Bumper rice
crop leads gov’t to up its purchase plan
Nov 18,2015
The government and ruling Saenuri Party are planning to purchase an
additional 150,000 tons of rice on top of 200,000 tons of rice they had earlier
agreed to buy. The plan comes amid growing worries over the largest harvest in
six years, which could lead to a stiff price drop. While a final figure for the second
phase of rice purchases will be made during a government-Saenuri Party meeting
next week, it was revealed that the party proposed the government make an
additional purchase of 150,000 tons for the sake of farmers. The measure is intended to prevent a
dramatic drop in rice price from the abundant crop of this year, which is
expected to hit 4.32 million tons, the highest in six years, according to
Statistics Korea.
“Rice production this year turned out to be larger than initially
expected, prompting the party to request another purchase of 150,000 tons of
rice by the government,” said a senior party official. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance
is now talking with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to finalize
the amount of rice to be bought and the scope of budget to be spent.” The
government and ruling party had earlier agreed to buy 200,000 tons of rice
during a meeting on Oct. 26 and indicated they would consider buying another
90,000 tons after reviewing forecasts for 2015 rice production to be released
by Statistics Korea days later.On Friday, Statistics Korea announced the year’s
crop was 4.32 million tons, 1.6 percent higher than an earlier projection at
4.25 million tons, prompting the governing party to push for an additional
purchase of 150,000 tons.
But while the two sides have agreed on the purchase of 350,000 tons
of rice in total, the opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD) is
calling for 400,000 tons of rice to be bought to prevent rice prices from
plummeting. During a
meeting with NPAD leader Moon Jae-in, Kim Young-ho, who heads the Korean
Peasants League, said an additional purchase of 200,000 tons ? not 150,000 tons
? was needed to keep the rice price from falling.
Moon agreed, noting the rice price continued to drop even after the
government announced its intention to purchase 200,000 tons in the first phase,
and pledged to help meet the farmers’ demand. While the government and politicians
agree on the need for the government to buy and store rice to keep the rice
price stable, the costs associated with storing government-purchased rice are
high. And the issue becomes more complicated when considering decreasing
consumption of rice in the country.
Last year, the average consumption of rice per Korean fell to 65
kilograms a year, down 20 percent from 81 kilograms in 2005. Over the nine
years, Korea has produced an average surplus of 720,000 tons of rice. During years of the so-called
Sunshine Policy by two liberal governments, which pursued engagement with North
Korea thorough business cooperation and aid, surplus rice production was sent
as aid to the Communist state. But with the
chill in inter-Korean relations over the past seven years under conservative
governments, rice donations stopped.As of August, the amount of rice in storage
was 1.37 million tons. It costs more than 500 billion won ($427.5 million) to
store rice every year. It costs 3.6 billion won of taxpayers money to store one
ton of rice a year.

N1trn Food Importation Unsustainable – PMB
—
Nov 18, 2015 4:42 am
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday declared that the N1 trillion
spent on importation of food is no longer sustainable as most of the food can
be produced locally .According to him, agriculture had always been the mainstay
of the nation’s economy but was abandoned following the discovery of oil.The
president, who stated this at the launching of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s
Anchor Borrowers’ Programme and the commencement of the dry season farming,
disclosed that the falling oil prices had left Nigeria with no other option but
to diversify.
The Anchor Borrower programme of the CBN is initiated to develop
rice production in the country with Kebbi State as starting point and model.
Buhari in Kebbi , provides a flat form for a tripartite collaboration between
rice farmers ,rice millers as up -takers and commercial banks.Under the
programme,CBN provide loans to the farmers which will be accessed through
commercial banks and rice processors such as LABANA ,UMZA , POPOLA foods will
mop up the entire farmer production.“The importance of agriculture in the
economy cannot be over emphasised. Prior to the advent of oil, our country
survived on agriculture production,” the president said.He said that
agricultural produce such as groundnuts, palm oil, cotton and rubber plantation
used to be the mainstay of the economy.
President Buhari recalled that during this period, the economy
of Nigeria was built on agricultural activities and the country’s gross
domestic product grew steady adding that banks and investment companies were
financed from farming surpluses.Buhari lamented that the discovery of oil was
expected to compliment the country’s agriculture productivity, however, this
was not so, as oil was allowed to completely replace it.
He said; Our current trend at the international oil market had
brought to fore the urgent need to diversify both the productive and revenue
based of our economy and to conserve our foregoing reserve by limiting our
appetite for importation of goods that we can easily produce locally,” .He
stressed that that the price of oil had plummeted in the international market
which has a negative effect on the nation’s economy putting government at all
levels at risk .President Buhari reiterated that economic diversification is no
longer an option for the country, it is the only way to economic momentum and
the drive to prosperity.

Rice Comment
Rice futures ended lower but
charted and inside day and didn't negate the positive chart signal seen
yesterday. January will have resistance near $12.50 on the rebound, though.
Global ending stocks for 15/16 were raised by 3 percent (2.7 million tons) due
to an increase in beginning stocks and a decrease in consumption in the
November report. The average long-grain price is projected down $1.30 from last
month to $11.50 to $12.50.

The biriyani masters of
Triplicane
As Triplicane
becomes the mecca for flavourful biryani, the writer meets the makers behind
the dish
Mohammed Meeran scoops a ladle of golden-orange biryani onto a
plate and hands it to a hungry customer, a light smile playing on his lips.
Another customer arrives on a bike; a couple of boys hop off from a bicycle.
Soon, a small crowd forms in front of his shop that also serves as his kitchen.
Meeran is the cook, the waiter and the owner of the hole-in-the-wall restaurant
on Dr. Besant Road in Triplicane. “It’s not easy being a biryani master,” he
tells us earlier in the day, as he stirs a 20 kg pot of basmati rice simmering
in a deep-red concoction of spices and meat.
“It took me several years
of waiting and observing to become one.”So, who is a biryani master? “Someone
who’s adept at making biryani, of course,” says Askar Hassain, chuckling. Can
anyone become a master? “No,” he says. “That’s where the trick lies. A master
may have five helper boys hovering about, chopping vegetables and doing odd
jobs. But just one or two amongst them gets to become a biryani master
himself,” he explains. “You need to have it in you. Kai pakkuvam, as they say. The master will take notice of the helper who’s
most observant and gifted and will take him under his wing.”Askar has been a
master for over 20 years. The 62-year-old came to Chennai in his twenties to
work in a transport company. “I stayed at a rented house in Royapettah then.
The ground floor was let out to a biryani master. I would observe them at work
every day. Soon, I joined the team as a helper to peel onions and cut
tomatoes.”
A biryani master is highly respected. “The job pays you more
than a bank or an IT company,” says S. Shama, who owns four biryani outlets in Triplicane.
“The senior masters make up to Rs. 1,200 a day, working less than five hours.”
A day’s wage starts at Rs. 750. The more experienced the master, the better he
is paid.It’s not easy to make that perfect biryani, that too in mammoth
quantities. “The stage when the par-boiled rice is added to the spice and meat
masala is crucial. The master has to function with utmost precision and speed,
or else the entire batch will go waste,” explains Shama. It takes years to get
this right.“And plenty of patience and a thick skin,” according to Meeran.
“When you’re a helper, you’re at the master’s command. You do as he asks,” he
says. “Not every master is open to sharing his trade secrets. Until he decides
you’re worthy enough to absorb all that he learned over several decades, it’s a
difficult life. You just chop this vegetable or clean that dish with no idea of
what you’re doing.”
The more experienced of masters graduate as wedding cooks. They
hire a team and a room of their own and are busy throughout the year. Tippu
Street, Begum Street, Mohammed Hussain Street… every narrow by-lane off Dr.
Besant Road is said to house at least five biryani masters. Biryani is the
lifeblood of this locality: the soot-smeared aluminium troughs and gigantic
ladles employed for the purpose peek from every odd corner; walk by the stretch
at noon and you are assaulted by the sweet smell of ginger and garlic frying in
oil and the clang of metal against metal as the pots are hauled from their
resting places and placed over the stove.
“The area has a 1000-people-strong biryani ecosystem,” says
Lookman Ali, who owns two restaurants on Triplicane High Road. “Every person
you bump into will have something to do with biryani.” Shama says that in the
last six months, 18 new biryani outlets have cropped up along the road. “The
story goes that you can never run into losses if you enter the food business in
Triplicane,” he adds. “In the next five years, this road will be similar to the
cramped Ritchie Street; only every shop here will be food-related.”
There are some biryani masters whose names are uttered with the
‘bai’ prefix out of respect. Dhinu Bai, Razaaq Bai, Noor Bai… These are the
best masters of all time, who trained several young men over the years. Can we
meet them? “Of course not,” Shama laughs. “You can’t catch hold of them that
easily. No one can say where they’ll be now. But you can be sure of one thing —
they’re making biryani somewhere.”

Dialogue on Growth' at the 2015 APEC CEO Summit in Manila, Wednesday, November
18.Kalla said the government will empower a state-owned company engaged in
agribusiness, PT Sang Hyang Seri, to continue with its research and development
on hybrid rice seed production.
Through the development of hybrid rice seeds, Kalla said the
government could reduce imports next year."We hope things will improve by
next year so that we wouldn't have to import," the VP said.Kalla admitted
that Indonesia has not been able to be self-sufficient when it comes to food;
resorting to rice imports from neighboring countries to maintain supply and
economic stability.In Indonesia, the size of agricultural land is decreasing as
they have switched functions as housing areas for its 250-million population.

Governor Wants to Keep Imported Rice Out from Central Java
WEDNESDAY, 18 NOVEMBER, 2015 | 22:28
WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Central Java's Governor Ganjar
Pranowo said that he will not allow imported rice to enter the borders of
Central Java, out of fear that it will drive local farmers to suffer losses.
"I can respect the central government for having has a different reasoning
behind its' decision. I don't agree with rice imports, so it should not be
traded here," said Pranowo during a working visit in Klaten regency on
Wednesday, November 18, 2015. 
Pranowo said that rice imports could cause rice prices to drop in
the local market, especially when the 'floodgates' are completely opened. The
governor also said that rice stocks in Central Java is enough to meet all of
its' residents needs until April 2016."We have a surplus of some three
million tons of rice - this is enough to last well into April 2016," said
Pranowo, who said that he has instructed the Food Security Agency to do
whatever it can to prevent imported rice from entering the province.
Previously, the Head of Central Java's Food Security Agency,
Whitono, had said that Central Java's rice stocks is enough to meet the needs
of its' residents until the end of 2015 - surpassing initial predictions driven
by good harvest yields towards the end of 2015."We managed to produce some
10.6 million tonnes of rice - a 10.8 percent increase compared to 2014,"
said Whitono. "As such, we do not need imports. as we have at least 1
million tonnes of rice in reserve.""Central Java residents use around
250,000 tonnes per month - so we are safe for at least four months from now,"
Whitono concluded.

Buhari: Rice importation no longer sustainable
November
17 21:46 2015 by Taiwo George 0 Comments Advertisement President Muhammadu
Buhari on Tuesday said Nigeria can no longer sustain the importation of rice
and other food items that can be locally produced. Speaking in Kebbi state at
launch of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Anchor Borrowers’ project, Buhari said
his government remained committed to developing agriculture. He highlighted the
role which agriculture played in the economy before the discovery of oil,
saying the sharp decline in the price of oil has left Nigeria with no other
option but to “diversify” its economy. “The importance of agriculture in the
economy cannot be over emphasised,” he said. 
“Prior to the advent of oil, our country survived on
agricultural production with huge economic potentials from our palm oil,
groundnut, cotton, and rubber plantations. During this period, the economies of
our sub region were built on agricultural activities and our gross domestic
product grew steadily. Our first generation state-sponsored banks and
investment companies were financed with incomes from farming surpluses.
“The discovery of oil was expected to complement our
agricultural productivity but we allowed oil to almost completely replace it.
Current trends in the international oil market has brought to fore the urgent
need to diversify both the productive and revenue base of our economy and
conserve our foreign reserve by limiting our appetite for importation of goods
that we can easily produce locally. “The international price of oil has
plummeted from a peak of $116 per barrel in June 2014 to as low as $46 per
barrel in early 2015.
“This means
there are limited resources available to government at all levels and hence
economic diversification is no longer an option for us as a nation. It is the
only way to reclaim economic momentum and drive to prosperity. One way to do
this is to go back to the land and develop our agricultural production. “The
anchor borrowers’ programme has been designed as a one-stop solution for the
agriculture value chain by creating economic linkages between farmers and
processors to not only ensure increased agricultural output but also importantly,
to reduce on dependence on imported foods.
“I am not surprised at the choice of rice for the
programme’s pilot because rice has assumed the status of a major staple food in
Nigeria. Despite the increasing importance of rice in Nigeria’s households, we
still import a majority of our needs for rice. “In 2014 for example, the total
demand for milled rice in Nigeria was estimated to be about 6.1 million metric
tonnes, of which 2.6 million metric tonnes was produced locally while the rest
was imported. Equally, the demand for wheat in Nigeria is now about 5 million
metric tonnes, a significant amount of which can be produced locally.
“These statistics are disturbing because Nigeria has
one of the best climatic and land resources to support the production and even
exportation of a wide range of crops including rice and wheat. With reports
showing steady increase in local wheat production, I am fully convinced that
this nation can produce all it requires to feed our people. “The nation is
blessed with several varieties of rice that can be explored to optimum
potential.”
