USDA Staffs Up with New Appointments
By Sarah Moran
WASHINGTON, DC -- Yesterday, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
announced the selection of several senior leaders within U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) agencies. Perdue appointed Ken Isley as Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) Administrator, where among many other priorities he will oversee
the Market Access Program (MAP) and Foreign Market Development (FMD) programs
that help build and maintain overseas markets for U.S. agriculture. Isley spent nearly three decades at DowDuPont
where he most recently served as Special Adviser for Corteva Agriscience, an
agriculture division of DowDuPont.
"We welcome Administrator Isley to the team that helps U.S.
agriculture expand exports. USA Rice values
the partnership we have with FAS and relies on their programs to effectively
promote rice worldwide," said Betsy Ward, USA Rice president &
CEO. "We thank Jim Higgiston for
the great job he's done as acting administrator and look forward to meeting Administrator
Isley soon."
Additionally, Joel Baxley was named Rural Housing Service (RHS)
Administrator and Martin Barbre as Risk Management Agency (RMA) Administrator.
"President Trump has made increasing prosperity in rural America a
priority for his administration, and our new USDA team members will be key in
advancing us toward that goal," Secretary Perdue said. "Improving economic conditions in rural
America involves providing services to farmers, ranchers, foresters, and
producers, and it also means helping people who live in those communities. In addition, we must continually try to find
new markets for the agricultural bounty they produce. Our new leaders in FAS, RHS, and RMA will
help us carry out our mission."

Pass rice tariffication now
Issues related to
rice are once again making headlines – from the depletion of the National Food
Authority’s stocks to alleged mischief in importing that grain. It’s déjà vu.
And frankly, it’s frustrating that no one has come up with a better system.The
Duterte administration can resolve this recurring problem if it succeeds in
pushing for the passage of the rice tariffication bill, now pending in the
House of Representatives. The bill, which the President has certified as
urgent, seeks to amend Republic Act 8178, otherwise known as the Agricultural
Tariffication Act, and Presidential Decree 4, which is the law creating the
National Grains Authority.
By allowing imports,
the bill aims to increase the supply of rice so that its price goes down.
Supply will increase once the government lifts the quota on imported rice and
instead, charges a tariff or tax on imports. From a political perspective,
having a tariff system rather than quotas on imports requires a smaller
government role. And as they say, the smaller the government, the better.
The National Economic
Development Authority or NEDA supports this proposed legislation. In statements
posted on its website, NEDA said that the bill would benefit consumers. The new
system would not only soften the inflationary impact of the newly imposed TRAIN
Law, but could also lift the poorest Filipino families above the poverty line.
NEDA has estimated
that headline inflation rate would be reduced by 1 percentage point if the
domestic wholesale rice market reduced its price to the level of imported rice.
“Even with just a P1 per kilo reduction in the wholesale price of rice,
headline inflation rate would also be reduced by 0.3 percentage points.”
The statement went on
to explain that, “At 35 percent tariff rate, the landed cost of imported rice,
particularly from Thailand and Vietnam, along with its transport cost to the
local market, would be around P30.30 per kilogram. This is about P4.31 lower
than the domestic wholesale price of regular milled rice.
“The price reduction of
P4.31 per kilogram will enable a Filipino household of five to save as much as
P2,362 per year.”
The estimated savings
will be about 13 percent of a household’s average rice expenditure of P17,921
as indicated in the 2015 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), also
according to a NEDA statement. As much as 93 percent of Filipinos, most of whom
consume rice as their staple, would benefit from the shift to a tariffication
system.
Safety net for farmers
Of course, we should also look after the welfare of our farmers, who could lose out if rice import restrictions are lifted. As a safety net, NEDA Director-General Ernesto Pernia proposes that the funds collected from the rice tariff be earmarked for farmers. We agree.
Of course, we should also look after the welfare of our farmers, who could lose out if rice import restrictions are lifted. As a safety net, NEDA Director-General Ernesto Pernia proposes that the funds collected from the rice tariff be earmarked for farmers. We agree.
Like rice farmers in
other countries, for instance, the government could introduce programs that
train Filipinos to plant high-value crops instead. As we have said in this
space before, it is a better policy to strive for food security rather than
rice self-sufficiency. It’s time we came to grips with the fact that the
Philippines has no comparative advantage in rice.
The International
Rice Research Institute (IRRI) says there are three main reasons why the
Philippines imports rice. First, we don’t have enough land. The country’s land
area is only 300,000 square kilometers, and only 43,000 square kilometers of
that are used for rice production. Worse, rapid urbanization is eating into
that limited space.
Second, we have too
many mouths to feed, and the increase in rice production is outpaced by our
population growth. And last, we lack infrastructure, particularly irrigation
systems and transportation networks that link farms to markets.
Even with the quota
system, the Philippines is already the world’s largest importer of rice, buying
as much as 1.8 million tons annually. Apparently, demand exceeds that number.
And the present setup is prone to graft. It’s time we let the market dictate
supply. Clearly in the case of rice, the government is ineffective in managing
supply. The best step to take now is to pass the rice tariffication bill.
NFA set to import 250,000 MT tons of rice in May

STOCK. The NFA is supposed to ensure sufficient supply of NFA buffer stock in
case of calamities. File photo by Jay Directo/AFP
MANILA, Philippines—
National Food Authority (NFA) said the planned government-to government (G2G)
importation of 250,000 metric tons (MT) of cheap rice to serve as buffer stock
is expected to stabilize the price of the food staple.
The NFA said in a statement
on April 20, Friday, that “in consultation with the President, and after
thorough review and deeper scrutiny of the Terms of Reference (TOR) on G2G
importation, the TOR was approved and signed by NFA administrator Jason Aquino
last April 17, 2018.”
“Letters of invitation had
already been sent through courier service to the local embassies of Vietnam and
Thailand, the only countries with existing Rice Trade Agreement with the
Philippines,” it added.
The submission of price
offers is scheduled on April 27, 2018.
Should the bidders pass the
requirements and the price offers are within or lower than the approved
reference price for the imports, a notice to proceed with the importation would
be sent to the winning bidder by May 7.
“As soon as the stocks
arrive, NFA will focus on immediate distribution. We assure that the rice will
be quickly made available to areas in most need of government support,
especially highly populated cities where poverty rate is high, in poor
provinces, and in island municipalities across the country,” said NFA
administrator Jason Aquino.
He added that the “NFA will
implement strict market monitoring and enforcement to ensure that rice for the
poor goes to the poor. NFA rice will continue to be sold at P27 and P32/
kilogram nationwide”.
Supply of cheap NFA rice has been depleted in
recent weeks. At the beginning of April, it said it only had 2 days worth of
reserve stocks of rice left. (READ: NFA rice shortage: Whose fault is
it?)
NFA officials said that it
was required to maintain a 15-day stock at any given time, and a 30-day stock at
the onset of the lean months of July to September, to prepare for calamities.
The shortage of NFA rice has
sparked a government shake-up with Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr being stripped of his leadership of
NFA Council as supervision of the agency returned to the Department of
Agriculture. –Rappler.com
Beef grief as Indonesia fails at
self-sufficiency
Government quest to meet all local beef
demand with domestic cattle stocks has stalled as cheaper buffalo meat imports
surge
JAKARTA, APRIL 20, 2018 5:52 PM (UTC+8)

Its ambitious quest for beef self-sufficiency apparently
stalled, Indonesia’s government is now importing substantial quantities of
low-quality Indian buffalo meat to make up for an ongoing shortfall and reduce
the country’s reliance on costlier Australian beef imports.
The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) has approval to import an
additional 100,000 tons of buffalo meat this year, with the first shipment due
to arrive shortly before the Ramadan and Idul Fitri Muslim holidays in May-June
when beef consumption annually peaks.
Whether that import substitution is having the desired impact on
prices, however, is another story.
President Joko Widodo has said he wants the price of buffalo
meat imports set at 80,000 rupiah per kilogram. In many wet markets, however,
it is now selling for up to 110,000 rupiah – only 5,000-10,000 rupiah less than
locally slaughtered beef.
That, industry sources say, is due to supply chain
irregularities in which there is a 50-60,000 rupiah mark-up between import and
local retail prices, as well as the influence of criminal gangs whose control
over the markets is seemingly condoned by local authorities for mutual benefit.
Still, buffalo meat is a cheaper substitute in many Indonesian
dishes, such as rendang and semur daging.

According to Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), a public
authority that provides research on the red meat and poultry industries, that
makes buffalo meat popular among small manufacturers and food service operators
who often blend it with fresh beef.
Rejected in the past because of the threat of foot and mouth
disease (FMD), buffalo meat, so-called daging kerbau, was first allowed into
Indonesia in mid-2016 with 85,000 tons imported up until last December. That’s
much higher than the 2016 volume of Australian imports to Indonesia
The government was forced to suspend buffalo imports briefly
early last year after the Constitutional Court ruled that meat from FMD-prone
countries could only be imported under emergency circumstances and with
“maximum security standards.”
FMD is a highly infectious and sometimes fatal virus which
causes fever, followed by blisters inside the mouth and on the feet of cattle
and other cloven-hoofed animals. It can spread rapidly among herds and is
widely feared in countries that rely on agriculture and primary produce as a
main source of export revenues.
It is not clear what precautions are being taken by the main
importer, PT Sumber Agro Semesta, a unit of influential tycoon Tomy Winata’s
diversified Artha Graha Group. The company started in rice seed and has since
expanded into other agri-business sectors.

But the ban only lasted seven months in the face of Widodo’s
determination to ensure that Indonesia’s growing middle class and even poorer
segments of its 266 million-strong population have access to cheaper meat, with
locally produced beef prices nearly double those on international markets.
Although FMD is considered endemic, India long ago overtook the
United States, Australia and Brazil as the world’s largest exporter of beef and
buffalo meat, known as carabeef – all of it supposedly subject to
microbiological and other testing.
Most of India’s 1.95 million tons of carabeef was exported last
year to price-sensitive customers in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, but
Indian traders have adopted voluntary vaccination programs in an effort to
penetrate higher-value markets.
Animal health experts say there is a low risk of the virus being
transmitted through frozen meat when millions of tons have already been shipped
to Vietnam, Malaysia and other destinations across Southeast Asia without serious
incident.
It is already having a significant impact on Australia’s US$1.2
billion-a-year beef trade, with live-cattle exports, mostly from the Northern
Territory, falling by 15% to 493,000 head last year and boxed beef exports
dropping by 19% over the same period.
That slump is having ripple-on effects. Australian agribusiness
firm Elders is selling its 8,400-head South Sumatra feedlot and an abattoir in
Bogor, Indonesia, saying both have been underperforming in a local market made
increasingly chaotic by policy uncertainty and quota difficulties.

Another Indonesian-owned company, which requested anonymity, has
closed its Australia-based live-cattle operation and also downsized its feedlot
by 70%, with one executive complaining that the business climate “doesn’t make
sense.”
“The president’s policies are confusing,” he says. “He wants
food prices low, yet sometimes he favors the consumer and other times the
farmer. There are too many interventions. We are asking now whether this is
becoming a planned economy.”
According to the executive, government officials falsely suspect
the companies running the 23 feedlots taking Australian cattle have formed a
monopoly, instead of seeing the higher prices as a result of a long supply
chain that goes through up to nine different stages.
In fact, the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies estimates that
locally-slaughtered beef is 37.4% more expensive than imported beef, which has
a shorter supply chain but is subject to trade restrictions and cannot be sold
in traditional markets.
With pork not an option due to religious restrictions, beef
consumption in Indonesia – officially at 2.9 kilograms per capita a year — is
still among the lowest in the region, trailing Malaysia (8.7 kgs), Singapore
(6.2kgs), the Philippines (5.6 kgs), Vietnam (4.4kgs) and Thailand (3.6 kgs).
Australia, which relies on Indonesia to take half of its
live-cattle exports, infuriated the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono government in 2011
by abruptly stopping shipments due to animal welfare concerns highlighted in an
Australian television program.

beach in Indonesia. Image: iStock/Getty Images
Indonesia retaliated by slapping on a temporary live-cattle ban
of its own and in the years since the trade has seen ups and downs, now marked
by a new system that abolished quotas but stipulates that every five imported
feeder cattle should be accompanied by one breeder.
Although that rule was introduced 18 months ago, the 15,000
breeders brought in last year have yet to be moved to government breeding
stations and on to farmers, leaving the feedlots to bear the cost of sustaining
them and seeing their profits slowly erode in the process.
Widodo had earlier declared beef self-sufficiency as a national
goal, along with a basket of other commodities, but imports surged by 40% in
2016 and by a similar percentage last year while the domestic cattle population
continued to shrink.
“Nobody knows what is going on,” says one veteran cattleman, who
is strongly critical of Australia for taking the Indonesian market for granted
and not doing enough to understand it. “It’s so perverse because everything we
talk about is purely supposition.”
In an effort to reduce logistics costs, the government has built
five specialized vessels to bring livestock from outlying islands to Java,
including 55,000 head a year from West Timor in East Nusa Tenggara where there
is larger-scale cattle ranching than elsewhere in the archipelago.
But the operation still has to be subsidized, and at 30,000
rupiah a kilogram farmers are hardly benefiting from the trade. Nor are traders
plagued by poor handling and inspection delays that result in massive weight
losses among cattle on the week-long voyage from outer islands to Jakarta.
‘Rice prices must be fair’
By Panay News
-Saturday, April 21, 2018
MANILA – The Agriculture and
Trade departments mull setting suggested retail prices (SRPs) on commercial
rice varieties sold nationwide.
The move aims to help promote
fair and uniform pricing of rice in the market, Agriculture secretary Emmanuel
Piñol said in a joint media conference of the Department of Agriculture (DA)
and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
“One of the things we’re
discussing is setting an SRP according to rice variety so consumers can be guided
when buying, say, the dinorado variety,” he said.
Piñol said the two departments
decided to study the matter after discovering disparity in the prices of
commercial rice during their joint market inspection in Metro Manila early in
the week.
Some of the prices DA and DTI
saw during the inspection were no longer apt for the rice varieties the
retailers are selling, he said.
“The pricing is ridiculous.
There’s simply no reason for this,” he noted.
The agencies noted some rice
varieties sell as much as P60 per kilogram.
Piñol said since the government
does not impose SRPs on rice, this allows retailers to set their own prices on
the staple.
Prices of commercial rice have
shot up since the stock of state agency National Food Authority (NFA)
plummeted.
Meanwhile, DTI secretary Ramon
Lopez said feasibility studies and data regarding historical success and
failure of setting SRPs would determine whether or not to come up with price
guides.
“There will be a lot of
consultations with stakeholders,” Lopez told the media in the briefing,
ensuring transparency in the process of determining if the government would set
the rice SRPs.
If SRP-setting pushes through,
he said DTI would be monitoring retailers to guard against overpricing.
Last week, private rice traders
began delivering to Metro Manila commercial rice for sale to the public at P39
per kilogram.
The delivery is in line with
their commitment to help supply Metro Manila markets with lower-priced rice
while NFA awaits the arrival of its imported rice.
NFA expects its imports to
arrive next month.
NFA rice sells at lower prices
than commercial rice in the market.
Regular milled and well-milled
NFA rice in markets nationwide sell at P27 per kilogram and P32 per kilogram,

Spanish
epidemiologists and geologists have found associations between esophageal
cancer and soils where lead is abundant, lung cancer and terrains with
increased copper content, brain tumor with areas rich in arsenic, and bladder
cancer with high cadmium levels. These statistical links do not indicate that
there is a cause-effect relationship between soil type and cancer, but they
suggest that the influence of metals from the earth's surface on the geographical
distribution of tumors should be analyzed.
The
risk of dying from cancer is not the same in all geographic regions. There are
many factors that influence, including the type of soil, since it can harbor
heavy metals and semimetals that are carcinogenic for humans. The chronic
exposure of a population to these toxic elements, which enter the body through
the food chain and food, could increase the frequency of certain tumors in some
territories.
In
this context, researchers from the National Epidemiology Center of the Carlos
III Health Institute (ISCIII) and the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain
(IGME) have jointly assessed the possible statistical association between the
concentrations of heavy metals in the soil and mortality by different cancer
types. The results have been published in the open access journals Environmental
Geochemistry and Health and Environmental
Science and Pollution Research International.
The
data has been extracted from the Spain´s Geochemical Atlas, published by the
IGME in 2012, as well as from a database with 861,440 deaths from 27 cancer
types that occurred in almost 8,000 Spanish municipalities between 1999 and
2008. The data can be extrapolated to the present because the geochemical
composition of the soil is stable and the mortality patterns for this disease
usually do not vary.
The
authors have crossed the information of the type of soil and the geographic
distribution of the tumors, applying statistical analyzes and taking into
account the presence of local polluting foci or socio-demographic variables
that could interfere in the results.
They
have found various associations, such as increased mortality in both genders
from esophageal cancer in areas with higher concentrations of lead, and lung
cancer in areas with high copper levels.
"We
have also detected that the highest of cadmium, lead, zinc, manganese and
copper concentrations in the soil are statistically associated with a higher
mortality due to cancers of the digestive system in men," explains Pablo Fernández,
ISCIII researcher and co-author of the paper, "and in the case of women, a
higher mortality from brain cancer in those areas with more cadmium
content."
The
results also show a relationship between soils with more cadmium and higher
mortality from bladder cancer; as well as lands with high concentrations of
arsenic and more cases of death from brain tumors.
"This
research suggests that the geochemical composition of the soil, especially its
metals, could be influencing the spatial distribution and mortality patterns of
cancer in Spain, regardless of the socio-demographic context," says
Fernández, who highlights "the great contribution of this work to
environmental epidemiology and public health in general."
"However,"
he adds, "although it is plausible that the contents of toxic elements in
the soil, even if they are very small, may be a component in the cancer
etiology, the results must be interpreted with great caution, since the
relationships found do not allow to conclude that there is a cause-effect
relationship. Our study does not have individual exposure data or information
about other very important factors in the origin of cancer, such as tobacco,
alcohol consumption or obesity."
Gonzalo
López-Abente, another of the co-authors and also researcher at ISCIII, agrees:
"The conclusions move in the field of hypotheses and statistical
associations, which will have to be confirmed with future analyzes to check
whether the composition of the soil itself has its counterpart in the
biological markers of humans. In any case, the results are plausible and we
could be facing one more component of the cancer etiology."

GST takes the steam out of branded rice
Kabani
rice, a pesticide-free rice brand, being packed at the Wayanad Agriculture and
Spices Producer Company
CHENNAI, APRIL 20
Millers are rueing that branding of non-basmati rice in the
southern States has been effectively wiped out by the levy of GST on branded
rice. Unregistered brands stay outside GST with a clear disclaimer on the
packaging, but this means brands lose their individuality. Any rice mill can
use any trade name or brand and it has become quite common for a number of rice
mills to use the same brand if it was popular in a local market.
Effectively, branding has lost its meaning in the non-basmati
rice segment, say industry representatives.
Prior to the levy of GST, rice was largely not taxed under VAT
in the South — the major rice consuming centre. Milling technology had been
upgraded and mills were moving towards branding over the last decade.
Many brands
Unlike in major processed food segments where brands span large
geographical areas, in the non-basmati rice segment innumerable brands came up
with each being a dominant player in regional markets.
Each district in the State will have a number of brands, said AC
Mohan, Secretary, Federation of Tamil Nadu Rice Millers and Paddy, Rice Dealers
Association.
Of the large number of brands, possibly 1-2 per cent were
trademark or Agmark registered. But with the levy of GST, rice traders are
reluctant to stock registered brands because of GST implication. They deal in
branded and unbranded varieties and this was the complication.
Mohan says millers have stopped using registered brands and
market rice with the mill name or a generic name. For instance, there are over
a dozen mills marketing rice under the ‘Apple’ brand in Chennai and elsewhere
in Tamil Nadu, he remarked.
However, there are still a couple of popular brands in southern
districts that are now restricted only to organised chains of retailers or
large department stores.
NR Vishwaradhya, Executive President, Karnataka State Rice
Millers Association, said efforts by some modern mills to add value to
non-basmati rice had been stifled by this levy. With the loss of trade
protection more than one mill can offer a brand in the market.
Uniform tax slab
Millers had even suggested that the government levy a low rate
of tax uniformly rather than distinguish between branded and non-branded
varieties.
Amara Visweswararao, President, Tamil Nadu Food Grain Merchants
Association, and a leading wholesaler, said millers with registered branded
rice had attempted to add value by purchasing adequate stocks for ageing the
rice, processing with new machinery. They did get a couple of rupees margin
over unbranded. But the gap is now ₹7-8 a kg and that sort of a price gap cannot be managed
in rice.
Why are workers from Bihar thronging in Nizamabad district of
Telangana?

NIZAMABAD: THE rice bowl of Telangana,
Nizamabad, has become a provider of livelihood for hundreds of migrant workers
from Bihar. Well known for its bumper paddy cultivation, the district has a
good number of rice mills which provide employment to several people. With the
local labourers turning towards agriculture given the good prospects, migrant
workers from other states are making a beeline to the district to get employed
at the rice mills here.
Until recently, the rice mill industry in the district depended on
work force from Maharashtra. However, in the past two years, the Maharastra
natives have not been coming for hamali work. “Maharashtra workers have
purchased lands and become farmers with money earned from rice mills in the
district,” the manager of a rice mill said. He said that as of now, several
Bihari migrants have been employed as hamalis in the rice mills of the
district. 65 rice mills around dist Nizamabad district has 65 rice mills
situated close to Nizamabad and Bodhan towns.
All the rice mills employ at least ten persons throughout the
year. During the seasonal days, these numbers go over 40. Loading and unloading
activities in and outside the mills are mostly carried out by these workers.
The mills also provide accommodation facility on their premises for them. When
contacted, Nizamabad Rice Millers Association president M Dayanand Gupta has
said that the entire State depends on workers from Bihar. “In recent years,
labour force coming from Bihar has increased. Since they are hard workers, rice
mills, ginning mills etc prefer employing them,” he explained.
basmati
growers body opposes GI tag to MP for aromatic rice
NEW DELHI, APR 20
The Centre should protect the global
reputation of basmati rice and not give Geographical Indication (GI) tag to
other states, including Madhya Pradesh, for the premium grain as it would negatively
impact the industry and millions of farmers, a basmati rice growers and
exporters’ body demanded today.The basmati Rice Farmers & Exporters
Development Forum (BRFEDF) said that the government should protect basmati the
way France has done for Champagne.“Madhya Pradesh is attempting to piggy back
on the reputation built. The inclusion of Madhya Pradesh as growing area will
lead basmati to become generic. The loss of protection is not only for
traditional growing area but also to Madhya Pradesh. The result is national
loss,” Priyanka Mittal, a member of the BRFEDF, said in a statement.Although
Madhya Pradesh has lost its claim to sell premium quality of rice under the
basmati brand, the state is trying again to get the GI tag.
Currently, the GI tag was given to
basmati rice of seven states -- Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand,
Delhi, Western Uttar Pradesh and two districts of Jammu and Kashmir.A GI is a
sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess
qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. Such a name conveys an
assurance of quality and distinctiveness which is essentially attributable to
its origin in that defined geographical locality.
Mittal said that Madhya Pradesh has no tradition of cultivating
basmati rice and legal protection under the GI Act is important to tact the
rights of farmers in seven states so that they continue to receive good price
for their produce.basmati is a Rs 35,000-crore industry in the country. India’s
total basmati rice output is roughly 60 lakh tonnes , of which 40 lakh tonnes
is exported.
