Asia's best-kept beauty secret: Rice water
1406-2016
Packed with potent antioxidants, minerals, iron, zinc, B-complex vitamins and vitamin E, rice water is known to have several beautifying properties. It is said that washing your face with it can soften skin and reduce wrinkles, fine lines and scars or blemishes, and slow down the ageing process. It can benefit your hair too by strengthening the hair shaft and making hair more manageable and adding loads of shine to it.
There are two ways to use rice water:
1) Wash the rice and throw away the muddy water first. The second time you wash the rice, collect the water and use it to wash your skin and hair.
2) Boil some rice. Let the water cool down. Store this water in refrigerator. Use this to then wash your skin and hair

Tambuwal proposes re-look at rice imports ban
14 June 2016, 12:36
Abuja -
The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has urged Nigerian Customs
Service to review its policies following the ban on importation of some
commodities particularly rice.“Before we become self-sufficient in rice
production, I urge you to show some flexibility in the policy,” he said.The
governor insisted the long term benefit of the policy is not in doubt since
many in the country were faced with weak purchasing power.“It is imperative
that the policy is reviewed to ensure price of commodities are within the reach
of the common man,” Tambuwal added.He nonetheless commended the Customs
Comptroller General, Hameed Ibrahim Ali, for instilling discipline in the
service’s operations and urged him not to relent until the revenue base of the
federation had increased.
Alli
meanwhile acknowledged that the last year had been a difficult one for the
paramilitary organisation.From revenue target of N80 billion monthly, the
organisation, he said, was now struggling to get N45billion to 50 billion every
month.“So, this is not the best of times for us but we are working to overcome
our challenges,” Ali said. - CAJ News

Mississippi rice crop makes good progress; herbicide drift; more CL163
Written By Delta Farm Press Posted: 06/13/2016,
07:00pm
It was clear by early June that spring’s wet,
cool weather caused few issues for Mississippi’s rice crop, as growers got it
planted on time and the emerged crop looked good overall. Department of
Agriculture estimated that as of June 5, the crop was 99 percent planted and 97
percent emerged. Of that acreage, 78 percent was in good or excellent
condition, and 20 percent was in fair condition.

Thai Commerce Min to establish institution for rice commercialization
Min of Commerce to establish institution for rice commercializationBANGKOK, 14 June 2016 (NNT) – The private sector has expressed support for the Ministry of Commerce to establish an institution for the commercialization of rice.
Permanent Secretary for Commerce Chutima Bunyapraphasara revealed after discussing with rice research centers and private companies that they believe such an institution would be beneficial to the country. They believe a rice commercialization establishment would raise the value of rice and rice-related products from Thailand. Ms. Chutima also disclosed that the institution will also play a role in determining non-tariff barriers for certain imports.
Next month, the Ministry of Commerce will submit a proposal to establish the institution to the National Rice Policy and Management Committee (NRPMC) for consideration. Ms. Chutima said she will assure the NRPMC that the role of the institution will not be redundant with other rice and trade organizations.
As for the government-to-government deal (G2G) between Thailand and China, The Commerce Permanent Secretary said Thailand is expected to export around one million tons of rice in mid-2016 to the Asian superpower.
Exports of the remaining one million tons of rice under the G2G deal will be tabled for consideration during a meeting on the Thai-Chinese high-speed train project, which will be held in the near future.http://news.thaivisa.com/thailand/thai-commerce-min-to-establish-institution-for-rice-commercialization/145436/
Rice, grain prices responding to U.S., global central bank policies
Tomorrow's Fed meeting could set tone for
futures for remainder of 2016
Jun 14, 2016 | Delta

I expect
guidance to be more supportive allowing market fundamentals a turn at directing
commodity price strength or weakness, which near term would be neutral to
bearish for commodities having shown price strength and neutral to bullish for
commodities just starting to show price strength.
-Dr. Bobby Coats
The
markets are awaiting Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen’s comments after
their Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting tomorrow (June 15). The
question is will Fed monetary guidance be bullish or bearish for rice, cotton,
grain and other commodity markets?I expect guidance to be more supportive allowing market fundamentals a turn at directing commodity price strength or weakness, which near term would be neutral to bearish for commodities having shown price strength and neutral to bullish for commodities just starting to show price strength.
On May 25, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen indicated near term future Fed Monetary Policy Activity would likely be increasingly hawkish with all indications of a Feds Fund Rate increase sooner rather than later, possibly as soon as the Fed’s June 14-15 meeting.
This, I expect, was due to building global inflationary forces, being driven by continuous injections of stimulus from fiscal and monetary policy intervention, from the European Union, Japan, China and others. These activities – especially since late-February – have been supportive to bullish for rice, cotton, grains, and oil prices.
Next, the following Friday, June 3rd, after market participants digested the news of the “Lowest Nonfarm Payroll in Over 5 Years,” few market participants now expect a U.S. Fed Fund Rate increase on June 15. The expectation is forward guidance will be:
- First, the FOMC committee remains data dependent; and
- Second, do not rule out a July Fed Funds Rate increase on July 27th.
Thus near term given dollar chart structure I see a dollar more likely sideways channel bound and a potentially bullish environment for U.S. Treasuries.

Saving Pakistan’s Dying Agriculture Sector
Pakistan cannot achieve sustained economic growth with its agriculture sector in decline.
By Umair Jamal
June 13, 2016
Natural disasters, floods, and droughts have compounded the problem for Pakistan. Severe flooding in September 2014 destroyed around 1 million acres of standing crops; the flooding also caused the destruction of irrigation canals and land erosion. In August 2010 floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains destroyed about 1 million hectares of crops in Punjab province. Pakistan’s principal food crops, such as wheat, sugarcane, and rice, haven’t been able to overcome the impacts of these floods: exports of rice and wheat have dropped significantly due to low production rates. To feed its own textile sector, Pakistan had to import cotton from its neighboring countries.
The rapid erosion of the vital agriculture sector is directly reflected in the country’s economic growth. Agriculture adds almost 22 percent to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP); the crops mentioned above account for more than 5 percent of Pakistan’s GDP. Although Pakistan’s economy during the most recent fiscal year achieved the highest growth rate since 2008-09, it could not attain its overall set growth target of 5.7 percent, largely due to a major decline in the agriculture sector. A Pakistani think tank, Social Policy and Development Centre (SPDC), has even refuted the government’s claim of achieving 4.7 percent GDP growth for the outgoing year: “GDP growth rate is 3.1 percent, not 4.7 percent in fiscal year 2015-16,” said the institute.
The current Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government is known for its excessive and often interventionist policies in the agriculture sector, particularly with regard to ignoring the needs of small farmers and imposing additional taxes in the form of increased power tariffs and fertilizer prices. Despite the military coups and changes in the government, the PML-N’s provincial government in Punjab – the most important agricultural region – has ruled the province for almost two decades; however, the growth rate of the agriculture sector has consistently lagged behind the other sectors.
Meanwhile, the government’s heavy handed approach to suppressing farmer’s demands is deeply concerning. A week ago, the Pakistan Farmer Association protested outside the Punjab provincial assembly, demanding an end to extra taxes on fertilizers and electricity. The protests were met with the government’s deployment of police. In the Okara district of Punjab province, farmers have been arrested under various anti-terrorism laws while their gatherings have been banned. “The government’s use of vague and overbroad counter-terrorism laws against protesting farmers brings new tensions to this volatile situation,” Human Rights Watch said.
These problems are primarily because of the party leadership’s fixation with the industrial sector and imbalanced economic policies that approach the agriculture sector as an “obsolete” area, which does not merit the government’s state-level growth oriented intervention. Adding to the problem is the lack of research support to increase crop productivity, outdated agricultural knowledge, erosion of the irrigation system — all resulting in lost competitiveness internationally. Although Pakistan has a predominantly agricultural economy, the rapid decline in the sector has forced Pakistan into importing a number of food commodities to fulfill its own consumption needs. Despite the marked decline, the country cannot overlook the importance of this sector: besides contributing to more than 70 percent of total export earnings, it employs almost half of the country’s labor force.
While the government has promised extra funding in next year’s budget to rescue the agriculture sector, sustained growth is impossible unless a comprehensive and modern agricultural policy is formulated
Pakistan, China agree to increase Pakistani rice, fruits export to Yunnan
24 hours ago BY INP
The two leaders expressed satisfaction on the very successful 4th China-South Asia Expo especially Pakistan’s active participation with the largest country pavilion.
They also exchanged views on the current status of Yunnan province’s economic and commercial ties with Pakistan and agreed to focus on ways and means to further promote these ties in a comprehensive manner.
The Commerce Minister suggested that bringing Pakistani agricultural products like rice and fruits to Yunnan could be an important step in this direction.
The Yunnan Party Secretary agreed that the two sides needed to work closely in this area.
In addition, it was also agreed that concerted efforts will be made to enhance people to people contacts and cooperation in important fields of science and technology, culture, tourism, and education.
The minister is visiting Kunming to lead Pakistan’s delegation to the 4th China-South Asia Expo being held from 12 to 17th of this month.

Duterte’s coming reality check
I’m not perturbed at the stream of
consciousness rants of President-elect Duterte against the Catholic hierarchy,
media, the judiciary, the BIR, Customs, government officials on the take from
drug lords, and most everything else. To my mind, he’s only venting the
people’s frustrations at our weak institutions.
The question, however, is how does he intend to
solve the weakness of these institutions and the dysfunctions of government?
Between politicians and Leftists in his
cabinet, the incoming Duterte administration seems to think that government is
the answer: No nonsense, activist, disciplinarian government.Take, for example,
the food affordability problem. Judging from the announcements of his incoming
Secretary of Agriculture, Manny Piñol, the administration will recentralize all
rice imports under the National Food Authority and will target to be rice
self-sufficient in 3 years.The National Food Authority has had a rice
importation monopoly for more than fifty years and rice, instead of becoming
cheaper, has become more expensive. Thanks to this monopoly, Filipino rice
consumers pay twice for their rice as their counterparts in Vietnam.
How the incoming Duterte administration will make more food affordable without liberalizing rice imports escapes me. If the Duterte administration thinks that it will solve the food affordability problem by launching another rice self-sufficiency program similar to what Secretary Prospero Alcala’s Agriculture Department launched, they have another think coming. It will be another failure, like Alcala’s program because years after it was launched, we still import close to 2 million tons of rice a year. By the way, the Aquino administration can claim some success in making supply to equal demand: it raised prices by restricting imports, thereby reducing demand. A cruel, but effective, measure.
I also don’t know how the incoming administration will stop rice smuggling since the incentive to smuggle is high because of the huge difference between the landed price of imported rice and domestic prices. Therefore, rice smuggling is very, very profitable. Will shooting rice smugglers stop smuggling? Or will Customs and law enforcers look the other way for a few pieces of silver, Duterte’s cursing and threats notwithstanding?
The coming reality check for President-elect Duterte is that the Philippine state is weak, inefficient, and ineffective. He better craft policy solutions along that line, rather than assume that he can bend government institutions and society’s problems to his will.For example, President-elect Duterte talks about stopping contractualization, or the practice of giving out five (5) month contracts to casual laborers to prevent them from becoming permanent employees. He seems to think that if the government says stop, the practice will stop.The practice of giving out what are called 5-5-5 contracts is already illegal under DoLE Order 18-A issued in 2011. Legitimate labor contractors are required by law to meet certain capitalization requirements and to pay all mandatory benefits. So what will the Duterte administration stop what is already illegal?
If President-elect Duterte means outlawing the practice of outsourcing certain labor-intensive operations to outside contractors, he will be going against the worldwide trend of outsourcing since companies want to focus on core competencies and outsource the rest. For example, an electronics company would want to focus on doing hardware and software and not be distracted by managing janitorial or merchandising services. An order banning contractualization may end up discouraging investments and employment.
The way to reduce contractualization is to reduce the incentive of employers to terminate casual workers before the end of six months: amend the Labor Code to extend the probationary period from six months to at least two years, enough time for workers to learn skills and employers to decide if they deserve to have security of tenure.
Better yet, President-elect Duterte should build on his previous idea of leasing out islands or enclaves for private, and even foreign investors, to manage. Let those economic zones experiment with more market-friendly employment policies and let its performance be contrasted with the rest of the nation in terms of employment and labor welfare. After all, the whole idea of federalism is “letting a hundred flowers bloom.” Let autonomous zones experiment and let the nation see which vision -- the statist one perpetuated by the politicians and the Left or a more market-friendly government, succeed.
It can be argued that the Philippine state can be made to be more efficient, effective, and strong. History argues otherwise: name it -- PNR, Napocor, MWSS, NAIA, MRT, NFA etc. -- and anything the government manages, turns into a corrupt piece of crap insensitive to the public welfare, irrespective of who’s in power.There are many reasons for the weakness of the Philippine state: a highly politicized bureaucracy; a political system dominated by dynasties whose loyalty is to family rather than the nation; an inward-looking, rent-seeking economy dominated by oligarchs in non-tradable regulated industries -- power, telecommunications, banking, ports, shipping, etc. -- whose interest is “regulatory capture” or penetrating the state for the benefit of their regulated industries.
The Duterte team seems to be afflicted with hubris and with a sense that it can do everything. Here’s a cautionary tale: there was this former mayor of a non-capital city in Southeast Asia who was elected president of his nation with popular acclaim. He had humble ways and the press even wrote about how his family would just take the economy class on plane trips. He promised to build infrastructure projects quickly and lift the economy. He projected himself tough on drugs, ordering the execution of suspected foreign drug dealers and risking international condemnation.
However, after just one year, his popularity fell precipitously. He failed to lift the economy. His infrastructure projects didn’t take off. His anti-drug executions left his country diplomatically isolated. His clean image suffered with appointments of officials with a history of corruption from a previous administration.His name? Indonesia’s President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. Filipinos know him because of Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipina convicted of smuggling heroin in Indonesia and scheduled to be executed under Jokowi’s tough anti-drug campaign. Filipino authorities pleaded with Jokowi to spare her.
Although there are similarities, Duterte is no Jokowi. However, to avoid Jokowi’s fate, Duterte should not overestimate the capacity of the Philippine state. Instead, he should harness the forces of the market and the private sector to quickly deliver on his promise of inclusive growth.Calixto V.

Brown rice, porridge and Weetabix could prevent early death, study finds
Published
14/06/2016
Enjoying a bowl porridge oats every day could help
lengthen your life, a study has found
Eating whole grains - such as brown rice, oats
and Weetabix - could prevent an early death, research suggests. Experts at
Harvard found just one 16g serving per day of whole grain cuts the risk of
dying from any cause, heart disease or cancer. And, they argued, the more whole
grains people eat, the bigger the benefits.
Their analysis of studies showed that for every
single serving (16g) of whole grains, there was a 7% drop in risk of death from
any cause, a 9% drop in death from cardiovascular disease and a 5% drop in the
chance of dying from cancer. When three servings (48g) was eaten daily, people
had a 20% lower chance of dying from any cause, a 25% reduced risk of a
cardiovascular death and a 14% reduced chance of dying from cancer.
The research was published in the journal of
the American Heart Association. A slice of whole grain bread acts as one
serving, while two Weetabix (37.5g) is just over two servings. Half a cup of
cooked brown rice or 100% whole grain pasta also count as one serving.
Experts agree that people do not eat enough
whole grain foods and fibre. The recent Eatwell Guide published by Public
Health England (PHE) says people should consume 30g of fibre per day from
fruit, vegetables and whole grain foods. Currently people only consume around
19g of fibre per day - less than two-thirds the recommendation. Previous
studies have shown that whole grains can help reduce the risk of heart disease,
stroke, obesity and Type 2 diabetes. In the latest analysis, 12 studies were
included from the US, Scandinavia and the UK. The combined studies involved
786,076 men and women and included 97,867 total deaths, 23,597 deaths from
cardiovascular disease and 37,492 deaths from cancer.
Qi Sun, a ssistant professor in the department
of nutrition at the H arvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, who
led the research, said low-carbohydrate diets that ignore the health benefits
of whole grains foods "should be adopted with caution". He said they may
be linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. "Based on
the solid evidence from this meta-analysis and numerous previous studies that
collectively document beneficial effects of whole grains, I think healthcare
providers should unanimously recommend whole grain consumption to the general
population as well as to patients with certain diseases to help achieve better
health and perhaps reduce death," he said.
Victoria Taylor, senior dietician at the
British Heart Foundation, said: "Eating more wholegrains is a simple
change we can make to improve our diet and help lower our risk of heart and
circulatory disease. "Unlike in the US, the UK doesn't have specific
recommendations for the number of portions of wholegrains we should eat every
day, but we do have a recommendation on the amount of fibre we should eat.
Wholegrains are a great way of increasing the level of fibre in our diets and,
on average, our intake of fibre is not meeting guidelines."Choosing brown
rice, whole-wheat pasta, wholemeal or granary bread instead of white and
swapping to wholegrain breakfast cereals like porridge are all simple ways to
help us up our fibre and wholegrain intake."
Prof Tim Key, Cancer Research UK scientist at
the University of Oxford, said: "We know that eating fibre, including
whole grains, can reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer."This study
suggests that a diet high in whole grains could reduce death from cancer, but
it's difficult to tease apart other lifestyle factors that could be playing a
role. If whole grains do reduce the risk of dying from cancer it's most likely
linked to bowel cancer.

ED, IT to probe multi-crore scam in export of Basmati rice to Iran
By PTI | 13 Jun, 2016, 05.01PM IST
Both the
agencies have been asked by a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation
Team to track the money which has been laundered through the export.NEW DELHI:
The Enforcement
Directorate (ED) and Income Tax
(IT) department will probe the over Rs 1,000-crore scam in export of
high-quality Basmati rice
to Iran which was fraudulently
diverted mid-sea to Dubai. Both the agencies have been asked by a Supreme
Court-appointed Special Investigation Team to track the money which has been
laundered through the export besides zeroing in on its beneficiaries, official
sources said today.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), which has unearthed the scam, has shared relevant details of the case with the SIT, which is now monitoring the probe, they said. The SIT, headed by former Supreme Court judge M B Shah, is responsible for investigating cases of black money stashed within and outside the country. Over two lakh metric tonnes of Basmati rice was illegally offloaded in Dubai, during 2014-2015, instead of Bandar Abbas in Iran, the sources said. At least 25 big exporters from Haryana and Punjab are under the scanner of probe agencies for their involvement in the multi-crore scam. Both ED and IT have been asked to look into the case, they said. Explaining the modus operandi, the sources claimed the rice would be taken to Gujarat's Kandla Port by these exporters. They would then file shipping bills--documents filed with customs authorities carrying details of goods to be exported, consignor and consignee--for export to Iran.
Instead of the consignment reaching Iranian shores, it would be diverted mid-sea to Dubai allegedly with connivance of cargo ship operators carrying the goods. Surprisingly, payments were also made from Iran to these exporters in India. Importers and port officials would allegedly acknowledge the receipt of rice and allow payment to be made against it here, they said. Agencies are clueless about the end-use of rice off-loaded in Dubai and suspect misuse of the proceeds through the commodity to fund some illegal activity like terror financing, the sources said. Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha had recently informed the Parliament about the scam.
"Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has
detected cases of diversion of Basmati rice export wherein consignments of rice
meant for Iran were diverted to Dubai. "The payments for the said goods
were received in Indian Rupees instead of freely convertible foreign currency,
by misusing the facilities granted to the goods actually exported to
Iran," Sinha had said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.

Zinc deficiencies in Arkansas rice fields
Jun 13, 2016
Zinc
deficiencies continue to be reported in Arkansas rice fields as more rice has
been flooded for a couple of weeks.If you have bronzing of the lower leaves and
a bright yellow midrib, that’s a great indicator of a zinc problem.The
recommended correction for this problem is to immediately drain the flood.
There’s rarely a situation that allows you to avoid draining, you just have to
do it.Once new leaf and root growth occurs, apply 1 pound of zinc per
acre. A few days later apply 100 pounds of ammonium sulfate and reflood.
Yes, you absolutely need 1 pound of zinc per
acre of a chelated zinc.If the product contains 10 percent zinc, you need 1
gallon per acre of that product.Don’t let anyone talk you into a reduced rate
or a different type of product.
If you
have any doubts about the zinc deficiency (sometimes it's less obvious) or feel
something else may also be in play, send plants off for tissue analysis.Proper diagnostic analysis involves sending in a sample that looks deficient as well as a sample from a good area of the field. This allows for comparison of values within the field as opposed to comparing strictly to textbook values that may not be as representative of your crop in its current stage and situation

Rice futures were under pressure again today
but traded in a fairly narrow range. The USDA supply/demand report did show an
increase in short and medium grain rice exports, but also forecast an increase
in long grain rice imports. With forecast for another big crop in 2016/17, rice
needs to see additional demand develop as we approach the fall. The USDA is
forecasting sharp increases next year over the current year, however, export
sales are still lackluster. July has support near $10.75.

Ronald Bailey
USA Rice extends condolences to the family and
friends of Ronald Wade Bailey, Sr., of Hot Springs, Arkansas, who passed away
on June 10, at the age of 80.
Bailey became the head of Producers Rice Mill
in Stuttgart, Arkansas, in 1967 and under his 21-years of leadership the cooperative
became a major global competitor in the rice industry. During his tenure
Producers acquired nine green rice drying and storage facilities throughout
eastern Arkansas, and saw farmer-member receipts increase from 4.5 million to
20.4 million bushels annually."Ronald Bailey was a visionary leader for
Producers Rice Mill, Inc.," said Producers current President & CEO
Keith Glover. "Much of Producers' success today can be traced to his
leadership and the construction and acquisition of some of the most modern rice
facilities within the industry during his tenure as president."Bailey was
a past chairman of the USA Rice Millers' Association and was appointed to the
Rice Advisory Council by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture where he served on
the International Programs Committee.
Funeral services were held this morning. Memorials may be made to the First United
Methodist Church of Hot Springs and the Gina Renee Bailey Scholarship Fund in
care of Farmers and Merchants Bank in Stuttgart.
USA Rice Trade Mission to Colombia: Part Two
By Sarah Moran

Colombia

hypermarket in Bogota
BOGOTA, COLOMBIA --
Colombia has gone from our 51st largest export
market in 2011 to our third largest in 2015, largely on the strength of milled
rice exports entering under provisions of the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade
Agreement. Colombian regulations
restrict the entry of U.S. paddy to the port of Barranquilla because of
concerns over the presence in U.S. paddy of false smut, a plant disease. In meetings with U.S. embassy and Colombian
government officials here last week, USA Rice expressed dissatisfaction with
continual delays of an epidemiological study looking into the presence of false
smut in Colombia. The release of this
study is one of the first steps in mitigating/eliminating the current
restrictions on U.S. paddy entry into Colombia.
USA Rice was informed by ICA, the Colombian
equivalent of the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that
the study would take another six months to complete and then additional time
will be necessary to analyze the results.
When this issue was raised by the USA Rice team with U.S. Ambassador
Kevin Whitaker, he offered to get involved directly with Colombian officials to
assist in bringing about a resolution.
USA Rice is urging that this restriction be lifted or at a minimum
modified as soon as possible.
The USA Rice trade mission also met with
Induarroz, the Colombian rice millers association, and Diana Corporation, one
of the largest mills in Colombia responsible for about 30 percent of the
country's milling. Diana Corporation
indicated their strong desire to import U.S. paddy, while Induarroz stressed
their desire for free and open trade with all countries and the USA Rice team
encouraged both groups to continue urging their government to quickly complete
the epidemiological study.
"Even though there are a few trade issues
with Colombia, there is great long-term potential for U.S. rice exports to
Colombia," says Jorge Rodriguez of ADM and one of the participants on the
trade mission. "Given their high
annual consumption at about 80 pounds per capita, and the fact that domestic
Colombian rice is nearly twice the price of U.S. rice, we see a strong future
with this trading partner."
Colombians often eat rice for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner but as the team noticed in supermarkets, country of origin is not
listed on the packages. Most rice is
comingled, either with domestic production or imports from other origins. The group also learned that while Colombians
prefer the cooking characteristics of domestic rice, the milling yields are not
as high as other origins and so mixing is necessary. The only identified U.S. rice observed in the
supermarkets were those U.S brands that shipped packaged rice for retail from
the United States.
"While it is somewhat disheartening that
U.S. rice isn't identified at the retail level, there is still great potential
for USA Rice promotions in this burgeoning market," said Ryan Carwell of
Poinsett Rice and another participant on the trade mission. "It was encouraging to see the work that
USA Rice is doing on behalf of the U.S. rice industry here."

ED, IT to probe multi-crore scam in export of Basmati rice
PTI | Jun 13, 2016, 04.47 PM IST
New
Delhi, Jun 13 () The Enforcement
Directorate (ED) and Income Tax (IT)
department will probe the over Rs 1,000-crore scam in export of high-quality
Basmati rice to Iran which was fraudulently diverted mid-sea to Dubai.Both the agencies have been asked by a Supreme Court- appointed Special Investigation Team to track the money which has been laundered through the export besides zeroing in on its beneficiaries, official sources said today.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), which has unearthed the scam, has shared relevant details of the case with the SIT, which is now monitoring the probe, they said.
The SIT, headed by former Supreme Court judge M B Shah, is responsible for investigating cases of black money stashed within and outside the country.
Over two lakh metric tonnes of Basmati rice was illegally offloaded in Dubai, during 2014-2015, instead of Bandar Abbas in Iran, the sources said.
At least 25 big exporters from Haryana and Punjab are under the scanner of probe agencies for their involvement in the multi-crore scam. Both ED and IT have been asked to look into the case, they said.
Explaining the modus operandi, the sources claimed the rice would be taken to Gujarat's Kandla Port by these exporters. They would then file shipping bills--documents filed with customs authorities carrying details of goods to be exported, consignor and consignee--for export to Iran.
Instead of the consignment reaching Iranian shores, it would be diverted mid-sea to Dubai allegedly with connivance of cargo ship operators carrying the goods.
Surprisingly, payments were also made from Iran to these exporters in India. Importers and port officials would allegedly acknowledge the receipt of rice and allow payment to be made against it here, they said.
Agencies are clueless about the end-use of rice off-loaded in Dubai and suspect misuse of the proceeds through the commodity to fund some illegal activity like terror financing, the sources said.
Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha had recently informed the Parliament about the scam.
"Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has detected cases of diversion of Basmati rice export wherein consignments of rice meant for Iran were diverted to Dubai.
"The payments for the said goods were
received in Indian Rupees instead of freely convertible foreign currency, by
misusing the facilities granted to the goods actually exported to Iran,"
Sinha had said in a written reply to Lok Sabha. AKV

Farmers in Texas Go from Drought to Deluge
June 13, 2016Story provided by Texas Farm Bureau
Green crops. Rubber boots. Flooded fields. It’s something many Texas rice farmers haven’t seen in a long time.“My family started in about 1908 farming rice. I’m real happy. I hated to see the last 4 years when there was no rice. And it’s a blessing to see it. To see the water flowing out of the river. To see the green rice fields," said Paul Sliva, a Texas rice farmer.
This is the first time since 2011 the Lower Colorado River Authority has released water downstream for irrigation. Rice is a shallow rooted crop, meaning it needs lots of water. But until the spring of 2015, water was scarce in Texas. The historic multi-year drought took its toll. Many Texas lakes & rivers dried up – as did Paul’s rice fields. He gets most of his water from the nearby Colorado River. But for the last few years, there wasn’t enough to go around. "The reservoirs in Austin, Travis and Buchanan, were at a level that was really too low for us to get water from,” Sliva recounts.
But this year his barren fields have transformed back into a luscious rice crop. After two very wet spring seasons, the Highland Lakes are full, which means Paul can count on water flowing into his rice fields. A trend he hopes continues.
“I'm fairly confident we will have water next year but, you know, we just need normal rainfall patterns to come back," said Sliva. "It’s been so long since we’ve seen normal; I don't know what normal is anymore. It’s either too wet or too dry."
The over saturated spring hasn’t been without its challenges for rice farmers. Earlier in the year, too much rain caused some seeds to rot before breaking through the ground. Plus some levees couldn’t withstand torrential downpours. "This is a sandy loam type soil. The levees were fairly fresh. The rice on them was young and didn't have a big root system yet. And so the water we had in the field from flushing then you got the 3 inch or 4 inches of rain on top of it. It was just too much water at one time," explained the farmer.
Weeks were spent repairing and rebuilding levees. It’s hard, back-breaking work. But it’s better than not growing a crop.
Erratic weather patterns & and an ever growing population makes the future of Texas rice uncertain. Farmers like Paul have dug wells to help when surface water is low. Plus LCRA is building a new off-channel reservoir just upstream near Lane City. It hopes to hold up to 90,000 acre-feet of water for the region.
Rice is important to Texas. Farmers along the Colorado River are happy to be back in their rubber boots. Growing one of the world’s most essential crops.
Sliva is happy with the current condition. "It is very nice to be out there in the water, wade around, looking at the rice. There's nothing better to me than growing a rice crop."
While the recent floods were a blessing in disguise for many farmers and ranchers, others lost scores of livestock that drowned in high waters. Many of them will be eligible for assistance through the farm bill's livestock indemnity program. To file a claim, Texas farmers and ranchers should contact their local farm service agency office

As Cities Swell, West Africa’s Appetite for Rice Is Growing
June 15, 2016 — 3:00 AM PKT Updated on June 15, 2016 — 12:25 PM PKT
Rice is
fast becoming West Africa’s preferred food. After four decades of importing the
staple, the region now aims to grow enough rice to meet domestic demand.Rice
harvests in West Africa will probably reach an all-time high of 14.9 million
metric tons this year, up from 14.6 million tons last year, when Senegal and
Ghana produced record crops, according to the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization. Mali’s crop is forecast to expand about 8 percent,
while output in several countries including Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone has
climbed every year since 2011, the organization said.West African governments began investing in rice farming in the wake of the 2008 food crisis, when a worldwide spike in prices for food items triggered violent protests in cities in Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Burkina Faso, Concepcion Calpe, an economist at the FAO, said by phone from Rome.
They’re trying to meet a growing appetite for rice that’s coming at the expense of traditional staples such as cassava and corn. West Africa has been dependent on rice imports from Asia since 1975, when consumption by a fast-growing population began to outpace production. Today, as incomes rise and African cities swell, more and more people eat rice because it’s easy to store and easy to prepare, according to Yacouba Dembele, head the National Office for Rice Development in Ivory Coast.
City Life
“Rice is tailored to city life,” Dembele said in an interview in the commercial capital, Abidjan. “It’s become an urban food.”Consumption in West Africa is forecast to rise to 53 kilograms (116.6 pounds) per person per year by 2025, from 44 kilograms in 2011, according to the Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute. In 1990, West Africans consumed on average 32 kilograms of rice per person. There’s of course a variety of consumption patterns: in some countries, including Mali, local rice is more popular, while the Senegalese prefer imported rice, according to AfricaRice, an Abidjan-based international research institute.
Senegalese President Macky Sall said in an interview last month that governments should consider boosting rice farming because it’s become a “strategic food” since China began importing the staple. Sall has repeatedly pledged to make Senegal self-sufficient in rice by 2017, a plan that has been criticized by the opposition as unfeasible.
He’s not alone in his ambition. Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara wants his country to be self-sufficient in rice by 2017. Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari has set 2018 as a target for West Africa’s biggest producer and importer of the staple to end inward shipments. Mali, Guinea and Sierra Leone are already near self-sufficiency, with Mali’s rice harvest covering 91 percent of domestic demand, according to AfricaRice.
Nigeria’s central bank reserved $200 million last year to provide low-interest loans to rice and wheat farmers as part of a government campaign to boost agriculture and reduce food imports, which weigh heavily on the local currency. Among large-scale rice buyers and processors is a local unit of Olam International Ltd. More than half of local demand of about six million tons is currently supplied by imports in the nation of 180 million people.
Irrigation Systems
Ivory Coast has attracted foreign investors including Louis Dreyfus Commodities LLC to boost its rice processing capacity, which was working at a maximum last year. The government is building 100 small-scale plants nationwide, while it’s already invested in irrigation systems, seeds and fertilizers.
Senegal, which still imported three-quarters of
demand in 2014, imposed quotas on rice importers last year and banned the
export of locally grown rice, according to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The government is also helping farmers increase yields on
existing farms. Official data indicate that Senegal’s rice crop jumped 62
percent between 2014 and 2015, reaching a record 906,000 tons. The plan is to
produce 1.6 million tons by 2017.
‘Political Implications’
Senegal’s import restrictions were followed by similar rules in Cameroon, which re-instated import tariffs for rice earlier this year, and Nigeria, which banned rice shipments through its land borders, according to the FAO.With leaders labeling self-sufficiency in rice a key policy issue, the staple has become political, which means some official production data may be unreliable, said Calpe of the FAO. “A lot of statistics have political implications,” she said. “Not all are backed by strong evidence.”
But back in Abidjan, Dembele said that Ivory Coast, already the world’s largest cocoa grower, is on track to start exporting rice as early as 2019. “In Asia, rice production can’t expand much more,” he said. “Africa still has that potential.”

Nigeria: Sultan to Customs CG, Lift Ban On Importation of Rice Through Land Borders
By Mohammed Aminu
Sokoto — The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad
Sa'ad Abubakar III, monday called on the management of the Nigeria Customs
Service (NCS) to consider the possibility of lifting the ban on the importation
of rice through the nation's land borders.
Speaking when the Comptroller-General of the
Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), paid him a courtesy visit in his palace in
Sokoto, the monarch said the policy of the government has brought untold
hardship on the Nigerian masses and aggravated the scarcity of food in the
country.
"This policy should be revisited with a
view to making amends and ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians," he said.The
monarch stated that he had been receiving complaints of the masses on the
present hardship in the country and called on the customs boss to therefore
brainstorm with his management team in this direction."There is no food in
the country, so, there is the need for the borders to be reopened for rice
importation through land borders," he stressed.

Commerce Ministry expects to wipe out 10 million tonnes of rice from rice pledging scheme this year
By Thai
PBS
June 14, 2016
The Commerce Ministry has set a target to sell
the remaining 10 million tonnes of rice bought under the Yingluck government’s
rice pledging scheme within this year, commerce permanent secretary Ms Chutima
Boonyaprapas said on Monday.
The remaining rice stockpiles are divided into
three lots: over six million tonnes of PAA-grade or good quality rice; about
two million tonnes of Grade C rice which are not suitable for human
consumption; and about two million tonnes of rotten rice which are good for
industrial use such as for producing ethanol.Ms Chutima said that the Commerce
Ministry would try to sell the 10 million tonnes of rice through every channel,
including open auctions, G-to-G deals, direct sale to domestic and overseas
customers and even donations.
The sale of the rice will help ease the
government’s burden in management and storage, said the permanent secretary,
adding that the ministry would try to sell as much rice as possible.She noted
that once the remaining rice in storage are sold out it would be known by then
how much loss has been incurred to the state from the controversial rice
pledging scheme.Besides the six million tonnes of good quality rice, Ms Chutima
admitted that it would not be easy to offload the rest of the rice which are
not suitable for human consumption.The ministry put on auction 37,400 tonnes of
rotten rice some time ago and only 21,100 tonnes were sold to Wor Thanasap
company at approximately five baht per kilogramme.

Thailand To Set Up Commercial Rice Institute
BANGKOK, June 14 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of
Commerce will soon propose to the National Rice Policy Committee (NRPC) on the
establishment of a new rice institute for commercial activities, reports Thai
News Agency (TNA).Permanent Secretary for Commerce Chutima Bunyapraphat said
that the ministry will table the proposal before the NRPC either late this
month or early next month.Chutima said that the plan to set up the new
institute came after a recent meeting with 18 private rice trading companies.
During the meeting they resolved that part of the rice production in Thailand should be used in processing industry with the utilisation of high technologies and research and development (R&D) projects to enable the country to become a manufacturer and exporter of value-added rice products or "super food".
Chutima noted that the private-run rice firms are prepared to invest if the products to be manufactured are clear and meet market demand.Chutima acknowledged that there are several R&D agencies on rice in Thailand, but safety tests could not yet be conducted due to the lack of raw materials.
The senior official also proposed that the Thai government step in to coordinate with relevant agencies in using innovative technologies to first produce value-added rice products, followed by cosmetics and pharmaceutical ones.According to the senior official, if NRPC gives the green light on setting up the commercial rice institute, the proposed plan will then be forwarded to the Thai Cabinet for further consideration and a decision.
The senior official assessed that about 600 million baht (about RM69,828.00)is initially needed for the establishment of the new commercial rice insitute.

Rice farmers begin planting after rainfall
ไม่มีรายการวีดีโอ Date : 14 มิถุนายน 2559
SI SA KET, 14 June 2016 (NNT) – Farmers in many
areas have been observed preparing their fields for rice planting after recent
rainfall.
Rice growers in Si Sa Ket province’s Rasisalai
district were seen quickly harvesting peanut crops planted during the prolonged
drought to make way for rice crops. Many of the farmers have foregone
collecting all of the nuts and instead covered up the plants to use them as
fertilizer to make the most of a window of opportunity offered by recent
rainfall in the area.
In Ang Thong province, farmers in Poh Thong
district have joined together to pump water from the Noi River to rehydrate 4
kilometers of canals to supply their fields. The farmers have agreed to
cooperate in using the water to make sure there is enough for all their farms
to sustain crops.
