The
prices of rice went up in the city’s wholesale markets following the
announcement of budget for the financial year of 2018-19 as the government
reinstated 28 per cent import duty on the staple in the budget.
Following the announcement of the budget on June 7, importers and millers
increased the wholesale prices of rice by Tk 1-2 a kilogram and the
wholesale price increase started affecting the retail markets in the city,
traders said.
‘Rice importers and mill owners have already raised the wholesale prices of all
varieties of rice by Tk 1-2 a kg and they also squeezed the supply of the
staple as the government imposed import duty on the item,’ Syed Monirul Islam,
proprietor of Barishal Rice Agency at Mohammadpur Krishi Bazar, told New Age on
Monday.
He said the importers increased the prices of rice, which were imported under
duty facility before the announcement of the budget, in the name of import duty
re-imposition.
Monirul said that the wholesale prices of rice increased before Eid-ul-Fitr,
one of the biggest religious festivals of the Muslims, which was celebrated in
the country on Saturday, and the price hike started affecting the retail
markets in the city.
Last year, the government reduced the import duty on rice to 2 per cent from 28
per cent to meet the shortfall of the crops as flash floods damaged production
of boro rice in the haor areas.
Considering the bumper rice production this year, finance minister AMA Muhith
on June 7 reimposed 25 per cent customs duty and 3 per cent regulatory duty on
rice import to protect the interest of the local farmers.
Following the re-imposition of duty, the prices of both the imported and
locally produced rice went up in the wholesale market and in some cases retail
prices also increased.
‘The government has imposed import duty aiming to increase the prices of rice
and the decision has already started increasing the prices of all varieties of
rice in the market,’ KM Layek Ali, general secretary of the Bangladesh Auto
Major and Husking Mill Owners Association, said.
He said that following the imposition of duty on rice import, the prices of
paddy started increasing in the market.
It is obvious that the prices of rice would increase as the prices of paddy
increased by Tk 70 a mound (40 kg) in last one week, Layek Ali said.
According to Layek Ali, the wholesale prices of coarse, medium and fine
varieties of rice increased by Tk 50-125 a bag (50 kg) in last one week.
A kilogram of coarse variety of rice was selling at Tk 42-45 a kg on
Monday. The fine variety of Najirshail rice was retailing at Tk 65-70 a kg
and its standard variety at Tk 60-64 a kg in the city markets.
BR-28 rice was retailing at Tk 50-52 a kg, while Miniket rice was selling
at Tk 62-68 a kg. The coarse variety of Miniket rice was retailing at
Tk 56-60 a kg.

Reeling under rabi
blow, paddy ryots shying away from kharif
KAKINADA, JUNE 19, 2018 00:47 IST
Bleak
scenario: Left penniless and banks reluctant to issue crop loans, farmers are
not in a position to raise crop .
They
suffered losses due to rain damage, ‘irregularities in procurement’
The absence of the minimum support price (MSP) for paddy during
the last rabi season had its cascading effect on the transplantations during
the current kharif season in the rice-rich East Godavari and West Godavari
districts. Most of the farmers are looking for finances to meet the input
costs, as it proved to be difficult for them to meet both the ends from the
meagre sums they earned by selling their produce in the last crop season. As a
result, paddy transplantation is moving at a snail’s pace in both the
districts.
Paddy had been transplanted in about four lakh acres each in the
East and West Godavari districts and the yield had been about 12.5 lakh metric
tonnes and 12 lakh metric tonnes, respectively. The State government fixed the
MSP at ₹1,192.5 for a 75kg bag of A-grade variety and ₹1,162.5 for the ‘Common’
variety, besides setting up paddy procurement centres to ensure that the prices
were honoured.
“The untimely rain at the fag end of the rabi season had spoiled
the paddy market. Branding the grain as ‘discoloured’ and less or more moist,
millers and traders ruled the roost, whereas the officials remained mute
spectators,” says M. Rajasekhar, secretary of the A.P. Koulu Rythula Sangham’s
East Godavari district unit. “Till last year, paddy procurement centres used to
remit the amounts against purchase of the grain directly into the bank accounts
of farmers. Absence of the practice has paved the way for irregularities,
including custom milling of paddy from neighbouring districts and States,” he
alleges.
‘Official-miller nexus’
The same is the situation in West Godavari district, where the
official statistics indicate procurement of nine lakh metric tonnes of paddy
through procurement centres. “A thorough inquiry has to be ordered into the
reported irregularities in paddy procurement. The nexus between paddy
procurement centres and rice millers has resulted in a price drop. When it
comes to farmers, lowering of prices has been forced by citing either abnormal
moisture levels or colour of the grain,” points out K. Srinivas, secretary of
the A.P. Pradesh Rythu Sangham’s West Godavari district unit.
“Even as the water release into the irrigation canals has been
scheduled for June 1, it has taken about 10 days for the water to reach the
tail-end areas. In the absence of cash in hand and reluctance of banks to
release crop loans, small and marginal farmers are not in a position to go for
paddy transplantation,” says K. Trinadha Reddy, YSRCP farmers’ leader.

Nigeria to shut down border with
neighboring country to curb rice smuggling
June 19, 2018

Trailer loads
of smuggled rice seized by Nigerian customs along Lagos-Badagry Expressway
recently
By Nita Karume :
The Federal Government of Nigeria has said that it will shut
down its border with a neighboring country on account of rice smuggling. Audu
Ogbeh, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, said as much earlier
on this week while speaking at a Guardians of the Nation International
(GOTNI)-sponsored forum.
Mr Ogbeh, however, failed to mention the particular country and
border. He further endorsed this move necessary in order to encourage local
production and sustain the economy of the country. Among the countries Nigeria
shares borders with are Niger, Chad, Benin and Cameroon.
The minister went on to explain the unprecedented risks that
come with the consumption of said rice. According to him, rice planted in
certain parts of the land could lead to poisoning of the same. Furthermore,
some of the countries around the Delta there have been reports of arsenic found
in the rice. This is in instances where rice is planted in the same place for
six years consecutively.
Mr. Ogbeh also said that the Federal Government had in two years
managed to reduce rice importation by 95%. This is while the number of rice
farmers increased from five to 30m.
In 2014, the smuggling had taken a turn for the worst with rice
traders and importers attributing the same of the tariff increase on imported
rice by the Federal Government. As a result, some marketers in Lagos as well as
the dealers resulted to smuggling of the product. Unfortunately, the high
tariff placed on rice at the Nigerian port to discourage smuggling of the
product has not been effective.
The President of Rice Millers and Importers Association noted
that smuggling, while destroying the Nigerian economy, is boosting the economy
of other developing countries. He is of the opinion that increased tariff will
help increase patronage for locally produced rice in Nigeria.

The world is expected to suffer a
major rice shortage after global production was hit by extreme weather
patterns - potentially fuelling an international price crisis.
Hot weather and droughts brought
on by the El Nino system continue to affect production in India, Pakistan,
Thailand and Vietnam, where 60% of the world’s rice is grown.
Grain stocks in those countries
are forecast to plummet to 19 million tons by the end of the year, down from a
peak of 43 million tons in 2013.

Dr Samarendu Mohanty from the International Rice Research

tight, and this will inevitably cause a spiral in demand.
“The extent of this crisis all
depends on what happens during the upcoming monsoon season. If it goes badly in
India and Indonesia and the crops don’t get the rain, there could be real
trouble ahead.”
The monsoon season in India lasts
from July to September and supplies up to four-fifths of the country’s annual
rain.

He continued: “At the moment it
looks like the situation won’t be as serious as in 2008 but the countries
affected must act more rationally this time rather than panicking, and they
must learn from the mistakes of the past.”
El Nino is a major fluctuation in
the Earth's climate system and see changes in the sea-surface temperature of
the tropical Pacific Ocean every few years.
During the 2008 crisis in Asia,
lower rice output caused by El Nino prompted India to impose a blanket ban on
exports and prices hit a record $1,000 per ton worldwide.
The benchmark price for a ton of
rice last month was $389.50, the strongest since July last year, and rates
continue to increase.

Meanwhile, 593,000 acres of paddy
fields have been destroyed by recent drought and salination in Vietnam’s Mekong

The situation has not been helped
by the one million wells built in the country since the 1960s, which have
worsened the saline problem and contaminated the Vietnamese product.
The Phillippines is weighing up
whether to import an extra 500,000 tons of rice this year in an effort to boost
state reserve stocks in case of a future crisis.

Millers worry mounts as

Slow
evacuation of custom milled rice from the mills in Rayagada district has

RAYAGADA: Slow evacuation of custom milled rice from the mills in
Rayagada district has hampered the delivery process posing problems for the
millers.Nearly 2.7 lakh quintals of milled rice is now stocked at Odisha State
Warehousing Corporation godown in Rayagada town. Of this, 70,000 lakh quintals
wait to be lifted by the Gajapati district as per the direction of Civil
Supplies Minister Surya Narayan Patra.
The Minister, during his visit in March, had directed the
evacuation of rice to Gajapati district and accordingly, an official
instruction was issued by the department concerned. But, delay in
implementation of the order has left the millers of Rayagada at their wit’s
end.
With August 31 deadline set up by Odisha State Civil Supplies
Corporation Ltd for delivery of custom milled rice (CMR) for Kharif Marketing
Season (KMS) 2017-18 and with the date barely a month-and-a-half away, the
millers are worried that if the rice is not lifted, the quality would
deteriorate leading to losses.
During this KMS, the district has procured more paddy than the
requirement under PDS and other schemes. To streamline timely realisation of
custom milled rice from millers, the Government has been making plans from time
to time. As per such a plan, 70,000 quintals of CMR is to be moved from
Rayagada to Gajapati district to facilitate receipt of CMR within the deadline.
But, things have failed to fall in place for the millers who fear that with the
onset of monsoon, the rice in the godowns is likely to deteriorate and lead to
reduction in purchase cost.
Meanwhile, Civil Supplies Officer Purosottam Lenka said lifting
for Gajapati district started recently and all efforts are being made for
timely realisation of CMR as per Government schedule.

import duty on $34 billion worth of high tech imports from China. China
immediately responded by announcing a similar duty hike on $34 billion worth
of U.S. imports, including U.S. rice. Both countries' actions are
effective July 6, 2018. The 25 percent duty on U.S. rice imports is
consistent with China's approach to retaliate against a wide variety of
agriculture imports including soybeans, corn, wheat, cotton, beef,
cranberries, orange juice, tobacco, and whiskies. |

SCIENTISTS CALL NECESSARY DIABETIKAM AND HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE PRODUCT
Jan Hartman | June 17, 2018 | Health | No Comments
Scientists from the canadian University of Guelph have
conducted a study and found which foods can improve the endocrine and
cardiovascular systems of the body.
They claim that the dishes of green and red lentils
are extremely beneficial to people suffering from diabetes or hypertension.
As noted, the researchers conducted a study involving
24 adults.
They were offered two ways of eating is to eat just
rice and potatoes, and their mixtures in the ratio of 1:1 with green and red
lentils.
The participants of the experiment measured the levels
of blood sugar and pressure within two hours before meals and after. The
results showed that the use of rice and lentils sugar level in the blood was
20% lower in comparison with indicators when used only rice.
In the case of potatoes, this difference was 35%.
In addition, after eating dishes with lentils and
decreased the level of cholesterol in the blood, were observed normalization of
pressure.
Scientists have noted that this result is due to the
high content in lentils valuable vitamins and minerals, informs Health.

President Mamnoon arrives in
Dushanbe
DUSHANBE: President Mamnoon
Hussain is visiting Tajikistan to participate in an international conference on
the International Decade for Action “Water for Sustainable Development” 2018-28
being held in Tajik capital on June 20 and 21.
The conference being
hosted by Tajikistan in cooperation with the United Nations Department of
Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and other partners, will focus on
sustainable development and integrated management of water resources for the
achievement of social, economic and environmental objectives; implementation
and promotion of related programmes and projects; and the furtherance of
cooperation and partnerships at all levels in order to help achieve
internationally agreed water-related goals and targets, including those
contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
It will also highlight the
importance of promoting the efficiency of water usage at all levels, taking
into account the water, food, energy, environment nexus, including the
implementation of national development programmes.
Besides attending the
conference the President during his four-day official visit to Tajikistan will
also hold bilateral talks with Tajik leadership to further strengthen
Pakistan’s relations with this brotherly Central Asian state in diverse areas.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to
Tajikistan Tariq Iqbal Soomro told APP that President Mamnoon Hussain and
President Emomali Rahmon during their talks will discuss the whole range of
bilateral ties to further strengthen and diversify these relations in different
fields for mutual benefit.
He said as the current volume
of annual bilateral trade between the two countries stood at around US $ 42
million (FY 2016-17) and did not commensurate with the strong political ties,
the two leaders will discuss ways and means to boost bilateral trade level upto
US $ 500. President Mamnoon Hussain during his first visit to Tajikistan will
also meet the prime minister of Tajikistan as well as the Speaker of Lower
House of Tajik parliament.
Pakistan’s major exports to
Tajikistan were sugar, dairy products, fruit, vegetables, rice, textile products,
and minerals, whereas Pakistan imported cotton fiber, fruit, vegetables and
unprocessed hides.
Ambassador Tariq Iqbal hoped
that the visit of President Mamnoon Hussain, on the invitation of Tajik
President, will further strengthen the already existing close and friendly
relations between the two brotherly nations.
To a question, he said, the
water conference was first of the series that Tajikistan planned to hold on a
bi-annual basis to facilitate implementation of the New Decade for Water for
Sustainable Development.
The ambassador said that the
official visit of President Mamnoon Hussain to Tajikistan as well as recent
visits of Pakistani prime minister were reflective of the country''s vision to
strengthen relations with neighbouring and regional countries and further
regional connectivity.

Bright prospect predicted for agricultural products’ export

NDO/VNA – Good prospect is forecast in the export of several
agricultural products, including rice, in the rest of the year as demand in
importing markets has shown optimistic signs, according to the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). |
|
The ministry predicted that domestic rice prices will continue
to stay high until the end of June 2018, buoyed by hope for resuming exports
to the Philippines. According to a report by the General Department of Vietnam
Customs, in the first five months of 2018, rice shipments overseas rose 25.7%
in volume and 42.6% in value, with prices picking up 13.4% over the same
period last year. Statistics showed that 452,000 tonnes of rice were shipped
abroad in May for US$347 million, pushing the five-month rice export volume
to 2.66 million tonnes with value of US$1.45 billion. China was still the
biggest market of Vietnamese rice. Vietnamese rice quality has gradually approached international
standards, prompted by the shift in world demand for rice of higher quality.
According to the MARD, importing countries now prioritise the import of
fragrant and Japonica rice varieties. Currently, African countries are also
increasing rice imports, creating opportunities for Vietnamese firms in the
markets. Meanwhile, exports of aquatic products in May fetched US$700
million, raising total value in the first five months of 2018 to US$3.1
billion, up 11% over the same period last year. Particularly, export volume of tra fish in May was estimated
at 104,000 tonnes, a year on year rise of 11.6%, marking a record growth rate
in many years. The US, Japan, China and the Republic of Korea were the top
markets of Vietnamese aquatic products, which consumed over 50% of total
exported volume. High growth was seen in many markets, including the
Netherlands (60%), China (27%), the UK (27%), Germany (26%), and the Republic
of Korea (21%). At the same time, chicken meat is also among products with
high hope for growth in latter half of the year. Since the beginning of 2018,
export volume of the product expanded three times compared to that in 2017. |

Eating Too Much Rice And Pasta Likely to Cause Early Menopause
By
-
June 17, 2018
·
·
As per a new study in London, the excessive use of refined
carbohydrates—especially white pasta and rice, may lead to
an earlier menopause by a year and a half
earlier.
The findings were published in the Journal of Epidemiology and
Community Health, according to which high intake of healthy foods
like oily fish, green beans, fresh legumes and peas are the commodities
associated with a later onset of menopause.
The study lead author—Yashvee Dunneram—a
postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leeds—Britain said that there are
several factors that are taken into consideration for developing the
relationship between age and the start of menopause, including the generic
factors or behavioural and environmental exposure. However, a limited study has
been done that looks at the impact of diet on menopause.

to Open Exclusive Coffee Shops in Pakistan
The study used the data gathered from
fourteen thousand one hundred and fifty women, residing in Britain. They were
asked to fill a detailed diet questionnaire along with an initial survey which
was done to collect information on the reproductive health and history.
Later after four years when a follow-up
survey and questionnaire was done, the researchers were able to analyse the
diets of the women who have experienced the onset of natural menopause in the
interim. The average age of the women of Britain for menopause is 51 years.
More than nine hundred women were found
to have experienced the natural start of their menopause at the time of the
follow up survey, their ages ranging in between 40 and 65, which means that
they must have menstruated for at least twelve months consecutively and
menopause had not been brought on by factors like surgery, or cancer or
pharmaceutical treatments.
Their diet analysis revealed high intake
of oily fish which are liked to a delayed start of menopause by almost three
years. A diet full of refined pasta and rice displayed that menopause was more
probably to occur one-and-a-half years before than the average age.
As per the BBC reports the new study is
observational and cannot prove any factor, the researchers, however, have some
possible explanations behind their findings.
For example, legumes contain antioxidants
which could preserve menstruation for a longer span of time. Similarly, omega-3
fatty acids which are found in the oily fish also leads to stimulating the capacity
of antioxidants in the body.
As per the report, the increased use of
refined carbs could also raise the risk of insulin resistance, which could
hinder with the sex hormone activity and increase the oestrogen levels which
might lead to an increase in the number of menstrual cycles causing the supply

Gene banks to
ensure supply, survival of Cordillera's heirloom rice

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — Seeds of the highland region's famed
centuries-old heirloom rice are being kept in storage to ensure that they will
not be wiped out.
Through the Heirloom Rice Project, a collaboration among the
Department of Agriculture, International Rice Research Institute and Philippine
Rice Research Institute, the seeds will be stored in a black box to keep them
safe for between 25 to 40 years.
Currently, 69 heirloom rice landraces — particular strains that have evolved
and have been cultivated over time — from Benguet, Ifugao, Mountain Province
and Kalinga are kept in separate genebanks maintained by IRRI and PhilRice.
An additional 126 inherited races will be included this year
from the project's expansion barangays, bringing the number of samples to 195.
PhilRice said the threat of losing these valuable materials such
as the heirloom rice makes conservation efforts increasingly more urgent and
important.
The project also discovered through community consultations that
some landraces that are no longer being planted while others are on the verge
of extinction.
"The rice we ate, which was planted by our forefathers, are
long gone and have been replaced," Rosa Dungawan, 73, said. She said she
regrets that even though she had the opportunity to taste the heirloom rice,
her grandchildren did not.
Agriculturist May Ann Tuba-ang said that in case of unforeseen
events that endanger the current landraces, the community can retrieve the
seeds from IRRI and PhilRice for reproduction.
Aside from the conservation of heirloom rice, the project also
aims to preserve the rice through increased production to encourage farmers to
continue producing the rice passed down by their ancestors.

Popular rice variety gets extra gene power to
fight bacterial attacks
Pyramiding of multiple
BB-resistant genes into rice varieties.

Rice is considered essential for millions of Asians because of
the immense influence on their culture, diets and economic condition and is the
most important and dominant staple food crop in Asia. Approximately 92% of
rice is grown and consumed in Asia, which encompasses 55% of the world
population.
Now, scientists at the Hyderabad-based Indian Institute of Rice Research have
developed a new variety of the popular Improved Samba Mahsuri (ISM) rice that
can resist bacterial blight (BB) disease. BB caused by Xanthomonas oryzae
PV. oryzae (Xoo) remains a primary production constraint in rice in India and
in most of the east and southeast Asian countries.
This disease primarily occurs in epidemic proportions in monsoon
(wet) season, particularly in irrigated and rain-fed lowland ecosystems. The
disease affects rice crop, is caused by bacteria, Xanthomonas oryzae, and
drastically reduces rice productivity.
Dr Gouri Sankar Laha, co-author of the study said, “Till now
about 41 resistant genes have been identified from diverse sources. These genes
differ from each other in their mode of action. While some are broad spectrum,
others are narrow in their resistance spectrum.”
Using Marker-assisted Backcross Breeding or MABB technique,
scientists succeeded in gene insertion in genetically modified crops
efficiently.
Xanthomonas is virulent, meaning its infection spreads fast and
wide. It also evolves very quickly. Thus plants that seem to be resistant now
might turn susceptible later as the pathogen evolves into different strains.
Dr Laha said, “The new breed has been field tested in farms
across several states and has been exposed to various strains of Xanthomonas.
We have done three backcrossing and six generations of improvement. It has
taken five years including a selection of parents and initial crossing.”
“The effort has resulted in several improved lines of ISM with a
novel, broad-spectrum blight-resistant gene Xa38 that show high levels of
blight resistance to different types of Xanthomonas. These plants are better
both in yield and in other traits than their ISM parent lines. After more field
tests in different parts of the country, it will be ready for commercial
release.”
Other co-authors include Arra Yugander, Raman M. Sundaram,
Kuldeep Singh, Duraisamy Ladhalakshmi, Lella V. Subba Rao, Maganti Sheshu
Madhav, Jyothi Badri and Madamsetty Srinivas Prasad. Their study is published

DAPITAN CITY, Zamboanga del Norte--Senator Cynthia Villar on Saturday
said that the Philippines could be rice sufficient by 2020, but added that
"it all depends on us if we will solve our problems” within that
timetable.
“If we help our farmers in mechanization of farming; if we have them use high
yielding rice variety; if we teach them how to manage their farms; yes, I
believe we can be rice sufficient in three years,” Villar said at a press
conference here.
Villar, chairperson of the Senate’s Committee on Agriculture, was guest of
honor on Saturday in the opening of Dapitan's second “Balanghoy (Cassava)
Festival” that will culminate with this city's 55th Charter Day celebration on
June 22.
Villar explained that the country remains short of rice supply, but only by
about seven percent.
"If we use that variety of rice that can produce six metric tons per
hectare, then we can increase rice production by 50 percent. Or even with only
20 percent increase, we can be rice sufficient,” she said.
The senator said that the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PRRI) has
developed the high producing rice variety and is now being introduced to
farmers.
“We have traditionally been using the variety of rice that produces only four
metric tons per hectare,” Villar said.
She also lamented that agriculture contributes only about 10 percent of our
gross domestic product as of now.
“And there's a prediction by the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization that there will be food shortage in the world by 2050, or 32 years
from now. That is because the world population will be nine billion by that
time from the present seven billion,” Villar said.
She added that the world has to increase food production by 70 percent, “that
is why we have to take care of our agriculture. You Dapitanons and the rest of
the people in the province should not forget it.”
As the average age of farmers has gone down to 57, Villar asked the academe to
attract the young back to agriculture.
Praising Dapitanons for giving emphasis to cassava, this city's most popular produce,
Villar asked the farmer and Zamboanga del Norte residents to give importance to
agriculture because two thirds of Filipinos depend on it.
She said a third of our population are farmers while the other third are in
agriculture-related businesses.
“You know, agriculture is also business. We should not think of agriculture as
planting alone, our schools should also teach farm management. Our farmers
should learn to borrow from banks, not from 5-6 (or loan sharks),” she said. (PNA)

By Dr. Emil Q. Javier
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) continues to be a major public health
concern worldwide. It is estimated that 250,000–300,000 vitamin A-deficient
children become blind every year, with half of them dying within a year after
getting blind.
Here at home, not only are we not making progress, the problem
is getting worse. VAD incidence among children increased from 15.2% in 2008 to
20.4% in 2013. According to the UNICEF study on the Economic Burden of
Malnutrition in the Philippines (2016), there are 1,840 childhood deaths per
year due to VAD.
Clearly our current programs to eliminate VAD by promoting
production and consumption of vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables,
distribution of vitamin A capsule supplements and mandatory vitamin A
fortification of vegetable cooking oil are not enough.
Another complementary way to increase vitamin A intake is by
biofortification of foods vulnerable populations regularly consume. This is
accomplished by enriching the beta carotene (pro-vitamin A) content of foods by
conventional plant breeding and/or by use of modern transgenic methods (GMOs).
We eat a lot of rice but the rice endosperm is devoid of beta
carotene. Unfortunately, there are no landraces nor related rice species which
carry the genes for beta carotene in the grains. The recourse is to transfer
the beta carotene genes from other species which do not normally interbreed
with rice. After years of effort, scientists have succeeded in transferring
such genes, first from the golden daffodil, and then later, from yellow corn.
Scientists at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and
the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) have incorporated these beta
carotene genes from yellow corn into our popular varieties (baptized as Golden
Rice). And now Golden Rice is ready for formal assessment for food and feed
safety, for bio-efficacy, and finally for field testing in farmers’ fields.
Applications are now pending since last year with the Bureau of Plant Industry
(BPI) of the Department of Agriculture (DA).
In the meantime, Golden Rice has passed the assessments of three
other national regulatory agencies for food and feed safety, namely by the Food
Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), Health Canada, and the US Food and
Drug Administration (US-FDA).
Following are the exact quotes from the assessments of Golden
Rice by these national regulatory bodies:
FSANZ:… “No potential public health and safety concerns have
been identified in the assessment of GR2E (technical code for Golden Rice). On
the basis of the data provided in the present Application, and other available
information, food derived for GR2E is considered to be safe for human
consumption as food derived from conventional rice varieties.”
Health Canada: “Changes made in this rice variety did not pose a
greater risk to human health than rice varieties currently available in the
Canadian market,… Further, GR2E would have no impact on allergies, and that
there were no differences in the nutritional value of GR2E compared to other
traditional rice varieties available for consumption except for increased
levels of provitamin A.”
US-FDA: Concurred with the assessment of IRRI and declared that:
“Based on the safety and nutritional assessment IRRI has conducted, it is our
understanding that IRRI concludes that human and animal food from GR2E rice is
not materially different in composition, safety, or other relevant parameters
from rice-derived food currently on the market except for the intended beta
carotene change in GR2E rice… We have no further questions concerning human or
animal food derived from GR2E rice at this time.”
Needless to say, these competent national regulatory agencies of
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States, are as concerned with
the safety of their citizens as all other national bodies. They conduct their
assessments based on concepts and principles developed over more than two
decades by international organizations such as the World Health Organization
(WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organizations (FAO) of the United Nations, the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Codex
Alimentarius Commission (CAC). What further assurances do we need!
We raised a furor over the alleged wrongful deaths from the
mis-application of the Sanofi Dengvaxia vaccine against dengue (in the order of
perhaps, less than a hundred). Should not we be even more concerned with the
1,840 needless deaths every year of poor Filipino children from vitamin A
deficiency? How much longer do we have to wait until Golden Rice is made
available as an economic, sustainable option to eliminate vitamin A deficiency?
UP
singing ambassadors
—
proudly filipino
Last Wednesday, I had the fortune of attending one of the four
farewell concerts “The Reason We Sing” of the UP Singing Ambassadors (UPSA) at
the Ayala Museum together with former UP Regent Nelia Teodoro Gonzalez.
I was so moved by their musicality, harmony, choreography, and
over-all stage presence so much so that when I was singled out in the crowd and
asked to extemporaneously say a few words, all I could say was “You make us
proud.”
Indeed as a collection of music-minded students from different
colleges in UP Diliman, first organized by conductor Ed Lumbera Manguiat as a
freshman choir at the Kalayaan Residence Hall, UPSA has gone a long way and
conquered the world, figuratively.
Since then, UPSA has toured Europe and parts of the world many
times; competed in 21 international choral competitions, and in the process
garnered five grand prizes and 23 first prizes, bringing honor and fame to the
country and to the University of the Philippines.
Among their Grand prizes were 1) 4th International Choir
Festival. Sopot, Poland (May 2008); 2) Festival Choral International de
Neuchatel. Neuchatel, Switzerland (August 2008); 3) 3rd International Choir
Competition of Sacred Musi., Prague, Czech Republic (July 2005), and 4) 4th
Concorso Polifonico “Guido d’Arezzo.” Arezzo, Italy (2001).
Locally, UPSA has excelled well. UPSA received the “Ani ng
Dangal” award by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) “for
achieving the highest levels of artistic excellence and bringing honor to the
country,” in 2009 and 2012. UPSA was also adjudged Best Chorale Group at the
annual ALIW AWARDS in 2002, 2010 and 2011, and had been elevated to the Aliw
Hall of Fame.
UPSA’s amiable conductor, Dr. Ed Lumbera Manguiat, honoris
causa, has the distinction of being the first Asian conductor to win the Grand
Prize of the prestigious Concorso Polifonico choral competition in Arezzo,
Italy, in 2001. He likewise was awarded the Conductor’s Award (Dirigentenpreis)
at the second JOHANNES BRAHMS International Choir Competition in Germany in
2001. And the Special Prize for Excellent Conducting Performance at the BELA
BARTOK International Choral Competition in Debrecen, Hungary in 2012.
You have to hear and see them to believe, and be proud of them
as Filipinos. UPSA has two remaining concerts before they leave for their
coming European tour to Berlin, Germany; Torrevieja, Spain; Florence, Italy and
Arezzo, Italy. You can watch them at the UP Bahay ng Alumni in UP Diliman
campus this Sunday, June 17 at 5 p.m. And on June 18 at the UP Film center at
6:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from P300 to P1,000. Students get 50% discount;
seniors, the usual 20%.

Synopsis:
Protein supplements are bodybuilding supplements that are used
by individuals, who are involved in bodybuilding, weightlifting, mixed martial
arts, and other athletics to gain muscles, body weight, improve athletic
performance with respect to reduce excess body fat. These supplements are
necessary to consume with a proper diet to increase dietary protein intake. The
major reason for more intakes of protein supplements by most of the body
builders is convenient to use, easy preparation, and to lower the consumption
of fats and carbohydrates. However, there is no scientific harmony regarding
performance benefits associated with protein supplementation.
Protein supplements are available in ready-to-drink shakes,
bars, meal replacement products, bites, oats, gels, and powders. From which
protein powders is considerably used before or after exercise and blend with
water, milk or fruit juice. Further, protein powders are the source of protein
from animals or plants such as dairy, eggs, peas or rice. These powders are
available in three major forms such as protein concentrates, protein isolates,
and protein hydrolysates. Protein concentrates are created by extracting proteins
from daily diet food using enzymes. Additional fats and carbohydrates get
removed in protein isolation process. Further, the main benefit of protein
hydrolysates powder is that it allows the body to absorb protein more quickly
as it is produced by the additional heating process.

Rise in Rice Imports
Close to 178,000 tons of rice worth more than $183.5 million
were imported into Iran during the first two months of the current Iranian year
(March 21-May 21), registering a 22.1% and 9.1% decline in weight and value
respectively compared with the similar period of last year.
Figures released by the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs
Administration also showed that this amount of rice purchases accounted for
3.4% and 2.7% of the volume and value of Iran’s total imports over the period respectively,
Mehr News Agency reported.
Iranians consume 3.2 million tons of the grain every year while
domestic production stands at 2.2 million tons.

DA wants to overhaul rice packaging

SHARES
Published June
16, 2018, 10:00 PM
By Madelaine B. Miraflor
A policy that will completely change the way rice is being sold
in the Philippines is now in the offing. This means that soon rice can no
longer be bought in sacks but in specific per kilo packages.
For the sake of food safety and traceability, Agriculture
Emmanuel Piñol said he is now pushing for an overhaul in rice packaging system
in the Philippines — which will do away with the traditional way of selling
different variety of rice by having them exposed in open containers with their
price tags on it. This has always been the practice in every wet market in the
country.
This move will be formalized by a policy that the Department of
Agriculture (DA) is going to draft.
“This will not be implemented right away. But we will go towards
this direction in the context of food safety and traceability,” Piñol said.
In ensuring food safety, Piñol said the current system now,
which allows everyone to easily touch the rice, is not hygienic, while his per
kilo packaging proposal will help consumers identify where their rice was
produced, who produced it, and when it was milled.
As for the additional cost this will entail consumers, Piñol
shrugged this off, saying it will only add about R1 in the overall retail cost
of rice.
If ever, this proposal by Piñol will complement the move of
Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and
Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) to
develop green packaging technology using eco-friendly materials for rice and
other commodities.
The project is intended to design an environment-friendly
process protocol in developing packaging materials for specialty rice and other
food commodities.
On Wednesday, Piñol said the government is already at the
tailend of its computations on how much Suggested Retail Price (SRP) to impose
on basic food commodities like rice, fish, and vegetables.
It forms part of the government’s effort to address the rising
prices of basic crops, which is being blamed to the Tax Reform Acceleration and
Inclusion (TRAIN) law — the first tax reform to be implemented in the
Philippines in many years.

Popular rice variety gets extra gene power to
fight bacterial attacks
Pyramiding of multiple
BB-resistant genes into rice varieties.

Rice is considered essential for millions of Asians because of
the immense influence on their culture, diets and economic condition and is the
most important and dominant staple food crop in Asia. Approximately 92% of
rice is grown and consumed in Asia, which encompasses 55% of the world
population.
Now, scientists at the Hyderabad-based Indian Institute of Rice Research have
developed a new variety of the popular Improved Samba Mahsuri (ISM) rice that
can resist bacterial blight (BB) disease. BB caused by Xanthomonas oryzae
PV. oryzae (Xoo) remains a primary production constraint in rice in India and
in most of the east and southeast Asian countries.
This disease primarily occurs in epidemic proportions in monsoon
(wet) season, particularly in irrigated and rain-fed lowland ecosystems. The
disease affects rice crop, is caused by bacteria, Xanthomonas oryzae, and
drastically reduces rice productivity.
Dr Gouri Sankar Laha, co-author of the study said, “Till now
about 41 resistant genes have been identified from diverse sources. These genes
differ from each other in their mode of action. While some are broad spectrum,
others are narrow in their resistance spectrum.”
Using Marker-assisted Backcross Breeding or MABB technique,
scientists succeeded in gene insertion in genetically modified crops
efficiently.
Xanthomonas is virulent, meaning its infection spreads fast and
wide. It also evolves very quickly. Thus plants that seem to be resistant now
might turn susceptible later as the pathogen evolves into different strains.
Dr Laha said, “The new breed has been field tested in farms
across several states and has been exposed to various strains of Xanthomonas.
We have done three backcrossing and six generations of improvement. It has
taken five years including a selection of parents and initial crossing.”
“The effort has resulted in several improved lines of ISM with a
novel, broad-spectrum blight-resistant gene Xa38 that show high levels of
blight resistance to different types of Xanthomonas. These plants are better
both in yield and in other traits than their ISM parent lines. After more field
tests in different parts of the country, it will be ready for commercial
release.”
Other co-authors include Arra Yugander, Raman M. Sundaram,
Kuldeep Singh, Duraisamy Ladhalakshmi, Lella V. Subba Rao, Maganti Sheshu
Madhav, Jyothi Badri and Madamsetty Srinivas Prasad. Their study is published
in the journal PLOS One.

Eat this common food to lower type 2
diabetes risk, study says

Journal-Constitution
Looking for a way to lower your blood glucose
levels? One plant may be able to help, according to a new report.
» RELATED: This common legume can help
lower your blood pressure, study says
Researchers from the University of Guelph in
Canada recently conducted a small study, published in the Journal
of Nutrition, to determine the association between lentils, a type
of pulse, and reduced blood glucose levels. High blood glucose levels can lead
to Type 2 diabetes.
To do so, they examined 24 healthy adults,
who were fed four dishes: white rice only, half white rice and half large
green lentils, half white rice and half small green lentils, and half white
rice and half split red lentils.
The analysts measured the subjects’ blood
glucose levels before they ate and two hours afterward. They then repeated the
same experiment this time using white potatoes alone and the same combination
of potatoes and lentils.
“We mixed the lentils in with the potatoes
and rice because people don’t typically eat pulses on their own, but rather
consume them in combination with other starches as part of a larger meal, so we
wanted the results to reflect that,” coauthor Alison Duncan said in a statement.
» RELATED: at this meat twice a week to avoid heart attacks
and strokes
After analyzing the results, they found that
replacing half a serving of rice with lentils caused blood glucose to drop by
up to 20 percent. Replacing potatoes with lentils resulted in a 35 percent
decrease.
They explained that pulses, such as lentils,
can encourage the production of short-chain fatty acids and slow digestion and
the release of sugars into the bloodstream, which can lower blood glucose
levels.
“This slower absorption means you don’t
experience a spike in glucose,” Duncan said. “Having high levels over a period
of time can lead to mismanagement of blood glucose, which is the hallmark of
Type 2 diabetes. Essentially, eating lentils can lower that risk.”
The scientists now plan to further their
investigations and collaborate with more health experts to explore the benefits
of lentils.
“We are hoping,” Duncan said, “that building
evidence for approval of a health claim for pulses will further encourage
people to add pulses to their side dishes.”

Pakistan. Rice exports up by 30pc to
$1.58b in 10 months
15.06.2018
Pakistan
has come out of the crisis of low exports, which was observed during the last
three years, as the rice exports have increased by around 30 percent to $1.58
billion during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year (2017-18) as
exporters pushed fresh cargoes to Indonesia, Kenya and other markets. 
Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan chairman Samee Ullah Ch said that value
of rice export trade has been showing improvement due to the coordination of
REAP members with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan and customs. “Our
members are putting in untiring efforts, and aggressive marketing to increase
rice exports and to earn valuable foreign exchange,” he added. He said rice
exporters are making investments to install modern rice processing machinery
and using value-addition technology.
He said the association is sending trade delegations to various countries for
rice marketing. “Last month our delegation came back after a successful visit
to Iran, which is very lucrative and a potential market for basmati rice.
Around 100,000 tons of rice has so far been exported to Iran during the current
season.” He hoped that a handsome amount of foreign exchange would be fetched
by Pakistani rice exporters. He said that rice exports amounted to $1.23
billion during the corresponding period last year.
Samee Ullah Ch said exports increased 15 percent to 3.23 million tons during
the 10 months of the current fiscal year of 2017/18. He said exports of
non-basmati rice to Indonesia increased during the period.
New paddy variety
bursts onto East Godavari Agency scene
V.R. PURAM (EAST GODAVARI) , JUNE 16, 2018 00:38 IST
DRR
Dhan 44, developed by Indian Institute of Rice Research, has come out with
flying colours in field trials
A new paddy variety introduced on a trial basis in eight Agency
villages of Vara Ramachandrapuram mandal in East Godavari district holds
promise for farmers of the region.
DRR Dhan 44, developed by the Indian Institute of Rice Research
(IIRR), has fared better than MTU 1001, a common variety in this area. In
addition to yielding four bags more than other varieties, Dhan 44 has withstood
well the long dry spells. ICRISAT is giving 50 % input subsidy to identified
farmers.
Consortium approach
The consortium approach has evoked a good response with tribal
farmers coming forward to cultivate new varieties of paddy, pulses and other
crops.
This project has been taken up under Rythu Kosam in Andhra
Pradesh (AP Primary Sector Mission) and trials were conducted by ICRISAT under
the guidance of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) located on its
campus in Hyderabad with the help of the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Department,
the IIRR, and ASDS, an NGO.
Cooking quality of this variety has also been found good like
basmati. This variety yields more under minimal fertilizer application making
it most suitable for the Agency area where farmers don’t buy much fertilizer.
This year, more farmers have came forward to take part in participatory
demonstrations. IRRI senior scientist A. Narayana Rao said with the confidence
gained from the VR Puram demonstrations, the approach will be tried out in
Gangavaram and Y Ramavaram mandals in the East Godavari Agency area.
Spreading the word
Interacting with the farmers of Gangavaram and Yarlagadda
villages, he highlighted the success stories of DRR Dhan 44 and other varieties
in VR Puram mandal. About 20 farmers, four groups, five members in each group
came forward to participate in the demonstration during kharif 2018 with DRR
Dhan 44, KNM 118, RNR 15048 and DRR Dhan 46 along with other crops such as
sorghum, ragi, and groundnut which are being upscaled in these mandals for the
last two years. Rajesh Nune, visiting scientist, ICRISAT, said there was a
possibility of growing green manure and chickpea during the rabi season if
cattle were constrained to non-crop areas for grazing. He suggested setting up
of ‘community groups’ to prevent cattle from entering fields

Protein-packed
and rich in fibre, researchers have found another reason to eat lentils
Substituting
rice and potatoes with lentils can significantly lower blood sugar levels,
University of Guelph study shows
LAURA BREHAUT
Updated:
June 14, 2018
Researchers found that swapping starchy sides with lentils can
have positive effects on blood sugar levels.
They’re high in fibre, full of complex
carbohydrates and 25 per cent protein. As a pantry staple, they’re inexpensive
and versatile. And new research out of the University of Guelph has found yet another compelling reason to eat
lentils: they can significantly lower blood sugar levels.
In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers discovered that
making a simple swap in familiar starchy side dishes could have profound
effects. Substituting half a serving of rice with lentils resulted in a 20 per
cent drop in blood glucose, while the same substitution with potatoes showed a
35 per cent decrease.
“Pulses are extremely
nutrient-dense food that have the potential to reduce chronic diseases
associated with mismanaged glucose levels,” said Prof. Alison Duncan of the
Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences, explaining that they can
decelerate digestion and help stabilize sugars in the bloodstream.
“This slower absorption means you
don’t experience a spike in glucose. Having high levels over a period of time
can lead to mismanagement of blood glucose, which is the hallmark of Type 2
diabetes. Essentially, eating lentils can lower that risk.”
The study looked at the blood
glucose readings of 24 healthy adults after eating four dishes: “white rice
only, half white rice and half large green lentils, half white rice and half
small green lentils, and half white rice and half split red lentils.”
Researchers took blood glucose
readings before the participants ate, and then again two hours afterwards. They
then repeated the process with white potatoes, using the same combination of
lentils as with the rice.
The legumes were mixed in with
the starches to better reflect how people tend to eat them, the researchers
said, and the results were similar for each of the three types of lentils.
“Canada has a huge production of
lentils, but we export most of it and only 13 per cent of Canadians eat them on
any given day,” Duncan said. “We are hoping this research will make people more
aware of the health benefits of eating pulses.”

DA mulls
over rice packaging system
By: Karl
R. Ocampo - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer /
05:35 AM June 16, 2018
The
country’s agriculture chief is looking at the possibility of requiring standard
rice packaging in markets as the agency reviews food safety practices in the
rice retail industry.
If
implemented, rice will no longer be sold in open stalls, a practice that
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol described as “unhygienic.”
“We’re
looking at marketing rice in packages of one, two, and five kilos. This is also
to ensure that there would be traceability for the protection of consumers,”
said Piñol in an interview.
“If you go
to public markets anybody can touch the rice … And wouldn’t it be nice when you
go to the market and you don’t have to worry if you’re being cheated with the
scale since everything is already packaged?” he added.
The
secretary said the planned policy would be implemented in phases, and may start
after the imposition next week of suggested retail prices of various basic
commodities.
While the
new policy may entail additional costs to retailers, Piñol said it was a small
price to pay in the name of food safety.
Piñol said
the policy could be crafted under the Food Safety Law.
The new
policy will complement plans to “properly classify” rice varieties.
The
thorough review of the rice retail industry comes at a time when the country is
set to transition to a “rice tariff regime,” under which the government will
remove its import quota on rice and instead slap an additional tariff.
This will
open the country to more rice imports and is seen to benefit consumers as
retail prices of rice are expected to fall by P4 to P7 a kilo, according to the
government’s economic managers.

State
to provide training to farmers in Malda for aromatic rice cultivation
Pradip Chatterjee | 15 Jun 2018 10:53 PM Kolkata: State
agriculture department has decided to impart training to the farmers of Malda
district, where the department is planning to produce Tulaipanji and other
aromatic rice in large scale. A team of research wing at Uttar Banga Krishi
Vishwavidyalaya will soon visit Malda district not only to carry out a detailed
survey but also to encourage the farmers to cultivate Tulaipanji and other
scented rice. The step is a part of the overall initiative of the state
Agriculture department to increase the production of aromatic rice. The
research wing of Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya will identify the places
where these rice could be grown on a large scale. They will encourage the
farmers into new ventures and training would be given to them. The department
will provide seeds to the farmers in the district at a cheaper rate so that
more number of farmers show their interest. The state government will extend
all possible benefits to the farmers to make the attempt a success, sources in
the department said. Agriculture department will carry out a detailed study,
examine the nature of the land where Tulaipamji and other aromatic rice could
be grown in North Bengal. State agriculture minister recently held a high-level
meeting with the researchers of Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya and other
senior officials of the department, chalking out an elaborate plan on how to
increase the production of aromatic rice. It may be mentioned here that Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee during her recent visit to the North Bengal, asked the
senior government officials to take necessary steps so that Tulaipanji,
Gobindobhog and other aromatic rice can be produced on a large scale. The main
purpose of the move is to ensure that the people get these rice at a lesser
price. Proded by the Chief Minister, the agriculture department is also leaving
no stone unturned to make it possible. It may be mentioned here that state
Agriculture department has already been taking help from the research fellows
of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya and Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya
who will provide assistance to the department in this regard. The main purpose
is to increase the production of fragrant rice in the state. Asish Banerjee,
state Agriculture minister said his department has set a target to increase the
production of various aromatic rice including Tulaipanji and Gobindabhog in
various districts. A research wing of Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya has
chosen Malda district where Tulaipanji could be grown on a large scale. A team
will soon visit the district to identify the areas.

Why lentils
may be the next big superfood
Katherine Martinko feistyredhair

Scientists have discovered some surprisingly awesome
side-effects to eating lentils.
When you think of the word 'superfood,' I bet lentils are one
thing that do not come to mind right away. Some interesting new science from the
University of Guelph, however, could skyrocket this humble little legume to the
status of dietary darling. Lentils are astoundingly effective at lowering blood
glucose levels, researchers have discovered. When carbohydrates such as rice
and potatoes are swapped out for lentils, it can lower blood glucose by up to
35 percent.
In the study, which is the first of its kind, 24 adult
participants were given four dishes to eat -- one with plain rice, half white
rice and half large green lentils, half white rice and small green lentils, and
half white rice with small red lentils. Researchers measured blood glucose
levels prior to eating and two hours after. The process was repeated with two
more dishes -- white potatoes alone and half white potatoes with lentils.
Study author Allison Duncan, professor at the Department of
Human Health and Nutrition, said,
"We mixed the lentils in with the potatoes and rice because
people don't typically eat pulses on their own, but rather consume them in
combination with other starches as part of a larger meal, so we wanted the
results to reflect that."
The rice-and-lentil combinations saw in a 20 percent drop in
blood glucose levels, while replacing potatoes with lentils led to a 35 percent
decrease. This is a valuable discovery because it could help many people who
struggle with chronic diseases that are associated with mismanaged glucose
levels, not to mention improving the overall health of the general population.
"Pulses, such as lentils, can slow digestion and the
release of sugars found in starch into the bloodstream, ultimately reducing
blood glucose levels, said Duncan. "This slower absorption means you don't
experience a spike in glucose. Having high levels over a period of time can
lead to mismanagement of blood glucose, which is the hallmark of Type 2
diabetes. Essentially, eating lentils can lower that risk."
The University of Guelph is located in Canada, which grows 65
percent of the world's lentils, the vast majority of which come from the
province of Saskatchewan. Despite this, only 13 percent of Canadians eat
lentils on any given day; unfortunately they are far from being the dietary
staple here that they are in India and the Middle East.
The researchers hope that this study will boost culinary
interest in lentils, and that Health Canada will pay attention: "We are
hoping that building evidence for approval of a health claim for pulses will
further encourage people to add pulses to their side dishes."

Nigeria Rice
Imports Seen Rising 12% on Demand, Lower Output

(Bloomberg) -- Nigeria, the world’s
third-biggest rice importer, will likely receive 12 percent more of the grain
from foreign sources in the 2018-19 season as demand spikes at a time of
declining output due to higher costs and insecurity, an industry body said.
“We foresee a significant drop in rice
production this year,” Mohammed Sahabi, chairman of the rice farmers’
association in Kebbi, a state that’s one of the country’s top three producers
of the grain, said by phone from the local capital, Birnin Kebbi.
The amount of land allocated to rice in
the Kebbi area has likely fallen by half this year from the 200,000 hectares
(494,200 acres) cultivated in 2017, he said. Other major producing states such
as Kogi and Ebonyi are dealing with an increasing number of clashes between
nomadic herders and farmers, which keep planters from tilling their land.
Internally Displaced
Nigeria’s rice imports are set to
increase to 2.9 million metric tons in the 2018-19 season from 2.6 million tons
in 2017-18, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Reasons cited
included conflict, population growth and more people giving up traditional
coarse grains in their meals in favor of rice. Nigeria is Africa’s
most-populous nation with almost 200 million inhabitants.
The forecast output-drop is a setback
for government plans to stop rice imports by the end of this year to save
foreign currency. Production had increased more than 50 percent over the past
five years to 3.7 million tons last year. Domestic demand rose 4 percent to 6.7
million tons in the 2017-18 year that ended in May.
President Muhammadu Buhari, 75, is
seeking to diversify Nigeria’s oil-dependent economy by boosting agriculture,
especially rice production. Elected in 2015, he has overseen investments of
almost $1 billion in rice farming and milling, virtually banned importers of
the grain from buying foreign exchange, raised tariffs and pushed the central
bank to lend to farmers. At the same time, rice smuggling through neighboring Benin and
Niger has soared over the past years.
China
suspends rice imports from Myanmar after bank freezes

Muse 105th
mile trade zone in Myanmar-China border.
Chinese merchants have suspended its
rice imports from China-Myanmar border after a freeze on bank accounts of merchants,
said Than Oo, secretary of Bayintnaung Rice Brokerage Center.
“Rice prices remain unchanged as China
has suspended rice imports from Myanmar. Rice prices will go up when there are
high demands from China. Rice trading is not working well as China makes a
crackdown on contrabands,” he added.
China has frozen bank accounts of
traders in China-Myanmar border very often. Remittance services have suspended
since June 12 as there are some problems with money transfer, according to
merchants in Muse border.
Khin Maung Lwin, assistant permanent
secretary of Commerce Ministry said: “Commerce Ministry will sign a MoU with
Yunnan province government to officially export rice, sugar, maize and other
agro products to China in June.
Under the MoU, Myanmar will import farm
equipment, electronics, steel and steel products which are equivalent to export
volumes, from China.
Myanmar’s rice exports via border area
declined in April and May as China reduced its Minimum Support Rice (MSP),
according to Lu Maw Myint Maung, joint general-secretary of Myanmar Rice
Federation.
Myanmar exported more than 70 per cent
of rice via border trade and the rest via marine trade.

NFA rice may
end up with rice traders again’
BY JEFFERSON ANTIPORDA, TMT ON JUNE 15, 2018NATION
OPPOSITION
Sen. Paolo Benigno Aquino 4th on Friday expressed concern about the possibility
of the imported rice procured by the National Food Authority (NFA) ending up in
the hands of rice traders again, leaving the buffer stock of the grains agency
depleted.
Aquino
raised such possibility since the corruption allegation surrounding NFA
Administrator Jason Aquino has not been acted upon by Malacañang.
“The
government should look into allegations against Aquino rather than entrust him
with the task of importing thousands of metric tons of rice,” the opposition
senator said.
The NFA
administrator was blamed for the depletion of NFA buffer stock early this year,
which led to the sudden spike on the prices of commercial rice in the market.
“It was
his blunder that caused the rice price increase and added to the burden of
Filipino families,” Sen. Aqiuno pointed out.
The
initial shipments of the 250,000 metric tons of imported rice approved by the
NFA council last February arrived in the country early this month in Subic and
Surigao.
The
16,000 tons of rice were distributed in provinces surrounding Subic and Surigao
to stabilize rice prices in the area. The supply for Metro Manila and other
regions in the country are expected to arrive in succeeding trenches.
“What
happened to the allegations against the NFA leadership? Now the imported rice
has started to arrive, we should make sure that things would not happen again
wherein the NFA rice and its buffer stock would just end up in hands of rice
traders,” Aquino added.
During a
Senate hearing on the rice issue, the NFA admitted it failed to comply with the
required 15-day buffer stock since last year because of natural and man-made
calamities experienced by the country in 2017, including the five-month Marawi
siege.
The NFA
head claimed that the agency anticipated the rice shortage and submitted a
request for rice importation as early as October 2017 to the NFA Council, but
its request to import 250,000 metric tons (MT) of rice in January was denied
due to the stable price in commercial rice and the good local rice production
forecast.
But some
resource persons who attended the hearing alleged that while the NFA is only
allowed to sell rice to retailers, the agency allowed its stocks to be sold to
favored rice traders through dummy rice retailers.
Allegations
were also made that the NFA rice was illegally sold to traders who then
re-bagged and sold it as commercial rice at P42 to P45, or about 55 to 66
percent higher than the NFA selling price of P27 to P32.
Mayor
Teresa Alegado of Cebu during the hearing noted that the practice was so
blatant that traders were selling the NFA rice without even bothering to re-bag
this.
Rice
watchdog Bantay Bigas also pointed out that smugglers are taking advantage of
the entry of the rice imported by the NFA fromVietnam and Thailand as it
coincides with the scheduled arrival of the rice imports.
“Rice
importation only breeds rice smuggling,” Bantay Bigas spokesperson Cathy
Estavillo said in reaction to the interception Thursday of shipment of 100,000
sacks of Thailand rice worth P187 million by the Bureau of Customs (BoC) at the
Manila International Container Port (MICP).
Based on
BoC’s assessment, the shipments came from Vietnam and consigned to Sta. Rosa
Farm Products Corporation.
The
current rice importation policy is causing the increasing number of smuggling
cases in the country as it only gives opportunity for illegal rice imports from
private traders to enter the Philippines, Bantay Bigas said.
Experience
tells us that rice importation permits sold to private traders were used to
create an opportunity for illegally imported rice to enter the country,”
Estavillo said.
According
to her, the proposed rice tariffication would even worsen rice smuggling as the
government welcomes any private trader who can afford to import rice.
Despite
the NFA controversies President Rodrigo Duterte has retained Aquino as NFA head
but returned the agency under the control of the Department of Agriculture.
The
president also ordered the removal of the powers of NFA Council chairman and
Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr., a move which Sen. Aquino said was
unnecessary and leaves the NFA even more prone to corruption and impunity.
Evasco
was pushing for a government-to-private mode of procurement to make the process
more transparent while Aquino wanted a government-to-government mode, which is
prone to corruption.

Anheuser-Busch
Joins Forces with USA Rice to Strengthen American Rice Industry
By Josh Hankins
JONESBORO, AR -- Anheuser-Busch and USA Rice are proud to
announce a major new investment in water efficiency, rice-land preservation,
and wildlife protection through the Rice Stewardship Partnership.
Rice is one of the four natural ingredients in
many Anheuser-Busch great-tasting beers ever since Adolphus Busch first added
it to Budweiser to set the brew apart from other lagers.
An investment in the Rice Stewardship
Partnership will bring the nation's leading brewer - and largest end user of
American rice - together with growers, environmental groups, and government
agencies to strengthen the U.S. rice-growing industry through innovation,
knowledge-sharing, and supporting sustainable and efficient practices.
Anheuser-Busch's investment will help fund
strategies to protect working ricelands, including conservation planning,
irrigation efficiencies, nutrient management, and education of decision-makers
on water, agriculture, and wildlife habitats. The Partnership will also
help improve air quality, conserve energy, and support rice growers' bottom
line by testing new irrigation strategies.
These efforts will help advance Anheuser-Busch's
2025 Sustainability Goals announced earlier this year, which include connecting
100 percent of their direct farmers to new technology and empowering them to
try new agricultural practices, as well as engaging 100 percent of their
facilities in water efficiency efforts.
"From seed to sip, every step of our
brewing process is focused on responsible and sustainable water stewardship and
smart agricultural practices," said Jess Newman, Anheuser-Busch's director
of U.S. agronomy. "The last ten years have seen us reduce water
usage in our facilities by 38 percent and we are excited to keep moving in this
positive direction."
"USA Rice's partnership with Ducks
Unlimited and with great members like Anheuser-Busch has enabled us to provide
much-needed financial and technical support to conservation minded rice farmers
who are working to continuously improve their operations and hopefully see a
positive return on their investments in both future profits and achieving their
sustainability goals," said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward.
Anheuser-Busch's 15 agricultural facilities
across the country include a rice facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas - a proud
part of the $4 billion Arkansas rice industry. Most of the rice milled at
the Jonesboro facility is sourced within a 30-minute drive from local farming
families, and by-products are used as inputs in the feed industry, providing a
key element for cattle feed.
To celebrate and thank the Arkansas rice-growing
community, Anheuser-Busch hosted a Grower Appreciation Dinner for their local
growers last night. The event included presentations from senior
leadership and local industry members.
"We're thrilled that this new Rice
Stewardship Partnership will enable us to play an even stronger role supporting
the Arkansas rice industry," said Bill Jones, rice agronomy manager at the
Arkansas rice mill. "At Anheuser-Busch, we're constantly looking for
ways to build a more sustainable industry and even stronger local growing
communities."
Rice exports to decline by 10% on
restrictions from importing countries

introduces stringent quality norms; a part of decline to compensate through
export to China

Amid weak prices of agri commodities, robust rice demand bucks the

·
After a bumpy ride last year,
India's rice exports are likely to decline this year by up to 10 per cent this
year due to restrictions imposed by importing countries.
While Bangladesh has imposed 28
per cent import duty on rice to restrict its exports largely from India, the
European Union also made its quality norms stringent with introduction of new
pesticides limit. With this, non-basmati rice export to Bangladesh and basmati
rice shipment to the European Union is set to decline.
The restrictions from importing
countries assume significance as Bangladesh contributes over 18 per cent
India's 8.5 million tonnes of non-basmati rice exports, the European Union
shares nearly 10 per cent of India's basmati rice exports annually. A part of
this decline, however, is likely to offset with the beginning of direct import
from China, possibly in the second half of the current financial year.
"Overall rice exports from
India are set to decline this year due to stringent quality norms introduced by
the European Union. For immediate future, therefore, India may lose its entire
400,000 tonnes of European Union markets in the immediate term. The scenario,
however, would improve with growers to reduce pesticides use in basmati rice in
the long term. Also, Indian exporters would lose the entire Bangladesh market in
the immediate term,” said Gurnam Arora, Joint Managing Director, Kohinoor
Foods, one of India’s largest basmati rice exporters which sells its aromatic
rice under Kohinoor brand.
Data compiled by the Agricultural
and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) showed a bumpy
ride of both basmati and non-basmati rice exports during the last financial
year. India emerged as a large supplier of rice to the South East Asian (SEA)
countries due to a devastating flood in this region last year.
Consequently, India's both
non-basmati rice exports jumped by a staggering 28 per cent to 8.65 million
tonnes for the financial year 2017-18 compared to 6.77 million tonnes in the
previous financial year. India’s basmati rice exports, however, stagnated at around
4 million tonnes in three years.
In value terms, however,
non-basmati rice exports from India jumped by a staggering 41 per cent to
$3564.39 million for FY17-18 versus $2531.47 million in the previous financial
year.
“A part of the decline in non-basmati
rice export would get compensated through shipment to China for which Apeda has
started registering exporters,” said a senior official with a large rice
exporting company.
A study from India Rating
(Ind-Ra) believes India’s export price is likely to remain competitive in the
international market and the recent decline in India’s rice export prices could
attract buying from African countries, as Indian rice has become more
competitive while a decline in rupee is cushioning exporters’ margins.
Indian rice prices softened as
rice exports from India declined in April 2018, due to a decline in the exports
of basmati rice to Saudi Arabia and non-basmati rice to Bangladesh along with a
subdued demand from African countries. Ind-Ra believes imports by Bangladesh
are likely to reduce in 2018-2019, as its domestic output rebounds due to a
crop recovery and expansion in area sown because of high prices in 2017. As a
result, India’s exports could reduce by 0.5 million tonnes to 1 million tonnes.
In May 2017, Chinese authority
had identified 14 rice exporters from India to be considered for its shipment
to China. But registration of interested exporters started recently.
Meanwhile, according to the third
advance estimate for 2017 - 2018, India is set to achieve a record rice
production of 111.5 million tonnes against the target of 108.5 million tonnes
this year breaching its previous record of 109.7 million tonnes for 2016-2017.

PRRI trains Pangasinan farm techs on
crop management
By
-
June 14, 2018
Pangasinan-based local farmer technicians (LFTs) were trained by
the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) on proper crop management to
help their province sustain and even improve its rice production.
PhilRice said some 30 LFTs participated in a weeklong
specialized course on “pest identification, disease diagnosis and damage
assessment.”
Ev P. Angeles, training coordinator of PhilRice’s technology
management and services division, said LFTs are trained to help their fellow
farmers in identifying, assessing and managing major pests and diseases in
rice.
Angeles added it is vital to enhance the skills and capabilities
of local LFTs as they are being tapped by the Department of Agriculture “to
complement local agricultural extension workers in providing technical
assistance to farmers.” LFTs are model farmers in farming communities, according
to Angeles.
“We chose participants from major rice-producing areas of the
province who need to strengthen their pest and disease diagnostic skills or
those who have not undergone other intensive field diagnostic and pest
management skills training,” she was quoted as saying in a statement.
“Through practical, hands-on exercises, we hoped to enhance
their competence in this critical aspect of rice crop management,” she added.
From June 4 to 8, the LFTs learned principles on the following
topics: integrated pest management, agroecosystems analysis and the PalayCheck
system.
These topics would help the LFTs in “making more informed
decisions in pest and disease management,” according to PhilRice.
Carolina Badaguas, 54, from Sual, Pangasinan, said the training
taught her how to do proper weed management.
“Weeds are rampant in our area and my fellow farmers often
resort to spraying generous amount of herbicide,” Badaguas was quoted in the
same statement as saying. “We learned that practicing thorough land preparation
is important in managing weeds, as it helps facilitate good management of
water, nutrients and pests.”
Another participant, Solomon C. Ibay of Asingan, Pangasinan,
said he learned the importance of getting accurate diagnosis of rice diseases.
“When we know how to identify the kind of disease that infects
our field, it is easier for us to make the right decisions in implementing the
needed management practices,” the 56-year-old Ibay was quoted saying. “We also
learned about harmful and friendly organisms.”
Pangasinan is the country’s third top rice-producing province in
2017, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority. The province produced
1.125 million metric tons of palay last year, which was 1.35 percent higher
than the 1.11 MMT recorded output in 2016, PSA data showed.

Popular
rice variety gets extra gene power to fight bacterial attacks
KOLLEGALA SHARMAT+ T-
MYSURU, JUNE 14
Researchers at
the Hyderabad-based Indian Institute of Rice Research have developed a new
variety of the popular Improved Samba Mahsuri (ISM) rice that can resist
bacterial blight disease.
Bacterial
blight disease, which affects rice crop, is caused by bacteria, Xanthomonas
oryzae, and drastically reduces rice productivity.
The high
yielding ISM variety is already protected against bacterial blight by three
genes, but the new variety has been developed by adding another gene, Xa38,
that increases the resistance. “Till now about 41 resistant genes have been
identified from diverse sources.
These genes
differ from each other in their mode of action. While some are broad spectrum,
others are narrow in their resistance spectrum,” explained Dr Gouri Sankar
Laha, who led the study, while speaking to India Science Wire.
The
researchers used Marker assisted Backcross Breeding or MABB technique to
accomplish the gene insertion. Unlike transgenic techniques used in genetically
modified crops, MABB is less laborious but more efficient than traditional
methods of ‘gene’ transfer. Besides it does not require regulatory clearances
necessary for transgenic crops.
ISM is popular
and has been grown in over 80,000 hectares in south and east India since its
release in 2008. However, of late it was observed in experiments that when
deliberately infected, ISM plants had longer lesions – infected spot - than the
earlier ones, indicating emergence of a new strain of Xanthomonas.
Xanthomonas is
virulent, meaning its infection spreads fast and wide. It also evolves very
quickly. Thus plants that seem to be resistant now might turn susceptible later
as the pathogen evolves into different strains.
“It is,
therefore, necessary that we keep developing new resistant varieties. Also rice
plant resistant to Xanthomonas in a particular area may not be resistant to the
bacteria in another place,” explained Dr C A Deepak, a rice breeder at the
University of Agricultural Sciences, Karnataka, who is not associated with the
work. The breed improvement for bacterial blight disease is a continuous
process.
The new breed
has been field tested in farms across several states and has been exposed to
various strains of Xanthomonas. “We have done three backcrossing and six generations
of improvement. It has taken five years including selection of parents and
initial crossing,” said Dr Laha.
The effort has
resulted in several improved lines of ISM with novel, broad-spectrum
blight-resistant gene Xa38 that show high levels of blight resistance to
different types of Xanthomonas. These plants are better both in yield and in
other traits than their ISM parent lines. After more field tests in different
parts of the country, it will be ready for commercial release, Dr. Laha added.
The research
team included Arra Yugander, Raman M. Sundaram, Kuldeep Singh, Duraisamy
Ladhalakshmi, Lella V. Subba Rao, Maganti Sheshu Madhav, Jyothi Badri and
Madamsetty Srinivas Prasad. The research results have been published in the
journal PLOS One.

What
makes some varieties of rice resistant to drought?
Share6
Delhi Jun 15, (Research
Matters):
·
1 of 1
1.
In thirty years, the global population of 7
billion will increase by 30% to a staggering 9.1 billion people. Feeding everyone with
the same amount of land that is available today will undoubtedly be a
challenge. Along with expanding cities gobbling up agricultural and forest
land, changing climatic conditions with frequent spells of droughts also spell doom
for food production. Hence, researchers around the world are developing
drought-resistant varieties of food grains. In one such attempt, researchers at
the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, offer critical insights into the
intrinsic nature of certain types of rice that can resist drought.
Rice, a water-intensive crop grown by humans for thousands of
years, is a staple in many countries and the Asian rice, Oryza sativa, is the most
widely cultivated rice of the genus Oryza.
The crop fails during a drought, and water scarcity affects more than 23 million hectares of rainfed
rice production areas in South and Southeast Asia. While some varieties have
the potential for drought adaptations, the researchers of the study are
exploring the mechanism behind this through phenomics—the study of interactions
of genes with changes in the environment.
“India has 34.5% of total
irrigated area, which indicates that the rest of the farming area depends
mostly on rain. Even after constructing 91 major reservoirs, only 162 billion
cubic meters of water can be stored. Recently in India, eleven states out of
twenty-nine were affected by drought, resulting in a 40% yield loss, amounting
to $800 million. Therefore, our work aims at exploring the traits that can be
used in selecting drought-resistant crop”, says Prof. Archana Chugh, from IIT
Delhi and an author of the study published in the journal Plant Physiology and Biochemistry.
The study was supported by the National Agricultural Science Fund (NASF) under
the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
The researchers of the study investigated three
varieties of rice; Sahabhagidhan—a
local drought-tolerant variety, and two drought-sensitive varieties: IR64 and
MTU-1010. The researchers simulated the drought condition by cutting off water
supply to these plants for five consecutive days. They then explored the
genetic factors that help these varieties tolerate drought and correlated them
with the plant’s response to the applied stress with the aim of developing a
reliable 'marker' for drought resistance, which indicates the plant's ability
to survive periods of extreme water scarcity.
“A successful marker can be helpful in selection of
drought-tolerant varieties at different levels like morphological, anatomical,
biochemical, physiological and molecular. They should be easily detectable and
stable. Secondary traits such as root attributes, xylem diameter, stomatal
aperture, proline, and malondialdehyde can be used as selection criteria
by plant breeders for high yield production and drought tolerance in rice”,
explains Prof. Chugh in an interview with Research Matters.
But, what exactly happens to a plant during a drought? Lack of
adequate water limits its growth and affects its morphology, physiology, and
biochemistry. Leaves reduce in size, the stem and roots elongate, there is a
reduction in photosynthesis, transpiration and biomass, and an imbalance in
nutrients. The roots are the first to experience stress due to drought as they
grow beneath the soil. Hence, to survive, they either become more dense,
holding the soil together and maintaining the water potential or grow deeper to
access more water.
The authors found that Sahabhagidhan,
the drought-tolerant variety, continued to grow its roots during the stress,
while the drought sensitive varieties showed a reduction in the rate of growth.
Also, they observed that in Sahabhagidhan,
the xylem vessel, which carries water in plants, had reduced its area and its
numbers to survive the stress. This modification maintains water supply by
avoiding the formation of air bubbles, known as cavitation.
The study also found a significant correlation between the
morphological traits in these roots and the expression of aquaporin genes.
Aquaporins are proteins that form pores in cell membranes. They regulate water
uptake along with other small molecules. The researchers investigated two
aquaporins, OsPIP2;5 and OsNIP2;1, and found that the
drought tolerant variety showed an increase in OsPIP2;5, which may be useful to increase the
intake of water and thus supply to aerial organs. A decrease of OsNIP2;1 in the same
plant indicates another method of drought avoidance—decreasing the membrane
permeability to avoid excess water loss.
Correspondingly, the drought sensitive variety showed a
significantly lower content of proline—an amino acid used to synthesise
proteins, than the drought-resistant variety. The researchers believe this is
because the proline proteins assist in maintaining the stiffness of cell
membrane during water deficient periods, enabling the cell to carry on
functioning. As a result of drought, plants produce malondialdehyde (MDA), a
known marker of oxidative damage, a condition wherein due to chemical
imbalances, the plant is unable to detoxify itself of damaging elements.
Oxidative damage can eventually lead to cell death. A 1.5 fold reduction in MDA
content in Sahabhagidhan,
as compared to the drought sensitive variety, implies the former’s superior
resistance to drought.
“Improvement of drought tolerance
in rice is a challenging task due to the high complexity of the traits and poor
understanding of plant response against drought. Wide knowledge of various
attributes can achieve yield stability under most devastating drought stress.
Our study contributes more towards selectively breeding from the thousands of
cultivars available,” says Dr. Chugh when probed about the potential for
findings of the study. Marker-assisted selection (MAS), discussed in this
research, can help feed the millions by intelligently selecting plants with
desired traits.

Mumbai: The Congress in Maharashtra has demanded that the varieties
of rice that Vidarbha farmer Dadaji Khobragade developed be patented in his
name to consecrate his contribution and also prevent theft of intellectual
property rights.
Khobragade died on 3 June and on 13 June Congress president Rahul
Gandhi visited his native place Nanded in Chandrapur district of Vidarbha to
console the family. The Congress president’s visit to the Khobragade family was
a significant part of his farm and Dalit outreach in Maharashtra.
Maharashtra Congress president Ashok Chavan, who had accompanied
Gandhi, said at a press conference here on Thursday that the central and state
governments should address the demands made by the Khobragade family to honour
the innovative farmer who died in utter penury.
The Dalit farmer had developed as many as 8 varieties of rice, the
most famous among them being the HMT rice variety. He developed most of these
varieties in the 1980s in his marginal 1.5 acre farm.
Since Khobragade did not patent his varieties, the Nagpur-based
Punjabrao Deshmukh Krushi Vidyapeeth (PKV Agriculture University) had released
the HMT variety as PNB HMT following which Khobragade fought a long but
unsuccessful legal battle to claim ownership of the HMT rice. His struggle and
claim got somewhat acknowledged in 2005 and 2006 when he won the National
Innovation Foundation’s award for original innovation and Maharashtra
government’s Krushi Bhushan Puraskar, respectively.
Chavan said since Khobragade died as a poor farmer despite such a
voluminous contribution that had changed the lives of millions of rice farmers,
the Centre and Maharashtra government should now patent those varieties to
commemorate Khobragade’s work. Chavan said the family made this and some other
demands during their meeting with Rahul Gandhi.
The Maharashtra Congress president also demanded that rice
research centre be set up over 100 acres at Khobragade’s native village and a
Dadasaheb Khobragade Krushi Bhushan Puraskar be instituted to encourage

Why lentils
may be the next big superfood

Scientists have discovered some surprisingly awesome
side-effects to eating lentils.
When you think of the word 'superfood,' I bet lentils are one
thing that do not come to mind right away. Some interesting new science from the
University of Guelph, however, could skyrocket this humble little legume to the
status of dietary darling. Lentils are astoundingly effective at lowering blood
glucose levels, researchers have discovered. When carbohydrates such as rice
and potatoes are swapped out for lentils, it can lower blood glucose by up to
35 percent.
In the study, which is the first of its kind, 24 adult
participants were given four dishes to eat -- one with plain rice, half white
rice and half large green lentils, half white rice and small green lentils, and
half white rice with small red lentils. Researchers measured blood glucose
levels prior to eating and two hours after. The process was repeated with two
more dishes -- white potatoes alone and half white potatoes with lentils.
Study author Allison Duncan, professor at the Department of
Human Health and Nutrition, said,
"We mixed the lentils in with the potatoes and rice because
people don't typically eat pulses on their own, but rather consume them in
combination with other starches as part of a larger meal, so we wanted the
results to reflect that."
The rice-and-lentil combinations saw in a 20 percent drop in
blood glucose levels, while replacing potatoes with lentils led to a 35 percent
decrease. This is a valuable discovery because it could help many people who
struggle with chronic diseases that are associated with mismanaged glucose
levels, not to mention improving the overall health of the general population.
"Pulses, such as lentils, can slow digestion and the
release of sugars found in starch into the bloodstream, ultimately reducing
blood glucose levels, said Duncan. "This slower absorption means you don't
experience a spike in glucose. Having high levels over a period of time can
lead to mismanagement of blood glucose, which is the hallmark of Type 2
diabetes. Essentially, eating lentils can lower that risk."
The University of Guelph is located in Canada, which grows 65
percent of the world's lentils, the vast majority of which come from the
province of Saskatchewan. Despite this, only 13 percent of Canadians eat
lentils on any given day; unfortunately they are far from being the dietary
staple here that they are in India and the Middle East.
The researchers hope that this study will boost culinary
interest in lentils, and that Health Canada will pay attention: "We are
hoping that building evidence for approval of a health claim for pulses will
further encourage people to add pulses to their side dishes."

Bhutan joins Seeds Without
Borders
Bhutan
can now import improved variety seeds without much hassle from six countries in
the region.
The
country joined the Seeds Without Borders protocol with the agriculture
secretary Rinzin Dorji formally signing the agreement on June 13 in Thimphu.
Bangladesh,
Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are the other members of the
network agreement.
The
agreement initiated by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) was first
signed between Bangladesh, and India in 2013. The agreement started with rice
seeds. The seed agreement covers a number of rice-based crops such as maize,
wheat, vegetables, pulses and other crops with the possibility to include many
more in future.
Agriculture
director Kinlay Tshering said that the seed sharing agreement offers a unique
opportunity to exchange high yielding varieties.
“Countries
with limited resources and technical capacity to develop varieties, like
Bhutan, will benefit the most by accessing seeds from similar agro-ecological
conditions from partner countries,” Kinlay Tshering said.
Agriculture
officials said breeding and development takes time and it’s a continuous
process to keep pace with the breeding techniques in the situation of evolving
biotic and abiotic stresses as well as emerging needs of various stakeholders.
“The
agreement includes both inbreed and hybrid varieties,” she said.
She
said that in an increasingly restrictive regime of accessing crop germplasm due
to intellectual property rights related concerns, the agreement is a rare
opportunity for like-minded countries to share commercial crop varieties to
enhance crop production and food and nutrition security.
The
vision is to ultimately have countries freely share their improved crop
varieties of seeds with each other for the benefit of farmers, producers and
consumers, especially the disadvantaged population.
“We’ll
take advantage of the agreement for the advancement of the agriculture sector,
and food and nutrition security,” director Kinlay Tshering said.
The
representative from IRRI country office in Bangladesh, Humnath Bhandari signed
the agreement as a witness.
The
Bhutan-IRRI relationship began in early 1980s with the project on rice farming
system.
The
IRRI shuttle-breeding programme helped to bring different rice germplasms from
IRRI Philippines and tested, developed and released some varieties of seed in
Bhutan.
“Bhutan
can bring suitable seeds from other countries, test and release them here which
will save time, and energy resources,” he said.
Rice
specialist with agriculture research centre in Bajo, Mahesh Ghimerey said that
this agreement does not mean that other countries would take endemic Bhutanese
varieties and commercialise.
“Within
this agreement, there are protocols on how the seeds can be shared and what
member countries cannot do,” he said.
The
agreement will not cover movement of seeds of genetically modified varieties.
Any
pertaining Intellectual Property Rights issues will be discussed through
consultations and mutual agreements.
The
member country, in case of unforeseen circumstances, reserves that right to
withdraw with mutual consent.
