DOF: Replacing rice import quota with 35%
tariff to slash prices by P7 per kilo
By: Ben O. de Vera
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 04:37 PM December 18,
2017
Removing the quota on rice imports and
instead slapping them with a 35-percent tariff rate will bring down domestic
prices by up to P7 a kilo, the Department of Finance said Monday.
In an economic bulletin, Finance
Undersecretary and chief economist Gil S. Beltran said a 35-percent import duty
on rice “would encourage private traders to bring in the staple into the
country, which would, in turn, allow the influx of cheaper rice in the domestic
market.”
Also, “a reduction in rice prices would be
beneficial to the majority of poor households that spend at least 20 percent of
their budget for rice,” Beltran said, such that about 730,000 Filipinos can be
lifted from poverty by rice tariffication.
“Pulling
down rice prices is crucial to poverty reduction because this staple is a major
driver of inflation,” Beltran noted.
According to Beltran, “the proposed
tariffication will generate P27.3 billion, which the government can use to
augment funding for social protection projects like cash transfers for the
poorest families as well as for palay productivity programs.”
Cash transfers would slash poverty
incidence by as much as 3 percent, Beltran said.
“Instead of subsidizing imports, the
national government could reallocate its funds to invest in public goods and
services that directly benefit the farmers. These include farm-to-market roads,
irrigation, and storage which reduce production and marketing costs,” according
to Beltran.
Rice tariffication will also lead to the
planned reorganization of the National Food Authority, the Finance official
said.
“The NFA, which is empowered to import rice
and regulate rice imports, has so far received a total of P187 billion in tax
subsidies for its imports of the grain from 2005 t0 2015, or an average of P19
billion a year… Given that import quotas will be eliminated, the private sector
is encouraged to increase importations, thereby reducing import requirements of
the NFA and its financial burden to the government,” he pointed out.
“The NFA can now reorganize and limit its
function on proprietary activities, in particular buffer stocking for food
security and calamities, and local procurement. Note that in its present
state, the NFA loses about P11 billion annually, even after operating subsidy
of P5 billion average per year, from 2005 to 2015 and has an accumulated debt
of P155.84 billion as of end of September 2016,” he added.
According to Beltran, “the Philippines
ranks fourth when compared with five other Asian countries (Vietnam, Thailand,
India, China and Indonesia) in terms of palay production cost.”

“The country’s average cost in producing
this staple is about 10 percent higher than those for these Asian countries and
48 percent higher than the least cost producer,” he said.
The state-run think tank Philippine
Institute for Development Studies had proposed to slap a 35-percent tariff rate
on imported rice in lieu of the removal of the Philippines’ quantitative
restrictions (QR) or quota on rice importation.
To ultimately remove the QR, the over
one-decade-old Republic Act No. 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act of
1996, which had put the rice import quota in place, must be amended.
In 2014, the World Trade Organization
allowed the Philippines to extend its QR on rice until June 30, 2017, in a bid
to buy more time for local farmers to prepare for free trade in light of the
government’s goal of achieving rice self-sufficiency.
Since the government imposes a quota on
rice imports, domestic prices are vulnerable to shocks resulting from meager
supply.
The QR puts the burden of rice supply and
demand to the government, whereas the market forces are being limited by the quota
system.
Pundits say importation should be done by
the private sector in order to allow market forces to determine prices.
The extended QR slaps 35-percent duty on
imported rice under a minimum access volume (MAV) of 805,200 metric tons.
Importation outside of the MAV limit are levied a higher tariff of 50 percent.
The Philippines’ most favored nation
rate—the additional tariff imposed when imported outside of Asean—on the
commodity remains at about 40 percent.
In 1995, the WTO allowed the Philippines to
impose a 10-year quota system for rice importation.
The QR was extended in 2004, and then
lapsed in 2012, before again renewed in 2014. /je

Rice Production To See High Yields
GNA
Rice yields are projected to rise
by at least four folds following the implementation of the Rice Seed Scaling
project, which has ensured increased availability of certified seeds for
cultivation.This will help in reducing rice
importation into the country, which currently stands at approximately 550,000
metric tonnes per year at a cost of between $300 million to $600 million per
annum. Mr Gary Mullins, Chief of Party of the Agriculture Technology Transfer
project of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said
at a stakeholders' workshop to end the Rice Seed Scaling project at Nyankpala,
near Tamale.
The Rice Seed Scaling project was
implemented from 2015 to 2017 by AfricaRice and the Savannah Agricultural
Research Institute (SARI) amongst other partners with funding from USAID to
stimulate the development of a sustainable rice seed system in the northern
part of the country.
The project trained technicians
from SARI on breeder seed production while private seed companies were also
trained on foundation and certified seed production and seed business
management to ensure continuous production of early generation and certified
seeds for cultivation.
During the project period, rice
farmers' access to and cultivation of quality certified seeds such as AGRA Rice
and Jasmine Rice increased, which was significant for the development of the
country's rice system.
Mr Mullins said efforts would be
made to disseminate the productivity-enhancing technologies to more farmers to
join efforts in stemming the flood of rice imports into the country.
Mr Boubakary Cissé, Seed Expert
and Country Coordinator of the Rice Seed Scaling project, said the project had
re-established trust for various classes of seed amongst farmers, which was
essential for the sustainability of the rice sector.
Mr Cissé expressed the need for
all actors in the rice sector to consolidate the project achievements through
backstopping, on-the-job training, establishment of demonstration plots and
media campaigns to ensure increased cultivation of certified rice seeds for
increased yields.
Mr William Boakye-Acheampong,
Northern Regional Director of the Department of Agriculture urged private
sector to take advantage of the project by ensuring the availability of
certified seeds for cultivation.
Mr Martin Pwayidi, Organizing
Secretary of Seed Producers Association of Ghana, Upper East Region, said the
project helped to ensure technology transfer for stakeholders assuring that
seed producers would work to ensure availability of certified seeds.

Non-Basmati rice market
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Industry sources said that while
African nations are the biggest market for non-Basmati rice, there are emerging
markets where a large Indian diaspora is settled.
Currently, according to a leading
rice exporter based in Andhra Pradesh, exports of non-Basmati rice has not been
affected.
“Most of the non-Basmati rice is
exported to African nations where the pesticide control protocols are not
strict. Testing protocols are also limited,” the exporter said.
Exported variety
The rice exported to Africa is the long grain white rice or par
boiled rice sourced from Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and
Bengal, and the Sona Masuri variety from Karnataka.
Arkansas -- national leader in rice
production -- experiences solid harvest
Dec 16, 2017
Arkansas rice producers expect a harvest of about 164 bushels
per acre -- the fourth highest on record.
Cooperative Extension Service
STUTTGART – A growing season of
drought, flood and do-overs may still result in the fourth highest state
average yield on record for Arkansas’ rice growers, the nation’s top producer
of that commodity.
Jarrod Hardke, extension rice
agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said
that this “growing season was a mixed bag.”
Arkansas growers planted 1.16
million acres of rice in 2017, down 25 percent from the previous year. Long
grain acres declined from 1.41 million acres in 2016 to 995,000 million in
2017. Medium grain acres expanded from 135,000 in 2016 to 165,000 in 2017.
“Our planting progress was the
second-fastest on record behind 2012 but was followed by severe flooding
affecting hundreds of thousands of acres in late April and early May,” he said.
“As a result of this flooding, some fields were lost and had to be replanted,
while others lost levees that had to be re-pulled, resulting in loss of
production on levees.”
At that point, rice futures
exploded even higher, said Scott Stiles, extension economist for the Division
of Agriculture.
“The closely followed September
contract made its lows for the year in the last week of April -- trading as low
as $9.65 per hundredweight,” he said. “By mid-September when the contract
expired, it had touched $12.76 in its final week of trading. It was a
phenomenal run. From the end of April, the September contract closed higher in
14 of the 20 weeks that followed.”
Continued rainfall throughout the
spring and summer made timely fertilizer and herbicide applications difficult.
“Despite these difficulties,
regular rainfall reduced irrigation costs and improved flood management, and
overall mild summer conditions resulted in excellent yields and improved
quality compared to recent years,” Hardke said. “The state average yield is
likely to be fourth highest on record at 164 bushels per acre or greater. Only
2012, with 166 bushels per acre, 2013’s 168 bushels per acre and 2014’s 168
bushels per acre have been greater.”
“At this point the USDA is
optimistic growers will see higher prices for the 2017 crop,” Stiles said.
“Long-grain production is
projected to be down 24 percent from last year on lower acreage,” he said.
“Ending stocks are expected to tighten considerably from 31 million
hundredweight in 2016 to 16.5 million by the end of 2017 marketing year.”
In its December supply/demand
report, USDA’s average producer price for 2017 long-grain was projected at
$12.10 per hundredweight or $5.45 per bushel.
“That would be up $1.11 from last
year’s $4.34 per bushel,” Stiles said.

Typhoons,
pests to cut Q4 rice output
December 18, 2017
Paddy production in the fourth
quarter would be lower than 7.45 million metric tons (MMT) due to the onslaught
of typhoons and pests, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
In its report, titled “Updates on
October-December 2017 Palay and Corn Forecasts,” which was published recently,
the PSA revised downward its projection for unmilled rice production in the
fourth quarter due to the losses incurred by the palay sector in
recent months. From its initial forecast of 7.45 MMT for the October-to-December period, the PSA now sees output at 7.4 MMT.
recent months. From its initial forecast of 7.45 MMT for the October-to-December period, the PSA now sees output at 7.4 MMT.
“The probable decrement in palay
production may be attributed to: effects of continuous rains during
reproductive and maturing stages of the crop which resulted to lodging of crop
in Mindoro Occidental, Isabela, Kalinga, Rizal, Aurora and Quirino;
damaged brought by Typhoon Odette and aggravated monsoon rains in Cagayan,” the
report read.
“Harvest area may decline by 0.1
percent, from 1.86 million hectares. Likewise, yield per hectare may decline to
3.97 metric tons [MT] from 3.99 MT,” it added.
The PSA said typhoons Maring,
Paolo and Ramil cut palay output in the provinces of Laguna, Quezon, Zamboanga
Norte and Mindoro Oriental.
Rice-bug and stem-borer
infestations in Iloilo and Sultan Kudarat, as well as the occurrence of
bacterial-blight blast and dead-heart diseases in Iloilo contributed to the
downward revision of palay forecast in the fourth quarter, according to the
PSA.
“About 1.19 million hectares, or
64.2 percent, of the updated standing crop have been harvested,”
it added.
it added.
The PSA said 345,170 hectares, or
29.9 percent, of the farmers’ planting intentions for the first quarter of 2018
have already materialized.
In the October round of its
report, titled “Rice and Corn Situation Outlook,” the PSA said paddy output in
the fourth quarter would reach 7.45 MMT.
“Probable palay production for
the October-to-December period may surpass the 2016 level by 6.26 percent.
The anticipated increment in
output may be attributed to increase in yield resulting from sustained use of
high-yielding varieties coupled with sufficient water supply during the early
stages of crop development,” the PSA report read.
Despite the contraction in
harvest area to 1.86 million hectares, from last year’s record of 1.88 million
hectares, the report noted that yield per hectare may improve by nearly 6
percent to 3.99 MT, from 3.73 MT last year.
The PSA also revised downward its
projection for corn production in the fourth quarter to 1.62 MMT, from 1.63
MMT.
“[It] may be 6.2 percent below
than previous year’s level of 1.73 million MT,” the PSA report read. “Harvest
area may remain at 568,480 hectares. Yield may lessen to 2.85 MT per hectare
from 2.88 MT level.”
The PSA said the revision in its
forecast was brought about by damages caused by flash floods and typhoons in
corn areas of Isabela, Zamboanga City, South Cotabato and
Zamboanga Norte.

Removing quantity restrictions on
rice imports could slash price by P7, DOF says
(philstar.com) | Updated December 18, 2017 - 10:00pm
The Department of Finance said that removing quantitative
restrictions on rice imports could result in lower prices and lift hundreds of
thousands from the poverty trap. File
MANILA, Philippines — Removing
quantitative restrictions on rice imports in favor of tariffs could slash the
prices of the country's staple food by as much as P7 and lift hundreds of thousands
of Filipinos from poverty, according to the Department of Finance.
Finance Undersecretary Gil Beltran
said in an economic bulletin on rice sector reform that a 35-percent import
tariff on rice, instead of restricting the volume of rice imported into the
country, would encourage the private sector to bring more amounts of the grain
into the local market, resulting in more affordable prices.
A reduction in the price of rice
would, in turn, benefit a majority of poor households which spent at least 20
percent of their budget for the staple grain, the Finance department said,
citing data provided by the National Economic and Development Authority. Rice
is also a major driver of inflation, according to Beltran, the Finance
department's chief economist.
Quantitative restrictions allow the
country to limit the volume of rice imports with a tariff of 35 percent.
Imports outside the designated volume would result in a higher tariff rate.
Beltran said that at an expected
import rate of 35 percent the government would generate P27.3 billion which it
could use to fund social protection programs such as cash transfers to poor
families and palay (unhusked rice) productivity programs.
These cash transfers, Beltran said,
could cut poverty incidence by as much as three percent and lift 730,000 people
from the poverty trap.
“The tariff revenues that will be
generated from rice imports can augment the funds used for the government's
social welfare programs for the poor (e.g., Conditional Cash Transfer) and rice
productivity programs that will enhance efficiency. Tariff revenue is estimated
at P27.3 billion annually from 2017 to 2023,” Beltran said.
According to Finance Secretary
Carlos Dominguez III, one of the key objectives of President Rodrigo Duterte is
to transform the country into an upper middle-income economy and cut poverty
rate from 21.6 percent to 14 percent by 2022.
Beltran said that the national
government could reallocate funds intended for import subsidies to investments
in public goods and services that could directly benefit farmers and reduce
production and marketing costs such as farm-to-market roads, irrigation and
storage facilities.
Lifting quantitative restrictions
would also lead to a reorganization of the National Food Authority, which
received P187 billion in subsidies for its imports from 2005 to 2015, an
average of P19 billion per year.
“The NFA can now reorganize and
limit its function on proprietary activities, in particular buffer stocking for
food security and calamities, and local procurement. Note that in its
present state, the NFA loses about P11 billion annually, even after operating
subsidy of P5 billion average per year, from 2005 to 2015 and has an
accumulated debt of P155.84 billion as of end of September 2016,” Beltran said.
“Given that import quotas will be
eliminated, the private sector is encouraged to increase importations, thereby
reducing import requirements of the NFA and its financial burden to the
government,” he added
Nigeria slashes rice importation burden by 65%
…spends N430.5bn on imports
Nigeria has achieved 56 per cent
rice production in the last one year, leaving a deficit of 2 million tons to
meet local demand.
The country’s consumption is 4.5 million metric tons annually but the country still depends on foreign rice to meet its huge appetite.
It was learnt that despite the refusal of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to grant letter of credit, importers have succeeded in importing 2.3 million metric tons of rice valued at N430.5billion ($1,20billion) in 2017. Average price of parboil rice at the global market is $520 per metric ton since November 2017.

Average price of parboil rice at the global market is $520 per metric ton since November 2017.
Findings revealed that the
country has not attained 90 per cent local production as claimed by the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as local production is just four
million tons of paddy rice.
According to the Secretary of
Rice Millers, Importers and Distributors Association of Nigeria (RIMIDAN),
Shaibu Mohammed, the country’s production is only 2.5million tons or 56 per
cent out of the four million paddy.
Mohammed feared that it would be
difficult for the country to end importation or achieve self-sufficiency in
rice production by 2018 due to continued importation of parboil rice from
Thailand and other countries.
He stressed that the gap between
demand and supply was still huge.
He said: “If we produce four million tons of paddies, your yield, which is the finished product, will be about 56 per cent. Which means the head rice you get will be about 2.5million tons out of four million paddy.”
He said: “If we produce four million tons of paddies, your yield, which is the finished product, will be about 56 per cent. Which means the head rice you get will be about 2.5million tons out of four million paddy.”
It would be recalled that CBN
stopped issuing Form M to rice importers in 2015 in order to encourage local
production.
However, New Telegraph findings revealed that regardless of the restriction, a total of 2. 4million tons were shipped into the country in 2016, while the country has so far imported 2.3 million tons this year, leaving a difference of only 100,000 tons.

In 2016, CBN complained that the
amount spent on rice importation between January 2012 and May 2015 had led to a
huge stock of unsold paddy rice cultivated by Nigerian farmers and low
operating capacities of many integrated rice mills in Nigeria.
The Controller of the Nigeria
Customs Service (NCS)’s Federal Operation Unit, Comptroller Mohammed Uba, explained
that the rice coming legally through the port had been ordered based on
contractual agreement between importers and the sellers before the CBN embargo.
The controller said that Federal
Government was serious about rice production in the country.
He said: “If you see any rice at the port, it must be a contractual agreement spanning two years by the importers and the sellers. In the last two years, CBN has never issued Form M or letter of credit to rice importers.”
He said: “If you see any rice at the port, it must be a contractual agreement spanning two years by the importers and the sellers. In the last two years, CBN has never issued Form M or letter of credit to rice importers.”
However, Uba said that the
invasion of foreign smuggled rice through the land border was frustrating
government efforts to boost local production, which had crashed prices of
foreign rice.
Last year, NCS impounded some rice worth N597.7 billion smuggled into the country through the land borders between January and August 2016.

The service said that the value
of the grain seized in the period was N267.2 billion higher than N330.5 billion
rice seized in the same period in 2015.
It explained: “Over half of imports in 2015 entered from neighboring Benin where the duty on rice is only 12 per cent. Nigerian consumes parboiled rice exclusively, but Benin prefers white rice, it is easy to deduce that the 85 per cent share of Benin imports that are parboiled are bound for Nigeria through the orchestrations of clever traders.”

TRAIN concerns
delay passage of rice QR bill
December 18, 2017
The passage of a measure amending
the Republic Act (RA) 8178 seeking to abolish the quantitative restriction (QR)
on rice is now facing delays as Congress focused on the 2018 national budget
and the proposed Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act.
House Committee on Agriculture
and Food Chairman Jose T. Panganiban Jr. of Anac-IP said lawmakers will start
discussing the measure scrapping the rice QR and converting it into tariffs at
the plenary next year.
“The discussion and the passage
of the measure will be next year,” Panganiban told the BusinessMirror.
The passage of the bill allowing the tariffication of rice is included in the
priority bills earlier identified as urgent by the Legislative-Executive
Development Advisory Council.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means and the House Committee on Agriculture and Food have already endorsed the
measure for plenary approval before Congress went on a Christmas break last
week. Panganiban had wanted Congress to approve the measure before its
Christmas break onDecember 13.
But discussion on the bill had to
be deferred as lawmakers prioritized the passage of the proposed P3.7-trillion
national budget for 2018 and the tax-reform program.
Contentious provisions in the
TRAIN measure forced lawmakers in the congressional bicameral conference
committee to work overtime so they can finalize and ratify the bill before
their Christmas break.
The House Committee on
Agriculture and Food has set the bound tariff rate for rice imports outside the
minimum access volume (MAV) at 180 percent. Under the bill, the Philippines
will impose a bound tariff rate of 35 percent for rice originating from the Association
of Southeast Asian Nations region, regardless of its volume. Manila would
also impose a 40-percent bound tariff most-favored nation rate for in-quota
rice imports from countries that do not belong to the Asean.
Once the substitute bill is
enacted into law, the country’s MAV for rice shall revert to its 2012 level at
350,000 metric tons (MT), from the current 805,000 MT.
Earlier, Socioeconomic Planning
Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia told the BusinessMirror that the President’s
economic team would like Congress to pass the law scrapping the QR by the end
of the year so the country can start imposing rice tariffs by the first quarter
of 2018.
The authority to set bound
tariffs is vested in Congress. But, under the Customs Modernization and Tariff
Act, the President, upon the recommendation of the National Economic and
Development Authority, has the power to modify the tariffs applied on
Philippine imports.
The Philippines is under pressure
to convert its QR on rice into ordinary customs duties after its waiver on the
special treatment on rice expired on June 30. The World Trade Organization
(WTO) General Council approved the waiver, which allowed Manila to keep its
rice QR until June 30, on the condition that the Philippines will subject its
rice imports to ordinary custom duties by July 1.
In March the Philippines informed
WTO members that it is facing delays in converting the QR because it has not
amended RA 8178, which imposed the import caps on rice indefinitely. As a sign
of “goodwill” to its trading partners, President Duterte signed Executive Order
23 in July to extend the concessions made by the Philippines in securing the
waiver in 2014.

Kpodo Farmers’
Cooperative Capacity Enhanced
December 18, 2017
In continuation of efforts to
build the capacity of several agribusinesses in Liberia for the improvement of
the country’s food security, the Liberia Agribusiness Development Activity
(LADA), last Thursday delivered a high capacity generator (80kva) to the Kpodo
Farmers Cooperative in Zayglay, Nimba County.
The generator is part of other
agro equipment and machinery, including power tillers and integrated rice mills
that LADA is procuring under its matching grant fund that will upgrade the
processing capacity of cooperatives to produce 10 metric tons (200 50kg bags)
of rice daily to meet the increasing local market demand for processed rice.
Founded in May 31, 1981 by a
group of farmers in Zayglay, Nimba County, Kpodo has grown into a diversified
aggregation and processing company active in the rice, cassava, cocoa and
vegetable value chains. The cooperative is comprised of men and women and
is divided into 6 sub-groups, by communities and farming groups.
LADA, a ‘Feed the Future’ United
States Government initiative, has partnered with Kpodo and other cooperatives
to increase the production of rice to help reduce rice imports in Liberia. The
cooperative supplies clean processed rice to the World Food Program (WFP) for
school feeding as well as to the Liberian government.
LADA’s Nimba County Coordinator,
Thomas Gayeplue, told 100 smallholder farmers last Thursday in the village of
Zayglay, during the generator delivery, that “the generator will serve as a
power supply to enable the processing plant to produce enough rice for the
market. It is a good will of the people and government of America to ensure
that your current processing capacity is upgraded to increase the production of
rice.”
He challenged the farmers to
cultivate larger farms to constantly supply the plant, adding: “We want you to
work harder to expand production for a reliable and stable rice market. You are
also to receive a rice mill shortly that will upgrade your processing
capacity.”
The chairman of the Kpodo Farmers
Cooperative, Peter Sarkpeder, said that members of the cooperative were
thankful to the government and people of America for the donation. Sarkpeder
stated that with their level of involvement in rice cultivation, residents in
and around Zayglay are no longer depending on imported rice.
“With this generator, we are
challenged to grow more rice to supply the market. Our cooperative produced the
majority of the paddy rice from 64.1 hectares lowland rice field. We also buy
paddy rice by partnering with over 300 smallholder rice farmers in 40
communities in Nimba County. Therefore, we are hopeful that the increased
assistance provided by LADA through USAID will be used for the intended
purpose,” he said.

Unregistered
Rice: NAFDAC Tells Anambra To Suspend Production, Sale
The National Agency for Food and
Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has called on the Anambra Government
to suspend production and sale of all unregistered rice labelled “Anambra
Rice’’.
Mrs Christiana Essenwa, a Deputy
Director of NAFDAC, made the call on Monday during a visit to the state
Ministry of Agriculture in Awka.
Essenwa said that the call became
imperative following a petition forwarded to NAFDAC by Stine Industries, Nnewi,
over the alleged counterfeiting and illegal use of the trade mark by the state
government.
“Sometime this year, a
petitioner, Stine Industries, came to our office with a petition that their
products were being re-packaged illegally by some rice processors.
“Stine Industries came to NAFDAC
with a Certificate of Incorporation and the trade mark in 2016 for NAFDAC
registration number but the state government surfaced with the same trade mark
in 2017.
“There is no way the Ministry of
Commerce and Industry can give one trade mark to two individuals or companies.
“We went on a raid and discovered
that in truth, there were products branded ‘Anambra Rice’ but with no NAFDAC
registration number,” she said.
The deputy director stressed that
there were a lot of dangers in consuming unregistered food items, including
rice.
According to her, rice has the
tendency of harbouring aflatoxin and heavy metals called arsenic, which can
cause cancer and kidney diseases.
“The Federal Government is
pleased with efforts to promote the local industry but at the same time, it is
concerned with the health of the people.
“The idea here is not to
witch-hunt the rice processors or to throw them out of business but our aim is
solely to protect the consumers,” she said.
Essenwa said that the suspension
was aimed at enabling the state government and Stine Industries to resolve
their differences, while maintaining good manufacturing policies for food
production in the country.
Responding, Mr Leo Imoka, the
Permanent Secretary in the ministry, appealed to the agency to give more time
to the two parties resolve their differences.
He said that the state government
was taking steps to acquire appropriate marketing authorisation for its rice
production concerns.
He said that the state government
had registered the trade mark with the Federal Ministry of Trade, Investment
and Industry for the production of five commodities, including cassava, honey
and rice.
“This is because we heard that
the Federal Government wanted to ban rice and that states should help in the
mass production of rice, knowing the disadvantages of importing rice.
“The state government keyed into
all off-taker programmes for rice production in the country, which has
attracted a lot of rice farmers, processors and marketers and led to an
increase in rice production.
“In order not to make the rice
affordable to our citizens, we opened with the brand name `Anambra Rice’ to
differentiate our rice from that of other rice producers until we are able to
register under an umbrella with NAFDAC.’’
Imoka said that an
inter-ministerial committee was set up by the government to accredit rice
producers and processors so as to ensure that only those with standard
production environment were allowed to use the brand name.
Sri Lanka, China commemorate 65th anniversary of Rubber-Rice Pact
Source:
Xinhua| 2017-12-19 00:52:17|Editor: yan
COLOMBO, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka and China on Monday
exchanged plaques of friendship commemorating the 65th anniversary of the
Rubber-Rice Pact agreement which was signed between the two countries in 1952.
The celebratory event was held in capital Colombo and attended
by Sri Lanka's Speaker of Parliament Karu Jayasuriya, Charge d'Affaires of the
Chinese embassy in Sri Lanka Pang Chunxue and relatives of both Sri Lankan and
Chinese ministers who signed the pact 65 years ago.
Jayasuriya said at the event that the friendship between China
and Sri Lanka had strengthened since the signing of the agreement, and he
thanked China for always supporting the island country.
"I would not really call the Pact a trade agreement but I
would call this an agreement of friendship. At that time, in 1952, rice had
become a very politically sensitive commodity in Sri Lanka and we were facing a
severe shortage," Jayasuriya said.
The friendship between China and Sri Lanka dates back to a long
time ago and is stepping into a new phase under the framework of the Belt and
Road Initiative, said Pang.

400 sacks of
paddy seized from middlemen
December 18 2017
Malkangiri: Officials of the civil supplies department Monday seized
400 packets of paddy, kept to be smuggled out, from the backyard of a house
near MV-17 under Sadar block in this district.
While the seized sacks have been kept at Shiv Shankar Rice Mill
here, a person is being quizzed over the matter, civil supplies officer (CSO)
Abhimanyu Mohanty said.
Acting on some inputs, the sub-collector asked the civil
supplies department to seize the consignment.
According to reports, the brokers usually purchase paddy from
needy farmers at throwaway prices and sell them at higher prices to millers at
the procurement centres. They also smuggle out paddy to other states, it was
learnt.
The district administration has its kept eyes on the middlemen
who are trying to lure farmers to sell their produce at price lower than the
government-fixed MSP, an official said.
Earlier, the administration had seized hundreds of paddy packets
and identified eight middlemen who were selling paddy at a mandi in Padia block
after collecting the stock from farmers, it was learnt.
The officials recently seized paddy consignments from a godown
near MV-79.
The brokers mostly purchase paddy at the rate of Rs 1,000 per
quintal from farmers and sell them at Rs 1,500 at the mandis, claimed the
members of a farmers’ outfit who appreciated the move by the administration.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the 400 sacks of paddy
were bought from the farmers and stored to be supplied to other states, CSO
Mohanty said. PNN
Graft axe on food supply officials
- Vigilance stick for financial
irregularities
First published on 18-Dec-2017
SUBHAS PANIGRAHI
Sambalpur: A nexus between senior
food and civil supplies officials and rice millers has come to fore with the
suspension of three department officials in Jharsuguda district.
District collector Bibhuti Bhusan
Patnaik on Saturday issued the order to suspend the district civil supplies
officer P.D.M. Khosla and his deputy, assistant civil supplies officer Sandeep
Guru.
According to official sources, the
duo were suspended after a series of investigations revealed that they were
involved in favouring the owner of Bajrang Rice Mill, situated at Pandripada in
the district, and misappropriating about Rs 8.20 crore of rice during the
kharif season.
Earlier, the district administration
had suspended the accounts supervisor of the same department, Chintamani Naik,
for negligence on duty when it was found that the Rs1.5 crore bank guarantee
provided by the mill's owner, Dilip Agrawalla, to be fake. The incident came to
light when Bajrang Rice Mill was allotted 79,388 quintals of paddy for milling.
The owner was supposed to provide 53,894 quintals of rice before September 20.
But he deposited only 19,409 quintals and fled, after locking up the mill.
Khosla, the civil supplies officer, did not report the matter to the State
Civil Supplies Corporation.
After Bajrang Rice Mill failed to
deposit the remaining 34,574 quintals, the managing director of the
corporation, Niranjan Naik, directed Khosla to seize the Rs 1.5 crore bank
guarantee on November 22.
However, the district supply
officials kept silent on the matter. After repeated directives from the
corporation's Bhubaneswar office, the civil supplies officer intimated the bank
authorities to seize the amount. But the bank authorities found that
Agrawalla's document was fake.
Following this, accounts supervisor
Naik was suspended on charges of accepting the bank guarantee without verification.
No hope for better rate for Vid paddy growers
Nagpur: Paddy growers of the region, hit by pest
attack on their crop, have little chances that shortfall in output would lead
to rates of the commodity escalate and cover their losses. This year rice
millers are paying Rs3,200 a quintal. Its higher than the last year when the
prices were in the range of Rs2,700-2,900 a quintal.
Farmers claim that the pest has damaged nearly 50% of the crop. The rates have to be Rs3,600 at least to earn a profit. Independent sources in the paddy growing area of east Vidarbha also say that the current price is only enough to break-even not leaving any surplus at the cultivators' hands.
Apart from pest attack, there are farms where paddy was not grown at all due to delayed rains.
A low supply can pull up the prices. Paddy is fetching a higher price as against last year, which the farmers say is not enough. Traders say that there is a little chance that the market rates will further go up.
This is because the output in one region alone does not impact the market rates. Due to favourable rains, there has been a good crop in southern states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, on account of which the prices would remain range bound.
"The crop down south is in abundance and due to which the rates may even go down further. The local varieties of rice have touched Rs5,000 a quintal in the bulk market, which is the peak. As arrivals increase the rates may further go down now," said Pratap Motwani secretary of Itwari Grain and Seeds Merchants Association.
The rates have gone up marginally but that is not because of fall in output in Vidarbha. Such ups and down happen in normal course. There is enough crop in the south which can pull down the rates in coming days. Some increase can be expected by February-March when arrivals fall, said another trader.

The higher rate of Rs3,200/quintal is available only if the farmers accept a post-dated cheque which can be encashed after nearly a month. For cash payment they have to settle at the last year's rate of Rs2,800 to 2,900 a quintal.
Paddy is grown in the districts of Bhandara, Gondia, Gadchiroli and parts of Chandrapur in East Vidarbha. It is the only crop taken by farmers in large parts of the districts.
"Farmers cannot wait till March and want money right after the harvest. Even at Rs3,200 a quintal it is not enough to recover the cost. Though it is slightly more than last year's level the losses due to pest attack are much more," said Deepak Hazare a farmer in Karachkheda village of Bhandara district
"As against 50 bags, the yield has come down to 25. There is no profit at even Rs3,200. In case a farmer wants cash payment then the rates are not more than Rs2,900 a quintal," said Sanjay Nimbarte of Chandori village in the district.
Multan trader running from pillar to post to get justice
ISLAMABAD: Ulfat Hussain is a Multan-based businessman, running a
couple of rice factories, is a member of the Rice Export Association of
Pakistan as well as a Corporate Member of the Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industries
(MCCI).
He was abducted on January 6, 2017 while he was returning from
Chiniot towards Multan. He came to know later that those who abducted him were
none others but the Punjab Police officials, including one official of the rank
of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
He was kept hostage in the private jails of an influential
political figure in absolutely inhuman and deplorable conditions. He was
tortured, humiliated, abused, and constantly threatened with his life for 6
days.
After six days Ulfat Hussain eventually succumbed to the demands
of his abductors when he was told by one of the policeman keeping watch on him
that he will be taken out in the night and would be killed in a fake police
encounter.
Trembling in fear, he agreed to pay Rs6 million as well as signed
some blank legal papers to be used in the court of law for withdrawing a case
he had filed. Only after that he was released.
All this started on January 6, 2017 and the ordeal ended on
January 11, 2017. During these 6 days he was kept chained by a fractured leg
which was still healing in a private jail of a local landlord, was tied
spread-eagled to a cot while ferocious dogs on leashes were brought to feast on
his flesh, was given food to eat and water to drink in the same pan and pot in
which the dogs were fed to name just a few methods of physical and mental
torture he was subjected to over these 6 days. The abductors also shifted him
from one place to other many a times.
A lesser being would have accepted all this as fate and would have
tried to keep a low profile after he was released by his captors, unfortunately
the police officials ranking from the constable right up to the officer of the
rank of the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
But Ulfat Hussain was not ready to be cowed down! On January 19,
2017 he filed an First Information Report (FIR) in the Gulgashat Police
Station, nominating 9 persons by name and their designations as well against
another 9 unknown persons, whom, he claimed, he can identify once seen physically.
It was indeed not easy for Ulfat Hussain to get the FIR registered against the
police officials who were involved in his kidnapping and had to approach the
court of law.
Over the last 11 months, Ulfat Hussain has been pursuing his case
and had already met with the Chief Secretary of the Punjab, the
Inspector-General of Police of Punjab and had even approached the 'Grievance
Cell' in the President's House in Islamabad.
A series of inquiries at different levels have already been
conducted in the matter and in each enquiry the police officials and the
civilians nominated in the FIR have been found guilty of all the crimes they
have been charged with by Ulfat Hussain.
However, the police continued to defy registering cases under CrPC
365-A, Article 156 of the Police Order and under Section 7ATA. Instead, the
police started mounting pressure from different sources on Ulfat Hussain to
reach a compromise. The police has been telling him to withdraw the names of
the police officials from his application that he has submitted for filing the
FIR and in return they would not only register the cases against the civilians
involved in the case but would also help him get some compensation as well.
However, when contacted, Multan police sources told The News that
they have checked the record and there was no such issue, so the allegation of
pressuring some applicant was totally baseless.
But Ulfat Hussain is not ready to budge under any kind of pressure
and is determined to pursue the case to the logical end. It is almost a year
now to the incident. He had been running from pillar to post. The Multan
Police, despite very straightforward directions from the IGP Punjab, as well as
orders from the then Regional Police Officer (RPO) is still refusing to
register the case against the police officials involved in the heinous crime of
abduction, illegal confinement in inhuman conditions, physical and mental
torture, and extortion.
So far Ulfat Hussain has stood steadfast to his demand of action
against the Multan Police officials. But it is hard to tell how long will he
last in face of all the resistance and threats he and his family are facing.
Now his only hope is support from media and a 'suo moto' notice by the
judiciary!
Over 67
pesticides banned elsewhere are still used in India’
Sharath S. Srivatsa BENGALURU,

UPDATED: DECEMBER 17, 2017 04:12 IST
SHARE ARTICLE 6 PRINT A A A
International Rice Research Institute has said that rice in India
can be grown without pesticides, says expert.Pesticide residue in rice is not
only a concern for exports, but has vast ramifications on domestic consumption
since rice is a staple diet for a large population in the country. In
2008-2009, the All-India Network Project on Pesticide Residues, a project
supported by the Union government, had found pesticide residue in paddy above
the prescribed maximum residue limit from samples taken from across the
country.
Excerpts from an interview with Thiruvananthapuram-based C.
Jayakumar, Director, Pesticide Action Network-India, and co-chair, Pesticide
Task Force - Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific, on the pesticide
problem in India:
What is the extent of the problem?
There are 6 or 7 commonly used pesticides in vegetables, and 14 to
15 in rice at any given point of time. There are about 40 pesticides approved in
the country for use in paddy cultivation. Post-harvest, chemicals are further
used during storage in the warehouse or by the shopkeeper.
Is it true that pesticides are being used in high quantity?
We not only see very high quantity of pesticides being used, but
also in an unscientific way. In one case in Jharkhand, we found pesticides
meant to be used in cotton cultivation being used on paddy.
Some samples of rice tested by Kerala State Agriculture University
have also reported high pesticide residue.
What are the regulatory issues that you see in India?
Most Indian regulations are not tied up with the international
regimen. India does not ban chemicals immediately after world bodies raise
concern over a particular chemical. We are also casual about the use of
pesticides. Cypermethrin, which was recently banned in Thailand, is still in
use in India. More than 67 pesticides banned/severely restricted elsewhere are
still used in India.
What is the way out?
International Rice Research Institute has said that rice in India
can be grown without pesticides. There can be use of fertilizers though. Indian
farmers are capable of growing rice with traditional knowledge. Villages should
be encouraged to have small mills that can mill the required quantity instead
of milling all the harvest and then using pesticide/insecticide during storage.

Nigeria slashes
rice importation burden by 65%
Nigeria has achieved 56 per cent rice production in the last one
year, leaving a deficit of 2 million tons to meet local demand. The country’s
consumption is 4.5 million metric tons annually but the country still depends
on foreign rice to meet its huge appetite. It was learnt that despite the
refusal of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to grant letter of credit, importers
have succeeded in importing 2.3 million metric tons of rice valued at
N430.5billion ($1,20billion) in 2017. Average price of parboil rice at the
global market is $520 per metric ton since November 2017.
Findings revealed that the country has not attained 90 per cent
local production as claimed by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development as local production is just four million tons of paddy rice.
According to the Secretary of Rice Millers, Importers and Distributors
Association of Nigeria (RIMIDAN), Shaibu Mohammed, the country’s production is
only 2.5million tons or 56 per cent out of the four million paddy. Mohammed
feared that it would be difficult for the country to end importation or achieve
self-sufficiency in rice production by 2018 due to continued importation of
parboil rice from Thailand and other countries. He stressed that the gap
between demand and supply was still huge. He said: “If we produce four million
tons of paddies, your yield, which is the finished product, will be about 56
per cent.
Which means the head rice you get will be about 2.5million tons out
of four million paddy.” It would be recalled that CBN stopped issuing Form M to
rice importers in 2015 in order to encourage local production. However, New
Telegraph findings revealed that regardless of the restriction, a total of 2.
4million tons were shipped into the country in 2016, while the country has so
far imported 2.3 million tons this year, leaving a difference of only 100,000
tons. In 2016, CBN complained that the amount spent on rice importation between
January 2012 and May 2015 had led to a huge stock of unsold paddy rice
cultivated by Nigerian farmers and low operating capacities of many integrated
rice mills in Nigeria. The Controller of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)’s
Federal Operation Unit, Comptroller Mohammed Uba, explained that the rice
coming legally through the port had been ordered based on contractual agreement
between importers and the sellers before the CBN embargo.
The controller said that Federal Government was serious about rice
production in the country. He said: “If you see any rice at the port, it must
be a contractual agreement spanning two years by the importers and the sellers.
In the last two years, CBN has never issued Form M or letter of credit to rice
importers.” However, Uba said that the invasion of foreign smuggled rice
through the land border was frustrating government efforts to boost local
production, which had crashed prices of foreign rice. Last year, NCS impounded
some rice worth N597.7 billion smuggled into the country through the land borders
between January and August 2016. The service said that the value of the grain
seized in the period was N267.2 billion higher than N330.5 billion rice seized
in the same period in 2015.
It explained: “Over half of imports in 2015 entered from neighboring
Benin where the duty on rice is only 12 per cent. Nigerian consumes parboiled
rice exclusively, but Benin prefers white rice, it is easy to deduce that the
85 per cent share of Benin imports that are parboiled are bound for Nigeria
through the orchestrations of clever traders.”
VietGap
standards to merit national rice brand
Rice products will be certified under the “Vietnam Rice” national
brand if they are produced in accordance with VietGAP or GlobalGAP standards --
good agricultural practices to produce clean and safe farm products.

Vietnam breaking news
Although Viet Nam annually exports five to seven million tonnes of
rice per year, the amount of revenue the country earns is less than other
countries already famous for their rice products such as Thailand and India.
This is one of the regulations drafted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development (MARD) to build, promote, manage and certify the national brand for
Vietnamese rice exports. The draft document, including seven chapters and 23
articles, has been circulated for experts’ opinions. According to MARD,
although Viet Nam annually exports five to seven million tonnes of rice per
year, the amount of revenue the country earns is less than other countries
already famous for their rice products such as Thailand and India.
Besides this, Vietnamese rice is also facing great competition from
the rice brands of these countries. Thus, speeding up the promotion of the
national rice brand is one of the urgent solutions to help increase the
product’s added value, and subsequently export revenue. Vo Thanh Do, deputy
director of MARD’s Agri-product Processing and Market Development Department,
said building a national brand for Vietnamese rice (Vietnam Rice) will promote
the image of products and create trust among consumers. As a result, the
competitiveness of Viet Nam’s rice products in the world market will be
enhanced, Do said. Do said the regulation aims to ensure rice products have
stable characteristics and meet requirements in terms of quality and origin
traceability.
However, it also raised concerns among agricultural experts and
business insiders. According to Nguyen Anh Tuan from the Northern Food
Corporation, the application of VietGap standards in rice cultivation is
important and should be encouraged. However, the reality is that the area where
rice is cultivated according to VietG standards is not large, Tuan said.
Sharing the view, Nguyen Duc Cuong, a representative from the Tuong Lan
Agricultural Products Processing Company, said many regions in Viet Nam have
few rice production areas meeting the VietGap standard due to the scattered production
situation. Therefore, rice enterprises would find it hard to meet requirements,
Cuong added.
Do acknowledged that a company producing 400,000 tonnes of rice
would need some 80,000ha of raw material, adding that if the annual export
volume is taken into account, the areas meeting VietGAP standard are not
enough. Tran Xuan Dinh, deputy head of MARD’s Cultivation Department, said the
Vietnamese rice national brand should not be granted to rice products
satisfying VietGAP. It should instead be granted to those meeting Good
Agricultural Practices (GAP) in general.
Dinh explained that in many rice growing regions, land and water
indicators are within acceptable limits for the application of GAP techniques.
In addition, standards for safe agricultural products TCVN: 11892/12017 may be
applied to replace and evaluate the quality of Vietnamese rice, he said. Rice
types According to the draft regulations, the types of rice bearing the
national brand certification must be white rice, white fragrant rice and white
glutinous rice grown in areas planned by the State and meet the quality
requirements as regulated. However, Phan Van Hoa, director of the Vinh Hoa
Science and Technology Co Ltd, said the current rice varieties of Viet Nam,
even glutinous rice and aromatic rice, are in different colours, so the above
regulation will reduce the amount of qualified products.
With regard to this issue,
Do said the country currently does not have many varieties of coloured rice,
and this regulation only aims at rice products for export under the Government
scheme, therefore it should focus on three groups of rice. Do said the
Agri-product Processing and Market Development Department is assigned by MARD
to register the ownership of the “Gao Viet Nam/Vietnam Rice” national brand at
the Intellectual Property Department. The draft regulations on building,
promoting, managing and certifying the national brand for Vietnamese rice
exports are expected to be finalised this month. Rice is among the products
that have witnessed high growth rate in recent years. The volume of rice
exported in November is estimated at 389,000 tonnes, worth US$192 million. The
figures for 11 months of the year was 5.49 million tonnes and $2.48 billion,
respectively, representing an increase of 23.4 per cent in terms of volume and
24.2 per cent in value over the same period in 2016. China continues to rank
first in the rice import market of Viet Nam in the first 10 months of 2017 with
39.8 per cent of the market share. — VNS

Myanmar rice exports highest in 50 years in 2017-18
19
DEC 2017
Myanmar
is estimated to export up to 2.8 million tonnes of rice worth a maximum of $800
million this year, the most in 50 years. Aung Htay Hlaing/The Myanmar Times
Demand for rice produced in Myanmar has risen to its highest
level in 50 years in the current 2017-18 fiscal year, with rice exports
estimated to have increased to 2.5 million-2.8 million tonnes compared to the
previous estimate of 2.2 million tonnes, said U Khin Maung Lwin, assistant
secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.
U Nay Lin Zin, joint-secretary of Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF),
said Myanmar’s rice exports should be worth up to $800 million this fiscal
year.
So far, Myanmar has exported over 2 million tonnes of rice worth
$600 million in the first 8 months of the current fiscal year. That is the
highest level of exports in 50 years, Dr Aung Thu, Minister of of
Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, said during the annual general meeting
of MRF last Friday.
Myanmar’s rice exported its highest volume of rice ever during
the 1930s, when it sold over 3 million tonnes to international countries.
During the 1960s though, exports dropped to just a third of its peak to just
over 1 million tonnes.
The country exported 1.2 million tonnes of rice worth $200
million during the same period last year.
In the previous fiscal year, total rice exports amounted to 1.7
tonnes.
Border demand
The rise in exports this year was due to higher demand from
countries like Africa and facilitated via government-to-government agreements
between Myanmar and Sri Lanka as well as Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, which are rice-exporting countries,
this year faced shortages due to poor weather, which destroyed much of their
paddy fields. With supply from Cambodia and Vietnam insufficient to meet those
needs, demand for rice from Myanmar increased.
More than half of Myanmar’s rice exports this year were
conducted by sea. Around 53pc of locally produced rice was transported to
buyers via sea this year, while the remaining was sold to the Chinese at
Myanmar- China border gates like Muse, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
In the past, rice trade was conducted cross-border with China.
Myanmar exports 80 percent of its rice to China while the remaining 20pc is
exported via sea.
