Rice millers
bring paddy from other states: INLD
CHANDIGARH: Alleging that the paddy procurement scam in Haryana was worth Rs 24,000 crore, opposition Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) on Wednesday said it would file a public interest litigation before Punjab and Haryana high court demanding a probe by a sitting judge or a special investigation team (SIT).Leader of opposition and senior INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala claimed that his party workers had caught three trucks bringing paddy to Haryana from other states in Ambala late night on Tuesday.
In a press conference called at
his residence in Chandigarh on Wednesday, Chautala also released a CD
containing video recording of the incident where a truck driver said he made
several rounds to transport paddy from other states for rice millers in
Haryana. The bags containing paddy were bearing marks of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh,
Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, he said. Chautala alleged
that the paddy was being brought into Haryana under the patronage of ruling BJP
leaders, who were conniving with local businessmen to make profits. He also
added such paddy was being illegally transported to Haryana by rice millers to
complete their stocks.

UPDATE 1-Thailand draws nearer to China with
rail, rice and rubber deals
* China, Thailand to build 900km
rail line
* China to also buy rice, rubber
from Thailand
* Deals show China's support for
Thai military govt (Updates with COFCO statement)
By Pairat Temphairojana
BANGKOK, Dec 3 China and Thailand
agreed to build an ambitious 900 km (559 mile) railway line on Thursday in the
latest sign of closer ties between them after Bangkok's links with Washington
have cooled.
The two countries agreed in a
memorandum of understanding to build a long-mooted railway from the Thai-Lao
border to Bangkok, said Thailand's transport minister.
China has ambitious
infrastructure plans for the region to build rail links from Kunming in its
southwest through Laos to Thailand.
China also agreed to buy rice and
rubber from Thailand at the meeting in Bangkok, said the Thai commerce
ministry.
"We want this project to
take shape soonest, especially in terms of construction and we are trying to
speed up construction by middle of next year," Transport Minister Arkhom
Termpittayapaisith told reporters.
China has said it is supportive
of Thailand's military rulers who took power following a May 2014 coup that
ousted an elected government.
Since then, Thailand's generals
have sought to counterbalance ties with Washington and launched a charm
offensive toward China.
Thailand is one of Washington's
oldest partners in the region but following the coup, Washington downgraded
diplomatic and military ties.
The agreements signed between
China and Thailand could help boost the sluggish growth rate of Southeast
Asia's second-largest economy.
Construction of the railway was
previously expected to begin in September. Arkhom said the design of the
railway had delayed the start of construction.
The two countries did not agree
on a price for the rail project at the meeting, he said.
China has offered to finance the
project with a loan with 2.5 percent interest but Thailand wants 2 percent.
China agreed to buy 1 million
tonnes of white and jasmine rice and 200,000 tonnes of rubber from Thailand.
State-owned Chinese grains trader
COFCO Corp said in a statement on its website late Thursday that it had signed
a framework contract to import 1 million tonnes of Thai rice.
It said the company would start
negotiations as soon as possible on batch contracts, while working to expand
the domestic market for Thai rice.
With plentiful harvests in recent
years, China does not need to import rice but import deals have been signed to
support Sino-Thai friendship and economic cooperation and could also help meet
Chinese consumer demand for more diverse products, COFCO said in the statement.

Rabi sowing crosses 370 lakh ha,
but still lower than last year
OUR BUREAU
NEW
DELHI, DECEMBER 4:
Sowing of Rabi crop continued to be lower than last year, with
preliminary reports from the States placing the total area sown at 370.28 lakh
hectares (lh), as on December 4, against 438.77 lh in the same period last
year. Sowing/transplanting of wheat was done in only 152.56 lh compared with
208.64 lh in the same period last year.
Weather woes
The shortfall in acreages was mainly on account of poor soil moisture levels due to a weak monsoon and delayed harvest of kharif crops such as rice and sugarcane in major producing States such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
The shortfall in acreages was mainly on account of poor soil moisture levels due to a weak monsoon and delayed harvest of kharif crops such as rice and sugarcane in major producing States such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
While States like Rajasthan have seen an increase in wheat
acreage, lower area has been reported from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,
Gujarat, Maharashtra and Haryana.
Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said on Thursday that
both rabi and kharif crops had been affected for the third straight season due
to the adverse weather conditions such as drought and floods.
Pulses were sown on 100.42 lh (106.93 lh) last year. Gram or
chana, the major rabi season pulses crop, has been sown on 69.25 lh, marginally
higher than corresponding last year’s 68.92 lh. Acreages of other pulses such
as lentil, fieldpea and urad have been lower than last year.
Coarse cereals have been sown marginally higher on 46.71 lh
(43.04 lh) with jowar accounting for a significant chunk of it. Jowar has been
planted on 34.09 lh compared to 27.78 lh in the corresponding period last year.
Sowing/transplantation of rice stood at 8.70 lh compared with
11.15 lh in the same period last year.
The area sown under oilseeds was lower at 61.89 lh against 69.01
lh last year. Acreages under rapeseed-mustard continued to be lower at 54.17 lh
(60.91 lh). The slower pace of sowing has triggered concerns among the edible
oil industry.
“Poor storage and moisture levels have impacted the plantings.
Though sowing will go on for a couple of more, we expect the overall acreages
to be lower than last year thereby impacting the output. It is too early to
quantify the impact,” said BV Mehta, Executive Director, Solvent Extractors
Association of India.
More imports feared
Mehta said a lower output would trigger further increase in imports of edible oil. Staring at a higher import prospect, the SEA has urged the government to allow imports of oilseeds, which would not only benefit the extraction industry but also the feed makers.

Price of rice shoots up by 12%
Price of imported rice has increased by 12%.
Currently, a 5kg bag of rice is being sold for GHc28.As at the last week of
November, the price of the same quantity of (imported-uncle sam) rice was sold
at GHc25.The increase places rice as the highest gainer in commodities in the
country at the beginning of December 2015.According to Esoko Ghana, the
increase is expected because of the yuletide.Francis Danso Adjei, Content
Manager at Esoko Ghana noted that “in the case of rice, the price is determined
by the volumes that go into the market. The increase means that the quantity
going to the market is quite low and that people have started buying rice, so
demand outweighs the supply in the market.”
The increase in the price of rice was followed
by Maize which made a 2 percent gain to close the week at GHc 4.00 per
olunka.Yam (Pona) also followed with a percentage gain to close the week at GHc
3.60Soya bean dropped by 7 percent to close the week at GHc 5.90 per olunka.
However, according to Esoko Ghana, the firm monitoring
the markets, cassava (fresh tubers) and groundnut dropped by 2 percent each to
close the week at GHc 4.50 and 12 .70 per “3-4 tubers” and “olunka”
respectively. The other commodity prices remained the same.On the various
markets, the price for an “olunka” of maize gained by 20 percent in Bawku to
close the week at GHc 3.00, it also gained a percentage point in Techiman to
close the week at GHc 3.00 and dropped by 2 percent in Kumasi to close the week
at GHc 5.00.
Tamale
In Tamale it gained a percentage point to close
the week at GHc 4.00, whiles in the other markets the price remained the same.A
“medium size tomato tin” full of fresh tomatoes lost 13 percent in Accra to
close the week at GHc 18.00 with Techiman losing 13 percent to close at GHc
10.10 and also Dambai dropping 19 percent to close at GHc 7.20.
Kumasi
The commodity however made some gains in
Kumasi, Tamale and Takoradi.
In Kumasi, it gained 5 percent to close at GHC
9.50 and in Tamale by 22 percent to close the week at GHC 6.60.
Takoradi
Takoradi had 20 percent to close the week at
GHC 21.60. In the other markets prices remained the same.

Japan, Vietnam develop new rice resistant to disease, bugs
Vietnamese and Japanese researchers have completed an
international project to develop a new rice variety that is disease- and
insect-resistant with a high-yield, short-growth duration.
The rice variety was developed by using certain genes and the most
advanced molecular bio-technology.The project, called the "Development of
Crop Genotypes for the Midlands and Mountain Areas of North Vietnam" was
implemented from December 2010 to November this year.Financed by the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the project was carried out by Vietnam
National University of Agriculture (VNUA), Kyushu University and Nagoya
University of Japan.Dr. Pham Van Cuong, Vice President of VNUA, said:
"Plant breeding in Vietnam has for years not been based on rigorous
science. It has had a lack of scientific proof. But with the new technology
transferred by Japan, we can make long-selling products with authentic proof
based on science, and we can guarantee stable production and profit for
producers."The improved rice line has been well received because of its
short-growth duration as it can help farmers avoid the flood season, minimise
damages caused by annual typhoons and lead to more diverse cash crops during
the winter crop season.More than 50 promising rice lines, which have been
genetically guaranteed to have good performances, have been developed.The
ecological adaptability of the selected lines was proven in Thai Nguyen and Lao
Cai provinces. The rice varieties showed adaptability to not only the northern
mountainous region but also to other environments in Vietnam.The enthusiastic investment
by the provincial government and Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development of Nghe An (DARD Nghe An) has led to sustainable production of such
improved lines and provided a prototype for other provinces in the country for
development from promising rice lines from VNUA.The technology, which can be
applied to other crops such as soybeans, sorghum and maize as well as
vegetables, helps to improve the quality of agricultural products.
La Niña next to put pressure on consumer
prices
By: Ben O. de Vera
@BenArnolddeVera
Philippine Daily Inquirer
01:19 AM December 5th, 2015
Extreme weather conditions are posing threats to inflation, the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) said.To temper the increase in food prices and utility rates, Neda is enjoining the government to fast-track the implementation of its roadmap for El Niño while also preparing for a potentially “strong” La Niña next year, Neda Deputy Director General Rolando G. Tungpalan said in a statement on Friday.“The government should err on the high side in determining food import requirements in anticipation of El Niño to avoid food price spikes, which would be very detrimental to the poor who spend over 60 percent of their budget on food,” Tungpalan said.
The plan to increase the
importation of food staples, such as rice, forms part of the proposed Roadmap
to Address the Impact of El Niño (Rain), which is aimed at mitigating the dry
spell’s impact on food supply and prices while providing assistance to farmers
and households in adversely affected areas.Neda Director General and Economic
Planning Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan earlier said the government may have to
import an additional 1.3 million metric tons of rice in addition to the 500,000
metric tons already ordered for the first half of next year. But the Neda chief
said they could still scale down their recommendation since “rice production in
this quarter and the first semester of next year are likely going to be more
favorable than we expected.”“We will still import [more rice] because …
production is still expected to be lower than normal, and I think that would
keep the total stock to just 67 days. We need to keep stock that could last for
90 days,” Balisacan had said.On Friday, the government reported inflation had
already bottomed out this year, rising to 1.1 percent in November from a record
low of 0.4 percent in the previous couple of months.“Higher local demand and
the lingering effects of typhoon ‘Lando’ accounted for the price increases in
meat and vegetables, while ample supply sustained the lower price of rice,”
Tungpalan said.The rise in headline inflation last month lifted the
year-to-date figure to 1.4 percent, which remained below the government’s 2015
target of 2-4 percent.“Despite the uptick in November, average inflation will
likely settle below the low-end target for the year. This will largely be
influenced by the slump in global petroleum prices, along with other favorable
supply-side factors such as the sluggish domestic retail prices of corn, oil
and rice,” Tungpalan said.Besides food inflation, the government should also
address risks to electricity prices, as Tungpalan noted an “unstable energy
situation in Mindanao, given its large dependence on hydropower plants.”As La
Niña is expected to immediately follow El Niño by the middle of next year, the
government should likewise be ready to address the risks posed by a prolonged
rainy season, the Neda official said.“The current drier than normal conditions
must be taken advantage of to build flood mitigation infrastructures,” he said.
USISAME
urges FPCCI to resolve issues of basmati rice
December 03, 2015
KARACHI: The Union of Small and
Medium Enterprises (UNISAME) has urged the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) to highlight the issues of basmati rice trademark
and geographical indications (GI) besides other issues of decline in exports of
basmati rice.UNISAME wants FPCCI's Standing Committee on Rice to highlight
these issues in its meeting on 10th December 2015. It also recommends remedial
measures to strengthen the cases in the forum.
UNISAME President Zulfikar Thaver requested FPCCI Standing
Committee on Rice Chairman Rafique Suleman to address the issues of basmati
rice trademark and GI in the meeting.
He said both the matters are under litigation and need careful
and strong advocacy and that the meeting needs to look into the matter and
examine the cases submitted by the counsels.As far as basmati rice ownership is
concerned, he said that India and Pakistan are the only producers of basmati
rice in the whole world and no other country grows basmati, which is aromatic,
elongates on cooking and has distinctive features."Thailand has jasmine
rice, which is aromatic but does not have qualify of basmati rice as it lacks
certain characteristics and features," he added.
Unfortunately, a firm from a non-basmati growing country has
claimed ownership of the basmati trademark, which is challenged by India and
Pakistan in the international forum, he said."The matter of GI is also
under litigation in the Indian courts and Pakistan needs to include Sialkot and
Narowal areas eligible and qualified to be called basmati on merit under the
GI, the UNISAME president said. "The GI indicates that only basmati rice
cultivated at the foot of the Himaliya mountains is basmati and all other rice
grown elsewhere cannot be labelled as basmati because it is devoid of the
features and characteristics of the variety." The question of basmati rice
grown in other areas with basmati seeds and resultant produce of matching
variety also needs to be examined thoroughly, he said.
The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), the Basmati
Growers Association of Pakistan (BGA) and the Rice Exporters Association of
Pakistan (REAP) and the FPCCI need to work jointly for the cause without
putting the entire burden on one of the organisation and collectively work for
the national cause, he added.

Filipino rice farmers lack gov’t support’
Vice President Jejomar C. Binay yesterday vowed more assistance
to Filipino rice farmers under his presidency.Binay criticized the government
for extending “very little support to our rice farmers” despite the fact that
Filipinos consider the grain as a staple food.“It is crucial that we give our
farmers the assistance they need to improve their harvest and make farming
profitable,” he said during a visit to the International Rice Research
Institute in Los Banos, Laguna.The United Nationalist Alliance standard-bearer
cited a PhilRice study that said Filipino rice farmers are getting relatively
low government support compared to their peers in Asia.“While China offers free
inbred seeds to farmers and free hybrid seeds to cooperative members, our
government gives zero subsidies for seeds or fertilizers,” he noted.Binay said
a 50-kilogram bag of fertilizer costs around P1,188. Rice farmers use around
four bags per hectare, spending almost P5,000 on fertilizer alone.“Because of
such steep price, our farmers are forced to scrimp on fertilizers and this, in
turn, affects their yield,” he explained. (Ellson A. Quismorio)

RICE
MILLERS CRY FOUL AGAINST INLD, CONGRESS
1
Haryana rice millers on Thursday came out strongly against the
Opposition INLD for keeping a vigil on the transportation of paddy in the
State. Refuting the allegations of bringing paddy from other States to complete
their stocks, the rice millers on Thursday said that they are being made a
scapegoat of the political clash between the Government and the
Opposition.Raising a dissent against the seizure of three trucks in Ambala a
day before, rice millers said that the trucks were carrying legally purchased paddy,
which was being brought to mills for trading purpose.
Though the millers could not satisfy media with their answers,
when they were asked about the need to bring paddy from other States when the
procurement process has just concluded in the State, they claimed that it was a
regular practice for millers to buy paddy from other States.Addressing a Press
conference in Chandigarh, President of association Satpal Gupta said that the
INLD workers have been trying to illegally disturb the trade of the rice
millers. He said that they are taking up this issue with the government also
and INLD workers have not right to block the trading practices of
millers.Pointing a finger on both the Opposition parties in Haryana INLD and
Congress, he said that the Opposition is training their guns on millers’
shoulders to achieve their political objects.
On Wednesday, INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala had claimed that
his workers had caught three trucks carrying with paddy brought from other
States. Chautala had claimed that millers were bringing cheap paddy to fill up
their stocks for the physical verification. Chautala had claimed that the paddy
in these trucks did not have valid documents of trading.The issue of Paddy
purchase scam had created much uproar in the recently concluded Winter Session
of Haryana assembly. Both the Opposition parties, Congress and INLD had raised
the issue vociferously, claiming it to be a scam of over 10 thousand crores.
Both the parties are alleging that Government allotted PB 1509 variety to the
millers in the A-grade variety to give them financial advantage.The Opposition
has also alleged that Government agencies have also shown fake purchase of
paddy to the tune of more that 11 thousand MT. Both the parties had staged walk
outs demanded probe by a sitting High Court judge or SIT on the issue. While
not convinced with the allegations, Haryana Government has marked physical
verification of stocks in the mills.

grain out in the sun, in Prachin Buri province. (Photo by Panupong Changchai)
The
global price of Hom Mali fragrant rice has dropped to the lowest in six years
as growers sell their grain direct to millers-cum-exporters instead of joining
a state-run bank's scheme to increase rice prices.Chookiat Ophaswongse, honorary
president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, said Hom Mali rice was now at
US$720-730 per tonne, compared with its previous peak of $1,200 per tonne and
$810-820 per tonne for Cambodian fragrant rice, Post Today reported on
Friday.The millers, who were also exporters, were buying Hom Mali paddy from
farmers at 9,500 baht ($265) per tonne compared with the government's targeted
price of 13,500 baht ($377) per tonne, he said.One reason was the high yield
from Hom Mali rice, Mr Chukiat said. He expected the global price had bottomed
out because orders should increase in mid-December to meet demand during the
Chinese New Year festival early next year.A source in the rice trade said
another reason for the low Hom Mali price was that farmers were not participating
in the government's scheme to pledge their rice with the state-run Bank for
Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC).The scheme, set for
implementation in the fourth quarter of this year, is aimed at encouraging
farmers to delay selling their rice and wait for a higher price and the
development of direct markets for rice growers.Farmers feared the BAAC would
deduct money from their pledged grain to repay their debts with the bank, so
they were selling rice to millers instead, the source said.The falling price of
Hom Mali rice has affected the purchasing power of farmers in the North and the
Northeast, where most of the crop is grown. Hom Mali is sold overseas as Thai
Jasmine rice.

China signs rice, rubber deals
4 Dec
2015 at 05:30
China has signed rice and rubber purchase deals
with Thailand as part of the Thai-Sino railway development
agreement.Negotiations over the railway are continuing.The deals were signed at
the ninth meeting of the Joint Committee on Railway Cooperation in Bangkok on
Thursday.The meeting was led by Transport Minister Arkhom
Termpittayapaisith and Wang Xiaotao, the deputy secretary-general of
China's National Development and Reform Commission.The Commerce Ministry
signed a deal to sell one million tonnes of rice to the China
National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (Cofco), a Chinese
state-owned food conglomerate.The rice delivered will amount to about 100,000
tonnes a month, starting early next year, according to Commerce Minister
Apiradi Tantraporn.The Rubber Authority of Thailand, meanwhile, signed a deal
to sell 200,000 tonnes of rubber to Sinochem, a conglomerate representing the
Chinese government, she added.
The rubber deal was agreed upon despite earlier
reports the Thai government could put a brake on the rail project after hiccups
in the agreement concerning China's rubber purchase, which is included in the
package.A framework of cooperation on the rail development was also signed by
the two governments.The rail routes cover Nong Khai-Nakhon Ratchasima-Kaeng
Khoi and Bangkok-Kaeng Khoi-Map Ta Phut.Transport Minister Arkhom
Termpittayapaisith said Thailand had given China additional information about
the rail project, particularly the estimated number of passengers and
volume of cargo which can be transported on the routes.Mr Arkhom said
Thailand had worked out a work plan for the project to be carried out in
the next six months and presented it to their Chinese counterparts, who will
review it before giving their suggestions."The six-month plan was drawn up
as we want the project to materialise quickly, particularly the construction.
We will try to make it happen in the middle of next year," Mr Arkhom said.
He said the project value has not yet been
decided due to pending estimates by consultancy firms.The cost is expected to
be higher than the original estimate as another train station, Phachi, will be
added to the project, he said.Mr Arkhom said design work handled by China
on the Bangkok-Kaeng Khoi section and Nakhon Ratchasima-Kaeng Khoi
section is 80% complete and the work could be finished this month.The two
sections will also be built first, he said.Design work on the two other
sections -- Kaeng Khoi-Map Ta Phut and Nong Khai-Nakhon Ratchasima --
is 50% complete, and could be wrapped up by February.Thai and Chinese
representatives also inspected the Chiang Rak Noi train sation in
Ayutthaya, where an operations control centre under the Sino-Thai railway
development project will be built. The ground-breaking ceremony for the centre
will be held on Dec 19.
Meanwhile,
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha insisted the Thai-China railway project will
not be derailed as the cooperation inherent in the deal would also underline
the 40th year of diplomatic relations between the two
countries. "How long has our relationship lasted? We have to do
something symbolic for the 40th anniversary of the relationship between Thailand
and China," said Gen Prayut. He said negotiations on the project must
go on.

Rice Comment
Rice futures were lower across the board,
mainly on technical selling. January has lost over 70 cents this week. Today's
close was right on the 62% retracement level. A lower close would open more
downside potential for the market.
