Customs on track to raise P10 billion from rice tariffa
July 12, 2019 | 7:55 pm
PHILSTAR
THE Bureau of Customs (BoC) said
that it is on track to achieve the P10 billion revenue target for rice import
tariffs to fund the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), after more
liberalized rice imports started in March.
RCEF is a P10 billion-a-year
component of the Rice Tariffication Law, to be funded by tariffs on imports
shipped in by private parties, in order to fund mechanization, credit, seed and
training programs for rice farmers.
In a statement Friday, the BoC
said privately-imported rice totaled 966,690 metric tons (MT) in the March to
June period, up 422.25% from a year earlier.
“The Bureau is on track to meet
the P10 billion target tariff collection set under law,” the BoC said.
According to BoC, monthly rice
imports averaged 256,445 MT a month, up 454.18% from the average prior to the
implementation of Republic Act (RA) No. 11203, or the Rice Tariffication Law.
The Department of Finance (DoF)
has said that the BoC was able to collect P5.9 billion in tariffs from 1.43
million metric tons (MT) of rice imported by private traders following the
implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law.
The BoC did not explain why it
totals diverge from the DoF’s. The DoF was citing preliminary Customs data.
According to the DoF, the Port of
Manila recorded the highest tariff collections from rice imports, generating
P978.51 million, followed by the Manila International Container Port with
P942.76 million, then by the Port of Cagayan de Oro with P754.13 million.
The Port of Davao, meanwhile,
collected P703.93 million.
“The steady volume of rice
importation is a strong indication that the BoC will be able to meet the target
of P10 billion pesos in tariff collections for the year for remittance to the
RCEF as well as other concerned agencies in connection to RA 11203,” the BoC
said.
Collections in excess of P10
billion will be used to help rice farmers diversify into other crops. — Reicelene

Rice inventory rises 10.1% in early June
July 12, 2019 | 7:55 pm
PHILSTAR
THE national rice inventory was
estimated at 2.598 million metric tons (MMT) on June 1, up 10.1% from a year
earlier, but fell 11.8% month-on-month, the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) said.
The estimate was contained in the
PSA’s Rice and Corn Stocks Inventory report, and is sufficient for about 81
days’ consumption.
Some 40.4% of the rice inventory
were held by households, 38.4% by commercial warehouses, and 21.2% by the
National Food Authority (NFA), with 66.5% of the total accounted for by imported
rice.
The Rice Tariffication law, which
opened up rice imports to private firms who will need to pay tariffs of 35% on
most Southeast Asian grain, took effect on March 5.
According to initial estimates
from the Bureau of Customs (BoC), it has collected P5.9 billion from imports of
1.43 million metric tons (MMT) of rice since the law was implemented.
The NFA’s mission has been
redefined to procuring palay, or unmilled rice, from domestic farmers. In the
first half, it reported procurement of 5.4 million bags of palay.
Inventory held by households and
commercial warehouses fell 4.2% and 21% year-on-year, respectively. Meanwhile,
NFA stocks surged 26,444.2% from a year earlier, when supplies held by the NFA
drew down to close to zero, helping trigger the inflation crisis of 2018 and
providing momentum for efforts to restructure the rice import market.
On a month-on-month basis, all
three posted declines in inventory. Household stocks declined 17.1%; commercial
warehouse inventory fell 11.2%; and NFA stocks declined 1.3%.
The corn inventory was 859,770
MT, up 45.2% year-on-year, and up 3.7% from a month earlier.
Agriculture
sector struggles to recover weakening exports
Hanoi (VNA) – The agriculture sector is struggling to boost the export of key products in the second half of the year amid dropping prices in the world market.According to statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, though the export revenue of agricultural products grew by 2.2 percent in the first six months of 2019, the turnover of main currency earners, including rice, cassava, coffee and cashew, plunged 9.2 percent.
Vietnam exported 3.39 million tonnes of rice for 1.46 million USD in the January-June period, down 2.8 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Except for the Philippines, the country’s three major traditional rice importing countries such as China, Indonesia and Bangladesh all imported less in the reviewed period.
Additionally, the world’s rice prices will likely go down further this year as the US Department of Agriculture forecast the global rice production in 2018 – 2019 to reach 499.1 million tonnes, 4.2 million tonnes higher than the previous year.
Exports of cassava and cassava products were estimated at 1.2 million tonnes, worth 460 million USD, a year-on-year decrease of 19 percent in volume and 15.3 percent in value, also due to the falling demand from China - Vietnam’s main market.
Prices of Vietnamese cassava and cassava products averaged 386.3 USD per tonne, down 2.91 percent year on year. Cassava starch was fetched 425 USD per tonne in average, down 1.7 percent month on month and 15.2 percent year on year.
A similar trend was seen in coffee exports in the first six month. The country shipped abroad 943,000 tonnes of coffee for 1.6 billion USD, down 9.2 percent in volume and 19.9 percent in value from the same period last year. Germany and the US remained the two biggest importers of Vietnamese coffee.
It is projected that global and domestic coffee prices would slide in the short term because of oversupply in the world market.
The six-month export volume of cashew nuts amounted to 197,000 tonnes, 13.1 percent higher than a year earlier, but the value plummeted 11.3 percent year on year.
To get the export of agricultural products back on the track, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development considers shifting focus to seafood and forestry products.
The Institute for Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (IPSARD) suggested farmers to switch areas of unproductive rice cultivation to farming other crops or aquaculture as rice exports do not have much room to grow in the global market like fruit crops or aquatic products. Many of Vietnam’s major buyers are now able to produce enough rice for domestic demand and even for export in recent years.
Not only the fluctuations of the global prices have affected Vietnam’s agricultural product exports but also the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which officially went into force. The trade deal strips 98 percent of tariffs for 11 member countries with a combined GDP of more than 13.5 trillion USD and close to 500 million consumers.
To seize opportunities the agreement would bring, Vietnamese producers must actively explore Vietnam’s commitments and requirements of other member states. They should also think outside the box and take advantage of competition to create motivation for innovation and development.
In addition, Vietnamese enterprises need to seek cooperation with partners from the CPTPP member countries in order to attract new source of investment and advanced technologies, and more importantly, engage deeper in the regional and global supply chain.–VNA
Customs on track to collect P10B from rice
imports
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:07 AM July 13, 2019
Customs
Commissioner Rey Leonardo B. Guerrero on Friday expressed confidence that the
country’s second-biggest revenue agency would hit its P10-billion target
collections from rice tariffs this year.
In a
statement, Guerrero said the Bureau of Customs (BOC) was “on track to meet” the
programmed tax take for 2019 under Republic Act No. 11203 or the Rice
Liberalization Act being implemented since March.
RA 11203
which took effect on March 5, was created to address the crisis that the
country faced due to the shortage of rice in the country in 2018. The rice
tariffication law replaced the former quota system being implemented on rice
imports making it easier for importers and traders to import rice to meet local
demands and lower market prices as well as the country’s inflation rate.
With RA
11203 in place, Guerrero said private rice importation jumped 422.25 percent to
966,690 metric tons between March and June from just 185,100 metric tons (MT)
during the same four-month period last year.
“An average
of 256,445 MT per month of rice importation after implementation of RA 11203
was recorded compared to 46,275 MT average per month for the same period last
year,” the BOC chief added.
“The steady
volume of rice importation is a strong indication that the BOC will be able to
meet the target of P10 billion in tariff collection for the year for remittance
to the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) as well as other concerned
agencies in connection with RA 11203. The RCEF was created to help palay
growers and rice farmers’ cooperatives transition to a new rice regime. At
present, BOC already collected P5.889 billion from rice importation,” Guerrero
said.
Last week,
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said the RCEF being derived
from the revenues coming from rice tariffs were already being distributed.
Under RA
11203, the following tariff rates apply: 35 percent if rice was imported from
Asean; 40 percent if within the minimum access volume (MAV) of 350,000 MT from
countries outside Asean, and 180 percent if above the MAV and coming from a
non-Asean country.
RA 11203
removed the state-run National Food Authority’s (NFA) commercial functions and
regulatory powers while retaining the agency’s emergency buffer stocking
mandate as the government liberalized rice importation to bring down domestic
prices.
Pernia, who
heads the state-planning agency National Economic and Development Authority
(Neda), last week said the country now has “more than enough” rice supply. —BEN

Japan: A place where one can dream
A smart agri machine at ISEKE
Japan: A place where one can dream
13
July 2019
By Asrat Seyoum
Imagine some of the oldest
agricultural equipment such as tractors and combine-harvesters finally being
able to perform their task without the active involvement of farmers. Just
think about a tractor ploughing an agricultural field in precise manner without
needing a driver to steer the wheels. Or an agricultural machine which is
capable of applying fertilizer or plant seeds in standardized way, free of any
human involvement; all the while gathering real-time information about the soil
nature, fertility, moisture and nutrient content; and analyzing it. Not only
analyze but make real-time decisions to guide its action.
Also imagine farmers having critical
support they need to perform rather routine but important tasks such as
watering, applying the right amount of fertilizer, planting seeds and detecting
pest and other problems.
You probably think this is
something out of a science fiction movie; perhaps, very futuristic and
something that cannot exist today, not at least until another century or so.
Well, folks at ISEKI and & CO, LTD, the third largest agricultural
machinery manufacturer in Japan, are here to tell you it might be a lot sooner
than you think.
In fact, they have you believe
that some of these machineries are already available in the Japanese market,
although on a limited, on-demand basis. Better yet, step into their showroom
located in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture (Japanese equivalent of a district),
they will show you self-driven tractors rumbling through the compound and
test-sites.
Within short distance from this
futuristic company is the Japanese International Cooperation Agency-run
training facility featuring a group of agricultural experts and practitioners
from around the world, toiling in the rice fields under the blistering sun,
trying to figure out the most basic mysteries of nature.
Bayissa Gedefa, an agricultural
researcher from Ethiopia who is an agricultural economist by training, has come
a long way to be in JICA’s Tsukuba Agricultural Training C enter. And he is
here to figure out one thing and one thing only: how to better cultivate rice
in his home country and maximize the yields on small-holder farms. Well,
knowing that rice, which is referred to as the “Millennium Crop” in his home
country, and where the dominate staple and cash crops are teff and
coffee, you might think he also is a dreamer; an imaginative who has got a long
way to go.
Bayissa had a short window to
learn what he needs to in the seventh-month practical training program in
Japan. But, he feels that he has already absorbed a lot in his short stay. He
says the training is unique in sense that morning theoretical sessions are
always complemented by practical demonstration and field work in the
afternoons; while still maintaining focus on his rice conundrum back home.
Introduced to Ethiopian farms
some three decades ago, rice is one of the least cultivated major crops in
Ethiopia. Mainly concentrated in the Fogera area of the Amhara
Regional State, rice cultivation is, however, showing strong growth in recent
years. Estimated to have over 30 million hectares suitable for rice
cultivation, Ethiopia exploited only the 1.7 million so far, according to
Bayissa, and almost all of it is done through the so-called upland rice
cultivation method, using either rein or irrigation.
Traditionally, the rice crop is
typical of flooded lowland areas dubbed paddy fields. This, however, does not mean
that highland rein-fed agriculture is not suited for the crop, Bayissa
discusses. This is being exhibited in the recent uptake of the rice cropping in
three Woredas in Oromia Regional State, where Bayissa’s
research institute, Bako Agricultural Research Center, is
largely active.
According to Bayissa, with slight
improvement rice has the tendency to be productive crop in Ethiopia.
Nevertheless, at the moment, the local productivity is 2.8 tons per hectare,
far below the global average of 5.8 tons/hectare; and still lower than maize’s
3.9 tons/hectare yield in Ethiopia.
In fact, rice is currently staple
food for close to half the world population. According to Ricepedia.org,
an online repository of relevant information on the crop, rice is by far the
most important food crop for people in low-and lower-middle-income countries,
with majority of human consumption featuring rice in different formats.
“Ethiopian farmers too are seeing
the value of rice,” according to Bayissa, and his endeavor is to aide this new
dynamism. Surely, there is long way to go before rice takes over the
well-established staples of Ethiopia like teff and
maize. “The most traditional food item commonly found on the table of
Ethiopians for breakfast, lunch and dinner is injera, which is made
from teff. However, nowadays, there appears to be a change
occurring – and not only in the extent of injera consumption,
but also in its composition,” he argues.
“There are a number of recipes
for injera, but the most common use flour made either purely
from teff, or by combining teff, rice and/or maize
flour,” says Bayissa expressing his hope for rice to become a primary item on
the menu of Ethiopians.
“Actually, I am not saying rice
will fully substitute Ethiopian teff injera, but nowadays, I have
been seeing many Ethiopians’ mixing flour of teff with rice to
make delicious injera and local brewery,” he asserts. The
implication being, according to the young researcher, that rice production and
consumption trend in Ethiopia is showing a marked increased from time to time.
Although he believes that this
uptake in rice cultivation is due to mere expansion of the farm lands covered
with rise, Bayissa is convinced even marginal improvement in the usage of
simple agricultural machineries would have huge payback. For now, the limited
groups of farmers, who have dared to venture into the rice business, are still
using very rudimentary, hand-held implements like sickles for ploughing.
On the flip side, one of the
top-of-the line agricultural machineries for ISEKI this year is the so called
Rice-transplanter. This highly automatic machinery uses GNSS satellite guided
systems to plant rice seeds in precise distance and depth so that the yield is
highly maximized for a particular cropping cycle.
Apparently, rice plantation is a
highly precise science with rice seeds placed in particular distance and raw
from each other and kept straight yielding highest output; as high as 35
percent by ISEKI estimates.
Furthermore, since it is not
traditional crop in Ethiopia, rice also suffers from lack of endogenous
knowledge as to the nature of pest and insects that affects its yield
considerably, Bayissa argues in his project inception paper. This is confirmed
by researchers at the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural
Science (JIRCAS), located in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture. According to their
view, rice production around the world is affected various transboundary
diseases like Rice Blast and insects like Rice Planthoppers.
Nevertheless, rice acceptance
among Ethiopian small-holder farmers is also about the availability and price
of select seed varieties. According to Bayissa’s inception paper, since 1991 to
2006, About 29 improved rice varieties have been officially released officially
for large-scale production, globally. “Of these, 10 are upland New Rice for
Africa (NERICA) rice varieties including NERICA-4 NERICA-12, NERICA-13 and
NERICA-3 released for rain-fed upland ecosystem and NERICA-1, NERICA-2,
NERICA-6, NERICA- 14 and NERICA-15 released for upland - irrigated ecosystem,”
he writes. So, what is required is proper matching of the seed varieties with
the right fertilizer ecosystem.
To help with this, Bayissa has
camped at JICA’s Tsukuba center for four months with 800 others who have come
from different countries to learn to solve their individual agricultural
challenges. For the Ethiopian it is about understanding rice seed varieties and
the right level of fertilizers application and the right ecosystem. And he will
have another three month figure it out.
On to another Japanese
prefecture, Hyōgo, you get to meet another set of dreamers: ICT specialists who
are also from Ethiopia imaging and working towards goals that looks pretty
advanced for the current conditions of their home country. Hosted by Kobe
Institute of Computing (KIC), Meklit Teshome, an ICT professional affiliated
with the now defunct Ministry of Communication and Information Technology of
Ethiopia, looks to be on a similar wave length as the innovators in ISEKI, having
chosen smart agriculture as one of her projects while completing her two-year
specialized master’s program with KIC.
According to her, the primary aim
of her project will be to build a centralized data repository for Ethiopia’s
agricultural sector that is instrumental in making machine learning possible,
giving rise, one day, to smart agriculture implements in the rather archaic
agricultural practice of Ethiopia. But for Meklit as well Japan is the perfect
place to even begin to "dream," (in her own words) such things.
On her first year of the two-year
program, Meklit seem to have set hefty goals for her training and explore the
possibilities of developing software applications that could address the waste
management problem of Addis Ababa on top of her smart agriculture project.
Learning at KIC is about flipping
social problems over their heads and finding opportunities for intervention and
further innovation, according to Meklit. “As I'm an ICT student, I have to
think over which area of a problem can be supported using ICT? Obvious, ICT can
be applied to all area of identified problems. But my solution should address
the majority of society,” Meklit says.
Waste is a big social problem in
Ethiopia especially in urban areas, Meklit says. “I was part of the society I
face a lot of problems caused by waste when I live in Addis Ababa. Once I'm in
Japan I noticed how clean the city is, how the society takes care of the
environment and how waste is useful if it is managed and organized properly.”
All in all, Meklit asserts that
waste management is about three major things: attitude, resource and
infrastructure. “So, I am designing a system to support the waste collection
process using mobile technology. I also want to do some applications which will
be implemented in schools to gradually change the attitude of the young
generation towards waste management,” she explains.
Months away from finishing her
training and her innovative project involving ICT solutions to address health
issues, Mahlet Sharew is another dreamer attempting to tackle one of the most
deep-rooted problems in Ethiopia: stigma and misconception surrounding mental
and developmental health disorders. Her project seeks to devise ICT-based
solution to early detection of autism symptoms in children and providing the
proper care. In a nation like Ethiopian where millions of children with
developmental disorders are left in homes hidden from the world for the Stigma
associated with the health problem; and all the beliefs of evil spirit causing
such disorders, the task of devising a simple ICT-based solution that can
dictate autism and which can easily be operated by medical professionals
(nurses, doctors, and others) certainly pushes the border.
“The use of ICT solutions for
early autism detection in children is of vital importance as many lives are
destroyed by the lack of resources, in this regard,” Mahlet said in her
interview with The Reporter. The stigma surrounding mental health
issues in Ethiopia and the misconceptions about the causes of the disorder is
really appalling. “Many regarded Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to have
supernatural causes precipitated by angered ancestral spirits, sinful
wrongdoing predominantly by the mother, or the action of the devil,” says
Mahlet; and that is why she has set out to work on an ICT-solution that can
easily be implemented. “So, I want to fill the gap and proved ICT solutions
(ASD Screening tools) that can easily operate by a nurse”.
Both Meklit and Mahlet are highly
confident of the training they are receiving from KIC. They specifically site
the so called the “Tankyu” method, apparently practiced only in the Institute,
which entails a process of learning through solving social problems. “We taught
techniques of identifying the problems [social problems], whatever they maybe,
and finding solutions,” Meklit says adding, while polishing our skills in the
process. This is what makes KIC training different from an ordinary
postgraduate training, according to Mahlet, “KIC trains students how to use ICT
to solve social problems; and how to design a business model for one’s project?
Whereas other postgraduate trainings focus more on technical aspects,” says
Mahlet.
The Japanese seems to be going to
a different direction when it comes to formal education and training: sort of
like the third way in education. Largely driven by interactive,
practical-problem solving education, the Japanese public education system is of
the highest quality.
Implementing an educational
philosophy dubbed “TOKKATSU” at elementary and junior high levels, which
entails the full education of the mind (knowledge), the soul (morality and
societal value) and the physical body (health), Japanese public education
system appears to be among the highly-rated in the world. And they want to
share that with world, particularly Africa.
So far, from Africa, Egypt
appears to be interested and has built 5o elementary schools fully guided by
“TOKKATSU”. For the rest, for the time being, Japan’s short and long-term
international training programs appear to be attracting a number of professionals.
Situated in the city of Tsukuba,
alternatively known as the “Science City” with its 300 research and training
centers, JICA’s Tsukuba training center appears to be a place where a number of
developing county’s professionals are afforded the material and intellectual
prerequisites to dream, and dream big.

generates N6.7b in six months, intercepts 29,000 bags of Smuggled rice in Ogun
July 12, 2019
SIX MONTHS, INTERCEPTS 29,000 BAGS OF SMUGGLED RICE
IN OGUN
The
Ogun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has generated more than 6.7
billion Naira and intercepted more than twenty nine thousand bags of
smuggled foreign rice between January and June 2019.
The
Customs Comptroller in the State made this known while speaking on the
achievements of the command.
TVC
News Kazeem Olowe reports that the Comptroller of Customs in Ogun State
confirmed that activities of the command at its Idiroko border office in Ipokia
Local Government Area of the state have been positive in the the last six
months.
He
said his men have increased the tempo of their anti-smuggling operations,
noting that the operatives also impounded 197 used vehicles within the period.
He
noted that the seizure of more than twenty nine thousand bags of rice in the
first half year of 2019 was indeed a landmark. Other items seized include
hundreds of kegs of vegetable oil, new and used pairs of shoes, motorcycles and
used tyres.
He
commended the bravery of his men and warned smugglers that no amount of
intimidation and harassment can make them relent on their efforts in sanitizing
the nation’s borders.
In
the period under review, Micheal Agbara said the command generated more than
6.7 billion Naira as against its revenue targeted of 3.8 billion naira.
UMD students
track effects on wild rice
There, students spent the day collecting soil samples alongside
a UMD grad student.
The work will help find the effects of sulfur and sulfides on
wild rice.
“This kind of work is very meaningful,” Arianna Northbird, a UMD
student, said. “This is a community based project, so what we’re doing here is
very beneficial for the tribe and the community around us.”
After their hands-on research, students will write a paper and
make a poster. They’ll eventually present it to several agencies, including
Fond du Lac tribal scientists.
"Rice Is In Everything"
is New USA Rice Mexico Promotion
By Gabby
Carbajal
MEXICO CITY,
MEXICO -- USA Rice's favorite mascot, Ricky Rice, has a cousin in Mexico! Arrozin, which means "Little Rice"
in Spanish, made his debut as the newest USA Rice mascot at the foodservice trade
show, "Exporestaurantes 2019," here last month.
"Arrozin
helped kick off the new USA Rice promotion called, "El Arroz Esta En
Todo" (Rice Is In Everything), and created great buzz as people were
lining up to take selfies and post them on social media," said Asiha
Grigsby, USA Rice manager of international promotion. "Throughout the three-day long trade
show, Arrozin made the rounds with attendees, distributing recipe brochures,
assisting our chefs who demonstrated new rice dishes, and even breaking out
some dance moves!"
Arrozin has
already been on tour, stopping at the American Rice Festival at the University
of Metepec, at Sam's Clubs throughout Mexico City, and the occasional TV
appearance to educate consumers about the benefits and advantages of US rice.
"Arrozin
was created to bring a fun face to the origin story of how U.S. rice came to
Mexico," said Grigsby. "Fans
can follow Arrozin and the "Rice Is In Everything" campaign on
various USA Rice Mexico social media platforms such as Facebook (Vida Sana Con
Arroz), YouTube (usaricetv), and Twitter (@usaricemexico)."
Stay tuned to
see what Arrozin is up to next!
Tropical Storm Barry may harm Arkansas rice crop
Jul 12, 2019

and Extension Center. Taken June 19, 2019.
Mary Hightower, U of A System
Division of Agriculture
Arkansas’
rice crop, delayed by a wet spring and bludgeoned by high heat, is now facing a
triple threat from Tropical Storm Barry, whose remnants are expected to drop
heavy rain on the eastern side of the state on Sunday.
A
forecast map issued by the National Hurricane Center on Thursday showed
potential rainfall totals ranging from 4 to 10 inches in eastern Arkansas, with
the higher amounts expected closer to the Mississippi River.
“Berry
has the potential to dump inches of rain during flowering and heading – rain
which will disrupt pollination,” said Jarrod Hardke, extension rice agronomist
for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.
“We’re
very vulnerable at this point, particularly as the plants begin flowering,”
Hardke said. “A little wind is good — we like to have pollen on the move,
because it means improved chances for pollination and grain fill. But if we get
excessive winds and heavy rains during this period, particularly during the
middle of the day, it’s bad news.
“It’s
not that common in July, but you can end up blanking out entire panicles from
severe wind and rain,” he said.
The
rain presents an additional worry.
“All
that moisture will further aid disease development such as sheath blight and
blast,” Hardke said.
The
third worry is whatever strength Barry still might be packing when he sweeps
into Arkansas. If accompanied by strong winds, the tropical storm can also
cause early lodging.
Lodging
is a condition in which the plant’s stalks start to lean or are flattened,
which makes the grain difficult to harvest.
The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday that July 2018
through June 2019 represented the wettest 12 months on record for the 48
contiguous states, with an average rainfall of more than 37.8 inches — 7.9
inches above average. According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock,
several cities had more than their share of rain in June. West Memphis saw 186
percent of its normal rainfall, Pine Bluff had 110 percent of its normal
rainfall and Little Rock had 123 percent of its normal June rainfall. On the
flipside, Jonesboro came in at 91 percent of normal.
“The
weather is very much an unknown,” Hardke said. “One of the problems with the
sporadic thunderstorms this time of year is that they pop up in the middle of
the day, when plants are actively attempting to flower. If a storm hits around
4 p.m., it’s not that big of a deal — most of the flowering for that day is
complete. But noon is the worst possible time for a storm to hit rice in this
stage.”
Aside
from storms, growers will also be keeping an eye on nighttime temperatures.
“Once
we pass flowering, and get into the grain fill stage, the concern is the night
time temperatures getting too high,” Hardke said. “It can lead to chalky rice
kernels, rather than translucent. It’s just not as desirable an appearance,
although it doesn’t necessarily change how the rice cooks or eats. In extreme
cases, it can lead to yield losses.
“This
is always a concern this time of year, he said. “But with everything else
that’s happened to us this year, I think everyone would agree that we’re all
kind of hoping for a pass at some point this season. We’ve gotten hit with
about everything possible in one season so far — we’re due to miss one.”

South Korea provides 5,000 metric tons of
rice to WFP's Uganda refugee support operations
REPORT
11 Jul 2019
NAKIVALE, Uganda – The United
Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today welcomed an important contribution of
5,000 metric tons of rice from the Government of the Republic of Korea to WFP’s
refugee support operations in Uganda, which will help feed more than 200,000
refugees.
“The Republic of Korea believes
food relief is the first step in enabling refugees to restart their lives and
embark on a journey toward self-reliance,” said the Korean ambassador to Uganda
Ha Byung-Kyoo, at Nakivale refugee settlement in Isingiro district, where the
Korean rice was delivered. He added that the Korean government and its people
are deeply concerned about the suffering of women and children arriving in
difficult humanitarian conditions.
The donation supports Uganda’s
efforts to assist refugees who have fled conflict and hunger in the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC) and other conflict areas in the region, and will assist
the refugees to cope with the initial pressures of displacement, while enabling
them to rebuild their lives, and peacefully coexist with their Ugandan
neighbours.
“This is an extremely welcome and
generous gift,” said WFP’s Country Director Mr El-Khidir Daloum. “It is also a
significant one, coming from a country that has itself experienced war and
displacement, and has since made remarkable efforts to rise from the ruins,” he
added.
WFP will use the Korean donation
to provide food assistance to 213,000 refugees as part of their monthly food
basket. The rice will help to diversify diets and improve nutrition among the
most vulnerable refugees. The rice will replace maize in the July and August
food assistance cycles in Kyaka II, Kyangwali, Nakivale, Oruchinga and
Rwamwanja.
WFP is 100 percent
voluntarily-funded organization, so every donation counts towards WFP being
able to provide refugees with regular food assistance in support of Uganda’s
refugee policy. This is the second rice donation WFP in Uganda has received
from the Republic of Korea, having received 5,000 metric tons last year.

PHL rice
supply expanded to 2.6 MMT in June—PSA
July 12, 2019
Sacks

Manila in this file photo.
THE country’s rice inventory as of June 1 rose by 10.1 percent
to nearly 2.6 million metric tons, from 2.36 MMT recorded last year, according
to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
PSA figures showed that the total volume of rice in households
and commercial warehouses reached 1.049 MMT and 998,230 metric tons,
respectively. The National Food Authority’s (NFA) buffer stock was estimated at
551,060 MT.
On a monthly basis, however, the total stockpile in June was
11.8 percent lower than the 2.947 MMT recorded in May, the PSA said in its
monthly report published on Thursday.
“Compared with their levels a month ago, decrements were noted
in all sectors. Stocks in households, commercial warehouses and NFA
depositories were lower by 17.1 percent, 11.2 percent and 1.3 percent,
respectively,” the report read.
The PSA said rice stocks in households and commercial warehouses
fell by 4.2 percent and 21 percent, respectively. In contrast, stocks in NFA
depositories jumped by 26,444.2 percent.
“Of this month’s total rice stocks inventory, 40.4 percent came
from the households and 38.4 percent were from commercial warehouses. The NFA
depositories contributed 21.2 percent of the total rice stocks inventory,
comprising 66.5 percent of imported rice for the reference period,” the report
read.
The PSA continues to monitor total rice inventory to ensure that
the country has ample supply of the staple.
In the same report, the PSA said the country’s total corn stock
inventory expanded by 45.2 percent to 859,770 MT, from 592,010 MT recorded in
June last year. The latest figure was also 3.7 percent higher than the 829,110
MT recorded last May.
“Around 9.3 percent of the current stocks inventory level was
contributed by the households and 90.7 percent were from commercial
warehouses,” it added.
Corn stocks held by commercial warehouses reached 779,740 MT
while those in households were estimated at 80,020 MT.
“Relative to their levels from the previous year, increments
were noted in the households and commercial warehouses by 71.7 percent and 43.0
percent, respectively. On the other hand, there were no corn stocks in NFA
depositories during the month,” the report read.
“Stocks in the households decreased by 20.8 percent with
reference to the previous month’s inventory level. In contrast, stocks in
commercial warehouses increased by 7.1 percent. Still, there were no corn
stocks in NFA depositories for the month,” it added.
Rice inventory rises 10.1% in early June
July 12, 2019 | 7:55 pm
PHILSTAR
THE national rice inventory was
estimated at 2.598 million metric tons (MMT) on June 1, up 10.1% from a year
earlier, but fell 11.8% month-on-month, the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) said.
The estimate was contained in the
PSA’s Rice and Corn Stocks Inventory report, and is sufficient for about 81
days’ consumption.
Some 40.4% of the rice inventory
were held by households, 38.4% by commercial warehouses, and 21.2% by the
National Food Authority (NFA), with 66.5% of the total accounted for by
imported rice.
The Rice Tariffication law, which
opened up rice imports to private firms who will need to pay tariffs of 35% on
most Southeast Asian grain, took effect on March 5.
According to initial estimates
from the Bureau of Customs (BoC), it has collected P5.9 billion from imports of
1.43 million metric tons (MMT) of rice since the law was implemented.
The NFA’s mission has been
redefined to procuring palay, or unmilled rice, from domestic farmers. In the
first half, it reported procurement of 5.4 million bags of palay.
Inventory held by households and
commercial warehouses fell 4.2% and 21% year-on-year, respectively. Meanwhile,
NFA stocks surged 26,444.2% from a year earlier, when supplies held by the NFA
drew down to close to zero, helping trigger the inflation crisis of 2018 and
providing momentum for efforts to restructure the rice import market.
On a month-on-month basis, all
three posted declines in inventory. Household stocks declined 17.1%; commercial
warehouse inventory fell 11.2%; and NFA stocks declined 1.3%.
The corn inventory was 859,770
MT, up 45.2% year-on-year, and up 3.7% from a month earlier. — Vincent

BOC on track to meet P10-B rice tariff target
Manalo,
Danny
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) was
right on track to meet the P10 billion collection target set under the Rice
Tariffication Law, Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero said Friday.
The Rice Tariffication Law or Republic Act 11203 took effect on
March 5, 2019.
According to a BOC the statement, there was a
422.25-percent increase increase in the tonnage of privately imported rice
since the law came into effect: 966,690 metric tons from March to June 2019,
compared to only 185,100 metric tons for the same period in 2018.
The BOC added that an average of 256,445 metric tons per month
of rice had been imported since the implementation of RA 11203, compared to the
average 46,275 metric tons per month for the same period last year.
“The steady volume of rice importation is a strong indication
that the BOC will be able to meet the target of P10 billion pesos in tariff
collection for the year for remittance to the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement
Fund (RCEF), as well as other concerned agencies in connection to RA 11203,”
the bureau explained.
As of Friday, the BOC had already collected P5.889 billion from
rice importation.
“Indeed, as the country is aimed to improving its food security,
the BOC is likewise committed to do its part to generate revenue and contribute
to the advancement of the nation’s rice industry,” the release added.
The Rice Tariffication Law was enacted to lower the cost

The handing over of three tractors,
an excavator and other rice-farming equipment will boost rice production.
The Permanent Secretary for the Office of the Prime Minister
Yogesh Karan officiated at the handing over saying rice farmers need to make
use of vacant land to plant rice thus encourage import-substitution.
“Here
we got an abundance of land and we not making use of it. So we have to make
land more productive”.
Karan says with the assistance given, farmers need to be
innovative in order to rejuvenate rice farming in Dreketi.
“This
is the challenge I want to give to all of you that we must start thinking
outside the box and rejuvenate rice farming in this area”.
The land around Dreketi is generally flat and well suited for the
production of rice.

Rice
production in southern provinces drops by 23,000 tons
Report by the Department of Crop
Production said that southern provinces grew more than 1.64 million hectares of
rice in the summer-autumn rice crop of this year, a decrease of 46,000 hectares
compared to the same period last year, with productivity estimated at 5.6 tons
per hectare, up 1.39 tons per hectare.
In terms of rice variety structure, fragrant and
specialties rice accounted for 24.8 percent; high-quality rice held 44 percent;
medium-quality rice made up 19 percent; and the rest was glutinous rice and
other varieties. Total rice production was estimated at 9.2 million tons, down
23,000 tons compared to summer-autumn rice crop last year.
According to statistics by the Vietnam Food Association, rice export volume in the first six months of this year reached 3.39 million tons, a drop of 2.8 percent over the same period last year, worth US$1.46 billion, down 19 percent over the same period last year. Average rice export price was at $429 per ton, down 15 percent compared to the same period last year.
As for the autumn-winter rice crop, the department put forward two solutions. In the first solution, Mekong Delta provinces will grow 750,000 hectares of rice, up 9,380 hectares over the same period last year, with estimated production at above 4 million tons of rice.
In the second one, the area of rice will be adjusted to 700,000 hectares, down 4,062 hectares over the same period last year, with expected production at more than 3.8 million tons. Around 10,000 hectares will be used to grow other crops which give higher economic efficiency than rice.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on July 11 held a conference to preliminarily summarize production of the summer-autumn rice crop and deploy the plan for the autumn-winter rice crop at provinces in the Southeast region and the Mekong Delta.

Cambodia seeks
to export rice to Africa through Korean firms
Thou Vireak |
Publication date 12 July 2019 | 08:05 ICT
The Kingdom’s rice exports in the first half of this year were
281,538 tonnes, up 3.7 per cent year-on-year.
Cambodia plans to export rice to
African markets through South Korean companies, as its EU market share showed
signs of drop in the first half of this year.
In addition to the Chinese
market, the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) expects exports to Africa to help
fill the EU market share, said its secretary-general Moul Sarith.
The CRF met George Kim J H, the
CEO of South Korean manufacturer JS Global Corporation and many other South
Korean government small- and medium-enterprise agents on Wednesday to explore
opportunities to export Cambodian rice to African markets.
Sarith told The Post that JS
Global Corporation expressed its interest in investing in rice exports from
Cambodia to Africa.
He says Korean companies will
only buy pure white rice from the Kingdom to meet market demand in Africa.
“Rice [exports] to Africa does
not need to be expensive. Africa just needs white rice. I think we’ll find a
country that needs lower grades of rice. The living standards of many Africans
are still low and they need affordable rice,” he said.
Cambodia’s rice exports in the
first half of this year were 281,538 tonnes – up 3.7 per cent year-on-year. Of
these 118,401 tonnes (42.06 per cent) went to China. Only 93,503 tonnes (33.21
per cent) went to Europe, said a report from the Secretariat of the One Window
Service for Rice Exports for Formality.
“If we can further expand the
market, our exports will increase. Rice exports to Africa can help further
boost our exports,” said Sarith.
Amru Rice (Cambodia) Co Ltd
vice-president Kann Kunthy said his company welcomes JS Global Corporation but
said he is worried that Cambodian white rice will not be able to compete with
that of Vietnam or Thailand.
“We support new markets, but the
main issue is that our white rice cannot compete in terms of price."
“Exports to Africa have no tax
exemption, so we have to compete with Vietnam and Thailand,” he said, adding
that prices for Cambodian white rice currently range between $430 and $460 per
tonne, compared to the $300 price tag in Vietnam and Thailand.
Cambodia’s rice exports to Africa
in the first half of this year was nearly 20,000 tonnes, according to a
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries report.

Strong rupee
props up Indian rice export prices
Reuters . Bengaluru | Published: 00:00, Jul
12,2019
Rice export prices in India extended gains this week helped by a
stronger rupee, while expectations of fresh supplies entering the market
weighed on Thai rates along with muted demand across major paddy-growing
countries.
Thailand’s benchmark 5-per cent broken rice prices were quoted
at $390-$404 a tonne on Thursday, free on board Bangkok (FOB), down from
$395-$413 last week.
‘The new crop is expected to start entering the market next
month and this has driven the price down a little but the strong baht also
means that the export price remains strong overall,’ a Bangkok-based rice
trader said.
Demand for Thai rice has remained flat as the local currency
strengthened, traders added.
Thailand’s rice exports fell by 12 per cent in the first half of
2019, hurt by the stronger baht, and will likely fall short of this year’s
target of 9.5 million tonnes, an exporter group said on Wednesday.
Thailand shipped 4.2 million tonnes of rice between January and
June with orders in the last two months falling to as low as 600,000 tonnes per
month, according to the Thai Rice Exporters Association.
For top rice exporter India, prices of the 5 per cent broken
parboiled variety were quoted around $374-$377 per tonne this week, up from
last week’s $371-$374.
The Indian rupee on Thursday rose to its highest level in
11-months, trimming exporters returns from overseas sales.
‘For white rice demand is negligible. There’s modest demand for
parboiled from African buyers,’ said B V Krishna Rao, president of the Rice
Exporters Association (REA).
The Indian government has also raised the price at which it will
buy new-season common rice varieties from local farmers by 3.7 per cent.
Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh will procure 4,00,000 tonnes
of paddy at Tk 26,000 or $307.73 a tonne during the current harvesting season
to support local farmers reeling under declining domestic prices, food minister
Sadhan Chandra Majumdar said.
Market insiders, however, said the move would not benefit most
growers in dire need of cash, since they were compelled to sell their crop at
much cheaper rates to millers or middlemen.
Bangladesh has also been unable to clinch deals since its ban on
rice exports was lifted in May.
In Vietnam, rates for 5 per cent broken rice rose to $335-$340 a
tonne from $330-$335 last week, as traders looked to increase profits,
merchants said.
‘Demand for 5 per cent broken rice has been lacklustre this
week,’ a trader based in Ho Chi Minh City said. ‘We have received orders for
fragrant rice only.’
Preliminary data showed nearly 60,000 tonnes of rice is to be
loaded at Ho Chi Minh City ports during the July 1-16 period, compared with
311,700 tonnes in June, another trader said.
Most of the new shipments were headed to Iraq, Malaysia and West
Africa, the trader added.
