Kenyatta Launches Sh20 Billion Thiba Dam Project to Boost Rice Farming


By Nicholas Komu
President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday launched the construction of the Sh20 billion Thiba Dam in Kirinyaga County as he railed against the country's fixation with politics, despite the campaign period being over.Accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, the President accused opposition leaders of seeking to derail his agenda by always engaging in politics."I am only in power for five years. After that, they will run against Ruto. Let me finish my projects in peace," he said at Rukenya in Gichugu Constituency.
MEDIA
The Head of State also accused the media of feeding the country with politics daily."I do not even watch TV nowadays because it is dominated by the so-called political analysts yet the campaign period is over. The analysts do not help us," he added as Mr
Ruto asked political leaders to now focus their energy on development.
Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa was also at the ground breaking ceremony at the dam's proposed site.
The project is expected to be completed in the next three years.
Once completed, rice production is projected to double from the current 80,000 to 160,000 tonnes a year.
The increase in yields is expected to be enabled by doubling the production seasons of rice and horticultural crops, as well as improving the production of rice and other crops by expanding the total cultivated area from 19,400 acres to about 41,810 acres in the project area.
FOOD
Part of the dam's funding will come from the Japanese Government, which has kept its initial pledge of Sh12 billion while the Kenyan Government will contribute Sh5 billion.
The project will be supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica), which will oversee the construction of the dam.
During the event, the President received bags of rice and goats from Kirinyaga Senator Charles Kibiru as a gift from the county's residents.
On Thursday, President Kenyatta said the dam was the first step in ensuring that Kenya becomes food-sufficient.
"Food security is a key agenda in our manifesto and this is a first step towards that. We do not want to be importing rice from foreign nations or seeking food aid every time there is drought. We need to work to become self-sufficient as a nation," he said.
The Deputy President said the dam was the first of 57 others that the government has pledged to construct in the next five years as part of the Jubilee manifesto.
The project is also expected to create employment for local youth, with the President telling Mr Wamalwa to ensure that 1,000 youths from the area benefit directly from jobs at the site.
COMPETITION
He added that part of the money allocated to the project must go to residents.
The Head of State further warned county governments against fighting the national government on development issues.
"We are not in competition so there should be no fighting between county and national governments. We serve the same goal of bettering lives of Kenyans so let us join hands and work towards that," he said.
Infighting among leaders is one of the hindrances that the project has faced since former President Mwai Kibaki's regime.
The President had been forced to weigh in on its future on several occasions and in the past even warned of campaigning against local leaders who stood in the way of the project.
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru pledged to invite investors to set up hotels, an 18-hole golf course and an estate with efforts to promoting the dam as a landmark attraction site.
INVESTORS
"We will be inviting interested investors to set up a golf course that will make the county a hub for golfers and an attraction site for local and international tourists," she said.
The project had also been delayed by court battles at the expense of rice farmers who put their hopes on its actualisation to boost their farming.
The court wrangles emerged over compensations of hundreds of families who were displaced to pave way the for the dam's construction and at some point, some were reported to have started moving back to the area, citing lack of compensation.
Some of the families, who had been identified for compensation, had earlier complained that the valuation of their parcels of land had not been done by the National Land Commission as required by law. They said a private firm was hired to carry out the valuation.
The 132 farmers also argued that the irrigation board only compensated landowners, living out their children and other vulnerable groups. Most of the affected families have already been compensated but 20 per cent are yet to be paid.
However, the government said it is addressing the matter

Pakistan Agriculture boost by CPEC

Pakistan's principal natural agriculture country .GDP and employs about 43% of the labor force. The most agricultural province is Punjab where wheat and cotton are the most grown. Mango orchards are mostly found in Sindh and Punjab provinces that make Pakistan the world's 4th largest producer of mangoes.
Pakistan is one of the world's largest producers and suppliers of food and crops according to the different sources Chickpea (3rd),Apricot (6th),Cotton (4th),Milk (8th),Date Palm (5th),Sugarcane (5th),Onion (7th),Kinnow, mandarin oranges, clementine (6th),Mango (4th),Wheat (7th),Rice (11th) .Pakistan ranks eighth worldwide in farm output, according to the List of countries by GDP sector composition.
According to the Economic Survey of Pakistan, the livestock sector contributes about half of the value added in the agriculture sector, amounting to nearly 11 per cent of Pakistan's GDP, which is more than the crop sector. Fishery and fishing industry plays an important role in the national economy of Pakistan. With a coastline of about 1046 km, Pakistan has enough fishery resources that remain to be fully developed.
It is generally the primary source of income and employment in rural areas. Agriculture sector of Pakistan has continuously been facing downfall during the last one decade. Worst energy crisis during the recent years might be one of the major reasons behind such down turn.
CPEC includes provisions for cooperation in management of water resources, livestock, and other fields of agriculture. Under the plan, agricultural information project, storage and distribution of agricultural equipment and construction project, agricultural mechanization, demonstration and machinery leasing project and fertilizer production project for producing 800,000 tons of fertilizer and 100,000 tons of bio-organic fertilizer will be implemented.
Economic benefits that can be gauged from various initiatives of CPEC particularly the infrastructural development. The literature affirms strong relationship between development of infrastructure and agricultural output. This shows that projects in CPEC would play an important role in uplift of agriculture sector in Pakistan.
It is fact that development of infrastructure will bring a positive change in agriculture output which would increase the supply of agriculture commodities but the question is, has government taken steps to export that stock as Pakistan has already increasing stock of rice and wheat every year.
China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is one of the best examples of such partnerships. The overall launching time span of CPEC spreads from 2014 to 2030. The short term, midterm-term and long-term projects are estimated to be completed by 2017, 2025 and 2030 respectively. The estimated construction cost for these projects is $46 billion. It is the network of highways, railways, pipelines, transport, oil, gas and energy. Agriculture sector would be a direct as well as indirect beneficiary of CPEC via development in backward and forward linkages
 National Development and Reform Commission and China Development Bank, emphasize that the agricultural sector is a major part of CPEC. China Pakistan Economic Corridor would deliver massive networks of transportation that will connect Khunjerab in the north to Gwadar in the south-west. This would boost the economic conditions of several remote rural towns, especially the ones relying on primary industry, as the transportation and delivery times to urban centers and markets would be reduced considerably.
China is the world’s largest importer of agricultural products. Population of 1.3 billion people, China consumes almost $1 trillion worth of food every year. Chinese consumption patterns are also changing, and demand for high quality imported food items is growing at a pace much faster than population growth.
China, the world’s largest importer of vegetables, gets 50 of these imports from the US and Brazil. Pakistan, being China’s neighbor, therefore enjoys a unique advantage and CPEC provides an unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on that.
 CPEC’s long-term plan, a study by the National Development and Reform Commission and China Development Bank, emphasize that the agricultural sector is a major beneficiary of CPEC.
 Export raw material and agricultural products to China and other countries as CPEC promises to improve Pakistan’s trade integration with the Global economy. It is very important to determine the growing influence of CPEC and its impact on the sector as rural employment and agro-based industrial output are directly related with the agricultural sector.
Thousands of acres of land will be leased to Chinese firms to set up “demonstration projects” focusing on areas such as seed varieties and irrigation technology. World Bank said agriculture sector and Chinese-led infrastructure development would lead to 5.5 percent growth in Pakistan’s economy during the fiscal year 2017-18.

Nigeria Very Close to Achieving Self-Sufficiency in Rice - Minister


The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed , and the SA to the Minister, Mr. Segun Adeyemi , at a press conference on the giant stride of the Buhari Administration in rice production....in Abuja on Wednesday.
The Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has drastically cut rice importation and moved Nigeria very close to achieving self-sufficiency in rice, a major staple food in the country, in just two years, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister quoting figures from the Thailand Rice Exporters Association - said rice importation from Thailand, which supplies the bulk of the parboiled rice being imported into Nigeria, dropped from 644,131 Metric Tonnes to about 21,000 MT between September 2015 and September 2017.
"We are happy to tell Nigerians of a giant stride made by the Administration in the agriculture sector, specifically rice production: Nigeria is inching closer to achieving self-sufficiency in rice, due to the success recorded by the Administration in the local production of rice," he said.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, addressing a press conference on the giant stride of the Buhari Administration in rice production ... in Abuja on Wednesday.
Alhaji Mohammed said that as a result of the Administration's success in local production, some investors from Thailand have even shown interest in establishing rice milling plants in Nigeria, a development he said would further boost rice production in Nigeria.
"A few years ago, this (Thai investors establishing rice mills in Nigeria) would not have been possible since Nigeria was not considered a top rice producing country. Today, Nigeria is one of the largest producers of rice," he said.
The Minister said the increase in rice production across the country did not happen by accident, but was largely due to the Anchor Borrowers' Programme, initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari to support farmers through inputs distribution and loans to boost rice production, and the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative, among others.
He said the increased rice production has, in turn, led to the establishment of rice mills, including the 120,000MT WACOT Mill in
Kebbi and the 1,000,000MT Dangote Rice Mill.
Alhaji Mohammed said with the Administration targetting rice production of 7 million MT by 2018, the country was closer than ever to achieving self-sufficiency in rice, going by the fact that as at 2015, rice demand in the country was 6.3 million MT.
He said the increased production was bound to force down the price of locally-produced rice and provide succor to Nigerians.
The press conference was the latest in a series initiated by the Minister of Information and Culture to highlight the achievements of the Buhari Administration.
