4000-Year Old DNA Helps Track the Spread of Rice Farming in Asia

NEWS May 18, 2018 | Original Story by Lizzie Wade for Science

Rice farming spread far and wide in ancient Southeast Asia, but how it got there has been a mystery. Now, a study of 4000-year-old DNA—a rare find in this region—suggests it came with farmers migrating from China, where rice farming originated. That means the hunter-gatherers already living there didn’t learn farming themselves, or from their immediate neighbors, but rather from distant people moving into their territory—a pattern that may have played out throughout this part of the globe.

The study sheds light on “a pivotal period in social and ecological history,” says Hsiao-chun Hung, an archaeologist at Australian National University in Canberra who researches the spread of farming in Southeast Asia and wasn’t involved in the new work.

Scientists have struggled to peer into the prehistory of Southeast Asia because the region’s hot, humid climate tends to degrade DNA. But David Reich, a population geneticist at Harvard University, and Ron Pinhasi, a physical anthropologist at University of Vienna, gave it a go anyway.

Pinhasi worked with archaeologists who had excavated 146 skeletons from ancient people who lived in Southeast Asia. The team then used state-of-the-art genetic sampling and sequencing techniques to recover DNA from these remains. Only 18 individuals gave up their genetic story, but that was enough to open a new window onto the past. They lived in Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia between 4100 and 1700 years ago, a period ranging from the beginning of agriculture in Southeast Asia all the way through the region’s Iron Age.

The oldest skeletons come from the site of Man Bac in northern Vietnam, where archaeologists have unearthed artifacts including decorated pottery and intricate jade ornaments that are very similar to those found at earlier rice farming sites in China. Archaeologists have long believed that indigenous hunter-gatherers and newly arrived rice and millet farmers lived together at Man Bac. And indeed, the genomes of the site’s residents confirmed that idea. They showed a mixture of two ancestries: one indigenous to the region and the other more related to people from southern China. That confirms that farmers had moved to Man Bac, spread their technology and culture, and mixed with the local population of hunter-gatherers, the team reports today in Science.

Those early farmers may have left another legacy: a language that developed into today’s Austroasiatic family of languages, which are scattered across Southeast Asia. The genomes of people who speak those languages today—among them Khmer in Cambodia, Nicobarese on India’s Nicobar Islands, and Mlabri on the border of Thailand and Laos—show the same mix of ancestries found at Man Bac. That suggests the early farmers spread their genes and culture all across the region, Reich says.

In later sites from Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand, the researchers found a signal of another wave of migration from southern China about 2000 years ago. They were farmers as well, and this time they probably brought bronze metalworking technology, kicking off the Bronze Age in the region. With this migration, the populations of Southeast Asia began to resemble the people living in the region today.

ASIA RICE-INDIA PRICES DROP TO 5-MONTH LOW; VIETNAM HITS MULTI-YEAR HIGH

5/17/2018

* Vietnam prices at highest level since August 2014

* India, Thai export prices hurt by weaker local currencies

* Bangladesh won't require hefty rice imports this
year-official

By Swati Verma

BENGALURU, May 17 (Reuters) - Rice prices in top exporter
India fell this week to their lowest in five months as the rupee
depreciated, while rates in Vietnam hit a four-year high amid
stronger demand and limited supplies.

India's 5 percent broken parboiled variety prices
<RI-INBKN5-P1> dropped by $3 to $404-$408 per tonne.

The continuous correction in the rupee has allowed exporters
to reduce export prices in dollar terms, said an exporter based
at Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.

The rupee has fallen about 6 percent so far in 2018
to its lowest in 16 months, increasing exporters' margins from
overseas sales.

"Indian rice is becoming more competitive in the world
market due to the falling rupee," said another exporter based at
Kakinada.

Rice exports in India surged 18 percent to a record 12.7
million tonnes in the 2017/18 financial year, which ended on
March 31, on good demand for non-basmati rice from Bangladesh,
Benin and Sri Lanka.

An official at Bangladesh's food ministry, however, said the
country would not require hefty rice imports this year.
Bangladesh emerged as a major importer in 2017 after floods
damaged its crops.

"The government's stock levels have improved significantly.
I don't think Bangladesh would need to import a huge amount this
year again, even if rice crops are affected by flooding."

Meanwhile, in Vietnam, prices of 5 percent broken rice
<RI-VNBKN5-P1> rose to $460-$465 per tonne from $455-$460 a week
earlier. It was the highest level since August 2014.

"News about Indonesia's plan to buy another 500,000 tonnes
gives an additional push to the price amid tight supplies and
the recent offers from the Philippines," a Ho Chi Minh
City-based trader said.

"Indonesia is expected to work directly with Vietnam
Southern Food Corp and Vietnam Northern Food Corp to buy the
grain in private placements, rather than opening a tender."

In Thailand, prices of 5 percent broken rice <RI-THBKN5-P1>
eased slightly to $435-$440 a tonne, free on board (FOB)
Bangkok, from $435-$445 last week, on a weaker baht.

Demand was slow, Bangkok-based traders said, but they hoped
lower prices would attract buyers.

"The market is still quiet, but with lower export prices
now, there is more chance of sales," a trader in Bangkok said.

Thailand, the world's second-biggest rice exporter, will
hold an auction for the last 43,700 tonnes of rice fit for human
consumption from state stockpiles on Friday. A separate lot of 2
million tonnes, which is unfit for human consumption and for
industrial use, will be auctioned next month.

Tariff on rice to raise up to P28B a year

Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:10 AM May 18, 2018

Removing the import quota and slapping tariff on rice would generate up to P28 billion in yearly revenue that the government can use to support farmers, state planning agency National Economic and Development Authority said.

In a recent presentation, Neda Assistant Secretary Carlos Abad Santos said that if a 35-percent tariff would be imposed on rice imports, the government could collect between P7 billion and P28 billion a year, which could fund programs and projects for affected local farmers.

The imposition of tariff will also benefit consumers as retail prices of rice would fall by P4-7 a kilo, Abad Santos added.

The Neda official said there was a “need to act quickly to stabilize rice supply.”

“Rice inflation posted double-digit growth of over 11 percent in 2014 due to restriction in imports, but decreased in 2015-2016 due to sufficient supply in the market. In the first four months of 2018, rice inflation has started to pick up. The government should be vigilant in ensuring adequate supply,” he said.

In the Philippines’ statement during the recent 74th session of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, Neda Undersecretary Rosemarie G. Edillon said that “the approval of the legislation to remove import quotas on rice to reduce rice prices is another critical propoor measure that needs to be put in place in the immediate term given that 20 percent of the total consumption of the poor represents rice.”

Last week, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said that amid a high inflation environment, “the more enduring solutions will require structural reforms,” especially in terms of food prices.

“We continue to pressure Congress to amend Republic Act No. 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act. The lifting of quantitative restrictions or QRs on rice should be pursued in earnest, as it will reduce the retail price of rice. This will increase the purchasing power of low-income households, aside from bringing down inflation,” said Pernia, who also heads Neda.

Pernia earlier noted that the price of palay rose by 10 percent year-on-year so far this year.

“We also need to restructure the National Food Authority to rid it of its import monopoly and trading functions, so that it can focus on buffer stocking to meet emergencies. This reform is necessary for NFA to focus on its function of maintaining a national buffer stock for food security, and refrain from rice trading to avoid distorting the market,” according to Pernia.

“Moreover, we also need to address rising prices of fresh fish, meat, and vegetables. As demand continues to rise with a growing population and expanding economy, reducing food inflation is necessary to increase people’s purchasing power,” Pernia added.—BEN DE VERA

Import cargo set for 100pc inspection in fake goods war

PHOTO | WACHIRA MWANGI | NMG

All consolidated import cargo will be fully inspected to weed out counterfeit, contraband and substandard goods, the government has announced.

In a statement on Thursday, Industrialisation and Trade Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohamed said an incinerator will be installed at the Port of Mombasa to hasten destruction of counterfeit, substandard or contraband goods.

Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) Managing Director James Ongwae said a multisectoral team operating in all the entry points will be inspecting consolidated cargo.

“This is effective from today. If we find substandard goods it is going to be destroyed. We have also commenced a 100 per cent inspection of all containers carrying used shoes and clothes.

"We have already condemned two containers carrying used clothes and shoes at the port of Mombasa. All imports through Eldoret airport will undergo a 100 per cent inspection,” warned Mr Ongwae.

Owners

He said the team has a list of owners of some of the 163 condemned containers with goods valued at Sh250 million.

Ten of the containers were on Wednesday destroyed. Kebs boss led ministry officials in destroying the substandard imported goods worth more than Sh15 million.

The remaining containers are earmarked for destruction in the coming weeks.

The destruction at Bamburi Cement plant is part of the government’s efforts to end importation of fake goods.

“Some of the owners went underground after their containers were discovered to be substandard. But in cases where the owners are known they will be prosecuted. Most of the items were imported through a bank.

"Mombasa port, Eldoret and Jomo Kenyatta international airports are among entry points where contraband goods are sneaked into the country. But we are scanning all containers,” he warned.

He said all imports through the Eldoret airport would be subjected to a 100 per cent inspection to ensure they meet the required standards and specifications.

Rice tariff to raise P28 billion additional revenues

Economic managers are pushing for the removal of the quantitative restriction on rice importations in favor of imposing tariffs to encourage traders to import the commodity and allow the influx of cheaper rice into the domestic market.

Mary Grace Padin (The Philippine Star) - May 18, 2018 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — A proposal to impose a 35-percent tariff on imported rice may generate up to P28 billion in additional revenue for the government, based on a report from the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

Economic managers are pushing for the removal of the quantitative restriction on rice importations in favor of imposing tariffs to encourage traders to import the commodity and allow the influx of cheaper rice into the domestic market.

According to NEDA, the measure is projected to reduce the price of rice by P4 to P7 per kilogram, benefitting poor families, who spend around 20 percent of their budget on rice.

Earlier, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said the passage of the rice tariffication bill currently pending in both houses of Congress could become a “game changer” that would help lower prices of rice, and thus overall inflation.

BSP Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo said rice tariffication may lower inflation by one percentage point.

He said the downward effect of rice tariffication on inflation could mitigate the upward pressure on inflation created by the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law.

Meanwhile, Finance Undersecretary and chief economist Gil Beltran earlier said the impending expiration of the quantitative restrictions could pave way for the proposed reorganization of the National Food Authority (NFA).

“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 said.

“The NFA can now reorganize and limit its function on proprietary activities, in particular buffer stocking for food security and calamities, and local procurement,” he said.

The World Trade Organization first allowed the Philippines to impose a 10-year quantitative on rice imports in 1995.

Lake Rice Subsidised By N1b Since Inception — Lagos

The Commissioner for Agriculture, Toyin Suarau, made the disclosure at the 2018 Ministerial Press Briefing to commemorate the third year of Governor Akinwumi Ambode, in office.

By The Eagle Online On May 17, 2018

The Lagos State Government on Thursday said that it had subsidised the lake rice brand to the tune of N1 billion since it rolled out in December 2016 till date.
The Commissioner for Agriculture, Toyin Suarau, made the disclosure at the 2018 Ministerial Press Briefing to commemorate the third year of Governor Akinwumi Ambode, in office.
Suarau said the subsidy included cost of transportation, bagging and difference in cost of production, which had helped to checkmate the ever increasing cost of rice.
The commissioner said that the state spent a total of N4.5 billion on the purchase of lake rice.
He said: “In the last one year, the affordability of Lake rice has no doubt been good timing to Lagosians. The product is sold at a highly subsidised rate of N12,000 per 50kg bag.
“The state spent a total ofN4, 623,116,000 on the purchase of Lake rice and has subsidised the product to the tune of N1,040,395.00 from December till date.
“The subsidy includes cost of transportation, bagging and difference in cost of production of rice which has helped to reduce the price skyrocketing of the commodity.”
Suarau said that currently over 150 marketers and other ancillary service providers had been empowered through the sale of the product.
The commissioner also revealed that the state was in completing the process of establishing a 32 tonnes per hour rice mill at Imota, projected to produce 2.6 million 50kg bags of rice.
He said: “The state just signed an agreement with the Bigger Again, a leading rice mill manufacturer in the world for acquisition of the equipment.
“It is projected that when completed, the mill will produce an estimated 130 million kilogrammes of processed rice per hour, which is 2.6 million 50kg bags of rice.
“The mill will require the cultivation of 32,000 hectares of land for paddy supply which will provide a platform for the state to partner with other South-West states in rice cultivation.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ministerial briefing was organised by the state ministry of Information to commemorate Governor Akinwumi Ambode-led administration’s three years in office.
The Commissioner for Information, Kehinde Bamigbetan said that the state was determined to ensure Lagosians were well fed.
Bamigbetan said: “The importance of food cannot be over emphasised.
“Governor Ambode has recognised this fact and that without securing where food comes from, the populace will not be safe.
“That is why the office of the Special Adviser on Food Security headed by Sanni Okanlawan was established.
“This administration wants to ensure that the man on the streets of Lagos is well fed.’’

Indonesia to import 500,000 tons of more rice

The Jakarta Post

Jakarta | Thu, May 17, 2018 | 08:45 am

Workers unload Vietnamese rice at Tenau Port in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, on Feb. 13. (Antara/ Kornelis Kaha)

The Trade Ministry has issued a permit for State Logistics Agency (Bulog) to import an additional 500,000 tons of rice this year after it previously issued a permit to import the same amount earlier this year.

“We have issued an import agreement of 500,000 tons of rice. It is the second [rice import],” said the ministry’s international trade director general, Oke Nurwan, in Jakarta on Tuesday as reported by tempo.co.

He said the import permit was issued during the recent meeting of ministers under the Office of the Coordinating Economic Minister. The rice, which will be imported from several countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, India and Pakistan, is expected to curb the price of rice, which is still above the price ceiling decided by the government, the official said.

“We’ve given Bulog until July to import the 500,000 tons of rice,” Oke said. The government imported 500,000 tons of rice earlier this year to push down the increasing price of the commodity.

The decision to import the commodity sparked controversy because the Agriculture Ministry had initially claimed that the country had produced an adequate amount of rice to meet local demand.

The Agriculture Ministry’s Food Sovereignty Agency head, Agung Hendiardi, said the decision to import additional rice was to guarantee the availability of the commodity in the market because the retail price was still higher than the price ceiling of Rp 9,400 per kilogram in the regions of Java, Lampung, South Sumatra, Bali. West Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi. (bbn)

Providing the right environment for ag-tech development

Peer Schenk, Nexgen Plants chief technical officer and Lara-Simone Pretorius, Nexgen researcher examine rice at the company's research facilities.

GOVERNMENTS do not need to provide a sackful of cash for ag-tech start-ups to succeed, but rather can play their role by providing a regulatory framework that can foster innovation.

This is the view of Brian Ruddle, the managing director of Nexgen Plants, a Brisbane-based plant trait business formed in 2013.

The company now is working to commercialise a number of non-GM traits across a range of species, including rice, sorghum and tomatoes.

Mr Ruddle said recent developments with the company’s salt tolerant rice traits showed how a regulatory framework could help a start-up business.

“We have already got US Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmation that our rice product can be classified as non-genetically modified (non-GM) and therefore does not fall under regulation requirements in the US,” Mr Ruddle said.

“In Australia, we are still waiting for approval from the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) and that delay means we can’t get the product out to market.”

“This is not a criticism of the OGTR process, the fact it is so rigourous is a good thing in that it means consumers can have absolute confidence in the procedure, but by allocating more staff to this type of thing, the government could speed the process up.”

He said there were similar sorts of interventions in other areas of ag-tech that could have the same positive impact.

“It is not about handing businesses pots of money, we just want a streamlined process that allows us to do what we do efficiently.”

Mr Ruddle said it was an exciting time for the ag-tech sector.

“There are a host of applications, whether it be in the data analysis field or plant technology or in systems development, but there is a lot happening in the ag tech space at present.

“Importantly, I think we are starting to see products coming online that meet a grower need, perhaps in the past there have been nifty solutions to problems that aren’t that important to growers.”

“People outside agriculture are also aware of what is happening and are becoming increasingly willing to invest.

“It is not just seed capital dedicated to agriculture projects that is being invested, the broader investment community is really looking at what is happening – they see the potential in agriculture and can see there are a lot of developments in the space.”

However, Mr Ruddle cautioned the battle for capital was ultra-competitive.

“You’ve got finance technology start-ups, there are people in health doing tech stuff, we are competing in an open market and need to have a product that people in the sector will consider worthwhile.”

On his own company’s front, Mr Ruddle said work would continue its work on projects such as the salt tolerant rice, pathogen and virus resistant tomatoes and more aromatic rice, to tap into high value premium rice markets.

“We’re very busy with a number of things are present and we’re confident they will deliver some real benefit to the industry.”

Nexgen Plants emerged from the University of Queensland’s research arm.

The University’s commercialisation company, UniQuest, provided proof-of-concept funding in 2010 and based on the outcome, set up Nexgen Plants in 2013, dedicated to translating the plant breeding research into commercial and societal benefits.

Duterte, Papua New Guinea PM sign agri pact

Dharel Placido, ABS-CBN News

May 16 2018 11:49 PM

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday welcomed Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to Malacañang, as the two Pacific nations agreed to enhance cooperation in the field of agriculture.

Duterte and O’Neill signed a Joint Declaration of Agricultural Cooperation with emphasis on rice production.

“We have asked our relevant officials to negotiate and conclude at the soonest possible time an agreement that will bring our bilateral agriculture cooperation to the modern era, one that will truly be transformative and a hallmark of genuine partnership,” Duterte said in his joint press statement with O’Neill.

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol earlier said he was considering the idea of sending Filipino farmers to Papua New Guinea, a nation of 8 million people, to plant rice there and ship excess harvest to the Philippines. His plan drew flak among militant farmers groups.

Papua New Guinea officials are expected to visit the Philippine Rice Research Institute in Nueva Ecija on May 17.

Duterte said he also discussed with O’Neill defense and security cooperation, trade and investment relations, and people-to-people exchanges.

“In the pursuit of greater peace, progress, and prosperity for our peoples, we have realized that we have to do more together to ensure what we want to achieve and the goals reached,” he said. “There must be translated into actions the sustained projects and tangible results that can be measured.”

O’Neill, for his part, thanked the Philippines for its contributions to Papua New Guinea and welcomed the agriculture cooperation between the two countries.

“We have a very strong presence of the Filipino investment community [as well as] Filipino workers who are providing good technical support, particularly in education and health, in our country,” he said.

“I appreciate the communiqué that we have signed today between our two ministers to advance again the agriculture relationship between our two countries, particularly in the production of the rice fields in our country where we need to ensure that there’s food security for both Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.”

O’Neill said the Philippines and Papua New Guinea also agreed to extend their technical cooperation.

“We acknowledge that we need to continue to extend our people-to-people relationship and that is an indication of the growing relationship between our two countries and the freedoms and the lawful activities that we continue to enjoy as citizens of both countries,” he said.

Papua New Guinea is this year’s host of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings.

They said generating awareness among farmers and other stakeholders would also help address the issue. In addition, capacity of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and storage facility have to be increased.

Right to Food Bangladesh (RFB) and Christian Aid arranged the seminar on “State's Role in Tackling Food Loss and Right to Food” in the capital's Cirdap.

Presenting a paper, Sanwar Sayeed Shaheen, general secretary of Bangladesh Krishi Sangbadik Forum, said the post-harvest waste of food crops was 77.5 lakh tonnes in 2015-16 fiscal year -- 14 percent of the total produced crops.

The waste was worth around Tk 30,400 crore that year, he said, referring to a survey by Horticulture Export Development Foundation (Hortex Foundation).

Shaheen said the losses had been counted from farmers' production to reaching consumers. At farm level, reasons behind food crop waste included breaking, scattering, insect infection, lack of applying technology, and drying.

At marketing level, the reasons were storage limitation, inefficient transportation and packaging.

Referring to a recent study by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Shaheen said about 70 percent of the rice was processed using traditional husking machine in the last fiscal year. The process caused waste of 1 to 1.5 percent or about 3.5 lakh tonnes of the total produced rice (about 5 crore tonnes) that year.

Use of “rubber huller” technology and moisture meter will increase rice production, he said.

Welcoming the participants, RFB General Secretary Mohsin Ali said a law on right to food has to be enacted in the country to ensure food security.

Emphasising on generating awareness, former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor Khondkar Ibrahim Khaled said people have to play major role in awareness campaigns about crops waste.

Manjurul Hannan, managing director of Hortex Foundation, said timely meteorological forecast can save crops from untimely flood and other natural disasters.

Prof Khaleda Islam, a teacher at Institute of Nutrition and Food Science of Dhaka University, said food crop waste has been depriving many poor people from having sufficient food.

Farmers in Southern Iran Protest Rice-Planting Ban

May 16, 2018 8:15 PM

Michael Lipin

In this photo shared on social media, Iranian farmers gather outside the Khuzestan provincial government complex in the southern city of Ahvaz, May 16, 2018, to protest a provincial ban on rice-planting due to water shortages. The protesters hold a sign saying, “We need water to make a living – Rice farmers of Khuzestan.”

Rice farmers in a southern Iranian province are protesting a local government decision to ban rice planting because of water shortages.

Iran’s state-run ILNA news agency said a group of rice farmers denounced the ban at a rally Wednesday outside the Khuzestan provincial governorate building in the city of Ahvaz. It said the farmers have staged several protests at the site in recent days.

ILNA quoted the protesters as saying the ban on cultivating rice in the coming year threatens to destroy their livelihood. Khuzestan’s agricultural department said it declared the ban because rice planting requires more water than other crops, and water has been in short supply in the province for months.

Iranian authorities have urged local farmers to plant soya or other beans instead of rice. But farmers have said rice is crucial to their livelihood because it earns them more money than beans.

ILNA said the protesting farmers also complained that provincial officials have not responded to their appeals for a lifting of the rice-planting ban.

Southern Iran has seen sporadic protests related to water shortages for months. Mismanagement of the region’s water resources and below-average levels of rainfall have contributed to the problem.

From rice mill clerk to third-time Karnataka CM

May 17, 2018, 11:41 AM IST

New Delhi: Amid loud cheers from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), B.S. Yeddyurappa was sworn in as the chief minister of Karnataka, over six years after his exit from the party on grounds of alleged ill-treatment by the BJP High Command.

Born on 27 February 1943, Yeddyurappa, after completing his pre-university college education from PES College, Mandya (equivalent to Grade 12), was appointed as a first-division clerk in the social welfare department. However, he soon moved to his current constituency, Shikaripura, where he joined as a clerk at a rice mill. Yeddyurappa’s political journey began in 1970, when he was appointed as the Karyavaha (Secretary) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s Shikaripura unit, and later elected to the Shikaripura Town Municipality and appointed as the President of the Taluk unit of the Jana Sangh.

In 1975, Yeddyurappa was elected President of the Town Municipality of Shikaripura, and later the President of the Shikaripura taluk unit of the BJP before he went on to become the president of the BJP’s Shimoga district unit in 1985. In 1988, he became the state president of the BJP in Karnataka. Yeddyurappa was first elected to the lower house of the Karnataka Legislature in 1983 and has since represented the Shikaripura constituency six times. His first stint in power was when he helped Janata Dal (Secular) leader H. D. Kumaraswamy bring down the coalition government headed by Congress leader Dharam Singh and form an alternative government with the BJP.

Soon after, an agreement was made between the JD(S) and the BJP, which specified that Kumaraswamy would be the chief minister for the first 20 months, after which Yeddyurappa would take over for the remaining 20 months. However, in October 2007, when it was Yeddyurappa’s turn to become chief minister, Kumaraswamy refused to relinquish his post, thus forcing the former and all the ministers from his party to resign, leading to the BJP’s withdrawal of support to the Kumaraswamy government.

The first BJP leader to become the chief minister of a Southern Indian state, Yeddyurappa has briefly held the office of chief minister for two terms prior to his current appointment, that is, from November 12 to 19, 2007, and from May 30, 2008, to July 31, 2011.

However, the Karnataka Lokayukta in 2011, while investigating the illegal mining case, submitted its report indicting Yeddyurappa for illegally profiteering from land deals in Bengaluru and
Shivamogga, and also in connection with the illegal iron ore export scam in Bellary, Tumkur and Chitradurga districts of Karnataka.

Following severe pressure from the BJP central leadership, Yeddyurappa announced his resignation on July 31, 2011, and subsequently, in 2012, resigned from his position as a Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) and primary membership of the BJP, while simultaneously launching his own party, the Karnataka Janata Paksha.

Yeddyurappa’s return to the BJP was announced first in 2013, but the actual merger of his party with the BJP took place in 2014, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, where he won from the Shivamogga by a stellar margin of 363,305 votes.

In 2016, the BJP re-appointed him as the President of the Karnataka BJP unit, and thereafter, as its chief minister candidate for the recently concluded assembly polls in the state.

Yeddyurappa, who contested the elections from Shikaripura for the seventh time, defeated Congress’ Goni Malatesha by a margin of 35,397, thus securing his seat.
Although the BJP fell short of the 112 seat margin by seven, Karnataka Governor Vajubhai R. Vala invited the party to form the government in the state, with a 15-day period to prove their majority in the Assembly.

Thereafter, Vala on Thursday administered the oath of Yeddyurappa as the 23rd chief minister of Karnataka. (ANI)

Indonesia to import 500,000 tons of more rice

The Jakarta Post

Jakarta | Thu, May 17, 2018 | 08:45 am

The Trade Ministry has issued a permit for State Logistics Agency (Bulog) to import an additional 500,000 tons of rice this year after it previously issued a permit to import the same amount earlier this year.

“We have issued an import agreement of 500,000 tons of rice. It is the second [rice import],” said the ministry’s international trade director general, Oke Nurwan, in Jakarta on Tuesday as reported by tempo.co.

He said the import permit was issued during the recent meeting of ministers under the Office of the Coordinating Economic Minister.

The rice, which will be imported from several countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, India and Pakistan, is expected to curb the price of rice, which is still above the price ceiling decided by the government, the official said.

“We’ve given Bulog until July to import the 500,000 tons of rice,” Oke said.

The government imported 500,000 tons of rice earlier this year to push down the increasing price of the commodity.

The decision to import the commodity sparked controversy because the Agriculture Ministry had initially claimed that the country had produced an adequate amount of rice to meet local demand.

The Agriculture Ministry’s Food Sovereignty Agency head, Agung Hendiardi, said the decision to import additional rice was to guarantee the availability of the commodity in the market because the retail price was still higher than the price ceiling of Rp 9,400 per kilogram in the regions of Java, Lampung, South Sumatra, Bali. West Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi. (bbn)

Adding organic fertilisers to rice plantations - a boon or a bane?

Share3

Sharada Ramadass

Assam May 17, (Research Matters)

Rice is the most widely consumed staple cereal in Asia and is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production. Paddy fields are at the eye of a storm as they are a significant contributor of greenhouse gases (GHG) like methane that are known to contribute towards global warming. The warm, waterlogged soil conditions in rice fields promote the growth of microorganisms that release carbon-dioxide and transform it into methane. One way to manage this is by increasing the ability of the soil to store more organic carbon. A study by researchers at the Tezpur University, Assam, evaluates the effect of different carbon-rich fertilisers on methane emission and rice productivity.

Commonly used organic fertilisers like cow dung, green manure and rice husk contain materials in various stages of decay that adds to the soil carbon content. In fact, the global carbon content in the soil is so high today that it holds three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Thus, even a small change in soil management techniques (such as adding organic materials) has the potential to offset anthropogenic GHG emissions from rice production significantly.

In this study, the researchers have evaluated the additions of organic and inorganic fertilisers (usually a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, commonly referred to as NPK) for their global warming potential, methane emission, soil carbon storage and crop productivity. The field study was conducted in the Tezpur University campus for two years (2014 and 2015) during the monsoon season lasting between June and November each year. This study was published in the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research and was funded by the Department of Science and Technology.

The researchers conducted their experiment with rice seedlings sown in five different plots. The first plot was applied a regular dose of conventional NPK-only fertiliser, and it served as a control against which others were measured. The other four plots were applied different organic materials—cow dung, green manure from a herbaceous plant called Sesbania aculeata, compost from an aquatic fern called Azolla carolinianaand rice husk. These organic compounds were added in addition to the inorganic NPK fertiliser.

The study observed that the plot with NPK and green manure had increased methane emissions as compared to the control plot with only NPK. The researchers also found that adding either cow dung or green manure increased methane emissions by 40-60%. However, the crop yield showed a reverse pattern; it increased significantly with the addition of organic fertilisers. The study found that the plot with Azolla compost had the highest increase in yield (27%), followed by the one with cow dung (23%), rice husk dust (17%) and green manure (11%).

The researchers also found that the plants grown with organic fertilisers had a significantly higher rate of photosynthesis than those grown with just NPK fertiliser. The carbon efficiency ratio (a ratio of carbon stored in the grain and the carbon emitted), which indicates the plant’s efficiency for storing carbon, was highest for the plot with Azolla compost and lowest for the one with green manure. The level of soil organic carbon was also higher in plots with organic additions.

The findings show that although methane emission increases with organic additions to soil, it boost crop yield. “A high carbon efficiency ratio and soil carbon storage capacity with the combination of NPK and Azolla compost is a high point of the present study”, say the authors. While organic additions increase the methane emissions, they also offset its impacts by improving carbon storage in crop and soil.

“Addition of farmer-friendly organics to inorganic fertilisers may be an easy and useful method to improve productivity in tropical regions such as north-east India, where inorganic fertiliser costs are high but organic materials are plentiful”, say the authors, talking about the implications of the study. Thus, picking a proper management technique that chooses the right kind of organic additions can prove to be a boon for rice production, rather than a bane due to its global warming emissions.

Rice, flour milling industries bracing for Brexit

16.05.2018

| UkrAgroConsult

The rice and flour milling industries in the United Kingdom could be negatively impacted if the country withdraws from the customs union and single market as part of Brexit — the vote by British citizens in 2016 to leave the European Union, The Guardian reported on May 15.

Umesh Parmar, joint managing director of Tilda, one of the U.K.’s most popular rice brands, told The Guardian that the company’s rice mill in Rainham, Essex, would close if barriers to imports from its supplier in India and Pakistan as well as exports to the E.U. were put in place.

“The Tilda brand won’t disappear, but it just won’t be a British-made product anymore,” Parmar told the newspaper. “The value added will not be in Britain. Our business would be better off within the customs union.”
Alex Waugh, director general of the National Association of British and Irish Millers, told The Guardian that flour mills were also at risk as 80% of Ireland’s bread came from the U.K.

He said post-Brexit tariffs could be as high as 50% on flour imports from the U.K., making British flour uncompetitive and threatening closure of several of the country’s 50 flour mills.

The U.K. is scheduled to leave the E.U. by March 29, 2019, although there will be a 21-month transition period that will end on Dec. 31, 2020.

Government issues tender notice to export 3000 tonnes of rice and 5000 tonnes of sugar to Nigeria

By Yasir Zeb

May 17, 2018

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the government has issued tender notices for exporting 3000 metric tonnes of irri-6 rice. The exports will prove wholesome for the next crop, the government will provide the incentive to the farmers to harvest the next crop of rice in a better style.

The Ministry has said that the government has also issued the tenders for 5000 metric tonnes of sugar to export to Nigeria. The tenders have been issued by TCP authorities.

This sugar export to Nigeria will make sugar mills owners to pay the price of sugarcane to the growers immediately beside clearing their outstanding dues.

Pakistan has recently seen an increase in wheat exports as well, the country has witnessed the higher exports in one month during the month of April since it was born. Pakistan exported 300,000 tonnes of wheat in the month of April 2018.

Pakistan’s textile exports were also on the rise during the last 9 months. Despite having difficulties in the textile sector the country has seen perpetual growth in the industry. Total textile exports stood at $9.99 billion during the period from July to March 2017-18. The exports were $9.27 billion in 2016-17 according to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics PBS

Is Rice Gluten-Free? Is Rice A Carb? The Answers To All Your Questions.

We eat 480,000 metric tons of rice a year, but many of us don’t know what it is.

By Kristen Aiken

If you type the phrase “is rice” into the Google search bar, it’ll fill in the rest of the question to indicate what the world is asking. In this case, the top two results are “is rice gluten-free?” and “is rice a carb?”

People just have no idea what rice is made of, which is a little shocking considering the amount of rice we eat.

In the 2017/2018 agricultural calendar alone, global consumption of rice topped 480,000 metric tons, so it’s probably a good idea to understand what exactly rice is and what it does to our bodies.

Is rice a carb?

Yes, rice is very much a carbohydrate. To be more precise, it’s a complex carb. To break it down even further, brown rice is an unrefined complex carb, and white rice is a refined complex carb.

Though we usually look down upon the unrefined things in life, unrefined carbs are actually a good thing when it comes to our health. The unrefined complex carbs found in brown rice require our bodies to do some work to digest them, which keeps us from having dramatic swings in our blood sugar and insulin levels. Because brown rice’s husk is intact, it contains tons of beneficial vitamins, nutrients and fiber (1.8 grams per serving) that can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

White rice, on the other hand, is a refined complex carb, because the high-fiber parts of the grain have been removed by machinery. This makes the carbs easy for our bodies to digest, leading to unwanted sugar crashes. Compared with the 1.8 grams of fiber found in brown rice, white rice only contains has 0.4 grams of fiber.

Which has more carbs, brown or white rice?

In general, white rice has a higher number of total carbohydrates than brown rice. We’ve broken down popular types of rice below by grams of total carbohydrates per serving, but it’s important to keep in mind that nutritional info can vary by brand.

Which has a higher glycemic index, brown or white rice?

A glycemic index, or GI, is a way of ranking carbohydrate-containing foods according to their immediate effects on blood sugar levels. Carbs with a low GI are more slowly digested, causing a slower rise in insulin levels. Foods with a high GI are quickly digested and make our insulin levels skyrocket.

A low GI is defined as 55 and under, intermediate is 56 to 69, and high is 70 and above.

Again, the GI varies by brand of rice, so shop around until you find a brand that suits you best. But here are a few examples that give a general sense of the numbers, according to GlycemicIndex.com:

·       Long grain rice, white, Golden Crown brand: 76 (HIGH)

·       Medium grain rice, white, Double Ram brand: 89 (HIGH)

·       Brown rice (general): 66 (INTERMEDIATE)

·       Japonica, short-grain brown rice: 62 (INTERMEDIATE)

·       Japonica short-grain brown rice, pre-germinated: 54 (LOW)

The House of Representatives plans to set up a team to oversee the government's decision to import rice to ease market prices, which farmers have protested will lower the commodity's farm-level price ahead of the coming harvest season.

Teguh Juwarno, chairman of House Commission VI overseeing the trade sector, said on Thursday in Jakarta that the commission would establish a team to ensure that the policy would not impact the farmers' interests.

"We need to know that the [planned] import is only to strengthen the rice stock, and not for the interests of a few people," Teguh said.

The commission established the team after meeting with Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukita, State Logistics Agency (Bulog) president director Djarot Kusumayakti, state trading firm PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PT PP) president director Agus Andiyani and the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry's deputy for industrial, agriculture and pharmacy affairs, Wahyu Kuncoro.

Tegung said that the team would consist of party faction representatives on Commission VI. “The tasks of the members includes checking the rice stock at warehouses and oversee the shipments of imported rice at ports," he said.

During the meeting, lawmakers criticized the lack of reliable data on rice production that has triggered the sudden decision to import rice. Lawmakers also questioned the government’s decision to assign the State Logistics Agency (Bulog) to import the 500,000 tons of rice, instead of PT PP. (srs/bbn)

EDITORIAL: The unreliability of rice data

The Jakarta Post

Jakarta | Thu, January 18, 2018 | 08:15 am

Every time a bout of price hikes hits the rice market, as it has been over the last few months, the politically sensitive issue about the need for imports again raises its ugly head. After a series of meetings chaired by the chief economics minister, the government finally decided recently to import 500,000 tons, or just 1.5 percent of the estimated domestic consumption of 33 million tons, to help press down the rice price, which affects the vast majority of the population and weighs heavily on the inflation rate.

But Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman, who seemed to consider rice imports a threat to his portfolio in the Cabinet, as well as a number of politicians, strongly protested the import policy, arguing that domestic supplies are actually adequate and imports would hurt the farmers.

The problem is there have long been great doubts about the accuracy of the production data provided by the Agriculture Ministry and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). There were even suspicions the ministry tended to inflate production data to show off its success, especially because President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo himself has made rice self-sufficiency one of the goals of his administration.

We now learn, though, that the government has now realized that the main controversy about rice imports so far has been generated by inaccurate production data. The limited availability and quality of data on the production and consumption of such a strategic commodity has reduced the ability of the government, analysts and researchers to understand the national rice supply and demand.

BPS chief Kecuk Suhariyanto confirmed on Monday that the present data collection, which is based on eyeball estimates of paddy crops in random area sampling in major-producing provinces, would be replaced by a satelittle-mapping method to gather more accurate data.

Another problem may be that the monitoring of domestic stock data at main warehouses and major distribution points for the early price monitoring system also has been utterly inadequate. As long as an effective early warning system and reliable real-time information about stocks, the flow of rice across the country and prices are not available, debates about rice production and consumption tend to beat around the bush.

But the government and many politicians still need to correct misperceptions that food security should mean rice self-sufficiency. Given the acute lack of irrigation outside Java, a low rice yield and taking into account the needs of 260 million people, it is likely impossible for Indonesia to be self-sufficient in rice all the time.

In the long run, and in the absence of a new technology breakthrough or of any significant expansion in rice acreage outside Java, there seem to be few better alternative policies for the government but to step up food diversification programs.

In the meantime, rice imports should be allowed from time to time as a deterrent to speculative domestic trade and to meet domestic deficit in case of harvest failure. Official data has shown that more than 75 percent of rice growers are net rice consumers themselves.

Update: May, 17/2018 - 18:01

Rice bran oil is one of the best oils for health, widely used in many countries. - Photo gia dinh va xa hoi

Viet Nam News

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam will welcome over 200 experts and researchers from around the world to participate in the fifth International Conference on Rice Bran Oil in Hà Nội from May 23-25.

Themed “Rice Bran Oil---The World’s Premium Healthy Oil”, the seminar will discuss strategies to promote the development and utilisation of rice bran oil and improve its branding and trade in the international market.

This is the fifth year IARBO (International Association of Rice Bran Oil) has organised the conference to promote the production of rice bran oil in its five member countries of China, India, Japan, Thailand and Việt Nam. The event will be attended by representatives of the world’s leading rice bran oil producers, such as Thailand’s Medifood, Japan’s Tsuno and Oryza groups, and more.

Rice bran oil is one of the best oils for health, widely used in many countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the US, India as well as the EU. The oil is extracted from the bran layer within six hours of being separated from rice grains to preserve valuable antioxidants such as Gamma-Oryzanol, Phytosterol and Vitamin E.

The member countries of IARBO have great potential to produce the oil, generating additional value for rice. Currently, 90 per cent of global rice output is produced by Asia. India is currently the world’s largest rice producer, accounting for 75 per cent of the global output, followed by China and Japan.

In Việt Nam, Wilmar Agro Vietnam Ltd has invested in two rice oil extraction plants in the Mekong Delta, with a total extraction capacity of up to 1,200 tonnes of crude rice per day. This is the largest plant in the country in terms of extraction, providing large quantities of crude oil for domestic and foreign markets.

Cái Lân Oils and Fats Industries Company, which owns refined rice oil brand Simply, said its refinery required modern machinery and advanced technology to keep intact the nutrition of Gamma-Oryzanol and balance fatty acid groups in rice oil. The company’s products are mainly exported to China, Japan, Europe and the Middle East as well as partly sold in the domestic market.

Established in 2013, IARBO is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation. Its mission is to connect manufacturers, research institutes, universities and consumers to promote the production and consumption of rice in the world.

At this year’s conference, IARBO held the first rice research competition, with a total prize of US$21,000 for students. In addition to the in-depth reports, the conference also featured hundreds of booths displaying value-added rice and rice bran products. — VNS

Being Indian, I wonder what Americans and British people eat daily? Do they eat Indian foods like rice, roti, etc.?

America is extremely diverse. In my home, we eat basmati rice 3 or 4 times each week, but usually as a side dish. If not rice, then Japanese noodles or twice-baked potatoes (skins stuffed with potato, sour cream, and cheese). Sometimes we’ll cook a mixture of rice and meat and vegetables.

Normal dinner for us is a meat (beef, lamb, or pork) or fish (catfish, salmon), the rice/noodles/potato, and a fresh vegetable, typically asparagus, Brussel sprouts, green beans, or broccoli.

My physician says that about half of her patients eat pizza for dinner every night.

The “standard” dinner widely associated with the US is “meat and potatoes”. I’m sure that is widespread in the US, usually accompanied by vegetables. When I travel in Germany or Russia, I am distressed by the absence of fresh vegetables.

Breakfast for me is usually freshly-baked bread (done by my wife using a bread machine) with cheese and jam, with coffee; sometimes we’ll spread lox (smoked salmon) and cream cheese.

We normally don’t have bread except for lunch (which I skip) and breakfast. I love Indian Roti, but eat it only in India.

I generally skip lunch.

Food is not spicy. I feel that hot spice obscures the delicate flavors of food. Even rice (basmati!) has a wonderful delicate flavor. I accompany my dinners with wine, usually a moderately-priced Pinot Noir from Bourgogne.

As a vegetarian American, rice is one of our staples. We’ve sometimes eaten it sweet, but usually eat it savory. It’s sometimes eaten with stir fried veges and tofu, Chinese style. Other times with other things added in. Besides the standard rice we get at the grocery store, we also enjoy the delicacy of Basmati rice, and the nutty flavor of wild rice that grows on the lakes in Minnesota.

Other staples, as vegetarian Americans, are potatoes, beans, and quinoa. Quinoa is a grain-like grass grown in South America. Like rice, it can be flavored a variety of ways. Beans can be eaten in soups, or wrapped up with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, salsa, etc., in tortillas.

Potatoes are boiled, baked, mashed, or occasionally fried.

I don’t know what Roti is, but we don’t eat a lot of what you would consider Indian foods because we don’t have the spice available other than curry. I use curry once in awhile, but simply don’t have the experience to know how to cook a lot of Indian foods.

We also eat a LOT of fruit. Right now, I’m actually living in South America where it is much easier to get fruit. When I lived in the US, however, our fruit was limited somewhat by the seasons, so apples, oranges, grapefruit and grapes were staples. Strawberries and cherries could be had in the summer, peaches and apricots in the fall. Tropical fruits were expensive and seasonal.

From a British perspective, the traditional carbohydrate served with the main meal of the day used to be potatoes, prepared in a variety of ways: boiled, mashed, roasted, baked or fried (as chips). Go back 20 years and a typical meal could be described as 'meat and two veg': in other words, some sort of meat or fish (or some product based on meat, such as a steak and kidney pie), potatoes and vegetables - usually boiled - such as carrots, cabbage or peas. However, as food from different parts of the world have become popular, potatoes have been increasingly supplanted by rice and pasta, and a much wider range of vegetables and fruit have become available.

Most British supermarkets will stock a variety of types of rice: American long grain, Basmati, Thai fragrant, and possibly specialist rices such as Japanese, and Italian rice for risotto. Recently a variety of flat breads such as rotis, chapattis and tortillas have become popular, particularly for the preparation of 'wraps' as an alternative to the lunchtime sandwich. By the way, Brits eating in Indian restaurants tend to opt for naan bread rather than rotis, chapattis or parathas. In fact my own introduction to rotis was through friends from the Caribbean, where rotis have been assimilated into the local cuisine.

NAFTA Negotiations to Continue Past Congressional Deadline

By Jesica Kincaid

WASHINGTON, DC -- Today is an important date for those who want a "NAFTA 2.0" or a modernized North American Free Trade Agreement. May 17 is the date that House Speaker Paul Ryan has said is the deadline for the President to inform Congress of his intent to sign a new NAFTA in order for the current Congress to consider and vote on the new agreement. As of publication of today's Daily, the President has not notified Congress.

In exchange for requiring an up or down vote on trade agreements by Congress, U.S. law sets multiple deadlines for the President to notify Congress of his intent to sign an agreement and to provide a copy before signature. There's also a mandated study of the economic impact of the agreement before Congress acts.

"Backing up from these statutory requirements and looking at the legislative calendar has led many to conclude that now is the time for the President to notify Congress if approval is to happen this year," said USA Rice COO Bob Cummings.

Key issues holding up an agreement reportedly include U.S. proposals on rules of origin to increase North American content for duty-free treatment of automobiles; that NAFTA sunset every five years unless specifically renewed by the parties; and making NAFTA's investor-state dispute settlement provision optional for each country. The United States is also seeking improved access for U.S. dairy in Canada, which is restricted by Canada's domestic supply management system.

The timeline for modernization is unclear if the current congressional window is missed. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer issued a statement which said in part, "The United States is ready to continue working with Mexico and Canada to achieve needed breakthroughs on these (negotiating) objectives (as outlined by Congress in the bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority). Our teams will continue to be fully engaged."

"USA Rice supports Ambassador Lighthizer's commitment to continued U.S. engagement," said Cummings. "NAFTA made Mexico the number one export destination for U.S. rice and solidified Canada's position among the top five, and we support any improvements that improve the efficiency of rice trade with our neighbors."

Absent congressional approval of a new agreement, the existing NAFTA remains in place.

How rice farming may have spread across the ancient world

By Lizzie WadeMay. 17, 2018 , 2:00 PM

DNA from ancient skeletons confirms that migrating farmers introduced rice to Southeast Asia, including Vietnam.

NGUYEN HUY KHAM/REUTERS

Rice farming spread far and wide in ancient Southeast Asia, but how it got there has been a mystery. Now, a study of 4000-year-old DNA—a rare find in this region—suggests it came with farmers migrating from China, where rice farming originated. That means the hunter-gatherers already living there didn’t learn farming themselves, or from their immediate neighbors, but rather from distant people moving into their territory—a pattern that may have played out throughout this part of the globe.

The study sheds light on “a pivotal period in social and ecological history,” says Hsiao-chun Hung, an archaeologist at Australian National University in Canberra who researches the spread of farming in Southeast Asia and wasn’t involved in the new work.

Scientists have struggled to peer into the prehistory of Southeast Asia because the region’s hot, humid climate tends to degrade DNA. But David Reich, a population geneticist at Harvard University, and Ron Pinhasi, a physical anthropologist at University of Vienna, gave it a go anyway.

Pinhasi worked with archaeologists who had excavated 146 skeletons from ancient people who lived in Southeast Asia. The team then used state-of-the-art genetic sampling and sequencing techniques to recover DNA from these remains. Only 18 individuals gave up their genetic story, but that was enough to open a new window onto the past. They lived in Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia between 4100 and 1700 years ago, a period ranging from the beginning of agriculture in Southeast Asia all the way through the region’s Iron Age.

The oldest skeletons come from the site of Man Bac in northern Vietnam, where archaeologists have unearthed artifacts including decorated pottery and intricate jade ornaments that are very similar to those found at earlier rice farming sites in China. Archaeologists have long believed that indigenous hunter-gatherers and newly arrived rice and millet farmers lived together at Man Bac. And indeed, the genomes of the site’s residents confirmed that idea. They showed a mixture of two ancestries: one indigenous to the region and the other more related to people from southern China. That confirms that farmers had moved to Man Bac, spread their technology and culture, and mixed with the local population of hunter-gatherers, the team reports today in Science.

Those early farmers may have left another legacy: a language that developed into today’s Austroasiatic family of languages, which are scattered across Southeast Asia. The genomes of people who speak those languages today—among them Khmer in Cambodia, Nicobarese on India’s Nicobar Islands, and Mlabri on the border of Thailand and Laos—show the same mix of ancestries found at Man Bac. That suggests the early farmers spread their genes and culture all across the region, Reich says.

In later sites from Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand, the researchers found a signal of another wave of migration from southern China about 2000 years ago. They were farmers as well, and this time they probably brought bronze metalworking technology, kicking off the Bronze Age in the region. With this migration, the populations of Southeast Asia began to resemble the people living in the region today.

This three-pronged mixture of indigenous hunter-gatherers, early farmers, and a later wave of migrants parallels the prehistory of Europe, also illuminated by ancient DNA in recent years. There, migrating farmers brought agriculture from the Near East to Europe, where they mixed with local hunter-gatherers about 7000 years ago. Then later waves of Bronze Age migrants—in Europe’s case, herders from the Central Asian steppe—moved in and established the population structure scientists see today. (Researchers, including Reich, have also documented a similar pattern in South Asia.)

“The two are twin phenomena happening at about the same time at different ends of Eurasia,” says Charles Higham, an archaeologist who studies Southeast Asia at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, and wasn’t involved in the work. “Human beings are inquisitive, they’re exploratory, and they’re on the move.”

Thailand to expand rice markets in Malaysia, Indonesia

Bangkok (NNT/VNA) – Thailand’s Department of Foreign Trade has cooperated with the Thai Rice Exporters Association to expand Thai rice markets in Malaysia and Indonesia. Director-General of the Department of Foreign Trade Adul Chotinisakorn said both Malaysia and Indonesia are expected to import more rice from Thailand, and this is a positive sign for the new rice farming season. Adul said the department has recommended riceberry, Hom Nil, and Sung Yod rice to consumers in Malaysia, as they have become more health conscious. He said his agency will also work with the Department of International Trade Promotion to further promote Thai rice in Malaysia. As for Indonesia, Adul said most Indonesian consumers prefer white rice. But due to increasing health awareness in Indonesia, it is an opportunity for Thailand to expand its rice market in the neighboring country. He said his department will cooperate with Thai rice traders to expand the market in Indonesia.-VNA

India rice prices drop to five-month low; Vietnam hits multi-year high

Swati Verma

BENGALURU (Reuters) - Rice prices in top exporter India fell this week to their lowest in five months as the rupee depreciated, while rates in Vietnam hit a four-year high amid stronger demand and limited supplies.

India’s 5 percent broken parboiled variety prices dropped by $3 to $404-$408 per tonne.

The continuous correction in the rupee has allowed exporters to reduce export prices in dollar terms, said an exporter based at Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.

The rupee has fallen about 6 percent so far in 2018 to its lowest in 16 months, increasing exporters’ margins from overseas sales.

“Indian rice is becoming more competitive in the world market due to the falling rupee,” said another exporter based at Kakinada.

Rice exports in India surged 18 percent to a record 12.7 million tonnes in the 2017/18 financial year, which ended on March 31, on good demand for non-basmati rice from Bangladesh, Benin and Sri Lanka.

An official at Bangladesh’s food ministry, however, said the country would not require hefty rice imports this year. Bangladesh emerged as a major importer in 2017 after floods damaged its crops.

“The government’s stock levels have improved significantly. I don’t think Bangladesh would need to import a huge amount this year again, even if rice crops are affected by flooding.”

Meanwhile, in Vietnam, prices of 5 percent broken rice rose to $460-$465 per tonne from $455-$460 a week earlier. It was the highest level since August 2014.

“News about Indonesia’s plan to buy another 500,000 tonnes gives an additional push to the price amid tight supplies and the recent offers from the Philippines,” a Ho Chi Minh City-based trader said.

“Indonesia is expected to work directly with Vietnam Southern Food Corp and Vietnam Northern Food Corp to buy the grain in private placements, rather than opening a tender.”

In Thailand, prices of 5 percent broken rice eased slightly to $435-$440 a tonne, free on board (FOB) Bangkok, from $435-$445 last week, on a weaker baht.

Demand was slow, Bangkok-based traders said, but they hoped lower prices would attract buyers.

“The market is still quiet, but with lower export prices now, there is more chance of sales,” a trader in Bangkok said.

Thailand, the world’s second-biggest rice exporter, will hold an auction for the last 43,700 tonnes of rice fit for human consumption from state stockpiles on Friday. A separate lot of 2 million tonnes, which is unfit for human consumption and for industrial use, will be auctioned next month.

KZ RU EN KG HOME PROGRAMMES NEWS TV SCHEDULE ON AIR AEF 2018 MORE SCIENTIST ALEXANDER PODOLSKIKH HAS DEVELOPED AN EFFECTIVE METHOD OF CROSSING RICE VARIETIES

17.05.2018 11:28 82 Scientist Alexander Podolskikh has developed an effective method of crossing rice varieties. The breeder from Kyzylorda is passionate about rice growing and is tremendously dedicated to his occupation. He is the author of over 150 research works and patents for the development of new rice breeding methods. The scientist of the Kazakh Rice Research Institute has become one of the winners of the “100 New Faces of Kazakhstan” project. In his development, the innovator applied modern methods allowing improving effectiveness of the breeding process tenfold. GULMIRA ASHIRBEKOVA, SENIOR STAFF, ‘RUHANI ZHANGYRU’ CENTER: - Scientists’ work is difficult. Thanks to such qualities as patience and perseverance, Alexander Podolskikh managed to achieve results and produce new rice varieties. He made a significant contribution to the development of science in Kazakhstan. Alexander Podolskikh and his colleagues have produced rice varieties such as “Ak Marzhan”, “Aral” and “Aisaule.” In the recent years, the scientist improved the qualities of the “Syr Sulu” variety. ALEXANDER PODOLSKIKH, BREEDER: - We are currently placing the main focus on the quality and the improvement of the yielding capacity, because it is presently highly evaluated. We can have 100 centners per hectare, but if a variety has poor seeds then the yielding capacity is forty percent and in the end the crop will be forty centners. If we take a variety that yields at least seventy centners, less than a hundred, and the yielding capacity is over sixty per cent, then the crop will be over fifty centners per hectare. Kazakh agrarians highly appreciated the advantages of a number of new high yielding rice varieties adapted to the local environment. 100 new faces of KazakhstanAlexander PodolskikhKazakh rice6 Kyzylorda Нашли ошибку в тексте?

Quartet of NFCR scientists publishes papers in immediate succession

ROCKVILLE, MD - A trio of papers co-authored by four National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) scientists has been published this week in highly-cited and respected journals. Each acknowledges NFCR support as having helped make the works possible.

Rakesh K. Jain, Ph.D., and colleagues detail new knowledge on the interaction of brain cancers, blood vessels and tumor microenvironments, specifically a mechanism by which gliomas resist anti-angiogenesis drugs. The discoveries offer additional insight into why glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the deadliest form of brain cancer, has to-date remained so notoriously difficult to treat, while too potentially paving the way for future therapeutic approaches that account for these findings.

"I had presented some exciting data on vessel cooption in glioblastoma multiforme at the NFCR scientific symposium in August 2017," stated Jain, an NFCR fellow. "Our paper based on that work--supported by the Foundation--has now been published in Cancer Cell."

The article appears in the journal's issue dated May 14th--Monday.

Another paper specific to gliomas, both of whose corresponding authors, Webster K. Cavenee, Ph.D., and Paul B. Fisher, M.P.H., Ph.D., are closely associated with NFCR, too was published on Monday. Availed online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it identifies a connection between various cellular mechanisms associated with cancer and MDA-9/Syntenin, a gene previously discovered by Dr. Fisher, an NFCR fellow.

These findings are explicitly pertinent to better understanding and combating GBM, a cancer on which Dr. Cavenee, NFCR's scientific advisory board chairman, is an authority.

"We have effectively identified a potential Achilles' heel of glioblastoma multiforme that may allow exploitation to uncover enhanced therapies with improved prognosis," summarized Fisher. "In these contexts, MDA-9/Syntenin may provide a viable and effective therapeutic strategy for GBM."

Lastly, Paul Schimmel, Ph.D., co-authored a paper published online today in Nature which advances understanding of mistranslation--errors in the interpretation of genetic information. Dr. Schimmel, an NFCR fellow, is one of the world's leading experts in the field. The mouse model findings outlined in the article, while pertinent well beyond only cancer research, offer new insight into somatic mutations. These, according to the National Cancer Institute's dictionary of cancer terms, are described as such:

an alteration in DNA that occurs after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children. These alterations can (but do not always) cause cancer or other diseases.

"Although a cancer investigation was not pursued in this paper," noted Schimmel, speaking of the Nature piece, "I believe mistranslation can be a course of somatic mutations that lead to cancers."
