agricultural country, why is the Philippines considered as the second largest importer of rice worldwide?
Surprisingly, the Philippines has been importing rice for over a century already. Prof. Davidson (2016) of the National University of Singapore notes that at the latter part of the 1800s, the Philippines was already experiencing rice deficit, due to Spain’s trade constraints, loss of China as a trading partner to Siam, and effects of years of El Nino occurrences since 1870s.
While waiting for the imported stocks to arrive, NFA in its effort to beef up their stocks, chose to buy from domestic farmers at a price no higher than P17 per kilo. Another question in mind is, “If NFA can buy rice from Thailand for P24 per kilogram, why is it that NFA cannot buy rice from our farmers for no more than P17 per kilogram?”
Unfortunately, NFA cannot directly compete with private rice traders who can buy rice at a higher price. The budget of NFA just cannot match the farm gate prices offered by traders. Although President Duterte ordered the increase of the buying price by as much as P3 per kilo so that NFA can compete with the private traders, NEDA expressed their concern as this would lead to relatively huge inflation. I have no idea if this even push through.
Even if the government can match that of the traders, the reality is that farmers would still end up selling their produce to the traders whom they are deeply indebted to. The traders are the people that the farmers run to for their farm needs. They would borrow funds from the traders to buy seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and for other farm-related expenses and, of course, interest is charged.
Come harvest time, the traders collect from the farmers. The farmers are forced to sell their produce to the traders, who will deduct the farmers’ loan and give back the excess to the farmer, which they would make do until the next harvest season.
The poor farmers are left with no choice but to avail of these oppressive facilities even if government financial institutions like LandBank, cooperative and rural banks aim to assist them. Hazel Tanchuling of Rice Watch and Action Network in an interview in 2014 disclosed that about one percent of small farmers have access to these formal credit facilities, mainly due to their stringent documentary requirements.
PSA reported that prices of rice in April have risen by about 4.5% from January. The higher price of rice contributed to inflation bloating further. Aware of this pressing problem, President Duterte last April ordered private rice traders to help the government augment cheap rice supply in the market by selling rice by as low as P39 per kilogram.
Honestly, I don’t have any idea if there were traders who actually heeded the President’s call.
According to Celia Reyes, et. al. (2008) of CBMS Philippines, the impact of rising price of rice (and fuel) differs among various groups. Urban households are more affected by the price increases compared to those in the rural areas. The poorest households are the most vulnerable and the most adversely affected by increase in the price of rice. These households are coping by modifying their consumption patterns, increasing amount spent on food, and health or education would take the burden.
Sacrificing these two necessities would definitely have long-run effects on the households.
Rice is not just food; it is life. The problem on rice does not only denote the prospective nutrition and hunger problems that are experienced by Filipinos. It is a reflection of a deeper, systemic problem in our society nowadays.
Firstly, despite the natural resilience of Filipinos and the constant reminder of, “kapag maikli ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot.” I truly believe that this problem could have been avoided if the government officials were responsible enough to ensure food security in our country.
They had to wait until their warehouses are almost empty before they had to do something. This with the naiveté that all matters are in order. No shady deals and the like.
Secondly, our country is rich in natural and human resources. The Philippines is considered as an agricultural country yet we are the second largest importer of rice at present.
In the 1960s, our competency in rice production and research was recognized with the establishment of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). I believe we have a lot of potential in rice production. However, brain drain is happening. The best and the brightest scientists leave the country for greener pastures. If they were given enough incentive and competitive compensation, they would choose to stay and work towards sustainable rice self-sufficiency.
Thirdly, the poor farmers are left without support from the government, and are pushed to go to oppressive lenders. It is ironic that those who toil for our food are the ones experiencing hunger. Make agricultural credit accessible to those who need it the most.
I was able to prove in my master’s theses that agricultural credit has no impact on the agricultural output, where it should be one variable that could increase output exponentially. However, this support for the farmers has not been handled properly, e.g. Fertilizer Scam and Jocjoc Bolante, which until now the embezzlers have not yet been punished.
Support the farmers and this will ensure our self-sufficiency.
Finally, the impact of the rising price of rice may differ whether one is an urban or rural dweller, and the poorest households may be the most vulnerable, however, the fact is everyone is affected by this problem.
Due to these price increases, we are forced to forego of other important needs in order to suffice the need for food. Some may have foregone health when instead of buying medicines for a sick member of the household, rice was bought. Others have foregone education, children from the household dropped out of school because it was a choice of buying food or buying pencil or paper.
The long-run effects when these two are foregone are unimaginable. I am afraid that we will have a sick and illiterate society in the future if the government fails to install safety nets for this problem. It is about time for the people at the top of bureaucracy to focus on what is more important. Stop wasting government resources in addressing resultant problems. Drugs is a result of a more complex problem which is hunger, poverty. When the root of the problem is addressed, solutions to all other problems will follow.

would come with a new model that should improve the pricing of rice. – The
Malaysian Insight pic by Hasnoor Hussain, June 21, 2018.
PUTRAJAYA’S special committee to study Bernas’ monopoly of the
rice industry will present its findings and recommendations to the cabinet in
August, said Salahuddin Ayub.
The agriculture and agro-based industry minister said the
committee would come with a new model that should improve pricing of the
staple.
"Bernas has a concession that ends in 2021, so we will have
to look into that again first," he said at the Lembaga Pertubuhan Peladang
Tower today.
The monopoly of the Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary-owned Bernas on rice
imports will be studied by the committee set up by Putrajaya to look at
monopolies in four government entities.
The committee is chaired by Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali.
Salahuddin said the committee studying the matter comprises the
Agriculture and Agro-based Ministry, Transport Ministry, and Health Ministry.
"The committee will be carrying out workshops and studies
on how they will introduce the new model."
Salahuddin also said that it had urged the National Agriculture
Advisory Council (NAAC) and the Selangor Agricultural Department to come up
with proposals for the new model.
NAAC was set up early this month to help the government raise
the levels of national food security and agricultural exports.
Salahuddin said that Bernas was also welcomed to submit
proposals for the new model.
"We cannot take an unfair approach. Bernas can also come up
with the proposals.
"There must be representation from all parties. The new
model is open to all players.
"Azmin will soon be meeting all the committee
members."
He also said that the objective of the committee and the new
model was to bring down the price of rice.
"Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed that looking
into Bernas again is crucial to the country and the people.
"The committee is expected to complete their study by the
middle of July." – June 21, 2018.
Partners collaborate to boost
rice production, distribution
21 June 2018
Supplying West Africa Traders (SWAT) and Cultivating New Frontier
in Agriculture (CNFA) in collaboration with Liberia Agriculture Development
Activity (LADA) Wednesday, June 20 signed a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to
boost production and distribution of local rice and empower farmers in support
of government’s pro-poor agenda.
CNFA/LADA is under the United
States Government’s feed the future initiative with funding from the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The goal of LADA is to increase incomes of smallholder farmers (SHFs) through increasing private sector investment in the Liberia’s agribusiness sector.
The PPP agreement with SWAT supports component II of the CNFA/LADA program which calls for market facilitation and policy advocacy for Liberian farmers and actors along LADA’s four supply chains (rice, cassava, vegetables and aquaculture).

SWAT, one of the importers of
rice in the country in consultation with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry
continues conversation with CNFA/LADA that led to the conclusion of the PPP
agreement.
The agreement, according to the
two institutions, aims to boost distribution of quality locally grown rice,
while empowering rice farmers to increase production.
The partnership seeks to achieve an annual good quality milled rice production of roughly 15,000 metric tons in Liberia, which would help reduce imports by 30 percent at end of 2020.

Under the agreement, SWAT will
support development of rice processing capacity by providing technical advice
to local processors, purchasing local quality rice that meets established
specifications and eventually investing in local processing.
The company will consider
provision of auxiliary services such as warehousing, transportation and
equipment lease to rice sector actors, among others.
On the other hand, CNFA/LADA will support procurement of rice processing mills for local entrepreneurs to establish or expand private sector agro-enterprises, promote full-time operation of mills procured with LADA support.

situation is not only a question of food security and food sovereignty. It is
also an important issue for the use of foreign exchange and for the overall
Liberian economy,” he said.
He pledged the unflinching
support of CNFA/LADA to ensure the partnership succeeds and boost the
agriculture sector of the country. The signing ceremony was witnessed by
officials of the Ministries of Commerce, Finance and Agriculture as well as
other partners. Agriculture Minister Mogana Flomo pledged the commitment

Jasmine eyes 40pc growth in next five years
- June 22, 2018 @ 9:45pm
SHAH ALAM: Rice producer Jasmine
Food Corporation (Jasmine) Sdn Bhd is eyeing a 40 per cent capacity growth in
the next five years with target to increase capacity to 20,000 tonnes per
month.
Chief executive officer Lim Swee
Keat said the company currently is at maximum capacity of 14,000 tonnes per
month, and with the introduction of higher technology and efficient production,
it would be to increase production.
"We will be spending about
RM30 million for the technology upgrade and other costs involved. With the
upgrade, we will be able to increase the capacity to 40 per cent higher.
"We are also targeting about
12 per cent in market share following the implement of the expansion plans in
the next five years," he told NST Business and Harian Metro in a recent
exclusive interview.
Jasmine distributes and markets a
range of rice in Malaysia with products including fragrant rice, basmathi rice,
imported and local white rice, specialty rice, brown rice, glutinous rice and
rice vermicelli.
In 1997, Jasmine became a
subsidiary of Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), importing a wide variety of rice
from Thailand, Myanmar, China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Australia and USA.
With the recent announcement of
the abolishment of the goods and services tax (GST), Lim said Jasmine’s rice
prices will remain the same despite the return of the sales and services tax
(SST).
“It does not impact us much as we
are zero rated. We can ask to be exempted for other items such plastic bags.
“Under the SST, we cannot claim
the government for the tax and we have to pay the supplier. With the return of
SST, impact will be minimal to the customers.
“Other tax will be absorbed by us
because not all things are subjected to the 10 per cent SST. Local industry is
also regulated so price hike is not permitted,” he added.
Prime Minister Tun Mahathir
Mohamed recently said the government will be relooking into existing
monopolistic policies in the country.
“We will decide whether to
abolish it entirely, expand or limit these existing policies,” he said after
chairing a weekly Cabinet meeting at Kompleks Perdana Putra.
Mahathir cited an example of
monopolistic policies existing within the rice import industry in the country.
“We have to look into its
operation to see whether it is good for the country,” he added.
Lim said rice is a highly
regulated industry. Malaysia imports 60 per cent of rice for consumer
consumption. It is considered the staple food for the country.
“We are also leaning towards
producing for the middle to high-end products with emphasis on the healthy rice
as well as fragrant rice while maintaining the lower end white rice production.
Jasmine’s mill is located in
Tunjang, Alor Setar on a 25 acre site.
The Tunjang mill processes padi
that is obtained from local farms and processing capacity stands at 50,000
tonnes per annum.

2018 Farm Bill
Passes House; Senate Version Next Up
By Jamison Cruce
WASHINGTON, DC -- Yesterday,
the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the Farm Bill, The
Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018 (H.R. 2), by a vote of 213-211, with no
Democrats supporting the bill. Several
provisions advocated for by USA Rice were included in this version of the
bill: maintenance and enhancement of a
strong farm safety net for producers, expansion to the definition of family in
determining actively engaged participants on the farm, and reduction of
burdensome paperwork and increased access to conservation programs for
producers.
The report language produced with the bill includes a provision
encouraging the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop crop insurance
endorsements for alternate wetting and drying, and furrow irrigation practices.
"USA Rice is sincerely grateful for the hard work and
tremendous efforts of Chairman Mike Conaway (R-TX), Ranking Member Collin
Peterson (D-MN), Rick Crawford (R-AR), Ralph Abraham (R-LA), Trent Kelly
(R-MS), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), and Mike Bost (R-IL), as well as all others who
helped secure provisions supporting the rice industry," said Joe Mencer,
Arkansas rice farmer and chairman of the USA Rice Farmers. "This is a great step forward in the
process to finalize a farm bill needed to provide long term certainty for rice
farmers."
Next week, the Senate will begin the process for consideration of
its version of the Farm Bill, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (S.
3042). It's reported that a Senate vote
could be held as early as next Thursday.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to express his desire to vote
on the bill prior to the July 4th recess.
Mencer said, "USA Rice looks forward to working with the
Senate on its version of the Farm Bill to produce legislation that works for
the U.S. rice industry."The current Farm Bill expires on September 30,
leaving three months for a new bill to be signed into law.
Botswana: Nhabe Has Potential to
Grow Hybrid Rice
By Esther Mmolai
Maun — Maun Administration Authority senior assistance council
secretary, Ms Mogomotsi Seemule says Nhabe region has the potential to be a
site for growing hybrid rice.When giving feedback following a recent
benchmarking trip to China, he said the hybrid rice project was once piloted in
the district and investigations had indicated that it did not fail, but
collapsed after being handed over to the community due to lack of commitment.
Some officials from North West District Council attended a
conference co-hosted by the Human Provincial People's Government and the
Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC).
The conference was held with the main purpose of strengthening
China-Africa economic and trade cooperation and the CPAFFC invited the Botswana
Association of Local Authorities.
BALA, therefore, extended the opportunity to its five members to
the occasion, of which North West District was included.
She said following the bench marking trip, there was hope the
council could re-group people and consider revitalising the project, which
seemed viable.
She observed that there was potential for a research centre
establishment on producing hybrid seeds in partnership with China, adding that
they could also investigate the potential linking relationship with existing
government seed research centre structures.
In addition, Ms Seemule said the region was at an advantage to
have Okavango Research Institute and believed the institute would be interested
to assist in conducting research.
She explained that the project was progressing well in China,
adding that the country had indicated its intention to produce more rice to
feed the whole world by 2050.
Currently, China is feeding half the world and the intention is
to feed 60 per cent of the world in 2030 through the increase of rice yields.
Furthermore, Ms Seemule reported that China had expressed
interest to partner with the district in trading of locally made products.
She said Ngamiland could take advantage to export its indigenous
products such as Tswii, dried fish, weaved baskets and other products to the
Chinese market.
If the partnership could see the green light, she said they
would need to empower the communities to form cooperatives while the council
establishes a central marketplace, which aimed to assist beneficiaries in
packaging and marketing the products.
"We have the potential to export our indigenous products to
the Chinese market through a partnership with the Changsha Agricultural
logistic centre.
We can also establish an internet page to sell our products
online," she added.
Ms Seemule said National Food Technology Research Centre had
also opened doors to assist in the training of beneficiaries so that they
produce quality products.
The centre has devoted its efforts to ensuring the availability
of safe, quality and nutritious food to Batswana through a number of activities
in the area of food quality, development and dissemination of food processing
technologies as well as food and nutrition programmes.

Clear dues by June 30 or face FIR, rice
millers told
Since
2011, millers owe Rs 238 crore to state govt
The mills owe over 95,000 metric tonnes of rice to the government and various agencies which procure paddy. File photo

Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 20
With rice millers owing Rs 238.27 crore to the
state government since 2011, the Food and Supplies Department plans to not only
bring the defaulters to book but also take action against its officials failing
to make the recoveries.
Setting a deadline of June 30 to clear all
dues, the government has decided to register FIRs against the rice millers who
have failed to mill the stock assigned to them and book or chargesheet the
officials for failing in their duty.
According to information, two FIRs have already
been registered against mill owners this season which began in October though
the exact default will be assessed after June 30 deadline given to the millers
for the paddy procured by the government or any of the state’s procurement
agencies if an extension is not given.
The mills owe over 95,000 metric tonnes of rice
to the government and various agencies which procure paddy during the
procurement season. The paddy is assigned to the rice millers on the list drawn
up by the committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner on the basis of their
milling capacity. They are given milling schedules from October through June
and the default is assessed on the basis of the stock that does not come back.
While one mill each defaulted in payment in
2011 and 2012 and 2013 and 2014 were the worst years as far as the recovery was
concerned. In 2013, rice millers of eight districts defaulted in nearly Rs 131
crore of which 16 mills were in Karnal.
In 2014, 10 mills defaulted in payment of Rs
37.48 crore of which six were from Karnal. In 2016, three millers were booked
for defaulting in payment of Rs 4.64 crore.
Sources in the department said that the mills,
which default in payment, intentionally hold their stocks and make money by
selling this in the open market.
“We are not going to treat default in payment
lightly. While two cases have been registered this season, we have also
registered 19 FIRs for defaults in previous years. For this season, we are not
even going to spare our own officials and FIRs will be registered against
millers and our district Food and Supply officers,” said Additional Chief
Secretary (Food and Supplies) Ram Niwas. http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/clear-dues-by-june-30-or-face-fir-rice-millers-told/608219.html

Allies line up to impose retaliatory trade
tariffs on US
Turkey and India become the latest Washington allies to impose
millions of dollars in levies on American goods.
21 Jun 2018
The US is the fifth-largest market for Turkish exports and trade
volume amounted to $20.6bn in 2017 [File: Reuters]
Turkey and India announced on Thursday
retaliatory tariffs worth hundreds of millions of dollars on goods imported
from the United States, joining the growing list of Washington allies that have
taken similar measures.
Ankara said it is imposing $266.5m
of levies on imports of US automobiles, coal and several food items, in
response to the "ill-advised" and
"unsupportable" additional steel tariffs enacted by Washington,
Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said.
The tariffs will also affect US
products such as walnuts, almonds, tobacco, unprocessed rice, whisky,
cosmetics, machinery equipment and petrochemical products.

"The total tariff burden today
being imposed by Turkey on the US is commensurate with the additional costs
Turkey faces due to the tariffs imposed on it by the US," Zeybekci said in
a statement.
"They are proportional,
measured and designed to protect Turkey's interests while encouraging
dialogue."
The US is the fifth-largest market
for Turkish exports and trade volume amounted to $20.6bn in 2017, official data
showed.
US President Donald Trump decided in March to impose import
duties of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminium, drawing criticism
from other countries for heightening the risk of a global trade war.
In New Delhi, officials also
announced on Thursday that India is imposing $240m worth of duties on
American food products. The tariffs are expected to take effect on August 4.
"The tariffs would affect
volumes of trade. The greater impact is in terms of the uncertainty created,
with exporters on both sides not sure what will be covered next and by how
much," New Delhi-based leading economist Jayati Ghosh told Al Jazeera.
"For global trade, the
consequences are serious: if this continues, we will increasingly see
unilateral protectionist moves," she added.
Risk of
contagion
India had, for months, threatened
to hit American goods and had filed a complaint before the World Trade
Organisation against the US for violations of global trade rules.
India’s commerce ministry named
some varieties of apples, almonds, chickpeas, lentils and walnuts that would
carry higher import taxes.
Ghosh said the world economy is in
for a really rough ride as the risk of contagion could hit capital flight and
exchange rate instability. Sharp selloffs could hit consumer and business
confidence, she said.
The consequences of the escalating
trade conflicts are already visible, according to some of the most powerful
central bank chiefs who had gathered in Portugal to discuss the state of the
global economy on Wednesday.
"What's happening is very
disturbing. Can anyone think of a country that's made itself wealthier or more
productive by building walls?" Philip Lowe, head of the Reserve Bank of
Australia, said at the meeting.
In recent weeks, Washington has
also imposed tariffs on close allies like Europe,
Canada and Mexico, as well as China.
'Unjustified
decision'
The European Union said retaliatory trade tariffs on
a list of US products will come into force on Friday.
The tariffs will initially target a
list of US goods worth $3.24bn, most of which will be hit with import duties of
25 percent.
They range from agricultural
products such as rice and orange juice to jeans, whiskey, motorbikes and
various steel products.
"We did not want to be in this
position. However, the unilateral and unjustified decision of the United States
to impose steel and aluminium tariffs on the EU means that we are left with no
other choice," EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said.
The commission formally adopted the
new tariffs, allowing them to come into effect on June 22.
Meanwhile, Canada responded by
imposing dollar-for-dollar tariffs on steel, aluminium and maple syrup.
Mexico also imposed tariffs on American
products ranging from steel to pork and bourbon. Mexico is the largest export
market for American pork producers.
China has also been affected by the trade
tariffs. Earlier this month, Washington imposed tariffs on tens of billions of
dollars of Chinese goods.
President Trump said he ordered
tariffs on $50bn in Chinese goods.
China hit back by raising import duties on
tens of billions of dollars of US goods including lobsters, soybeans, electric
cars and whiskey. Beijing said it was responding in "equal scale" to
Trump's tariff rise on Chinese goods.
Mihir Sharma, economist and author,
said that "the Trump administration's tariffs are a scatter-shot attempt
to restore the US economy to the 1970s".
"They may succeed in saving a
few thousand industrial jobs, but at an enormous cost to American
competitiveness and American consumers," said Sharma, the author of
"Restart: the last chance for the Indian economy".
"America's farmers, in
particular, will discover how it is global integration and trade that has
allowed most of them to stay in business."

Villanueva: Of rice, life
and an ailing society
20
hours ago
“RICE is life.”
Filipinos are known for their love of food, and meals are incomplete without rice. This just shows how important rice is in the lives of Filipinos.
Then President Aquino declared the 2013 as the National Year of Rice (NYR) aims for rice self-sufficiency by promoting the RICEponsibility of Filipinos for better health, reducing rice wastage, and valuing farmers’ hard work. As a result, the Philippines achieved the highest rice harvest that year, and according to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), the country achieved 97 percent rice self-sufficiency then.
At the start of 2018, news spread that the buffer stock of rice of the National Food Authority (NFA) is reaching its depletion. Warehouses of the NFA across the archipelago were reportedly already almost empty. This resulted to the shortage of the cheapest rice in the market. The remaining stocks were rationed. Consumers can only purchase a maximum of three kilos at a time.
Consumers are forced to buy the more expensive commercial rice, where the cheapest is sold at P40 per kilo, compared to price of NFA rice sold as low as P27 per kilo.
Considering that the family’s budget is essentially the same weekly, semi-monthly or monthly, with the more expensive goods, the family would feel poorer because their purchasing power is lesser. They would either lessen their consumption of rice or would spend less on other necessities.
Consequently, commercial rice became more expensive as a reaction to the decrease in the supply of rice in the market and the reduced competition from a cheaper type of rice. Note that the demand for rice did not change significantly from this price increase because rice is considered as a demand inelastic good (a good of which the consumption is not significantly affected by a price change).
Last February, NFA’s policy making council approved the importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice from Thailand for P24,000 per metric ton (or P24/kg), which was expected to arrive three months after.
The Philippines is rich with land resources used for agriculture, thus, still considered as an agricultural country (although a greater portion of the GDP is attributed to the output of services sector). A lingering question is that as an agricultural country, why is the Philippines considered as the second largest importer of rice worldwide?
Surprisingly, the Philippines has been importing rice for over a century already. Prof. Davidson (2016) of the National University of Singapore notes that at the latter part of the 1800s, the Philippines was already experiencing rice deficit, due to Spain’s trade constraints, loss of China as a trading partner to Siam, and effects of years of El Nino occurrences since 1870s.
While waiting for the imported stocks to arrive, NFA in its effort to beef up their stocks, chose to buy from domestic farmers at a price no higher than P17 per kilo. Another question in mind is, “If NFA can buy rice from Thailand for P24 per kilogram, why is it that NFA cannot buy rice from our farmers for no more than P17 per kilogram?”
Unfortunately, NFA cannot directly compete with private rice traders who can buy rice at a higher price. The budget of NFA just cannot match the farm gate prices offered by traders. Although President Duterte ordered the increase of the buying price by as much as P3 per kilo so that NFA can compete with the private traders, NEDA expressed their concern as this would lead to relatively huge inflation. I have no idea if this even push through.
Even if the government can match that of the traders, the reality is that farmers would still end up selling their produce to the traders whom they are deeply indebted to. The traders are the people that the farmers run to for their farm needs. They would borrow funds from the traders to buy seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and for other farm-related expenses and, of course, interest is charged.
Come harvest time, the traders collect from the farmers. The farmers are forced to sell their produce to the traders, who will deduct the farmers’ loan and give back the excess to the farmer, which they would make do until the next harvest season.
The poor farmers are left with no choice but to avail of these oppressive facilities even if government financial institutions like LandBank, cooperative and rural banks aim to assist them. Hazel Tanchuling of Rice Watch and Action Network in an interview in 2014 disclosed that about one percent of small farmers have access to these formal credit facilities, mainly due to their stringent documentary requirements.
PSA reported that prices of rice in April have risen by about 4.5% from January. The higher price of rice contributed to inflation bloating further. Aware of this pressing problem, President Duterte last April ordered private rice traders to help the government augment cheap rice supply in the market by selling rice by as low as P39 per kilogram.
Honestly, I don’t have any idea if there were traders who actually heeded the President’s call.
According to Celia Reyes, et. al. (2008) of CBMS Philippines, the impact of rising price of rice (and fuel) differs among various groups. Urban households are more affected by the price increases compared to those in the rural areas. The poorest households are the most vulnerable and the most adversely affected by increase in the price of rice. These households are coping by modifying their consumption patterns, increasing amount spent on food, and health or education would take the burden.
Sacrificing these two necessities would definitely have long-run effects on the households.
Rice is not just food; it is life. The problem on rice does not only denote the prospective nutrition and hunger problems that are experienced by Filipinos. It is a reflection of a deeper, systemic problem in our society nowadays.
Firstly, despite the natural resilience of Filipinos and the constant reminder of, “kapag maikli ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot.” I truly believe that this problem could have been avoided if the government officials were responsible enough to ensure food security in our country.
They had to wait until their warehouses are almost empty before they had to do something. This with the naiveté that all matters are in order. No shady deals and the like.
Secondly, our country is rich in natural and human resources. The Philippines is considered as an agricultural country yet we are the second largest importer of rice at present.
In the 1960s, our competency in rice production and research was recognized with the establishment of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). I believe we have a lot of potential in rice production. However, brain drain is happening. The best and the brightest scientists leave the country for greener pastures. If they were given enough incentive and competitive compensation, they would choose to stay and work towards sustainable rice self-sufficiency.
Thirdly, the poor farmers are left without support from the government, and are pushed to go to oppressive lenders. It is ironic that those who toil for our food are the ones experiencing hunger. Make agricultural credit accessible to those who need it the most.
I was able to prove in my master’s theses that agricultural credit has no impact on the agricultural output, where it should be one variable that could increase output exponentially. However, this support for the farmers has not been handled properly, e.g. Fertilizer Scam and Jocjoc Bolante, which until now the embezzlers have not yet been punished.
Support the farmers and this will ensure our self-sufficiency.
Finally, the impact of the rising price of rice may differ whether one is an urban or rural dweller, and the poorest households may be the most vulnerable, however, the fact is everyone is affected by this problem.
Due to these price increases, we are forced to forego of other important needs in order to suffice the need for food. Some may have foregone health when instead of buying medicines for a sick member of the household, rice was bought. Others have foregone education, children from the household dropped out of school because it was a choice of buying food or buying pencil or paper.
The long-run effects when these two are foregone are unimaginable. I am afraid that we will have a sick and illiterate society in the future if the government fails to install safety nets for this problem. It is about time for the people at the top of bureaucracy to focus on what is more important. Stop wasting government resources in addressing resultant problems. Drugs is a result of a more complex problem which is hunger, poverty. When the root of the problem is addressed, solutions to all other problems will follow.

Researchers Discover Genes That Make Plants Drought-Resistant

Titan supercomputer to compare the genomes of Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi (back row)
and Phalaenopsis equestris, or orchid (front row), as well as Ananas comosus,

Deptartment of Energy
Taking inspiration from desert
crops, researchers are one step closer to genetically enhancing crops to grow
in water-limited conditions.
Researchers from the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have identified a
common set of genes that drought-resistant plants all use to survive in
semi-arid conditions, paving the way for scientists to bioengineer drought-resistant
crops.
ORNL senior staff scientist
Xiaohan Yang, PhD, of the Biosciences Division, said that droughts are the
largest major cause of crop loss globally.
“The loss caused by drought is
much higher than the rest of the factors like disease or pests,” Yang said in
an interview with R&D Magazine. “In general, it
is the largest impact of environmental factors resulting in the loss of crops.”
Plants in deserts and other arid
climates keep their stomata or pores closed during the day to conserve water.
Then at night, they open the stomata to collect carbon dioxide in a form of
photosynthesis called crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).
Discovering the building blocks
of CAM photosynthesis will enable the researchers to bioengineer the metabolic
processes of water-heavy crops like rice, wheat, soybeans and poplar to
accelerate their adaption to environments with limited supplies of water.
The ORNL team sequenced the
genome of Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi, an emerging model for
CAM genomics research due to its relatively small genome and amenability to
genetic modification. The researchers then used ORNL’s Titan supercomputer to
investigate and compare the genomes of K. fedtschenkoi, Phalaenopsis
equestris(orchid) and Ananas comosus (pineapple).
The researchers were able to
identify 60 genes that exhibited convergent evolution in CAM species, including
convergent daytime and nighttime gene expression changes in 54 genes and
protein sequence convergence in six genes.
In particular, the team
discovered a variant of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which is the
enzyme responsible for the nighttime fixation of carbon dioxide into malic
acid. Malic acid is then converted back to carbon dioxide for photosynthesis
during the day.
Yang said they could introduce the
natural convergent changes in gene expression and protein sequences into plants
that rely on traditional photosynthesis. This would accelerate their evolution
to become more water-use efficient.
Crop production is the world's
largest consumer of freshwater. With the availability of clean water resources
shrinking due to urbanization, human population growth and changes in climate,
growing crops in less optimal environments is becoming increasingly important.
According to ORNL research, rice and wheat are globally the biggest drivers of
water scarcity among food commodities. Droughts also account for two-thirds of
corn loss per year.
Engineering CAM photosynthesis
into food and energy crops could—along with reducing the reliance on water—also
boost the crops’ resiliency when the water is slightly saline or higher
temperatures.
Yang said the researchers now
plan to continue their research, which is the culmination of seven years of
work.
“Now we are working on the next step, a deeper understanding of
the gene functions and then how to use the genes for genetic improvements,” he
said.
Mushrooms and rice could play a
role in zero-carbon buildings
Cameron
Jewell | 21 June 2018
It’s
been a strong week for alternative materials here at The
Fifth Estate. First there was the story that adding carrots to concrete could make it stronger and
greener. Then there was the company making building panels out of hemp, with the promise to soon
be 3D-printing hemp houses.
Now
researchers, including some from RMIT and UNSW, have developed a low-energy,
zero-carbon, fire-resistant building material from mushrooms and rice that
could replace fossil-fuel-derived products and also tackle problem waste
streams.
Fungal
brick prototypes made from rice hulls and glass fines waste.
The Trametes
versicolor fungus can be bound with agricultural and
industrial wastes to form lightweight bricks. In research published in Fire
and Materials, scientists used the fungus to bind rice hulls
and glass fines (a problem waste stream), and baked the material to
create lightweight, strong and fire-resistant bricks for use in non-weathering,
non-structural and semi-structural construction applications.
The
“mycelium composite” product proved a safer and “very economical” alternative
to highly flammable petroleum and natural gas-derived synthetic polymers and
unprotected engineered woods used in insulation, furniture and panelling, the
researchers said.
Some of
the composites tested were up to 31 times cheaper than extruded polystyrene and
particleboard.
Regarding
fire safety, the mushroom bricks had much lower average and peak heat release
rates and longer time to flash-over. They also released significantly less
smoke and CO2, though carbon monoxide levels fluctuated.
“Their
widespread use in civil construction would enable better fire safety in
buildings,” the researchers concluded.
Rice
hulls, glass fines and the mixture of rice, glass and fungus, before baking
Thy also
said their product was less appealing to termites.
On the
sustainability side, as well as involving low amounts of energy to produce and
having the potential to replace fossil-fuel-derived building products, the
bricks also provide a home for two problem waste streams.
About
167 million tonnes of rice hulls are produced a year globally, considered a
low-grade agricultural byproduct that is largely discarded as waste. Glass
fines also account for 20-29 per cent of Australia’s 600,000 tonne a year glass
waste. The bricks could prove an economical way to lock up these waste streams.
Botswana: Nhabe Has Potential to
Grow Hybrid Rice
By Esther Mmolai
Maun — Maun Administration Authority senior assistance council
secretary, Ms Mogomotsi Seemule says Nhabe region has the potential to be a
site for growing hybrid rice.When giving feedback following a recent benchmarking
trip to China, he said the hybrid rice project was once piloted in the district
and investigations had indicated that it did not fail, but collapsed after
being handed over to the community due to lack of commitment.
Some officials from North West District Council attended a
conference co-hosted by the Human Provincial People's Government and the
Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC).
The conference was held with the main purpose of strengthening
China-Africa economic and trade cooperation and the CPAFFC invited the Botswana
Association of Local Authorities.
BALA, therefore, extended the opportunity to its five members to
the occasion, of which North West District was included.
She said following the bench marking trip, there was hope the
council could re-group people and consider revitalising the project, which
seemed viable.
She observed that there was potential for a research centre
establishment on producing hybrid seeds in partnership with China, adding that
they could also investigate the potential linking relationship with existing
government seed research centre structures.
In addition, Ms Seemule said the region was at an advantage to
have Okavango Research Institute and believed the institute would be interested
to assist in conducting research.
She explained that the project was progressing well in China,
adding that the country had indicated its intention to produce more rice to
feed the whole world by 2050.
Currently, China is feeding half the world and the intention is
to feed 60 per cent of the world in 2030 through the increase of rice yields.
Furthermore, Ms Seemule reported that China had expressed
interest to partner with the district in trading of locally made products.
She said Ngamiland could take advantage to export its indigenous
products such as Tswii, dried fish, weaved baskets and other products to the
Chinese market.
If the partnership could see the green light, she said they
would need to empower the communities to form cooperatives while the council
establishes a central marketplace, which aimed to assist beneficiaries in
packaging and marketing the products.
"We have the potential to export our indigenous products to
the Chinese market through a partnership with the Changsha Agricultural
logistic centre.
We can also establish an internet page to sell our products
online," she added.
Ms Seemule said National Food Technology Research Centre had
also opened doors to assist in the training of beneficiaries so that they
produce quality products.
The centre has devoted its efforts to ensuring the availability
of safe, quality and nutritious food to Batswana through a number of activities
in the area of food quality, development and dissemination of food processing
technologies as well as food and nutrition programmes.

Price of rice seen to drop with arrival of NFA rice
By Rosalie O. Abatayo and Futch Anthony InsoJune 22,2018
Workers unload sacks of imported rice from Vietnam to the
warehouse of the National Food Authority (NFA) . CDN PHOTO/JUNJIE MENDOZA
THE public may soon see a lowering of prices for commercial rice
as the unloading of the first shipment of rice imported by the National Food
Authority (NFA) from Vietnam has started.
Olma Marie Bayno, Information Officer of NFA-7, said the cargo
agent of the supplier committed to work on the unloading operations 24 hours a
day.
“[With the availability of NFA rice in the market soon,] we can
really expect the price of commercial rice to lower. However, we cannot say
that the drop of the prices will be that much,” Bayno said in a phone interview
with Cebu Daily News.
If the weather permits, Bayno said the unloading will only take
seven days instead of 15.
As of 5 p.m. on Friday, 8,500 bags were already unloaded and
moved to the NFA warehouse.
Bayno said they are waiting for all the 200,000 bags of rice to
be unloaded so that they can allocate how many bags would be for retailing.
“We need everything to be fully accounted first. That is why we
need to wait until everything is unloaded,” said Bayno.
The second vessel containing 7,000 metric tons or 140,000 bags
of imported rice which arrived in Cebu on Thursday dawn is still in waters off
Kawit Island as of press time.
Bayno said the cargo agent of the vessel is still securing the
necessary discharge permits from the Bureau of Customs.
Bayno said the docking of the vessel might also be delayed
because of the lack of berthing space at the port, thus it is possible that it
might have to wait until the first cargo ship finishes unloading the NFA rice.
Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture in Central Visayas
(DA-7) assured that the income of local farmers will not be impaired.
“Supply of NFA rice only serves as buffer stocks, especially
during lean months, when we couldn’t expect any harvest of rice from our local
farmers,” DA-7 information officer Cheryl dela Victoria said.
Dela Victoria also said that NFA plans to increase the buying
price of rice from local farmers, in order to increase their income.
“As of the moment, NFA has set the buying price of rice at P17
per kilo,” she added.
She clarified that Central Visayas is not a rice yielding
region, and only contributes 21 percent of the country’s production of rice.
“We are also continuing our “Bigasan ng Masa” program, wherein
DA-7 imports rice from Bohol to sell it to consumers at very low price,” she
said,
During this activity, special premium rice is sold at only P48
per kilo, P44 per kilo for well-milled rice, P38 per kilo for under-milled
rice, P40 per kilo for brown rice and P70 per kilo for Black or pigmented rice.

The long term
solution to rice problem
By
June 23, 2018
ONE VOICE
DUMAGUETE CITY – YEARS AGO, VIETNAMESE AND THAI scientists
flocked to the IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) in Los Baños,
Laguna to study rice varieties and their proper plantation and harvest.
Today, the Philippines- a so-called agricultural country – is
one of the world’s biggest importer of rice for the 106 million Filipinos. Why,
indeed?
The irony is not lost that today- the Philippines import most of
our rice, precisely, from Vietnam and Thailand themselves.
We teach them how to plant rice so we can buy from them.
Are we just good in academics (IRRI) but bad in implementation-
with everyone trying to do corrupt and inefficient ways of planting rice and
placing it on the table of Juan de la Cruz?
Are we serious in -at least – making the country self-sufficient
in rice and not necessarily dream of being exporters like those two other ASEAN
countries?
Or are we self-flagellating ourselves with failure to produce
sound, affordable rice so that in the face of such failure- set up the
importation mechanism which reeks with the opportunities for graft through
favoring and licensing of “friendly” rice importers?
Scarcity also affords avenues for smuggling -what with the
porous beach network of 7,000 islands where vessels can just drop anchor with
tax free rice from abroad?
In the face of all these- there is the NFA (National Food
Authority) tasked to stabilize the supply and price of rice saddled with P
172-Billion in liabilities (mostly subsidies) -and rice supply at times neither
stable or price -efficient, anyhow.
What are some long-term solutions to the festering problem?
We need to increase our irrigation facilities- gifted as the
country is with massive falls, rivers, and streams. The reason Bohol is proudly
called a “net exporter” of rice while the country is a net importer of rice is
partly explained by the presence of massive irrigation systems-many of them
during the regime of the late governor and congressman Rico Aumentado.
Then, there is the lack of post-harvest facilities that bedevil
the poor farmers. Everyone and his uncle know that 17% of the value of rice is
lost in this part of the production cycle. Palay is not milled immediately and
there are not enough bodegas to house the palay and the grain.
We have no need for a rocket scientist to tell as to where
Government should place its massive resources into instead of still practicing
the discredited method of subsidies to “protect the people” from high prices of
rice.
The Ramos government erased the subsidies of oil by simply
deregulating the oil industry, The GMA Regime resisted the same discredited
method by erasing any remnant of subsidy for electricity.
Alex Magno rightly argues that had those two governments not
insisted on this rock-jawed economic policies- the government would have been
perpetually saddled by enormous debt due to subsidies. That would have been a
black mark for good fiscal management and delayed the recognition for upgraded
credit and investment rating by powerful rating bodies of the nation.
That same policy should be the direction of the Duterte regime
to cover the issue of rice.
There are other issues. This week 11 men of the Land
Transportation Office based in Nueva Ecija were sacked on orders of the
president. They were accused of exacting a “tong” of P1,000 per truck passing
through the province carrying rice.
With 100 trucks passing through per day, the crooks net P100,000
a day or P3-M per month. Where do you think the victimized rice traders pass
this extra cost of business- but to the consumer eventually? How many such
“tong” rackets are continuing to plague the industry elsewhere in the
archipelago?
Also, there is an enormous layer of middlemen before the product
reaches the sari-sari store, groceries or the wet markets. From the farm -the
product passes through the distributor, the wholesaler, the retailer before the
consumer outlet. How much percentage points have the rice price risen going
through this layering of middlemen?
Right now, the averaging buying price of palay is P17 by NFA and
P22 by commercial traders. Where do you think would the farmers sell their
produce?
There is also the issue of financing. Banks have been mandated
to lend 25% of their total loans to agriculture yet they would rather pay
billions in penalties rather than comply. Besides, most banks do not accept
agricultural land as collateral- so where does that leave the farmers?
Yet – providing irrigation, post-harvest facilities,
farm-to-market roads, warehouses, bagsakan— markets- from- the field –
facilities should be the lookout of government and given priority. Why?
Because 106 million Filipinos eat rice as our staple food two or
three times a day, it is more crucial than oil and electricity.
In all of these, the Department of Agriculture should provide
the “comprehensive” roadmap to ensure we find the right solution to this rice
imbroglio.
If local rice supply is still insufficient to feed the 106
million Filipinos, the government should allow free rein of entry of imported
rice with uniform tariff instead of turning on and off the faucets for the
supply which can lead to many temptations and aberrations.
The entry of the imported rice, however, must be such that it is
not timed during the harvest season of the locally-produced varieties.
It does not take one to be a trained agriculturist or a sharp
economist to identify these are the solutions to this bothersome problem.
In all likelihood, the rice success stories in Thailand and
Vietnam probably took all or part of this route.
Why all these years the Philippine Government has not seriously
adopted them can only be explained by the fact that under the existing system-
pockets of corrupt opportunities abound for most dirty-minded people in and out
of government.
It’s about time, draconian measures be taken by the government
and let everyone concerned in the Rice Industry bite the bullet. It’s been a
long time coming.
Let’s stop this confusion and reward the crooks by our failure
to institute the reforms needed here.

Researchers
Discover Genes That Make Plants Drought-Resistant
Thu, 06/21/2018 -
3:37pm
The team used ORNL's Titan supercomputer to
compare the genomes of Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi (back row) and Phalaenopsis
equestris, or orchid (front row), as well as Ananas comosus, or pineapple.

Taking inspiration from desert crops,
researchers are one step closer to genetically enhancing crops to grow in
water-limited conditions.
Researchers from the U.S. Department
of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have identified a common set
of genes that drought-resistant plants all use to survive in semi-arid
conditions, paving the way for scientists to bioengineer drought-resistant
crops.
ORNL senior staff scientist Xiaohan
Yang, PhD, of the Biosciences Division, said that droughts are the largest major
cause of crop loss globally.
“The loss caused by drought is much
higher than the rest of the factors like disease or pests,” Yang said in an
interview with R&D Magazine. “In general, it is
the largest impact of environmental factors resulting in the loss of crops.”
Plants in deserts and other arid
climates keep their stomata or pores closed during the day to conserve water.
Then at night, they open the stomata to collect carbon dioxide in a form of
photosynthesis called crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).
Discovering the building blocks of
CAM photosynthesis will enable the researchers to bioengineer the metabolic
processes of water-heavy crops like rice, wheat, soybeans and poplar to
accelerate their adaption to environments with limited supplies of water.
The ORNL team sequenced the genome
of Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi, an emerging model for CAM genomics research due
to its relatively small genome and amenability to genetic modification. The
researchers then used ORNL’s Titan supercomputer to investigate and compare the
genomes of K. fedtschenkoi, Phalaenopsis equestris(orchid)
and Ananas comosus (pineapple).
The researchers were able to identify
60 genes that exhibited convergent evolution in CAM species, including
convergent daytime and nighttime gene expression changes in 54 genes and
protein sequence convergence in six genes.
In particular, the team discovered a
variant of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which is the enzyme
responsible for the nighttime fixation of carbon dioxide into malic acid. Malic
acid is then converted back to carbon dioxide for photosynthesis during the
day.
Yang said they could introduce the
natural convergent changes in gene expression and protein sequences into plants
that rely on traditional photosynthesis. This would accelerate their evolution
to become more water-use efficient.
Crop production is the world's
largest consumer of freshwater. With the availability of clean water resources
shrinking due to urbanization, human population growth and changes in climate,
growing crops in less optimal environments is becoming increasingly important.
According to ORNL research, rice and wheat are globally the biggest drivers of
water scarcity among food commodities. Droughts also account for two-thirds of
corn loss per year.
Engineering CAM photosynthesis into
food and energy crops could—along with reducing the reliance on water—also
boost the crops’ resiliency when the water is slightly saline or higher
temperatures.
Yang said the researchers now plan to
continue their research, which is the culmination of seven years of work.
“Now
we are working on the next step, a deeper understanding of the gene functions
and then how to use the genes for genetic improvements,” he said.
