Jasper Y.
ArcalasOctober 13, 2016
The
country’s rice inventory as of September 1 declined to 1.78 million metric tons
(MMT), compared to 1.96 MMT recorded in the same period last year, according to
the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).Despite the decline, the PSA said in its monthly report titled Rice and Corn Stocks Inventory, the country’s rice inventory in September was enough for 51 days.
“The total rice inventory for this month would be adequate for 51 days. Stocks in the households would be good for 18 days, those in commercial warehouses for 15 days, and those in NFA [National Food Authority] depositories for 18 days,” the report read.
Of the rice inventory as of September 1, the PSA said 35.37 percent were with households and 29.42 percent were in commercial warehouses, while 35.21percent were stored in NFA warehouses. Almost 80 percent of NFA stocks consisted of imported rice. PSA data showed that NFA stocks during the period reached 625,210 metric tons (MT), while commercial warehouses accounted for 522,450 MT. Rice in households reached 628,110 MT.
“Year-on-year, rice stocks in the households
increased by 9.94 percent. However, stocks in commercial warehouses and in NFA
depositories decreased by 10.17 percent and 22.10 percent, respectively,” the
report read.
On a
monthly basis, rice stocks in all sectors were lower, compared with those in
August. The PSA said stocks in the households dropped by 9.44 percent, in
commercial warehouses by 15.95 percent and in NFA depositories by 20.66
percent. The lean season for rice started in July and ended last month. Local
farmers usually do not harvest rice in the third quarter. The PSA data also
showed that the country’s corn inventory as of September 1 grew by 15.67
percent to 380,570 MT, from 329,000 MT recorded a year ago. The September corn
inventory is also 13.1 percent higher than last month’s inventory of 336,480
MT.“Compared with last year, corn stocks in the households and in commercial warehouses increased by 3.61 percent and 25.19 percent, respectively. On the other hand, stocks in NFA depositories decreased by 96.80 percent,” the report read.
The PSA said 62.04 percent of total corn inventory in August were in commercial warehouses, while 37.95 percent were held by households.
Corn in commercial warehouses reached 236,100 MT, stocks in households accounted for 144,440 MT of the total inventory, while corn stored in NFA warehouses amounted to only 30 MT.
China OKs MoU for 200,000
Tons of Rice
Ms. Sophary told Khmer Times, the MoU came into
effect on Tuesday, two days before China’s President Xi Jinping’s official
visit to the Kingdom.“This agreement was made to pave the way for Cambodia to
export 200,000 tons of rice yearly to the Chinese market,” she said.Chinese
Premer Li Keqiang, in his meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Laos
early last month, pledged to double China’s annual purchase of 100,000 tons of
Cambodian rice to 200,000 tons, starting from next year. China also pledged a
loan of $300 million to Cambodia’s rice millers for building warehouses with
drying facilities.“The more rice we sell, the more income we will get. This
will greatly help revitalize our rice sector,” said Ms. Sophary.
“The Ministry of Commerce, in the interest of
the country’s economy, is constantly finding markets to export to,” she added.Hun
Lak, vice president of the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF), clarified that that
the agreement to sell 200,000 tons of rice to China was negotiated before the
fall in market price of the grain.“Soon after the negotiations, the market
price of rice fell – before the Pchum Ben holidays,” said Mr. Lak.“The rice
exported to China is fragrant ‘Sen Kro Oup’ rice and it is priced between $560
and $600 a ton,” he said. “Though the price is high, Chinese consumers are keen
to have this rice as they say it tastes good.”
Mr. Lak said CRF was working with the Ministry
of Commerce to seek more markets for Cambodian rice.“We are negotiating with
Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Recently, we have had orders from Malaysia,” he said

Punjab to witness 35 per cent
less basmati rice production this year
Farmers have demanded that government must fix
a MSP for basmati on the lines of paddy crops as it will save significant
underground water and bring more foreign exchange to the country.
Last year, as per the Punjab Mandi Board (PMB)
30.78 lakh tonnes of Basmati was procured in the state, which was sown at 7.63
lakh hectares area of land.
Owing to
a poor rate fixed for the basmati crop last two years, the farmers this year
has decided to curtail the area to a significant level. The decision means that
there will be around 35 per cent less production of the basmati crop in Punjab.Farmers have demanded that government must fix a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for basmati on the lines of paddy crops as it will save significant underground water and bring more foreign exchange to the country.
Though there is a possibility that less production may hit the export this yea, however exporters said that last year’s stocks are available which will be carried forward. “There should be some fixed system and for every Rs 100 crores purchase of basmati Rs 10 crore must be kept for the welfare of farmers to provide them farm implements free of cost through a lottery system as it will encourage them to grow more basmati,” said Vijay Setia, former president and current governing body member of All India Export Association Area

CPRMA to go for indefinite shutdown of rice
mills
Source: The Hitavada Date: 13 Oct 2016 11:18:07
Business Reporter,
RAIPUR,
Oct 12,
Rice millers have been demanding revision in
the existing Kharif Marketing-2016-17 policy for sacks, custom milling
rate,transportation charges and out-turn ratio (Jhadti per cent) ahead of the
commencement of milling process
FEARING unavoidable losses in custom milling
for 2016-17 under the existing conditions, the Chhattisgarh Pradesh Rice
Millers’ Association (CPRMA) would go for an indefinite shutdown of rice mills
if their pending issues are not settled within November 10. Since, the lifting
of paddy from procurement centres across the State and custom milling will
commence from November 15, rice millers have been demanding revision in the
existing Kharif Marketing-2016-17 policy for sacks, custom milling rate,
transportation charges and out-turn ratio (Jhadti per cent) ahead of the
commencement of milling process.
The unanimous decision of an ultimatum of
November 10 to resolve the issues related to custom milling for 2016-17 was
taken in the meeting held in Raipur on Wednesday. CPRMA President Yogesh
Agrawal chaired the meeting. Yogesh Agrawal said that the CPRMA members have
strongly voiced their concern over the anti-rice miller’s policy of the
government for Custom Milling-2016-17 which will incur losses to the millers.
Apart from the milling related issues, the increase in power tariff and wages
of labourers will also add to the burden on the mill owners. Thus, with no
change in suitable milling policy, it would become impossible to avoid losses
which are looming large over the millers for the current fiscal, he added.
According to the CPRMA President, delegations
of rice millers met the administration officials at different levels and
apprised them of the problems and demanded early settlement of the issues for
last eight months.
But besides assurances at the official level,
the issues are still not taken-up on priority resulting in reaching a serious
stage. Despite millers co-operating with the state administration, the
announcement of a new policy that goes against the millers have forced the
CPRMA members to go for an indefinite shut-down, said Agrawal.
During the meeting, the millers said that the
rate of milling of normal rice (Arwa) was not reduced below Rs 40 per quintal
for last 15 years. However, apart from increase in production cost for the
current year, the rate of Arwa rice milling has been reduced to Rs 25 from Rs
40 per quintal. Apart from the milling rate, policy related to sacks and
outcome ratio while being framed for 2016-17, were not discussed with the
millers for a mutual fixation, Agrawal added.

Customs PRO
denies report on reverse of rice ban
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has not reversed the ban
on rice.Its Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Wale Adeniyi, a
Deputy-Comptroller, was reacting to a report which indicated that the
Customs had reversed the ban on rice import through land borders.Adeniyi, in a
statement in Abuja, denied the reports which allegedly emanated from him,
saying he never issued such a statement.He said the reports which were
published last weekend were the ones he granted last October.
Adeniyi said the service suspected that some forces behind rice
smuggling were at work, recycling old reports under a different circumstance to
create confusion. “It is necessary to restate the
true position in view of the confusion, which these publications may create in
the industry. It is even more expedient to provide this clarification, given
that the service has taken a firm position earlier in the week through a joint
news conference with stakeholders.“We like to reiterate the position that importation of rice remains banned through our land borders and we have the commitment of partner government agencies and stakeholders to enforce this restriction,” Adeniyi said.
He added that while the restriction is in force, rice imports through the ports are still allowed, subject to payment of extant charges.
“The service will, therefore, advocate a total ban on rice importation into Nigeria with effect from 2017. It is our belief that continuous waste of scarce Foreign Exchange (forex) on a commodity that can be produced locally makes no economic sense, most especially at a period of recession,” Adeniyi stated.
Nigeria spends $2 billion yearly on riceimportation.President Muhammadu Buhari, who made this known recently in Abuja, said to achieve domestic self-sufficiency in rice and other staples by 2018, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had been mobilised to encourage local production of rice, maize, sorghum, millet and soya beans.
The president said farmers in 13 out of 36 states were receiving credit support through the CBN’s Anchor Borrowers Programme.
This must have encouraged Adeniyi to restate the confidence that customs had in the ability of Nigerian Rice Producers (NRP) to fill the sufficiency gaps in the supply of the product.
According to him, Customs had noted the ongoing rice revolution undertaken by many state governments and strategic interventions by Federal Government agencies.
He said the service was convinced that the bumper harvests expected from these efforts will address the supply gap next year, urging Nigerians to watch out for similar antics as the stand on rice smuggling would pitch their selfish interest against national interest.

Customs impounds 37 vehicles of smuggled rice
October 13, 2016
Samuel Awoyinfa, Abeokuta
No fewer than 37 vehicles loaded with illegally
imported bags of rice have been impounded by men of the Ogun State command of
Nigeria Customs Service, while three suspects were also arrested in connection
with the crime.Briefing journalists at its Idi-Iroko Border Station on Wednesday,
the Deputy Comptroller in charge of Enforcement, Mohammed Gagyo, said the
vehicles loaded with the contraband were seized by officers of the command
while on surveillance patrol along Ipokia, Idi-Iroko/Owode and
Alaari/Ifonyintedo axis.
The suspects are, Olowe Oluwabunmi, Bibilari
Olaniyi and Rasheed Abiola.Gagyo, who explained that the anti-smuggling
operation lasted a week, further added that each of the vehicles were conveying
between 100 and 60 bags of illegally imported rice before the command’s
operatives intercepted them along the bush path.Also displayed were confiscated
motorcycles used for smuggling, and a Volkswagen truck with number plate LXD
8870 SR, whose chassis compartment was used to conceal 50 bags of smuggled
rice.Meanwhile, Gagyo said that the ban on importation of rice through the land
borders is still in force, warning smugglers to desist from the criminal act or
face a stiff sanction from the state command of Nigeria Customs

Rice Comment
November rice
recovered a bit today after charting a bearish key reversal yesterday. The
monthly supply/demand report showed increased beginning stocks, and production
resulting in a net increase in ending stocks for the 16/27 marketing year.
Ending stocks are now forecast to be 120.7 million metric tons. Export sales
were 43,100 tons for the week, down slightly from a week ago and certainly not
enough to spark buying interest. November is hovering around support at $10
Fortified U.S.-Grown Rice Promoted at Food Aid Conference
DES MOINES, IA --
This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID) held a joint 2016 International Food
Assistance and Food Security Conference where USA Rice heavily promoted
advances in fortified rice.
The gathering provided an ideal setting for information sharing and collaboration by the broader food aid industry stakeholders, including USA Rice. Both USDA and USAID work independently to carry out a number of international food aid programs that often utilize U.S.-grown rice as part of their food distribution packages including Food for Peace, McGovern-Dole Food for Education, and Food for Progress programs.
Several hundred participants attended multiple break-out sessions and panels that focused on the importance of in-kind food aid. One panel looked at increasing the operational efficiency of in-kind food assistance and another provided examples for the many private voluntary organizations (PVOs) that help deliver food aid overseas to better leverage the availability of in-kind contributions.
During his presentation on Food Aid Quality Review, Dr. Rufino Perez, USAID's Food Technologist and one of the leads on the initiative to promote fortified rice, emphasized the benefits of fortified rice for future U.S. government sponsored feeding programs. Specifically, Dr. Perez noted that rice is a unique commodity, already consumed by millions, and the addition of fortified rice to the USAID and USDA master list of approved commodities holds the potential to "make significant strides in the fight against malnutrition."
He went on to say that there will be increasing quantities of rice in future food assistance programs as "USAID has committed to use this product and will change all future rice procurement to include fortified rice." USDA is already beginning to use fortified rice in McGovern-Dole school feeding programs. Dr. Perez will become the lead on all USAID nutrition programs in the office of Food for Peace in 2017.
"It's important for the U.S. rice industry to attend these broader stakeholder events to learn about the ongoing development of technologies and other innovative solutions to increase the nutritional composition of U.S. food aid," said Sarah Moran, senior director for international promotion with USA Rice who attended the conference. "Dr. Perez further solidified the importance of programming fortified rice into food aid packages, as a new, cost-effective, and innovative way to reverse global malnourishment in children."
USA Rice continues to advocate to USDA and USAID for the prioritization of U.S.-grown rice through their international food aid programs. This year, industry has seen the first increase in food aid shipments of rice in the last five years due to USA Rice efforts, exporting nearly 90,000 MT of rice

Eat our local rice, GRIB urges public
By Gideon Ahenkorah, GNA
Accra, Oct. 13, GNA - The Ghana Rice
inter-Professional Body (GRIB) has called on consumers to patronize locally
produced rice to ensure the viability and growth of industry.It said the low
patronage of local rice is a great disservice to small and medium Enterprises
(SMEs) who have invested their resources into its production.Speaking at the
third annual Ghana National Rice Festival held in Accra, Mr Imoro Amoro, the
President of GRIB, said there has been improvements in the production and
packaging of local rice and this is geared at meeting the demands and tastes of
consumers.The two-day event dubbed, ‘To promote made in Ghana rice’ was held
under the theme: "Eat Quality Ghana Rice for A Healthy Life".
Mr Amoro said with the improved state in the
industry it is incumbent upon government to make more investments in the local
rice industry and to make it the preferred choice for consumers."Today
rice is eaten 7 days a week, [yet] the country imports tons of rice every
year", he said. Mr Amoro called on
government to support the initiatives of GRIB as it seeks to establish
mechanization centers at all rice growing areas of the nation.He appealed for
the imposition of special levies on rice imports saying it would boost local
production as the nation currently spends over 500million dollars annually on
rice imports.Mr Amoro said the nation’s first Ghana Rice Business center was
commissioned in August at Asutsuare and it has made remarkable contributions to
the production of local rice to feed consumers.
He called on government to make concessional
funding accessible to the rice industry as it would help us increase rice
production.As part of its effort to increase the patronage of local rice, Mr
Imoro Amoro said GRIB is launching a quality Ghana Rice Certification logo
which bears the accreditations of Ghana Standard Authority, Food and Drugs
Authority and Brand Ghana office of the Ministry of Trade and Industry.The
event, which brought together many stakeholders and civil bodies, was sponsored
by USAID-ADVANCE, John Agyekum Kuffuor Foundation, GIZ, Tara, Christian Aid,
Wienco and Nestle Ghana Limited.

Research center attempts to
plant grain on saline land
2016-10-14 09:30chinadaily.com.cn Editor:
Xu Shanshan
A research and development center focusing on "sea rice"
agriculture is expected to produce quality grain on saline and alkaline land,
according to a signing ceremony on Wednesday in Qingdao, East China's Shandong
province.Based in Qingdao Licang District, the new center will invest 100 million yuan ($14.8 million) at the initiative stage and is expected to reach over 2 billion yuan in the future.
Yuan Longping, dubbed the "father of hybrid rice", serves as the director and chief scientist for the center.
Sea rice is a product created with genetic engineering technology. Irrigated by sea water with its salinity no lower than one percent, it can yield 200 to 300 kg per mu (0.06 hectares).
The center plans to start planting sea rice next April and it is expected to be harvested next autumn, said Yuan, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
"Sea rice growing out of saline and alkaline land has more mineral content than ordinary rice because sea water contains high microelement," Yuan said.
"Besides, sea rice rows in a wild environment don't suffer [from] plant diseases and insect pests."
According to relevant research, inland China has 1.5 billion mu of saline and alkaline land and 200 million mu of the land has the potential to plant sea rice.
If the availability is at full capacity, a total of 50 billion kg more grain can be produced, which can feed 200 million people.
"Our aim is to develop a product of sea rice yielding of 300 kg per mu in three years," Yuan added.
