India may export 10 LT rice
to Indonesia, valued at Rs 3,300 cr
As per the second advance estimate of the Agriculture Ministry,
rice production is estimated to be down marginally at 103.61 million tonnes
(MT) in 2015-16 crop year (July-June), as against 105.48 MT last year. | 1
Comments India is in talks with Indonesia to export 10 lakh tonnes of rice
valued at Rs 3,300 crore as the island nation is expecting fall in
production. "Indonesia is expecting a fall in rice production this
year and looking to import rice. Indonesia has started the negotiation
process," a source told PTI. Rice is a staple food of Indonesia and it
had imported rice last year as well.

"Though no final decision has yet been taken over the price, but
the economic cost to the government for the 10 lakh tonnes rice is about Rs
3,300 crore," the source said. As far as India is concerned, the
government is in a comfortable position regarding rice stock. The country has
more than 160 lakh tonnes of rice in stock against the requirement of 76 lakh
tonnes on January 1. Besides, the Food Corporation of India (FCI) has another
127 lakh tonnes of rice in form of paddy. As per the second advance estimate of
the Agriculture Ministry, rice production is estimated to be down marginally at
103.61 million tonnes (MT) in 2015-16 crop year (July-June), as against 105.48
MT last year. Already, the procurement of kharif rice has reached 26.13 MT so
far this year, much higher than 21.54 MT in the year-ago period. The Centre's
nodal procurement agency Food Corporation of India (FCI) and state
government-owned agencies undertake procurement operations. The Centre has kept
a rice procurement target of 30 MT for the this year.

Thailand sells 152,377 T of rice
in first auction of the year
Tue Feb 16, 2016 9:51am GMT
BANGKOK Feb 16 (Reuters) - Thailand's military government sold 152,377
tonnes of rice from state stockpiles in its first auction of the year, the
commerce ministry said on Tuesday.The ministry had said on Feb. 1 that it aimed
to sell 570,000 tonnes of rice for human consumption and industrial use. .Bids
of 15 private companies were successful in the auction of the rice which comes
from 35 state warehouses.Rice worth 1.78 billion baht ($50 million) was sold on
Tuesday in the first of two planned auctions, the ministry said. It had planned
to sell 204,000 tonnes in the first lot.
The ministry said the sale would have to be approved by Thailand's
rice management committee but did not provide a time frame.The second lot, for
which the ministry will start receiving offers on Wednesday, will have 360,000
tonnes of grade c rice for industrial use.Thailand, the world's second biggest
rice exporter after India, has about 13 million tonnes of rice in storage, the
consequence of a scheme by the previous administration which bought rice at
higher-than-market prices.The scheme was popular with farmers but cost the
government billions of baht.
Since taking power in 2014, Thailand's military government has
auctioned off 5 million tonnes of rice through several tenders, with sales
worth about $1.5 billion.It has said some of the rice in storage is unfit for
human and animal consumption and would be used in the industrial sector,
including for ethanol production.The government plans to clear the stocks in
the warehouses by the end of 2017.

Maguindanao farmers dodge dry spell with new rice variety
February 16, 2016
Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao – Not all farmers
in Maguindanao have been adversely affected by the El Niño phenomenon and that
the crops they have planted have actually flourished despite the prolonged dry
spell, officials said Monday.And thanks to heat resistant crop varieties that
the government had provided them, these fortunate farmers can still continue to
turn a profit when all other farmers in Maguindanao could barely eke out a
living.
Farmlands in Barangay Bugawas here were
included in special project at a pilot area designated by the Department of
Agriculture and Fisheries in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(DAF-ARMM), through the ARMM integrated cultural center (ARMMIARC), that helped
the farmers cushion the impact of dry spell through a modern farming technique.
According to Saudi Mangindra, DAR-ARMMIARC
research coordinator, farmers in Barangay Bugawas were recipients of a climate
change resistant rice variety that could withstand during dry spell and even
floods.”(The rice variety) was a product of ARMMIARC, Philippine Rice Institute
(Philrice) and International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).Halid Daud, farmer
leader in Barangay Bugawas was one of the lucky few who received samples of the
drought-resistent seedlings and told reporters that it was the first time that
they still earned despite the massive dry spell.“In fact, our palay production
has tripled as compared to the previous cropping season,” Daud said.(PNA)

INDIAN RICE MAY INUNDATE INDONESIA THIS YEAR
India is likely to export 10 lakh
tonnes of rice to Indonesia which is valued at Rs 3300 crore, this year.
The country has a surplus of 160
lakh tonnes of rice stocks against the required 76 lakh tonnes as figures show
on January 1
India is likely to export 10 lakh
tonnes of rice to Indonesia which is valued at Rs 3300 crore, this year. Though
this may come as a surprise to many, the Indian government has clarified that
it is in a comfortable position to extend the rice deal to Indonesia. The
country has a surplus of 160 lakh tonnes of rice stocks against the required 76
lakh tonnes as figures show on January 1. Added to this The Food Corporation of
India has another 127 lakh tonnes of paddy stocks.The details of price and
quantity are yet to be worked out. These are currently under negotiation, a
source in the Commerce Ministry revealed. “Although the MoU will be a
non-binding one, it would at least give us an indication of the business that
we might do with Indonesia,” the official said. India is hopeful that the MoU
would be inked for an extended period similar to the one it signed with
Pakistan.
Indonesia is struggling with a
temporary shortage of rice as a result of last year’s prolonged El Nino
effects, which resulted in the postponement of rice being planted in the
country. Though Jakarta is optimistic that its domestic production shall
increase again by April, it has been looking for new import sources to bridge
the current shortfall and to stall price hikes.
IRAQ
ISSUES TENDER TO BUY AT LEAST 90,000 TONNES RICE FROM US-TRADE

China rice import stalemate over
biosecurity protocols
The
Weekly Times
THE peak
body for rice growers has called for biosecurity protocols with China to be
signed, to give Australian growers access to the lucrative market.Ricegrowers
Association of Australia executive director Andrew Bomm said a lack of
biosecurity protocols meant exporting rice to China was at a stalemate.Biosecurity
protocols are agreements between two countries that outline the phytosanitary
requirements of the goods being exported and includes a list of banned pest,
weed and chemicals.China is yet to respond to a submission from Australia regarding
the protocols.“We cannot get access to China because there is no biosecurity
protocol for imports,” Mr Bomm said.“Theoretically the holdup is with getting
paperwork organised, but the decision is political.”
He said
the importation of rice was a sensitive issue for all Asian countries because
there was an important cultural aspect to rice growing.“Governments are
concerned that if their growers are not competitive then there’s social
implications and political implications to that.
“But we
would be exporting only tens of thousands of tonnes and they grow millions of
tonnes of rice.”Mr Bomm said Ricegrowers would continue discussing the issue
with the government and work with Chinese customers to create demand for Australian
rice.Another frustration for the rice industry is that protocols for other
significant export grains — wheat and barley — were finalised in April last
year, while canola and sorghum protocols are under development.
Grain
Trade Australia chief executive Geoff Honey said companies that exported grain
to China were required to adhere to the industry management practice, which
draws heavily on the Australian grain industry code of practice developed by
GTA.“We are the only grain exporting industry that has a code of practice —
it’s a real selling point,” he said.Grain Producers Australia president, Andrew
Weidemann, said since the biosecurity protocols for wheat and barley were
signed Australia had exported 4.4 million tonnes of barley to China.“However,
China is not in the market as a volume buyer at the moment because they have an
internal protocol that states they should use their own stock first,” he said.The
Department of Agriculture confirmed Australia had provided a submission to
China for the biosecurity protocols but was awaiting a response.“The
Department understands China is working on a number of grain protocols
concurrently,” the statement said.
Nigeria to Export Rice By 2019
According to him, about
45,000 farmers have been provided with secured storage facilities and an
Electronic Warehouse Receipt System to provide sufficient grains for local
consumption and enhance export opportunities.“We have 15 warehouses across the
country and farmers in 30 kilometres radius can access these facilities. The
farmers are broken into smaller units in terms of cooperatives to easily access
the market. They are motivated to produce more while the market naturally
adjusts itself. So, Nigeria in the next three years should be exporting rice,”
he said.Balogun added: “The news is that farmers can now guarantee their price
at the end of harvests. Maize prize as at today is 80 per cent higher than the
price last year. Last year, it was N36, 000 but today it is N55, 000. This is
because the big companies that would have imported maize from Argentina and
Brazil into the country are now forced to buy at the local market. They cannot
import anymore because of the exchange rate.”
In a Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreement signed with the
federal government, in 2014, AFEX Nigeria was expected to effectively organise
the agriculture market and create value for farmers, raising national income.
He disclosed plans by the firm to commence export of other agricultural produce
in partnership with the rural farmers. Balogun stressed: “Our focus in the last
one year is staple crops. This year, we are starting with export crops. We have
been working with Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Nigeria Export
Import Bank (NEXIM) among others.”He emphasised that farmers would no longer be
at the mercy of buyers as they would get value for their farm produce. Senior
Vice President, Stuart Ponder, in his remarks, said agriculture commodities
such as palm oil, cocoa export were major drivers of the economy until advent
of oil.He said it was important for the nation to consider modern and efficient
market structure to support small holder farmers and eventually access loans.

New broad-spectrum herbicide for
rice weeds gets name: Loyant
Feb
15, 2016 | Delta Farm Press
“There are a few things
coming from industry that are going to make weed control interesting,” says
Hunter Perry, field R&D scientist for Dow AgroSciences. “We are
excited about Loyant because it has robust activity on a variety of
weeds – grasses, sedges and broadleaves – and because of the
resistance aspect.”
Rinskor active attracted a lot of
discussion when it was mentioned along with several other new herbicide active
ingredients for weed control in rice at the Roy J. mith Barnyardgrass Workshop in Stuttgart, Ark., last
spring.Now that Dow AgroSciences has given it a commercial name – Loyant – it’s
likely to attract even more discussion as it winds its way through the
registration process at EPA over the next two years, according to DAS
specialists.“There are a few things coming from industry that are going to make
weed control interesting,” says Hunter Perry, field R&D scientist for Dow
AgroSciences. “We are excited about Loyant because it has robust activity on a
variety of weeds – grasses, sedges and broadleaves – and because of the
resistance aspect.”
Dr. Perry said many of the susceptible weeds Loyant will control
also have a resistant counterpart, such as barnyardgrass. “It has developed
resistance to multiple modes of action as has flatsedge and other weeds. Loyant
has controlled those resistant biotypes of those weeds so it’s exciting to have
a new herbicide coming that can perform that way.”Some biotypes of
barnyardgrass are resistant to ALS inhibitors, some to propanil and some to
quinclorac or Facet. “There are a few biotypes out there that are resistant to
Clincher herbicide, but those are few compared to the others,” says Perry.

DNA rice breakthrough
raises 'green revolution' hopes

Rice-growing techniques learned through thousands of years of trial and error are about to be turbocharged with DNA technology in a breakthrough hailed by scientists as a potential second green revolution.
AFP News agency
Rice-growing techniques learned through thousands of years of trial and error are about to be turbocharged with DNA technology in a breakthrough hailed by scientists as a potential second green revolution.
FIRST GREEN REVOLUTION
The first green revolution began in the 1960s with the development of higher yielding varieties of wheat and rice that prevented massive global food shortages around the world.
That giant leap to producing more food involved the cross-breeding of unrelated varieties of rice to produce new varieties of rice that grew faster and produced higher yields, mainly by being able to respond better to fertiliser.
But the massive gains in rice yields which earned US geneticist Norman Borlaug the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, have long reached a plateau.

THREATS TO RICE GROWING
Because of increasingly stressful
conditions for rice growing expected in the 21st
Century, farmers and rice breeders will need new
DNA tools, which scientists stress are not the
same as controversial genetic
modification or GMOs.
While there will be many more millions of people to feed soon, there is also expected to be less land available for planting as farms are converted for urban development, destroyed by rising sea levels or land is converted to growing crops other than rice.
Rice paddy destroying floods, drought and storms are also expected to worsen with climate change.

Rice paddy destroying floods, drought and storms are also expected to worsen with climate change.
Meanwhile, pests
and diseases that evolve to resist herbicides and pesticides will be more difficult to kill.
And fresh water, vital for growing rice, is expected to become an increasingly scarce commodity in many parts of the world.
As scientists develop the tools necessary to harness the full advantages of the rice genome database, the hope is that new rice varieties can be developed to combat all of these problems.
"Essentially, you will be able to design what properties you want in rice, in terms of the drought resistance, resistance to diseases, high yields, and others," said Russian bioanalytics expert and IRRI team member Nickolai Alexandrov.

IMPROVED RICE YIELDS
Since rice was first domesticated
thousands of years ago, farmers have improved yields
through various planting techniques.
For the past century rice breeders have isolated traits, such as high yields and disease resistance, then developed them further through cross-breeding.
However, they did not know which genes controlled which traits, leaving much of the effort to lengthy time-consuming guesswork.
The latest breakthroughs in molecular genetics promise to fast-track the process, eliminating much of the mystery, scientists involved in the project at IRRI told AFP.

REDUCING DEVELOPMENT TIME FROM 12-YEARS TO
3-YEARS
Better rice varieties can now be expected to be developed and passed on to farmers' hands in less than three years, compared with 12 without the guidance of DNA sequencing technology.
Better rice varieties can now be expected to be developed and passed on to farmers' hands in less than three years, compared with 12 without the guidance of DNA sequencing technology.
Genome sequencing involves decoding DNA, the hereditary material of
all living cells and organisms.
The process
roughly compares with solving a giant jigsaw puzzle made up of billions of microscopic
pieces.
A multinational team undertook the four-year project at IRRI with the DNA decoding primarily done in China by BGI corporation, the world's biggest genome sequencing firm.
Leaf tissue from rice samples, drawn mostly from IRRI's gene bank of 127,000 varieties of rice were ground up by an IRRI team at its laboratory in Los Banos, near Manila's southern outskirts, before being shipped for sequencing.

PACKING MORE NUTRIENTS INTO RICE
One of the key priorities of IRRI is to pack more nutrients into rice, transforming rice into a tool to fight ailments linked to inadequate diets in poor countries as well as lifestyle diseases in wealthier countries.
Type-2 diabetes, which afflicts hundreds of millions of people, can be checked by breeding for particular varieties of rice which when cooked will release sugar into the bloodstream more slowly.
IRRI scientists are also hoping to breed rice varieties with a higher component of zinc, which prevents stunted growth and deaths from diarrhea in rice-eating Southeast Asia.

Rice course to build up agriculture expertise
By Htoo Thant | Tuesday, 16
February 2016
Myanmar is to develop a corps of rice experts, specialists who
will be tasked with making the most of what may be the country’s single most
important product.
Yezin Agricultural University, the only university producing
agriculturalists, is preparing to expand its courses by introducing a
specialisation in rice in the coming academic year, says rector U Myo Kywe.Nearly
13 million acres of the country’s 21 million acres under cultivation are
devoted to rice, rising to about 20 million acres if summer paddy is taken into
account. During the 1950s, Myanmar was a major global rice exporter, a position
it subsequently lost under the military regime.
“We will offer specialist courses in rice cultivation starting in
the second year, starting next year, initially for 50 to 100 students,” said U
Myo Kywe.The university was launching the specialisation on the advice of
international organisations and experts, he said.
U Sein Win, a Pyithu Hluttaw MP for Maubin township in Ayeyarwady
Region who has regularly raised agriculture-related issues in parliament, said
he supported a stronger focus on training in the sector, particularly practical experience.“Students should
learn theory at the school, and practice on the farm. Their creativity and
experience will help the country improve its agricultural sector,” he said,
adding, “Specialised courses should be offered on other agricultural products
as well.”U Myo Kywe said that on-the-job training would be provided to students
through cooperation between the university and the Ministry of Agriculture and
Irrigation’s Agricultural Research Department.
“Not everything can be learned from books. They will gain experience
in the field on pests and plant diseases,” he said, adding that additional
staff such as drivers would also be needed to support the new courses.Agricultural
graduate Ko Nay Soe said that previous government attempts to strengthen agricultural education had concentrated on
infrastructure, dams and water supply rather than human resources.With expert
foreign assistance, Yezin Agricultural University is undertaking improvements,
including a five-year technical exchange project in cooperation with a Japanese
organisation. Three Japanese specialists are in residence to observe
lecturing,researching and administration.“They are assessing the effectiveness
of the curriculum and will advise us based on their analysis,” said U Myo Kywe.He
said additional experts would be invited, including 10 laboratory technicians
and specialists in food safety and food science, and Japanese lecturers might
come to teach at the university.

week, compared with only 40,200 metric tons the previous week. The monthly
supply/demand balance sheet was little changed, but the on-farm price was
lowered again. The average expected price for long grain is now
$11.00-$11.60/cwt, and mid-south medium grain is expected to bring $11.70-$12.30.

Satake to host rice seminar in Vietnam
2/16/2016
- by World Grain Staff
HIROSHIMA, JAPAN —Satake Thailand Co. Ltd. has made an agreement
to hold a technical seminar in April to allow rice millers in Can Tho, Vietnam,
to be introduced to the latest rice milling equipment from Satake. The
initiative is expected to help stimulate further sales promotion within Vietnam
in the future, Satake said.The agreement was made following a Jan. 14 meeting
of Shoichi Tanaka, president of Satake Thailand, and six delegates and Can Tho
people’s committee.
Hiroshima prefecture organizes business matching projects between
companies in Hiroshima and Can Tho since 2014 as part of regional industry
tie-up project by JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization). In October 2015,
Dao Anh Dung, the vice-chairman of Can Tho people's committee and his party
came to Hiroshima prefecture and visited Satake, which has a presence in
Vietnam. The delegation greatly appreciated Satake's technology, and
subsequently, on their return, began recommending Satake products to rice
millers in their city, the company said.Satake has been exporting rice milling
equipment to Vietnam since 1989, and now supplies dryers and optical sorters to
that market. The seminar in April is expected to help stimulate further sales
promotion to the country.
USA Rice Comments on Ongoing TPP Investigation by
USITC
By Michael Klein
WASHINGTON, DC -- USA Rice submitted comments to the U.S.
International Trade Commission (USITC) on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
trade agreement to assist the agency in evaluating the economic impact of the
TPP on the U.S. economy. "USA Rice is a consistent and strong supporter of
well negotiated trade agreements," said USA Rice COO Bob Cummings. "The profitability of our sector and the
economic health of our members depends on reliable and high quality access to
international markets, and we welcome this opportunity to assist the USITC in
assessing the pluses and minuses of the TPP for the U.S. rice industry.""While
the TPP agreement provides new access for U.S. rice in Japan for the first time
since the Uruguay Round was completed in 1995, the achievements were much less
than our modest expectations, both in terms of the quantity and quality of our
access," according to Cummings.
"We are also concerned about an improvement, at the expense of
U.S. exporters, of Viet Nam's competitiveness in Mexico because Mexico has
agreed to phase out import duties on rice from Viet Nam once TPP is
implemented. We are still reviewing the
rice provisions of this complex agreement and we look forward to the USITC's
report."Cummings said the USA Rice comments don't take a final position on
TPP, but rather lay out the trade specifics:
a modest increase in U.S. tonnage entering Japan and improved
competitiveness of Viet Nam in the U.S.'s top market of Mexico."It will be
up to USITC to advise Congress on what they think the impact of TPP ultimately
will be," he said. "And of
course, they aren't just looking at rice, but rather the entire U.S. economy."
The USITC investigation - Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: Likely Impact on the U.S. Economy and on
Specific Industry Sectors - is mandated in the Bipartisan Congressional Trade
Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, and is expected to be delivered to
the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance in
May. This economic assessment is
required before Congress can consider approval of the TPP agreement. Many believe that congressional consideration
will not occur until after the 2016 elections, nonetheless this issue will be
on the agenda when USA Rice members meet with legislators and government
officials during next week's USA Rice Government Affairs Conference here
Next step in Normalization of Relations: U.S., Cuba Agree to Commercial Flights
By Deborah Willenborg
WASHINGTON, DC -- The United States and Cuba signed an agreement
this morning to resume commercial air traffic for the first time in five
decades. U.S. airlines can now start
bidding on routes for as many as 110 U.S.-Cuba daily flights - more than five
times the current number. All flights
operating between the two countries today are charters.Tourism is still barred
by law so Americans traveling to Cuba still need to meet one of 12 criteria
authorized by the U.S. government."Air travel between the two countries
will help facilitate tourism, business, and economic activity in Cuba,"
said USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward.
"USA Rice has been at the forefront of the push to open up trade
with Cuba because we know normal trade will get the Cuban economy moving to
create capital that can be used to purchase the products they need, namely U.S.
rice.
