rice. (Reuters Photo/Romeo Ranoco)
Manila. The Philippines' state grains procurement agency on Tuesday
(29/05) gave the go-ahead for local traders to import up to 805,200 tons of
rice under an annual quota scheme, which should boost domestic supply and keep
rising prices in check.
The imports, which should be
shipped in starting July, would bring total rice purchases approved this year
to 1.3 million tons, including half-a-million tons that the National Food
Authority (NFA) has bought to replenish its depleted buffer stock.
The Southeast Asian country, a
frequent rice buyer, is seeking to stabilize retail prices of the national
staple that have risen by as much as 7 percent from a year ago amid the absence
of the low-priced NFA supply in the local market.
Higher rice prices have added pressure to Philippine inflation,
which accelerated in April to the highest in at least five years.
The NFA expects its imports to
start arriving this week.
Under the import guidelines
posted on the NFA's website, traders are allowed to import 25 percent broken
white rice or a better variety, with a 35 percent tariff. Delivery should be
completed by February next year.
The country-specific quota scheme
allows traders to import up to 293,100 tons from Vietnam and the same volume
from Thailand.
They can buy up to 50,000 tons
from China, another 50,000 tons from India, and the same volume from Pakistan.
Up to 15,000 tons can come from
Australia, up to 4,000 tons from El Salvador and the balance of 50,000 tons
from any country.

Uzbekistan to reduce area of rice fields due to water problems
30 May 2018 12:46 (UTC+04:00)
By Kamila Aliyeva
Uzbekistan intends to reduce the
area of rice fields from 162,000 to 94,000 hectares due to water shortage.
This became known following the
results of a video-conference chaired by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev
held in the capital on May 29.
The meeting stressed that this year
there were relatively few precipitations in the country, and that caused a
shortage of water in most regions, which requires its more rational use.
“In this regard, there was a need
to reduce rice fields from 162,000 to 94,000 hectares, provide farmers of the
Khorezm region with 7,500 hectares of land in the Syrdarya region, which has no
problems in water supply, and farmers of Karakalpakstan with 5,500 hectares of
land in Djizak region - for the cultivation of rice as a re-culture,” the
presidential press service said.
Besides, in Kashkadarya, Samarkand,
Bukhara, Navoi regions and Karakalpakstan, where water shortages are expected,
the areas for repeated crops will be reduced by 30,000, 42,000, 20,000, 14,000
and 10,000 hectares, respectively, Sputnik reported.
It is necessary to pay attention to
the cultivation of mush, beans and other undemanding to water crops in these
regions, including forage crops with their placement near water sources,
according to the Uzbek president. Heads of relevant ministries and departments
are given specific instructions for the timely and effective organization of
these works.
In the first four weeks of May
prices for rice in Uzbekistan rose sharply. According to the Central Bank, the
cost of this crop has increased by 16.7 percent. The main reasons for the
increase in prices, according to the regulator, were the expected dry year, a
deficit of irrigation water in comparison with previous years, a possible
reduction in crop areas, as well as deferring the supply of rice from the side
of the harvesters.

Chinese researchers expand test of saline soil rice
29.05.2018
Researchers Monday expanded the testing of rice growing with
saline-alkali soil across China to choose breeds with quality and optimum
yield.According to Zhang Guodong, deputy director of Qingdao's saline-alkali
tolerant rice research and development center,in eastern Shandong Province, the
new tests almost cover all major types of saline-alkali soil in China.
The six testing bases are located across Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and
the provinces of Heilongjiang, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi.
"The tests will examine the performance, yield, taste, and cost of
saline-alkali tolerant rice on different types of saline soil," said
Zhang.A section of land at each testing base will be used for soil amelioration
using a technique created by the Qingdao center. It is expected to transform
the saline land into arable land within two to three years.Yuan Longping,
China's "Father of Hybrid Rice" who helped found the Qingdao center,
said that if 100 million mu (6.7 million hectares) of saline land can be used
to grow saline-alkali tolerant rice, the country could produce an extra of 30
billion kg of rice if production per mu reaches 300 kg.
On Monday, the center also announced the completion of yield test of its first
batch of drought-resistant rice varieties in Dubai. The rice breed can produce
more than 500 kg per mu.
The USFDA is
the third regulatory body to give its nod to Golden Rice | Max Pixel
US food and drug regulator approves Golden
Rice for consumption; among Asian nation, Philippines and Bangladesh lead in
research and testing of GR2E.
Bengaluru: The US food and drug regulator has approved the world’s first genetically modified rice, called Golden
Rice, for consumption amid a raging controversy over GM food.
Developed over the past 20 years,
the GR2E Golden Rice has been touted as a solution to Vitamin-A deficiency
(VAD) in many underdeveloped and developing nations, especially in Asia where
rice is often the staple food.
A 2008 study on malnutrition found that VAD, which exhibits symptoms such
as blindness and dwarfism, kills over six lakh children every year.
In our neighbourhood, the
Philippines and Bangladesh lead in the research and testing of GR2E.
The USFDA is the third regulatory
body to give its nod to Golden Rice, named for its yellow-golden colour, after
approvals from The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and Health
Canada in February and March this year respectively.
Early history
Back in 1999, two scientists — Ingo
Potrykus of the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology and Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg
— published a paper introducing the first version of Golden Rice (Oryza sativa
). They had introduced the DNA of daffodils and bacteria in regular rice,
making it a pale yellow colour instead of pure white.
Then field trials were conducted in
the US, the Philippines, and Taiwan in 2001, and more recently in Bangladesh in
2015, which confirmed that the crop could produce nearly five times as much
beta-carotene as crops in greenhouses.
Later in 2005, a Swiss company
called Syngenta (now acquired by ChemChina) merged Golden Rice genes that
produce carotenes with those of maize, resulting in more than 20 times improved
production of beta-carotenes in the new variety.
Now, the GR2E is being developed by
the non-profit International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines.
Controversies
The campaign against GR2E was
partly misinformed, partly politically motivated. Green Rice was probably one
of the earliest, if not the only, GM crop where the debate is no longer about
pest resistance and chemical fertilizers, but about benefits.
One argument is that the benefits
of GR2E are too little. But this isn’t the case at all. Several studies have shown that GR2E provides enough Vitamin A to combat VAD with a minimal amount
of rice, just over half a cup a day.
Detractors also offer alternative
sources for Vitamin A such as sweet potatoes, but such foods are not available
in all seasons or affordable to everyone. Contrary to popular belief, carrots
do not have as much Vitamin A as one would think.
Greenpeace is probably the biggest
critic of any GM crop developed. Its primary argument is that the crop does not
benefit farmers, only commercial enterprises. But data disproves this. GR2E has
a cap of commercial use set at $10,000. Farmers or any consumers are allowed to plant and replant this crop
as long as they don’t exceed this amount in profits. Farmers are also allowed
to keep the seeds and replant them. Furthermore, licences are free as well.
Future
Bangladesh and the Philippines lead
the path to releasing the first GR2E variety for consumption. IRRI is also
currently working to create healthier rice varieties that contain improved
quantities of iron, zinc, and beta-carotene.
“Each regulatory application that
Golden Rice completes with national regulatory agencies takes us one step
closer to bringing Golden Rice to the people who need it the most,” said IRRI director general Matthew Morell.
“The rigorous safety standards
observed by the US FDA and other agencies provide a model for decision-making
in all countries wishing to reap the benefits of Golden Rice,” he added.
New early-maturing rice released
BRRI dhan87 to yield 6.5 tons a hectare
Independent Online Desk
Bangladesh Rice Research
Institute has developed an early maturing highly productive monsoon rice
variety suitable for Aman season.
National Seed Board (NSB) in its
meeting on Wednesday gave release approval to the grain – BRRI dhan87 – which
has been bred through a cross between BRRI released earlier rice variety, BRRI
dhan29 and a wild rice called Oryza rufipogon.
BRRI scientists told UNB that the
newly released variety BRRI dhan87 will mature up to 7 days earlier than BRRI
dhan49, which BRRI had released 10 years back as an Aman variety. The duration
of the new one is found to 125 to 130 days comparing to 135 days required for
BRRI dhan49 to grow.
As against BRRI dhan49’s per
hectare productivity of five tons, the BRRI dhan87 will grow 6.5 tons a
hectare. The new variety’s yield potential (6.5 tons/hectare) is at par
Bangladesh’s most popular Aman season rice variety Mukta (BR 11). It’s a
welcome move as largely degenerated Mukta, released nearly 38 years ago, badly
required a good varietal replacement.
BRRI dhan87 has tough culm, light
green leaf, and long, wide and erect flag leaf. The panicles are long and
remain visible through flag leaves during ripening. The grain is long and
the kernel is straight. The market price of the rice will be higher as the
kernel is long and slender. This is export quality rice.
Pest and disease infestation in
BRRI dhan87 is comparatively lesser than other conventional varieties, said
BRRI scientists. unb
Biggest rice crop in four years
expected in SWLA
Wednesday, May 30th 2018, 9:27 pm PKTWednesday, May 30th 2018,
9:32 pm PKT
By Dakota Watson
IOWA, LA (KPLC) -
The biggest rice yields in four years are expected by rice farmers
across Southwest Louisiana.
The LSU AgCenter held its first rice field day of the year in Iowa
to keep farmers up to date with the latest recommended practices.
Several experts gave presentations and advice on how to prevent
diseases and pests to produce the most yields.
Dustin Harrell, the state’s extension rice specialist, says they
were worried about production at the start of the year, but are now expecting
big results.
“It stayed colder a lot longer than it normally does here in
Southwest Louisiana," Harrell said. "But then as soon as that left,
it went from winter to summer almost immediately, and when that happened our
rice really began to take off and grow well.”
Harrell also stated that while an agreement has been in place for
the United States to sell rice to China for about a year, progress
has stalled.
Harrell says with the current trade negotiations, it looks as
though rice farmers across the country will have to wait even longer to tap
into China’s rice industry.
Here is a list of the rest of the field days in the series:
·
May 31, Evangeline Parish rice field day at the Bieber Farm, 1
mile west of Mamou on Bieber Road, starting at 8:30 a.m.
·
June 5, Vermilion Parish rice field day at the Lounsberry Farm
east of Lake Arthur on La. Highway 14, starting at 4 p.m. followed by supper at
the Klondike Fire Station.
·
June 13, Acadia Parish rice field day at the South Farm of the H.
Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station, starting at 8:30 a.m.
·
June 27, Rice Research Station. Field tours start at 7:15 a.m. and
the last trailer will leave at 9 a.m., followed by a poster session and indoor
presentations.
·
July 18, Northeast Louisiana rice field day at the Colvin Farm at
632 Scales Road, Rayville, followed by indoor presentations at the Rayville
Civic Center at 817 Louisa St., Rayville, 9 a.m. until noon
Vietnamese
group wins Japonica rice export contracts to RoK

Hanoi
(VNA) – Vietnam’s Tan Long Group has won three contracts
to sell 50,000 tonnes of Japonica rice to Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade
Corp of the Republic of Korea, 70 percent of the bidding volume.
Tan Long has entered the rice export market in recent years.
Its rice processing plant is located in Lap Vo district in the Mekong Delta
province of Dong Thap with capacity of 180,000 – 200,000 tonnes of rice per
year.
The company’s traditional markets are the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Recently, it has been able to access the Republic of Korea – a choosy market
with strict regulations on quality and date of delivery.
Japonica is a high-quality round grain variety, which has been cultivated in
the Mekong Delta for the past 10 years.
Since late 2016, Tan Long Group has won bids to provide this kind of rice to
the RoK.
In 2017, the group won two contracts to export more than 41,000 tonnes of rice
to the market.
The outcomes were attributed to the company’s efforts to build a rice
production chain in the Mekong Delta – the rice bowl of Vietnam.
It aims to connect farmers with rice processing plants to expand the production
of high-quality rice for exports by applying new modern technology.
Vietnam earned 1.1 billion USD from exporting 2.16 million tonnes of rice in
the first four months of 2018, up 35.7 percent in value and 21.7 percent in
volume.
China remained the biggest rice importer of Vietnam with 29.1 percent of the
rice market share, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development.
Average export price for rice showed a year-on-year rise of 15 percent to touch
501 USD per tonne, thanks largely to improved quality.
High-quality rice comprised up to 81 percent of rice export volume, the
ministry said, forecasting the world’s rice market will see a decrease in
supply and increase in demand in the near future.
In 2018, Vietnam is forecast to ship 6.5 million tonnes of rice abroad, up
700,000 tonnes compared to 2017.
According to Vietnam’s Rice Market Development Strategy, one of the
country’s goals is to gradually reduce the rice export volume but increase the
value of exported rice.
Vietnamese rice is now exported to more than 130 markets worldwide.-VNA
Seawater rice goes to Middle East
2018-05-30
11:21:05Global TimesEditor : Li Yan
New variety to be
widely promoted in China by 2020
China is promoting its seawater
rice in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, hoping to help feed more people in
countries with large portion of saline-alkaline land, the research team told
the Global Times on Tuesday.
A total of 176 varieties of seawater
rice are being tested on five types of saline-alkaline land in China, including
Kashgar in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Daqing in Heilongjiang
Province, Dongying and Qingdao in Shandong Province and Wenzhou in Zhejiang
Province. A saline and deteriorating farmland in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province is
another test ground for the seawater rice, CCTV reported.
Researchers will screen better rice
varieties suitable for different climates and various degrees of salinity and
alkalinity, Zhang Guodong, the deputy director of the Sea-Rice Research and
Development Center in Qingdao, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
The seawater rice along with its
standard planting technique can be widely promoted across China by 2020 after
the first national standard seawater rice breed was approved in 2019, Zhang
said.
Seawater rice or
salt-alkali-tolerant rice is designed to grow in tidal flats and
saline-alkaline land and can survive after being immersed in seawater. The
project was led by Yuan Longping, who has been dubbed as China's "father
of hybrid rice."
Aside from China, the team is also
considering promoting seawater rice in Middle Eastern countries, such as the
United Arab Emirates, and Southeast and South Asian countries, including
Vietnam, Sri Lanka and India, Zhang told the Global Times.
"We hope to get financial
support under the Belt and Road initiative framework for a 100
hectare of seawater rice experimental plot in the desert of Dubai, which will
start planting at the end of June," Zhang said, adding that "some
Chinese banks in Dubai expressed their willingness to finance our
project."
China and the UAE plan to jointly
promote seawater rice in the Middle East and northern African countries by
establishing a seawater rice promotion center, Zhang added.
Experimental seawater rice planted
in January in Dubai is expected to yield more than 500 kilograms per mu, the
Science and Technology Daily reported
Li Xinqi, a research fellow at the
China National Hybrid Rice R&D Center, told the Global Times that seawater
rice is vital to China's food security. If the technique spreads across the
world, it will also largely contribute to people's food supply as part of
China's agricultural "Go Out" strategy.
"If the seawater rice expands
to 100 million mu with the lowest rate of 300 kilograms per mu, rice production
would increase by another 30 billion kilograms, and 80 million more people
could be fed," Yuan said.

Buhari: Three years in the saddle
May 30, 2018
Despite the knocks for his
administration, President Muhammadu Buhari insists that his administration has
worked hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians in the last three years,
FELIX NWANERI reports
With great expectations, Nigerians
ushered in the Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government
on May 29, 2015 after 16 years unbroken rule by the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP). The euphoria that greeted the government was not unexpected. Many had
blamed the nation’s woes on “PDP’s misrule” and it was expected that the APC
government would turn things around within a short time.
The then opposition party had made
a catalogue of promises during the campaigns and there was no doubt among the
populace that Buhari, a former military leader, was unaware of the heavy burden
he must shoulder to turn the tide given his tortuous road to presidency.
Buhari, particularly assured
Nigerians that he will bring positive changes in the lives of Nigerians within
two years as his desire for change has not diminished. His promises revolved
around three key issues – fight against corruption, insecurity and job
creation. According to his blueprint, part of his strategies and plans,
especially in the area of corruption, is to draw a line to ensure that the
cankerworm, which has remained the bane of Nigeria’s development, is dealt
with.
On the economy, he said: “We have
lined up programmes on how to tackle unemployment. We are going to assemble a
team of professionals for wealth creation and employment for our teeming
youths. We will also put a mechanism in place to improve on the economy. Our
main objective is to make sure that agriculture and other non-oil sectors get
priority to create opportunities for Nigerians, so that whether educated or
not, they have gainful employment.”
He also assured on security,
saying: “Whatever we are going to do, we have to secure Nigeria first. What we
are witnessing in the North-East, where people are being killed is not
acceptable. We know that the Nigerian military is capable of bringing peace and
stability to this country. They need to be given the leadership and that is
what I promise, if elected.”
But most Nigerians believe that not
much has changed after two years of the APC-led Federal Government. The
discontent that compelled Nigerians to vote out the PDP in the last general
elections is yet to be addressed.
For a man, who had in his inaugural
speech said he was ready to make a change, Buhari seems to have dashed the
hopes of even some of his die-hard supporters, who had hope that it was a new
beginning on his assumption of office.
Besides inability to meet
expectations, issues have been raised about Buhari being in charge. The
opposition equally believes that the APC government has failed to meet the
expectations of the people. The main opposition party, PDP, is of the view that
the Buhari-led administration had rather made living more difficult for
Nigerians.
Despite the knocks for his
administration, President Buhari insists that his administration has worked
hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
Minister of information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who spoke at a press conference to mark the third
year anniversary of the Buhari administration, said the All Progressives
Congress (APC)-led Federal Government has recorded several achievements that
are beginning to impact positively on the lives of Nigerians.
His words: “Let me say,
unequivocally that this administration has kept its social contract with the
Nigerian people by delivering on its campaign promises. We are putting our
nation on the path of sustainable growth and development, diversifying our
economy like never before, tackling corruption at its very core and devising
creative measures to secure lives and property.
“After just three years, Nigeria is
rising again like a phoenix from the ashes of years of massive looting of the
national treasury, misgovernance and fallen oil prices. Under the able, focused
and patriotic leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, this administration has
recorded many firsts in so short a time, achievements that are beginning to
impact positively on the lives of Nigerians.”
The minister maintained that no
government in the history of Nigeria has ever done so much with so little,
adding that while naysayers pretended to be blind to achievements of the
administration, Nigerians who are being positively impacted by the good works
of President Buhari applaud and appreciate his efforts.
He said: “Where many saw
challenges, we saw opportunities. Where many saw impossibilities, we saw
possibilities. We surmounted every opposition on our path to deliver on our
promises to Nigerians. While naysayers pretended to be blind to our achievements,
Nigerians who are being positively impacted by the good works of President
Buhari applaud and appreciate our efforts, from the feedback we are getting.
“They know and acknowledge the
sincerity, transparency and accountability of the Buhari administration. They
know and support the administration’s diversification effort, which is paying
off. We must be able to own our own future. We cannot be a hostage to oil price
or production levels. That means taking back control of our economy and making it
productive, and delivering value for all of our people. That’s exactly what we
are doing.”
Citing some of what he described as
“unprecedented achievements” of the present administration, Mohammed said: “In
just three years, the Buhari administration has taken power generation to an
all-time high of 7,000MW, from the 2,690, which we inherited. In just three
years, the Buhari administration has taken distributable power to an all-time
high of 5,000MW. In just three years, this administration has moved Nigeria
closer to self-sufficiency in rice more than an administration before it. It’s
just two years away from meeting its target production of 6 million metric
tonnes of milled rice, meeting Nigeria’s consumption.
“In just three years, this
administration has increased the number of rice farmers from five million to an
all-time high over 11 million. In just three years, this administration has cut
Nigeria’s rice import bill of $1.65 billion annually by 90 per cent, the
highest such cut ever. In just three years, this administration has slashed
leakages in government spending that made corruption possible, thanks to the
diligent implementation of the Treasury Singles Account (TSA) and the
hugely-successful Whistle-Blower Policy.
“In just three years, this administration
is feeding 8.2 million pupils in 45,394 schools in 24 states, employing 87,261
cooks in the process. In just three years, this administration has been paying
conditional cash transfer of N5,000 monthly to 297,973 poorest and most
vulnerable households. In just three years, this administration has delivered
10 million, 50kg bags of feritilizer at a low price N5,500 (for 2017 alone).
The country now has annual savings of US$200 million in foreign exchange and 60
billion annually in budgetary provisions for fertilizer subsidies.
“In just three years, this
administration is turning around the nation’s infrastructural fortunes,
including power, roads and rail, thanks to the unprecedented N2.7 trillion ($9
billion) that has been spent on infrastructure. In just three years, this
administration has raised capital expenditure in the yearly national budget to
an unprecedented 30 per cent on the average.”
On the issue of security, the
minister said the Buhari administration has retaken every inch of Nigeria’s
territory from insurgents, flushed them out of their safe havens and put them
on the run. “To a large extent, security and normalcy have been restored to the
North-East. The Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), aimed at combating
trans-border crime and the Boko Haram insurgency, has been rejuvenated.

MAV importation of 805,000 MT of rice set in June
May 31, 2018, 2:23 PM
By Madelaine B. Miraflor
If the supply of rice in the Philippines
has been on a downtrend in the past months, this scenario will completely
change starting June as the country anticipates the arrival of imported rice
done through a series of importation.
For instance, the bidding for the
importation of 805,000 metric tons (MT) of rice under the Minimum Access Volume
(MAV) scheme of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is scheduled in two weeks’
time.
This will be on top of the
importation of 500,000 MT of rice through a government-to-government and
government-to-private bidding that just recently took place, according to the
National Food Authority (NFA).
The first tranche of imported
rice from Thailand and Vietnam should start arriving this week until June 15,
2018, while the imported volume under open tender scheme is expected to arrive
not later than July 31 for the first 200,000 MT and not later than August 31
for the remaining 50,000 MT, said NFA sources.
(Juan Carlo de Vela / MANILA BULLETIN FILE PHOTO)
All of this, while the overall
output for the country’s palay production is expected to slightly improve in
the first half of the year.
Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) said that palay production for January to June 2018 may reach 8.67
million MT, 1.20 percent higher than the 8.57 million MT output in 2017.
Slapped with a lower tariff, MAV
refers to the volume of commodities that is allowed to be imported by a member
country as a commitment to WTO.
Rice importation under this new
program is pursuant to Republic Act No. 8178, or an act replacing quantitative
import restrictions (QR) on agriculture products, except rice,
with tariffs.
To compensate for the expiration
of QR, the Philippine government unilaterally extended the MAV commitments of
805,200 MT and corresponding tariff concessions to maintain special treatment
through Executive Order No. 23 (EO 23).
The MAV and tariff concessions
will remain in place until December 31, 2020 or until an amendment to the
Agricultural Tariffication Act, which exempts rice from tariff is passed.
Based on the recent guidelines
released by the National Food Authority (NFA), private traders can soon import
as much as 805,000 MT of white rice under MAV.
The auction has been scheduled on
June 14.
All rice to be imported under
this scheme shall be levied with 35 percent tariff to be paid in advance with
the Land Bank of the Philippines.
Based on the guidelines, shipment
of rice imports will be divided into two phases — first of which should
arrive in the country from July 1, 2018 until August 31, 2018, while the last
shipment should be here by December 20, 2018 until February 28, 2019.
Rice traders are allowed to
source from countries with a specific quota and from omnibus origin, or other
rice-producing countries.
Under the MAV Country Specific
Quota (MAV-CSQ), traders may import 50,000 MT from China; 50,000 MT from India;
50,000 MT from Pakistan; 15,000 MT from Australia; 4,000 MT from El Salvador;
293,100 MT from Thailand, and 293,100 from Vietnam.
Vietnamese
group wins Japonica rice export contracts to RoK
Vietnam’s
Tan Long Group has won three contracts to sell 50,000 tonnes of Japonica rice
to Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp of the Republic of Korea, 70
percent of the bidding volume.
Tan
Long's rice processing plant
Tan
Long has entered the rice export market in recent years.
Its
rice processing plant is located in Lap Vo district in the Mekong Delta
province of Dong Thap with capacity of 180,000 – 200,000 tonnes of rice per
year.
The
company’s traditional markets are the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Recently,
it has been able to access the Republic of Korea – a choosy market with strict
regulations on quality and date of delivery.
Japonica
is a high-quality round grain variety, which has been cultivated in the Mekong
Delta for the past 10 years.
Since
late 2016, Tan Long Group has won bids to provide this kind of rice to the RoK.
In
2017, the group won two contracts to export more than 41,000 tonnes of rice to
the market.
The
outcomes were attributed to the company’s efforts to build a rice production
chain in the Mekong Delta – the rice bowl of Vietnam.
It
aims to connect farmers with rice processing plants to expand the production of
high-quality rice for exports by applying new modern technology.
Vietnam
earned 1.1 billion USD from exporting 2.16 million tonnes of rice in the first
four months of 2018, up 35.7 percent in value and 21.7 percent in volume.
China
remained the biggest rice importer of Vietnam with 29.1 percent of the rice
market share, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Average
export price for rice showed a year-on-year rise of 15 percent to touch 501 USD
per tonne, thanks largely to improved quality.
High-quality
rice comprised up to 81 percent of rice export volume, the ministry said,
forecasting the world’s rice market will see a decrease in supply and increase
in demand in the near future.
In
2018, Vietnam is forecast to ship 6.5 million tonnes of rice abroad, up 700,000
tonnes compared to 2017.
According
to Vietnam’s Rice Market Development Strategy, one of the country’s goals is to
gradually reduce the rice export volume but increase the value of exported
rice.
Vietnamese
rice is now exported to more than 130 markets worldwide.-VNA
Border rice export declines as China reduces
MSP
Submitted by ttwin on Wed,
05/30/2018 - 16:27
Writer: Zeyar Nyein
Rice export via border route had
decreased over the past two months as China reduced minimum support price
(MSP), said Lu Maw Myint Maung, general secretary of Myanmar Rice Federation. "Maritime trade is regular. But border export declined in
April and May this year. This is because China has reduced MSP," said he
said.
Up to May 11 this 2018-2019 fiscal
year, 278,963.160 tons of rice and broken rice were exported, earning US$96.752
million, according to the Ministry of Commerce. Over 114,400 tons of the total
were exported by sea and over 164,500 tons through border route.
It has been targeted to reach 4
million tons of rice in export in three years with expected earnings of US$1.5 billion.
Thanks to extended rice markets 3.6
tons of rice could be exported in the previous 2017-2018 FY, reaching record
high in over 50 years.

Grain processing machinery market deep dive
New study by PMMI Business Intelligence looks at consumer trends
and how they influence machinery purchases.
By Jim Chrzan, VP Content/Brand Strategy
The value of the grain machinery market is estimated to have
been $0.4 billion in 2016 in the United States; IHS Markit forecasts it to grow
with 2.0% CAGR from 2016 to 2021.
The US is the largest cultivator of corn and its grain farming
includes more than 5 million farms in the country, where corn competes against
crushed oilseed as a livestock food source. US grain farms also include oilseed
and vegetable crops, and the farmers tend to plant and harvest crops with the
highest yield and payout. The US market for grain processing machineries is
divided into two main product types: grain harvesting machineries and crop
harvesting machineries.
The demand for grain processing machineries in the US is driven
by government policies and consumer trends in eating habits. The United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides official marketing standards for
grains and oilseeds, which require exported grains such as corn, mixed grains,
oats, canola, barley, rye, sunflower seed, wheat, etc. be officially inspected
and weighed. These standards are established under the United States Grain
Standards Act.
With the increasing demand for non-synthetic natural food
preservation methods, there is an increase in demand for semi continuous High
Pressure Processing (HPP) technology for rice and grains processing, as these
types of machinery are used to remove allergen proteins from rice grains,
destroy pathogens, and extend the life of food substances. Although small
manufacturers are not able to afford these high-cost HPP machines, they are provided
on a commercial tolling basis in the US.
There is an increasing demand for oscillating granulator and
high shear mixer granulator machineries in the US market, as these machineries
are used to granulate food substances with wet and dry granulation. They also
further grade foods and sort products by shape, size, and quality, and remove
spoiled food from fresh products.

'Senmaida':
Scenic rice terraces evoking old Japan
By Vicki L Beyer
TOKYO

Ichikawa's Noto Peninsula. Photo: VICKI L BEYERTravel
Japan is comprised of mountainous,
volcanic islands with less than 20% arable land. Since Japan's staple food
for more than 3,000 years has been rice, building rice paddies by terracing the
mountain slopes was once essential to maximizing food production. While
these terraced paddies are often small and therefore difficult to cultivate
using modern machinery, there are still several areas in Japan where local
farmers are using them. They are not only productive, but scenic as well.
Where large numbers of terraced
rice paddies cover a hillside, the area is known as tanada (terraced
paddies) or senmaida (a thousand rice
paddies). Many are quite remotely located, so that visiting by car is
advised, but some are accessible by public transportation and recommended to
the intrepid tourist looking to see the essence of "old
Japan". Below is a sampling.
Chiba: Oyama Senmaida
Photo: VICKI L BEYER
The Oyama Senmaida are located in
Kamogawa, making them accessible as a day trip from Tokyo. Although there
aren't actually 1,000 rice paddies here (apparently the number is closer to
350), it's one of the largest networks of rice paddies this close to
Tokyo. The 800-year-old terraces have also been designated as a Chiba
Prefectural Landmark and as a "cultural landscape."
Oyama terraces are lit
up at night in winter. Photo: VICKI L BEYER
Perhaps because of these
designations and the proximity to Tokyo, the local community that manages the
paddies hosts a number of events throughout the year to keep the area
interesting to tourists, including a winter and late summer light up using
small solar-powered lights placed on the edges of the terraces. It is
quite soothing to watch the twilight fade as the solar lights get stronger
bringing the terraces into relief. Other events include indigo dyeing,
mochi (rice cake) pounding and paper-making.
Access: An easy drive from Tokyo, especially using the Aqua Line
tunnel. To use public transportation, take the JR Sotobo Line to
Awa-Kamogawa Station. From the east exit, take the bus bound for Hiratsuka
Hongo and get off at Kamanuma (20-30 minute ride). From there it's about a
20-minute walk.
Ichikawa: Shiroyone Rice Terraces
Photo: VICKI L BEYER
The Shiroyone Rice Terraces are a
highlight of Ichikawa's Noto Peninsula. Here there are actually 1,000
(well, 1,004, to be precise) paddies, mostly running down the steep slope
between Highway 249 and the Japan Sea shoreline. It is a dramatic sight in
any season, but is apparently most popular during its winter light-up
(mid-October to mid-March), when the tiny paddies are rimmed with solar lights
that change color every 30 minutes. This network was predominately
developed in the 17th century and doesn't seem to have fallen out of use as
much as some other terraces in more remote parts of Japan. It is part of
the Noto Peninsula's agricultural system registered with Globally Important
Agricultural Heritage Systems, which is administered by the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Access: Easily accessed by car from Kanazawa or Wajima, but there is
also a bus: the Machino Line, Hokutetsu Oku Noto Bus from Wajima; get off
at Shiroyone (30-40 minutes).
Mie: Maruyama Senmaida
Photo: VICKI L BEYER
Deep in the mountains of southern
Mie Prefecture, yet just a dozen kilometers from the west coast of the Kii
Peninsula lies the Maruyama Senmaida. This network of more than 1,300 rice
paddies was built on the steep mountainside over a period of 400
years. According to local records, in the 16th century, there were more
2,200 paddies. Some of the paddies are so small that a local legend tells of
someone who once counted them, came up one short, and found the missing paddy
under an open umbrella.
By the 1990s, this senmaida was
down to just 500 paddies in cultivation, and then local preservation efforts
began. Local events such as a planting festival in May and a "send
away the bugs" dance in July (including evening illumination) help attract
visitors. During my mid-winter visit, plush mannequins in various costumes
were posed around the paddies.
Access: This is quite a remote location, best reached by car (don't
use the Tripadvisor map--you'll end up in the wrong place). There is a bus from
Kumano-shi Station (bound for Seiryu-so Onsen; get off at
Senmaida/Toritoge-Iriguchi and walk 30 minutes.) Although there is a small
parking area/viewing platform near the top, there are no other amenities,
making this a great spot to pack in your own picnic!
Niigata: Hoshitoge no Tana
da
Photo: VICKI L BEYER
For a truly remote collection of
rice terraces, try Hoshitoge, nestled in a steep valley in
Niigata. Although this landscape seems to have been re-contoured, with
small paddies consolidated and reshaped to allow for mechanical cultivation,
the setting and expanse of the paddies is still spectacular. Like many
terraced rice paddies, the "mirrors" created by the flooded paddies
are among the best scenes to behold.
Niigata is known for its heavy
snows, making these paddies all but inaccessible in winter. In the other
seasons, however, there are small parking lots for cars and tour buses (and
even toilet facilities) at the top.
Access: Hoshitoge no Tanada is sufficiently remote that local
tourism authorities don't recommend using public transportation to reach it
(although there is a Tokamachi Community Bus that runs from Matsudai Station to
the village of Hoshitoge; it's probably a 20-30 minute walk to the tanada from
the village bus stop. Tourists using public transportation are
recommended to take the train to Matsudai Station and take a 20 minute taxi
ride from there. It is about an hour's drive from the city of Tokamachi.
The "owner" system
In a system similar to the garden
allotment system many cities have for vegetable cultivation, many senmaida offer
the opportunity to become an "owner" (well, really it's more like
adopting a rice paddy). Oyama, Shiroyone and Maruyama all have owner
programs.
To participate in most owner
programs, the annual fee is 30,000 yen per 100 square meters. The
cultivation activities are organized/managed by a local trust or NGO, so all
you have to do is show up and help. In fact, if you can't make it, others
will do the work for you based on your financial support. As an
"owner", you're entitled to the rice produced by your
paddy. Depending on the location the yield ranges from 10 to 40 kg of rice
per year. It's a great way to get non-farmers more connected to the land
and more aware of what's involved in rice production, but even more so a great
way to ensure the preservation of these beautiful agricultural systems.
After all, rice paddies don't just
happen. Their edges have to be carefully created with wooden frames
covered with clay soil (finding remnants of these wooden frames is often the
clue archaeologists need to identify ancient settlements). The paddies
need to be nearly level in order to be properly flooded, and they are often
constructed in a network so that water can flow downward from one paddy to
another, perhaps a reason why mountainside terracing was once so
popular. The entire system has to be regularly maintained and is often
repaired in the spring before planting time. It's a lot of work and
increasingly when driving through the countryside one sees abandoned rice
paddies, or even former rice paddies that have been covered with solar panels
to make them energy fields instead.
It is often said that wet paddy
rice cultivation, and particularly the cooperative work it required
historically, was the driving force that shaped Japan's culture, values and
society. Indeed, rice is so ingrained in the Japanese diet that the word
for steamed rice, gohan, is often used to mean
"meal". Standing at the top of a cascade of terraced rice
paddies, irrespective of the season, one can truly appreciate the significance
of this amazing food and what it takes to produce it.

Last bag of paddy would be procured’
HYDERABAD, MAY 30,
2018 23:37 IST
Procurement in rabi exceeded
target: Eatala
Finance and Civil Supplies Minister Eatala Rajender has asserted
that the State government was committed to procure paddy from farmers as
assured.
As against the targeted 32 lakh metric tonne for the current rabi
season, the government had procured 33 lakh metric tonne so far. The quantum
procured included the paddy crop that suffered damages due to the untimely
rains that lashed several parts of the State in the past few weeks. “We are
committed to procure the last bag of paddy from farmers,” he said.
The Minister told reporters here on Wednesday that the reforms
initiated by the government in procurement and related processes had ensured
that millers were returning rice within stipulated time after milling paddy.
The government could effectively check practices like a section of millers
obtaining bank loans on the basis of the paddy given to them.
Payments streamlined
Steps had been initiated to ensure that payments to millers were
made on time and the entire transactions had been streamlined since the
introduction of e-POS system. Besides, steps had been taken to enhance the
internal efficiency of the Civil Supplies Corporation which was bridging the
losses it had suffered in the past.
Mr. Rajender, however, urged consumers who were not willing to
consume rice supplied through public distribution system not to draw rice from
fair price shops and sell it to middlemen. The government was spending ₹30 per kg of rice that was being procured and supplying it to
the deserving below poverty line families at ₹1 a kg. “The ceiling for drawl of rice had also been lifted and it will
not be appropriate for consumers to draw the rice and sell it to middlemen,” he
said.
Asked about the food security cards, he said the government had
received over two lakh applications of which 70,000 had been cleared after
verifying the details of the beneficiaries. The remaining applications would
also be cleared once the department completed the necessary process involved in
the issuance of these cards.
Nat'l ID, rice tariffs to complement TRAIN mitigation
measures
May
30, 2018, 8:02 pm
MANILA -- The government is
accelerating the rollout of social mitigation measures such as unconditional
transfers (UCTs) and fuel vouchers, which need to be complemented by the
enactment into laws of a national ID system and the lifting of restrictions on
rice imports, to further ease the impact of inflation on the country’s
vulnerable sectors, the Department of Finance (DOF) said.
In a news release issued Wednesday,
Finance Assistant Secretary Ma. Teresa Habitan said changing the way rice is
imported - by shifting from setting import quotas to just imposing tariffs on
cheaper imports of the grain - would help stabilize the supply of rice and
lower its prices in the retail market, which will help the poor the most as
rice accounts for 20 percent of their consumption.
A national ID system, meanwhile,
will minimize leakages in implementing the UCT program and other social welfare
programs; and will help ensure that the cash aid reaches the legitimate
beneficiaries, Habitan said.
These twin measures, she said, will
help cancel out the minimal impact of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and
Inclusion (TRAIN) Law on inflation and speed up the rollout of the social
mitigation measures provided under this law.
Based on estimates by the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), rice tariffication alone will immediately lower the
inflation rate by 0.4 percentage points, “which already offsets TRAIN’s impact
on prices,” Habitan said.
Up to 30 percent of the incremental
revenues collected under TRAIN, which is the first package of the Duterte
administration’s Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP), has been earmarked
for social protection programs to help vulnerable sectors cope with the minimal
inflationary impact of this tax reform law.
“The impending passage of the
national ID system law will complement these programs given the ambitious
target of delivering social welfare benefits to 10 million poorest family
beneficiaries,” Habitan said ahead of the resumption of the House of Representatives’
ways and means committee hearing on the second tax reform package of the CTRP,
which covers corporate taxation and the modernization of investment incentives.
Habitan and Director Juvy Danofrata represented the DOF at the hearing.
According to Habitan, the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has so far released some
PHP4.3 billion to the Land Bank of the Philippines for some 1.8 million
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries with existing LandBank
cash cards. Another 2.6 million household beneficiaries are in the process of
getting their cash subsidies in May and June. For 2018, some PHP24 billion will
be released to cover the poorest 10 million households.
Moreover, the Department of Energy
(DOE) and major petroleum companies, such as Pilipinas Shell, Phoenix Petroleum
and Petron agreed last March to provide fuel discounts for public utility
vehicles (PUV) drivers, while the Department of Transportation (DOTR) is
preparing the fuel vouchers for duly-franchised PUVs, Habitan said.
On the part of the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI), it has put in place the e-Presyo, an Online Price
Monitoring System, where people can check the prevailing prices of basic
necessities and prime commodities that are being monitored by the department.
“It serves as a price guide for consumers in doing their grocery shopping,
which in turn ensures ‘value for money’,” Habitan said.
She reiterated that TRAIN had a
minimal upward effect on April’s 4.5 percent inflation rate, which rose mainly
due to rising crude oil prices in the world market and adjustments in the
peso-dollar exchange rate. TRAIN’s contribution to the April inflation rate was
confirmed by the BSP, DTI and the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA) to be only 0.4 percentage points, Habitan said.
She said that 3 percent of April’s
inflation rate can easily be attributed to higher economic growth and stronger
domestic demand, given that people now have more money to spend as a result of
the reduced personal income tax rates under TRAIN.
Of the balance of 1.5 percent,
Habitan said 0.2 percentage points was the result of the increase in the excise
tax collections on cigarettes. (DOF/PR)
NegOcc to get
80,000 bags of NFA rice by June
By Erwin Nicavera May 31, 2018, 9:11 am
BACOLOD CITY -- The National Food Authority (NFA) in Negros Occidental is
expected to get an initial allocation of 80,000 bags of rice from Vietnam by
June 10.
NFA-Negros Occidental Provincial
Manager Frisco Canoy said his office received a notice from NFA central office
that the vessel started loading the rice supply on Wednesday.
The loading of the 80,000-bag
allocation will take about five days, he said, adding that a five-day travel
period will also be included in the schedule.
“We are expecting to receive the
allocation within the second week of June,” he said Wednesday.
Canoy said that once the rice
supply is unloaded to the warehouses in the province, they will start the
distribution to accredited local NFA rice retailers.
The NFA has four warehouses in
Negros Occidental, including those in San Carlos City, Ilog town, and
NFA-Negros Occidental compound and Bredco port, both in Bacolod City.
These storage facilities, which
have been empty for a while, are ready to accommodate new buffer stocks, Canoy
said.
He added that Negros Occidental may
have an additional buffer allocation of 80,000 bags under the second tranche,
possibly in July, subject to final approval of the NFA.
Canoy said Negros Occidental is now
one of the disport (discharge port) provinces in the Visayas for the arrival of
imported rice from Vietnam.
Previously, the vessel does
directly unload rice imports to the province, and the allocations for Negros
Occidental came from either Cebu or Iloilo.
Other disport areas in the Visayas
include Iloilo for Western Visayas; Cebu for Central Visayas, and Tacloban or
Eastern Visayas. (PNA)
Palay buying price hits 2-year high
The uptrend in the average farm-gate price
of palay is now on its ninth week and has breached the P21 a kilo (kg) mark for
the first time in nearly two years, data from the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA) showed.
As of the third week of May, the average
farm-gate price of palay rose by 0.10 percent to P21 a kg from the previous
week’s P20.97. This was 8.57 percent higher than the previous year’s quotation
at P19.36 a kg.
Based on PSA data, this was the highest
recorded average farm-gate price of palay since 2015, when the country’s palay
production decreased due to the El Niño dry spell. The sector was able to hit a
P20.91-a-kg price level during the third week of September that year.
For the first quarter of the year, the
country’s palay production surpassed last year’s output by 4.6 percent to 4.62
million metric tons (MT) from 4.42 million MT.
The increase was mainly due to the sector’s
expanded harvest area that has led to an increase in rice yield. For the
period, the country was able to produce 3.87 MT per hectare (MT/ha) from 3.85
MT/ha in the same period last year.
Despite the steady rise in farm-gate
prices, rice farmers said the gains were offset by higher production costs
brought by the implementation of the first package of the government’s new tax
reform, which led to higher fuel costs.
The farm-gate price is expected to
stabilize this month as the harvest season ends and the lean months begin.
Likewise, prices for rice in the market
have been increasing since the start of the year. As of the third week of May,
average retail price for regular-milled and well-milled rice climbed to P40.23
and P43.93 a kg, respectively. Compared to year ago levels, prices have gone up
by 5.22 percent and 7.08 percent, respectively.
In a statement issued last week, the
National Food Authority said consumers could expect the government’s subsidized
rice, priced at P27 a kg, to be back in the market starting this week.
NFA spokesperson Rebecca Olarte said the
expected arrival of the rice imports would be on June 2 and the shipments were
to be discharged in the ports of Surigao and Subic.

bowl, the rice you're eating could get less nutritious as time goes on. A study
out this month shows rising carbon dioxide levels reduce the amount of several
nutrients found in rice, the primary source of food for more than 2 billion
people worldwide.
"Climate change will bring
about very profound changes in the food supply," says Dr. Adam Drewnowski,
epidemiology professor and director of Center for Public Health Nutrition at
the University of Washington.
Dr. Irakli Loladze, a
mathematician and climate change nutritional expert at Bryan College of Health
Sciences, says, "It's not just rice, it's not just iron or zinc, but the
majority of essential elements drop in the majority of plants."
The issue is carbon dioxide.
Plants use CO2 to make sugars, which fuel their growth. Loladze — who has been
studying the effect of carbon on plants since the '90s — found the more CO2
plants encounter, the more sugars they make and the fewer nutrients.
The researchers studied
octagon-shaped plots among fields growing 18 common strains of rice in China
and Japan. They pumped extra CO2 into the flood-irrigated rice paddies and
analyzed the grains over four different harvests from 2010 to 2014. The
findings were troublesome.
"We found that nitrogen or
protein declined significantly. We also found that iron and zinc declined.
Vitamins, and the whole group of this B vitamins — B1, B2, B5, B9 — they all
drop, and drop significantly," Loladze says.
Vitamins B1, 2, and 5 help our
bodies convert food into energy — aiding in everything from nerve function to
healthy hair and muscles. B9 — folic acid — is vital during pregnancy.
The researchers say these
nutrition changes could be devastating, especially in poorer countries in
Southeast Asia, like Myanmar, Cambodia or Laos. For some there, rice makes up
as much as 70 percent of their daily calories.
Americans should be concerned,
too. We consume some 27 pounds of enriched white and brown rice per person per
year. And Loladze says it's not just rice. Other grains process carbon the same
way.
"They share the same basic
plant physiology. [It] responds to CO2 in a similar way to wheat, and barley,
or even potatoes."

Elections
slated for Minnesota Wild Rice Council board
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture announced elections for
the Minnesota Wild Rice Council Board of Directors.
Terms expire for Thomas Godward (independent member) and Travis
Duresky (at-large member) in September.
"Serving on commodity councils is one of the best ways for
agricultural producers to have a say in how their check-off dollars are
spent," said Assistant Commissioner Andrea Vaubel in a news release.
"Elections for these board of director positions is very important, and
I'd like to thank all of the candidates and producers who have taken the time
to participate."
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture will conduct elections
for the board positions at the wild rice field plot at the North Central
Research and Outreach Center July 24 in Grand Rapids.
Absentee ballots are available from the MDA. They must be
requested by June 18 and postmarked by July 2.
The scientists
said, as the figure loses its beneficial properties
31.05.2018
In the coming decades, this
product can completely lose their nutrients.
Rice is gradually but steadily
losing vitamins, scientists say. According to their forecasts, about 20 years
it can completely lose important to human health of trace elements.
Rice is a source of b vitamins,
protein and other valuable nutrients of the body. But a new study of rice,
which was assembled in experimental plantations in China and Japan, showed that
today rice cereal significantly depleted vitamins in comparison with the past,
and some two decades can completely lose the current, more limited composition
useful properties.
“Rice started to lose useful
elements. Significantly decreased content of vitamins B1, B2, B5 and B, the
amount of protein decreased in comparison with the standard of 10.3%, iron 8%
zinc was less than 5.1%”.
According to researchers, to
date, 600 million figure included in the daily diet and is in General a staple
food. What in rice decreases the content of nutrients, may become in the future
a very serious problem for the economy and food culture in a number of
countries.
According to scientific experts,
residents of these countries may have in this regard in serious trouble with
his health. They recalled that threatens to finally disappear in rice, the B
vitamins are involved in all kinds of metabolic processes of the human body,
regulate the growth and recovery of cells, and deficiency of some of them leads
to impaired emotional and cognitive order.
Rice loses its beneficial
properties due to the effect of the deteriorating environment, the authors of
the project. Due to global warming the concentration of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere gradually increased, and this circumstance, as shown by experiment,
detrimental effect on rice.
“If the amount of CO2 in the
atmosphere will continue to rise, by the end of the century the figure will
eventually decrease the supply of mineral elements”, — concluded scientists.

Report Reveals Groundbreaking Results for Rice Farming
A new report from the West and Central African Council for
Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF) describes the results from “the largest System of Rice Intensification (SRI) project ever undertaken in the world,” according to technical lead for regional coordination Dr. Erika
Styger. It reveals higher yields for rice farmers in West Africa using SRI. SRI
is an adaptable rice farming methodology for reducing the need for inputs, including agrochemicals,
while increasing yields.
Rice is an important crop in West
and Central Africa—most of the 430 million people living in the region depend on it as a staple—but West
Africa currently consumes more than it produces and has been importing rice
from other parts of the world, such as Asia. A regional offensiveinitiated by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) aims to change this by
increasing regional rice production.
Organizations and farmers are
working toward this goal through initiatives such as the “Improving and Scaling
up the System of Rice Intensification in West Africa” project (SRI-WAAPP). This
three-year project involved more than 50,000 rice
farmers, more than 1,000 sites, and 13 West African countries. It was
coordinated by the National Center of Specialization on Rice in Mali along with Cornell University through the West Africa Agricultural Productivity Program
(WAAPP)—a program of CORAF. The project
is “one of the most successful in the CORAF portfolio,” says CORAF’s Executive Director
Dr. Abdou Tenkouano. “This SRI project has been groundbreaking in its
participatory design and implementation.” “The involvement of the rice
stakeholders in the 13 countries since the design of the project was the key
factor of success during its implementation,” Dr. Gaoussou Traoré, the
project’s regional coordinator, tells Food Tank when asked about this
participatory design.
According to the report, use of SRI
shows promise for helping rice farmers meet the growing demandin the region. In fact, authors Styger and Traoré write that
complete adoption of this method in 2017 would have eliminated the need for
rice imports. They also estimate that just in the 2015-2016 growing season, use
of SRI produced more than an additional 20,000 tons of milled rice at the
project sites, valued at about US$10 million.
The report details yields for farmers using
SRI compared with farms using conventional growing practices. An independent
evaluation in five countries found that yields increased by 54 percent, 65
percent, and 153 percent for irrigated, rainfed lowland, and rainfed upland
systems, respectively. It also found a 41 percent average increase in farmers’
incomes. The project team’s assessment of overall results found even higher
yield increases for irrigated and rainfed lowland systems, at 56 percent and 86
percent, respectively. Given these findings, the authors advocate for further
scale-up of SRI in the region: “If SRI is to make a real contribution to rice
self-sufficiency in West Africa, many more farmers must adopt it.”
However, “successful expansion of
SRI will depend on adapting SRI practices to local environments,” say Styger and Traoré. Because
SRI is an approach based on a set of principles—rather than a static
technology—it is adaptable to farmers’ diverse
circumstances, such as irrigated or rainfed systems and different ecological
characteristics. “The practices, of course, should always be adapted to suit
local conditions,” saysNorman Uphoff, Senior Advisor for
the SRI International Network and Resources Center (SRI-Rice) program at
Cornell University. “We see SRI more as a menu than as a
recipe.” Dr. Traoré explains that participants of the SRI-WAAPP project
used a conceptual framework based on four defining and unchanging
principles—“the backbone of SRI”—while
agreeing that “the rice production practices or techniques used to implement
the four principles may vary and need to be adapted to local
agro-socio-economic conditions.”
Though SRI is far from full
adoption, the methodology has been spreading around the world and is used
in more than 50 countries. Consequently, SRI is used in a wide variety of socioeconomic
contexts and can look different between communities and between farms. For
example, in some cases where SRI decreases labor requirements, people
have raised concerns that its economic benefits will not extend to groups like landless farm laborers. On the other hand, sometimes SRI intensifies labor requirements,
particularly while farmers become familiar with it and learn what practices
work best for their farms.
CORAF’s Regional Gender and
Social Development Adviser Dr. Mariame Maiga worries that SRI’s labor intensity
could place additional burdens on women who already have significant
responsibilities in addition to agricultural work, including cooking, obtaining
water, and caring for children. “Women have to work very hard with SRI to
produce rice,” she tells Food Tank. Dr. Maiga recommends that steps be taken to
prevent SRI adoption from overburdening women and exacerbating gender
disparities. In response, the team adopted a labor-saving weeding technology
from India to help make SRI more convenient.
This is just one example of how
projects can adjust their SRI implementation, and farmers and
organizations all over the world have been finding new ways to adapt SRI. Because the
SRI-WAAPP project was so large, the team was able to foster cross-border
collaboration: “The regional nature of this project made it possible to connect
researchers, extension staff, and farmers working under similar conditions
across West Africa and help them to identify and share innovations,” saythe report’s authors. “This
enabled faster dissemination, adaptation, and adoption of SRI to different rice
production systems, ultimately leading to better results.”
