Smuggling threatens Nigeria’s rice production
ublished on 24.08.2018 at 12h21
by APA News
Smuggling
is threatening the huge intervention in the value chain of rice production in
Nigeria, the former President, Rice Millers and Distributors of Nigeria (RIMIDAN),
Mr. Tunji Owoeye, has said.Owoeye said in Lagos on Friday that the use of price
competitiveness by the smugglers was discouraging Nigerians from buying local
rice in spite of it being fresh and more nutritious in value than the imported
ones.
“We
are talking of price competitiveness and the local rice we have is better and
more nourishing than the imported rice.
“Most
of the rice smuggled into this country are paddy that had been stored for
upward of five to 10 years in their countries of origin. Whereas, our own paddy
are fresh from harvest.
“We,
as local producers and millers, cannot compete with imported cargo they do not
pay any duty on. What they do is to look at your cost in Nigeria and they go
below it by between N1,000 and N3,000 per bag,” he said.
According
to him, Nigerians cannot fight that kind of battle, except it has the support
of the government.
He
noted that the Nigerian Government has done so much in terms of production and
processing while the Central Bank of Nigeria has been incredible in terms of
intervention fund.
Owoeye said the local rice
production was of international standard and better quality in terms of
nutritional value and that the issue was pricing, which is the result of the
infrastructural challenges facing the country.

EXCESSIVE
USE OF PESTICIDES HURTING BASMATI EXPORTS
5
Tandrust Punjab Mission is consistently carrying
out massive awareness campaign against use of pesticides in Basmati as its
excessive use is hurting the exports.“Punjab has been dominating the Basmati
rice exports to the world but has registered decline in exports to European
Union, USA and other world markets due to excessive use of pesticides,” said
Tandrust Punjab Mission managing director Kahan Singh Pannu.
Pannu pointed that as per the study of Indian
Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), more than
400 import refusals have been reported due to the presence of higher than
approved level of pesticides residue in last three years.
Recently, Punjab Rice Miller Exporters’
Association informed the State Government that they are facing big refusal of
basmati rice shipments from EU and USA due to higher residue of pesticides in
basmati. They listed five problem causing pesticides namely Acephate,
Cabandazim, Thiamethoxam, Tricyclazole and Triazophos.
“Since these pesticides are registered with the
Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC), Government
of India, for control of various pests, as a result State Government cannot ban
or prohibit the sale or use of these five pesticides as per Insecticide Act,
1968,” said Pannu.
He said that for ‘Pesticides Free Basmati’,
awareness regarding Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) recommended
alternatives to these five pesticides are being popularized.
“Any adverse effect on over Rs 50,000 crore rice
export business will have negative repercussions on the farmers as well,” said
Pannu adding that being a non-MSP crop, Basmati is not procured by the
Government agencies and its sale is totally depends upon the private traders.
Pannu said that 90 percent production of basmati
is exported. “If the consignments of this crop are rejected due to higher
concentration of pesticides, there will be a great loss to the farmers of the
State directly,” he said.
Under the Tandrust Punjab Mission, all out
efforts are being made to sensitize the stakeholders on the issue, he said
adding that a comprehensive and robust campaign to drive home the message of
pesticides free paddy is being run.
Pannu said that the extension teams of
Agriculture Department along with Punjab Rice Millers Exporters’ Association
are working jointly with perfect synergy towards organizing meetings, seminars
or awareness camps for the farmers and dealers, state-wide. So far, over 250
camps have been organized since July 15, 2018.
The dealers meetings are being held at district
level as well as block level to make them aware of the problem of residue of
pesticides and are being asked to participate in the campaign in favour of
farming community.
They are being advised not to sell these
pesticides and it has been made mandatory to mention in the bill the crop name
for which inputs are sold.Similarly, farmer awareness camps are being organized
in date-wise time schedule to cover all blocks or villages regarding ill effect
of these five pesticides and alternatives available. Posters, banners
advertisements, whatsapp messages and Gurudwara announcements are being used to
generate awareness.
At the same time, an extensive campaign has been
launched to check the bills from farmers for purchase of pesticides or inputs,
so that quality pesticides should reach the farmers, said Pannu.

Rice farming is for the birds
Rice
production could improve in Texas, no thanks to the birds
The classic Alfred Hitchcock
movie "The Birds," based on a book written by Daphne du Maurier,
premiered in 1963 as a modern horror story that frightened movie goers,
garnering impressive box office revenues of over $11.4 million, a substantial
amount for the time.
In the story, a wealthy socialite
is trapped in her summer home by flocks of gathering birds intent on breaking
into the home to wreak havoc on the human victims inside.
Ask any rice producer in Texas or
Louisiana and they will tell you they too fear birds, but for a very different
reason. Birds, especially the broad family of avian known as blackbirds, love
to feed on rice seed, and perhaps worse, on the heading crop of rice as it
matures, especially in the second or ratoon crop as it reaches time for
harvest.
The problem is especially
dramatic for rice fields located near the Gulf of Mexico, because the area is
either a southern migration zone in the fall or winter months, or a fly zone extensively
large numbers of birds use intheir annual migration to other areas.
"Many of the farmers in
Matagorda County in Texas and surrounding rice areas simply won't attempt a
ratoon rice crop [in the same year], because the bird population is so high and
the damages so great, they just don't feel it's worth it,” reports Michael (Mo)
Way, professor of Entomology and rice specialist at Texas A&M Research
Center in Beaumont. "Years ago I had a graduate student who worked in
Matagorda County and he found an average of about a 15-percent reduction in the
ratoon crop because of the birds."
Way said back in the 1980s and
90s, farmers in the area relied on shotguns and scare canons to help control
birds in their rice fields, and the input costs were so great that it led many
producers to just give up on their second crop.
"The ratoon second rice crop
is more susceptible to bird damage because there are so many more birds
begining to migrate from northern areas and join the local population. Earlier
in the growing season, during the first crop, you can realize some damage, but
as the season progresses, especially around the time harvest of the first crop
begins, the birds start to concentrate on what crops are left, meaning more
birds are focused on remaining fields that are not harvested," Way
explained.
Rice repellent bird seed
(AV-1011) has been around for a number of years, Way said, which has helped
rice farmers minimize the number of early planted rice seed in their fields.
But the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been evaluating a new foliar
product for repelling birds during rice heading through harvest period.
The new repellent from Akrion
Life Science is currently under evaluation and review and could be approved for
either Section 18 emergency use or a full Section 3 label authorization as
early as next season, provided EPA approves the product.
Way says the new repellent, if
approved, would be most effective after aerial application, when blackbirds
present the greatest threat to either an unharvested first rice crop or a
ratoon crop.
"Starting as early as next
week I will be managing a research trial of the new product for the purpose of
collecting data. But the EPA period for public comment has expired effective
earlier this month. I know that Arkion reps, interested producers and others,
have been encouraging rice producer comments to help the EPA in their decision
process. Exactly when the federal agency will reach a final decision on
labeling, I can't say; it is a lengthy process," Way said.
Mike Brinkley, a rep for Arkion,
says he and others have been collecting letters from growers who say they
wanted to have their voice heard concerning the need for the new bird repellant
and to show their support for its registration.
Producers and Extension personnel
in and around Matagorda County are reporting red-winged blackbirds are
currently converging on rice fields in large numbers, and that worries growers.
Early on, the birds prey on rice by pinching the grains in their beaks to
squeeze out the milky substance inside. But they may also feed on the grains
during dough stage, and may break, shatter, or consume panicles while perching
on the plant.
"The cost of control with
firearms can be high [for rice producers], as much as $46 per acre,"
reports Stephen Janak, Colorado County AgriLife Agricultural Extension agent
who also services Matagorda County.He confirms that some producers are unable
to harvest a ratoon crop at all due to bird damage.The problem is not limited
to coastal rice fields in Texas. It is a common problem experienced in
Louisiana rice country as well.

Row, Row, Row Your Rice: New Planting Formation Rises In Arkansas
Rows of rice
in Mississippi County, summer 2018
ANN KENDA / ARKANSAS PUBLIC MEDIA
Listen
Listening...
The row may be the new paddy in the nation’s number-one
rice producing state.
Agronomists, scientists and farmers at a recent field day
in Mississippi County say the trend of growing rice in straight rows instead of
curves has expanded in Arkansas this year after early experiments were
successful.
Water conservation is a top priority for rice farmers —
for economic if not ecological reasons — and many say it's not clear yet
whether rows reduce flood levels, but they do believe planting in rows may save
on tillage costs.
“We’re saving four or five tillage trips coming out of
rice into the soybean rotation,” said Ryan Sullivan, who farms in Luxura.
Tom Burnham, who farms in Blytheville, said he started
with 80 acres of rice rows last year and committed all of his 2,200 acres to
rows this year after finding that his rows could save some $70 per acre in
tillage costs.
“It’s pretty obvious that it’s the way to go for the
future,” he said.

PUBLIC MEDIA
Research hydrologist Dr. Michele Reba said innovators and
forward-thinkers try rows.
“We grow the most rice of any state in the U.S., so we
need to be out in front of practices that make sense,” she said.
According to the University of Arkansas Division of
Agriculture Research and Extension, farmers grew 40,000 acres of rice in rows
last year. This year that figure more than doubled to 100,000 acres.
But 100,000 acres is still a small percentage of
Arkansas’s 1.4 million acres of rice. Even those who favor rows say its
not necessarily the right match for every farmer or every piece of land.
Josh Hankins, a steward with USA Rice, said the switch to
rows may be slow for some farmers since change in the farming industry can be
riskier and more expensive than in other types of businesses. He said
many growers are still weighing the pros and cons of rows versus curves.

Jarrod Hardke of the University of Arkansas speak with farmers at a recent

“There are some cons too, when it comes to weed pressure
and disease pressure, but if the pros outweigh the cons ... then it makes sense
financially for these guys to try it,” he said.
Dr. Jarrod Hardke, an agronomist with the Extension
office, said this year’s autumn harvest may help determine whether the row
trend continues.
“The story of which direction that trend goes from here,
further up or further down, will be based on ultimately the grain yield success
of what comes out of this year,” he said.

Rains damaged paddy crop’
TIRUNELVELI, AUGUST
25, 2018 00:00 IST
The recent rains that lashed
western Tirunelveli damaged paddy cultivated on 180 hectares, Collector Shilpa
Prabhakar Satish has said.
Informing this at the grievance
meet held here on Friday, she said that torrential rains that ravaged the
western parts of the district damaged paddy cultivated on 150 hectares at
Puliyarai, 20 hectares in Nagalkaadu near Tenkasi and 10 hectares in Courtallam
while the standing crop had reached the ‘milky stage.’
As experts from Rice Research
Institute at Ambasamudram had inspected the fields and opined that farmers had
suffered extensive damage, those who had insured the paddy would get insurance
benefits. “We’ve informed the insurance firm about the crop damage. In the
‘kar’ paddy season, 943 farmers, who have cultivated paddy across the district,
have insured the crop,” she said. The Collector said the administration
convened tripartite talks recently involving officials and sugarcane farmers to
ensure disbursal of arrears of Rs. 12.74 crore by Dharani Sugars and Rs. 1.08
crore had been given to the growers.
When the farmers complained that
the 789 farmers, who had insured their crops during 2016-2017, were yet to
receive the insurance benefits, the officials replied that efforts were being
taken to extend the benefits soon. But farmers picked up argument with the officials.
“The farmers are struggling for
the past 18 months to get the insurance benefits. The Collector should initiate
stringent action against the insurance firm for the delay,” said farmer P.
Perumbadaiyar, a member of Communist Party of India.
The Collector said neither the
district administration nor the State government had power to take action
against the insurance firm for not disbursing the compensation. “Our officials
had met the insurance firm representatives in Delhi on three occasions to discuss
this issue. If the issue is not resolved, we will approach the court.
Meanwhile, I’ll raise this issue during the Collectors’ meeting with the Chief
Minster scheduled for Monday,” Ms. Shilpa said.
When the farmers complained about
encroachments along waterways, she ordered the officials to remove them even
without giving notice.
A group of farmers growing rubber
in Shencottai area urged the Collector to ensure the disbursal of crop loss
relief to them as being given in Kanniyakumari district. As farmer Kasamuthu, a
member of CPI alleged that delay in reconstructing 10 old sluices, which were
demolished by officials, had affected farming operations on 500 acres in
Alwarkurichi, the Public Works Department officials did not give any reply.

Non-basmati
rice: Two firms win China export orders
Two Indian companies — Sukhbir
Agro Energy and Pattabhi Agro Foods — have bagged export orders of 600 tonnes
of non-basmati rice from China.
The
Centre is keen that rice exports to China materialise, as it will help India
tap a hitherto untapped major market where it is one of the staple foods.Two Indian companies — Sukhbir
Agro Energy and Pattabhi Agro Foods — have bagged export orders of 600 tonnes
of non-basmati rice from China, paving the way for the first shipment of the
cereal to the neighbouring country after it agreed last month to import it from
India. The exports will take place soon after the rice processing plants of
these two companies are approved by China.
Amid
the stand-off with the US on tariffs, China appears to be serious on importing
rice from India, exporters said. In recent weeks, Beijing allowed a clutch of
rice processors in India, including Chaman Lal Setia and Adani Wilmar, to
export the cereal to the world’s second largest economy after inspecting their
facilities, while some companies, including Sukhbir Agro Energy and Pattabhi
Agro Foods, were told to improve their storage conditions.
The
Centre is keen that rice exports to China materialise, as it will help India
tap a hitherto untapped major market where it is one of the staple foods.
India’s
total rice exports increased to 12.7 million tonnes last fiscal (valued at Rs
49,838 crore), from 10.8 million tonnes a year earlier, which allowed the
country to retain the top slot in global trade of the commodity.
Apeda,
the agri-export promoting agency of the government, is planning to take a
business delegation of Indian rice exporters to China around November to
explore trade opportunities, sources said.
According
to sources, while Sukhbir Agro Energy, which has rice processing facility in
Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has got an order for supply of 500 tonnes of rice,
Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh-based Pattabhi Agro Foods will export 100 tonnes.
Protik
Guha of Sukhbir Agro Energy said discussions were still on with the buyers on
the time of shipment, varieties of rice and other issues. Pattabhi Agro’s CEO
BV Krishna Rao said: “The consignment will be sent after China approves the
company’s processing plant for export. It is an in-principle order.”
Within
a week after visiting 14 rice processing plants in different states during July
9-17, China’s General Administration of Customs approved five more rice
processors in India, including Chaman Lal Setia and Adani Wilmar, to export
rice to the world’s second largest economy. In 2016, China had agreed to import
from 14 Indian rice exporters, all of whom were based in the northern region
and mainly deal with basmati. However, it never allowed actual import citing
quarantine issue claiming presence of a pest called ‘khapra’ (cabinet) beetle.
After
prolonged discussion, an MoU was signed between China’s General Administration
of Customs and India’s Department of Agriculture on phytosanitary requirements
for exporting rice from India to China during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
visit to the neighbouring country in June this year.
China,
the world’s largest producer and importer of rice, buys over 5 million tonnes
of the cereal per annum mainly from Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan. There is a
potential of exporting 1 million tonnes of rice, including basmati variety, to
China in a few years if there is free trade allowed, exporters said.
Rice Gene Could Hold Key To Rice
Varieties With Lower Dependence On Fertilizers
A man harvesting rice. A recent study found a key to make rice
and other grains yield better produce but require less fertilizer. The findings
can help reduce the amount of excess nitrogen from the agriculture sector.

A team of scientists has
genetically engineered new breeds of high-yield varieties of rice, wheat, and
other grains that require less fertilizer.
The New Green Revolution
Back in the 50s and 60s, the green revolution, a period when
scientists found a way to supercharge agricultural production by adding
fertilization, using pesticides, and other management technologies.
While the process yielded larger harvests, it came with a cost: the nitrogen
fertilizer that supplied the nutrients needed to produce more crops became a threat to the environment and the
ecosystem.
A new study led by Xiangdong Fu, a plant geneticist from the
Chinese Academy of Science, found a way to reduce the necessity for fertilizer
and, therefore, make production more environmentally friendly.
His team surveyed the DNA of 36 rice variety and examined the
role of molecules called DELLA, proteins that suppress the absorption of
nitrogen in green-revolution crops and make them hungry for more fertilizer.
The scientists involved in the study were able to identify two genes that
control the nitrogen consumption: one codes the DELLA protein while the other
codes for a growth-regulating factor 4 or GRF4 protein.
Fu believes that the GR4, initially thought to increase only
grain size and yield, can also counteract the effects of DELLA protein on a
plant's ability to absorb and metabolize nitrogen. When they bred the rice to
produce more GR4, they came up with short plants with high yields that require
significantly less nitrogen.
The findings were published in Nature on Aug. 15.
Toward A More
Environmentally-Friendly Future
Xin Zhang, an environmental scientist who is not involved in the
study, is excited about the promise of grains requiring less fertilizer and
decrease excess nitrogen from wreaking havoc on the environment.
"Human activity is adding too much nitrogen to the
planet," Zhang stated. "It's critical to improve the efficiency
of the system."
She explained that due to the use of large amounts of fertilizer
in farms all over the world, the human race has doubled the amount of excess
nitrogen around the world. Zhang also added that saving the world from nitrogen
pollution should not end on producing more nitrogen-efficient crops.
Nathan Mueller, an agricultural system expert from the
University of California Irving, agreed that farmers should use more precise
methods to identify the right amount of nitrogen needed by the crops to avoid
excesses.
Jennifer Volk, an environmental-quality specialist from the
University of Delaware, shared that the next step should be to introduce
methods that lessen the potential environmental damage from agriculture. This
includes construction of wetlands with plants that filter excess nitrogen and
other nutrients before they end up in streams and rivers.
BAU TO
HOST 3-DAY NATIONAL MEET OF WHEAT SCIENTISTS FROM AUG 24
Friday, 24 August 2018 | PNS | Ranchi |
in Ranchi
About 300 scientists from across the country and
abroad will discuss the ways and means of increasing the area, production,
productivity and nutritional content of wheat and barley at the three-day
Annual Group Meeting of All India Coordinated Research Project on Wheat and Barley
being organised at Birsa Agricultural University (BAU) from August 24 to 26.
Addressing media persons in a press conference
here on Thursday BAU Vice Chancellor Dr Parvinder Kaushal said that the event
being organized jointly by Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research
(IIWBR), Karnal and BAU will have representation from almost all the states,
country’s 70 State, Central and deemed agricultural universities and five
international research institutes located in different countries.
He said that the meet will be formally
inaugurated on August 25 by Governor Droupadi Murmu, while Dr Trilochan
Mohapatra, Secretary, Dept of Agricultural Research & Education, GoI and
Director General, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi will chair
the meet.
Kaushal said wheat research scientists group is
the second largest in the country after that of rice under the national
agricultural research system. In Jharkhand, he said, wheat is grown in an
area of 2.21 lakh hectare with average productivity of 2.13 tonnes per hectare
as compared to national average of 3.17 tonnes per hectare. Wheat
productivity in the State has to be increased to about 5 tonnes per hectare for
doubling farmers’ income by 2022.
Of the total 28 lakh hectare cultivable land of
Jharkhand, about 14.6 lakh hectare remains without any use in rabi season after
harvest of rice.
Efforts are on to bring this land under wheat
coverage on residual moisture by short-duration, drought-tolerant varieties
like Birsa Gehun-3 of BAU, K-9107 of Kanpur, PBW-343 of Punjab and HD-2967 of
Haryana. Cropping intensity in Jharkhand in hardly 125 percent as compared to
national average of 150 per cent, Punjab average of 193 per cent and Haryana
average of 188 per cent, the VC added. Lack of assured irrigation facility is
the main limiting factor on this front, he held.
Dr Kaushal stressed on the need of including
barley in food habit which has higher fiber and protein content than other
cereals.
Present area of barley in Jharkhand is nearly
3000 hectare only because of lack of awareness about its importance among
farmers. Since barley can be grown on single irrigation only, there is vast
scope of its expansion in this state.
A-300 variety of barley is most suitable for this
region, he said. The VC stressed that one kg of red gram, barley,
soybean, ragi and jwar/ bajra each should be mixed with wheat for daily
domestic use of flour to ensure enhanced nutrition.
BAU Director Research Dr DN Singh and Chairman,
Dept of Genetics & Plant Breeding, Dr ZA Haider was also present during the
press meet.
Deliberations will be held in five technical
sessions on principal investigators’ report-research presentation, research
planning, finalization of work plan and recommendation, research progress on
north eastern plain zone, international linkages and status reports from states
and farmers view on R&D.
The session on international linkages will have
participation of Dr Ravi Prakash Singh, Dr Govindan Velu and Dr Pawan K Singh
from International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), Mexico, Dr
Ronnie Coffman, Vice Chairman, Borlaug Global Rust Initiative, Cornell
University, New York, Dr Ashutosh Sarker and Dr RPS Verma, International Centre
for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Lebnon, Dr PK Joshi, International
Food Policy Research Institute, Washington DC, USA, Dr Baidya Nath Mahto,
Ececutive Director, Nepal Agricultural Research Council, Kathmandu and Dr
Legjay from Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, Bhutan.
Others who have confirmed their participation
include Dr AK Singh, Deputy Director General (Crops), ICAR, Dr RK Singh,
Additional Director General (Food & Fodder Crops), Dr GP Singh, Director,
IIWBR, Karnal, Dr BS Tyagi, event convenor from IIWBR, Dr B Rajender, Joint
Secretary (Crops), GoI and Dr HS Gupta, former Director, India Agricultural
Research Institute.
Medical implants powered by radio waves have
been successfully tested
Aug 23 2018
A medical implant the size of a grain of rice which is powered
by radio waves from outside the body has been successfully tested opening the
way to smaller longer lasting devices for treating a wide variety of ailments.
Pacemakers and brain implants for Parkinson’s disease, for
example, use batteries that are implanted along with the active devices. The
batteries limit how long the devices can be used for and replacing them
requires surgery. Batteries also make up a large part of any implant’s size and
weight. Removing the battery immediately shrinks the implant. These smaller
devices could release drugs slowly deep in the body, provide a burst of
electricity in the brain for treating Parkinson’s, or a pulse of light for
other neurological ailments. While the tested prototype was the size of a grain
of rice, researchers believe they can make even smaller implants.
“These devices could be compatible with sensing conditions [for
detecting ailments] as well as aiding in the delivery of a drug,” said Giovanni Traverso,
an assistant professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers and MIT scientists have
developed a way to power and communicate with devices implanted deep within the
human body. Credit: MIT
In tests in pigs, researchers demonstrated how radio waves can
deliver power from a distance of one metre to devices 10 centimetres inside
tissue. They have concluded that for implants just beneath the surface of the
skin, power could be transmitted up to 38 metres away. As well as receive
power, the implants can use that energy to transmit data back to the medical
staff. “Having the capacity to communicate with these systems without the need
for a battery would be a significant advance,” said Traverso. Radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology could also benefit from a wireless power
system for longer distance tracking, transmitting its information over a
greater distance.
The problem the researchers needed to overcome was the fact that
radio waves dissipate as they pass through flesh and bone and cannot deliver
enough energy to power any kind of implant. The solution was to use an array of
antennas that emit radio waves of slightly different frequencies. These
different radio waves overlap and combine and at the point where they overlap
they provide enough energy to power an implant. The scientists call this
antenna system, in vivo networking (IVN). With this IVN, power transmission
system, the precise location of the sensors does not need to be known. The
multiple power transmissions also mean that several devices in different parts
of the body can be powered at once.
At Brigham and Women’s Hospital various ingestible devices that
could monitor the gastrointestinal tract, record vital signs and deliver drugs
are being developed. Other work includes making the transmission of the power
possible over greater distances and making its delivery more efficient. The
research has been funded by the United States government’s National Institutes
of Health and Massachusetts’ Institute of Technology’s Media Lab Consortium.

Report:
Whole Grain Consumption Reduces Cancer Risk
ARLINGTON, VA -- Recently, the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) released Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Cancer: A Global Perspective, a comprehensive analysis of research on lifestyle factors and cancer prevention that confirmed critical connections between cancer diagnoses and diet, physical activity, and weight.
The report's authors summarized their findings in 10 cancer prevention steps that emphasized the need for a daily diet rich in whole grain consumption.
"Once again, independent evidence-based research has proven how important whole grains are to a healthy diet, and that reinforces USA Rice's health-based messaging," said Cameron Jacobs, USA Rice manager of domestic promotion. "This landmark cancer prevention report should serve as a wake-up call to consumers, opening their eyes to all the benefits associated with whole grains. And when consumers are ready to get healthier, the U.S. rice industry has them covered with a long list of flavor-filled brown rice recipes at thinkrice.com."
The cancer prevention recommendation included maintaining a diet with at least 30 grams of fiber, and incorporating whole grains and non-starchy vegetables in most meals. The recommendation was justified by the unique ability of whole grains to protect against colorectal cancer, weight gain, obesity, and overall lowering of cancer risk and other noncommunicable diseases.
"The evidence is clear that making changes to diet and exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight cuts cancer risks, regardless of age," said AICR CEO Kelly Browning. "The message may not be glamorous, but these changes can save your life."
The report was based on a review of data from 51 million people including 3.5 million cancer cases in 17 cancers from 2008-2017.

Mississippi rice expected to top
2017 crop
This large field of rice is progressing toward maturity in
Humphreys County, Mississippi. Farmers planted 150,000 acres of rice in the
state this year.
Mississippi growers will produce about 20 percent more rice in
2018, mostly due to additional acres planted over 2017’s total.
Mississippi growers will produce about
20 percent more rice in 2018, mostly due to additional acres planted over
2017’s total.
Larry Falconer, agricultural economist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said early forecasts predict national yields near last year’s 7,400 pounds per acre.
“National acreage is up about 20 percent. In Mississippi, the increase is slightly more at 23 percent,” Falconer said. “It helped that, at planting time, prices were slightly better than the previous year.”
The midpoint of the current U.S. Department of Agriculture marketing year average price projection for the 2018 crop is $11 per hundredweight, just below last year’s average of $11.40, but Falconer considers that optimistic.

Exports 'carry the ball'
“Domestic use is expected to be up about 6 percent, but we
depend on exports to carry the ball for rice, and exports are projected to be
up about 8 percent from last year,” he said. “That still leaves us with a
projected stocks-to-use ratio for 2018-2019 that would imply the lower end
of the USDA projected range, $10.50 per hundredweight, is more likely.”
All 150,000 acres of the state’s rice grows in the Mississippi Delta. Falconer and MSU Extension rice and soil fertility agronomist Bobby Golden are based at the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville to serve the region’s growers.
“Preliminary yields on the early rice crop are looking good,” Golden said. “Grass control has been the biggest issue this year. Herbicides were not as effective in the 2018 growing conditions as we would have liked.”
Golden said growers have accepted many of the agronomic recommendations from MSU researchers. A recent field day was well attended as growers heard from graduate students, who will be the next generation of scientists serving the state’s agricultural industry.
Growers promote their crop with activities such as the Rice Tasting Luncheon, held annually at Delta State University. Delta Rice Promotions will host the event from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Sept. 14 at Walter Sillers Coliseum in Cleveland, Miss. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased from Bolivar County’s Extension office by calling (662) 843-8371. Tickets will also be on sale at the door.

China's early rice yield drops amid structural reform
Source:
Xinhua| 2018-08-24 15:25:21|Editor: ZX
BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- China produced less rice in the
first harvest period of the year compared to 2017 amid agricultural supply-side
structural reform, official data showed Friday.
The country produced 28.59 million tonnes of "early
rice," planted in spring and harvested in early summer. This was a
decrease of more than 1 million tonnes, or 4.3 percent from a year earlier,
according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
China's early rice planting area for the year stood at 4.79
million hectares, 6.8 percent less than last year, and yield per hectare grew
2.7 percent to 5.96 tonnes.
NBS statistician Hou Rui attributed the early rice yield drop to
proactive changes in crop structure amid deepening agricultural supply-side
structural reform, less rainfall, and crop rotation.
"It points to improved quality and efficiency of China's
agricultural production," Hou said.
"The decline will have a very limited impact on the
country's grain supply as early rice accounts for a small share of the annual
grain output," Hou said.
Early rice is mainly planted in nine provincial-level regions:
Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.
Rice is a staple food in China, and its total grain output
consists of three parts -- early rice, summer grain, and autumn production.
Autumn grain crops, which include corn and middle- and late-season rice,
account for the bulk of the grain production.

Bambang Soesatyo, who is nicknamed Bamsoet, says it responds to
an information that the Ministry of Trade has added an additional one million
ton rice to its import permit for Bulog (Logistics Agency), totaling two
million tons.
Bamsoet says import permit has often led to speculation so far,
therefore, an explanation from the Trade Minister via a work meeting with the
House Commission IV is expected to clarify the speculations that arise in
public.
"The House of Representatives hopes that the explanation
from the Trade Minister can ease speculations," Bamsoe said.
Previously, Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukita said the
additional rice import permit had been decided three months ago and is valid
until August 2018.
Enggartiasto claimed the additional rice import was needed to
increase national rice stock reserve that began to reduce, as reported by Antara.
Millers owe Essequibo rice
farmers over $132M
August 24, 2018
– Holder slams
non-payment, urges GRDB to explore penalties for errant millers
Guyana Times
has long been reporting about the financial hardships experienced by rice
farmers who have been owed millions of dollars by rice millers; Agriculture
Minister Noel Holder has concurred with the farmers’ plight and slammed the
prolonged delay.
A combine in a rice field
According to
the Department of Public Information, (DPI), Agriculture Minister Noel Holder
on Thursday declared that the delay farmers experience in receiving from
millers payment for their produce is a clear violation of the Rice Factories
Act, and is a “clear demonstration of unfair business practices”.
His comments came after rice farmer and Essequibo Paddy Producers’ Association
head, Naith Ram, lamented the farmers’ plight during a recent outreach to
Region Two. According to DPI, while saying that rice farmers on the Essequibo
Coast “are being held to ransom by many millers”, Ram has identified rice
miller Wazir Hussain as owing many of those farmers.
Hussain had earlier told this newspaper that it was the Guyana Rice Development
Board (GRDB) which owe millers, and the millers, in turn, owe farmers.
Nevertheless, Ram cried out that he has been owed since the first crop for
2018. He said that many farmers had to either relinquish cultivating or scale
back cultivation significantly.
“Farmers have not been paid to date. We have a Factories Act, but farmers will
not take millers to court because of fear of victimisation by other millers. We
have to devise another system – we have to take some firm action. How can a
farmer who is not being paid sustain his family? We have to do something to help
the situation in Region Two.” Ram said.
DPI quoted Ram
as saying that millers continually owing farmers is “negatively affecting the
rice industry and the livelihood of rice farmers.” According to the Government
Information Service, GRDB noted that millers on the Essequibo Coast owe farmers
more than $132 million for paddy supplied from the first crop, with a popular
Essequibo miller owing “97% of that figure”.
In response, Minister Holder has said millers must not be allowed to mistreat
rice farmers and withhold payments.
“We have many millers faulting the Board for their not being able to pay
farmers, especially recently, for rice shipped to Panama. The Panama deal is
not like other arrangements millers have with other buyers; it is a
Government-to-Government arrangement. The GRDB approached millers explaining
that the Panama market offers 30% more for the rice, but like any
Government-to- Government arrangement, funds take a litter longer to process.”
Minister Holder pointed out that if millers are not treating farmers justly,
the GRDB could explore withholding milling licences, as the law stipulates.
“However, this has to be a Board policy…as a member of the GRDB Board of
Directors, you can bring that suggestion to the table, (but) the Minister
cannot make that decision; it has to be a decision of the Board.” Minister
Holder said.
Rice farmers on the Essequibo island of Wakenaam were in July paid after
waiting for five long months to be paid for their produce. Before this payment
was effected, farmers had vented their frustrations at the prolonged delay,
saying that the crop would pass without them being paid. However, as media
reports highlighted, after months of non-payment that farmers were being made
to endure, the farmers finally received the monies that were owed to them.
However, the Guyana Rice Millers Association (GRMA) maintained that millers are
signing agreements with GRDB, which has a Government-to-Government arrangement
with Panama, and as such, GRDB has an obligation to pay millers.
GRMA Head, Leekha Rambrich, had observed in June that GRDB was
violating laws on its delayed payments to millers under the Panama deal.
Rice sowing lags behind at 356.83 lakh hectare so far this season
PTI | Aug 24, 2018, 18:31 IST
New
Delhi, Aug 24 () Area sown to rice, the main kharif crop, is still lagging
behind at 356.83 lakh hectare (ha) so far in the current season, as per the
agriculture ministry data released today.
Rice
acreage stood at 359.52 lakh hectare in the year-ago period. Sowing of kharif
crops begin with the onset of southwest monsoon from July and harvesting from
October. As per the ministry's data, lag in the area of most kharif crops has narrowed down and sowing of all kharif crops was covered in 995.62 lakh hectare as on today when compared with 1,008.57 lakh hectare in the year-ago period.
Besides rice, area sown to pulses mainly urad, arhar and moong was marginally down at 130.83 lakh hectare so far this season as against 133.87 lakh hectare in the same period last season.
Coarse cereals acreage remained lower at 166.52 lakh hectare so far this season as against 174.34 lakh hectare a year ago.
Cotton area too was lower at 116.85 as against 119.67 lakh hectare in the said period.
However, area under oilseeds and sugarcane remained higher than the year-ago period.
Area
sown to oilseeds remained slightly higher at 167 lakh hectare as against 164.24
lakh hectare, while that of sugarcane area was at 50.60 lakh hectare as against
49.86 lakh hectare in the said period. LUX MKJ

STEM
Initiative Scours Ghana For Brightest Young Scientists
Kirsty
Abena Serwaa
Surrounded
by her classmates, Amma conducts an experiment to test the pH level of her
three favourite foods – rice, tom brown and ice cream – for a science project.
She carefully pours each item into a beaker and tests them one by one, talking
her audience through the process while the camera filming her, pans between her
and her unfolding experiment. Amma loves science and when she’s older, she
wants to find a cure for cancers. She is one of thousands of Junior High School
(JHS) [1] students in Ghana living out their ambitions in the month-long Junior
Experimenters Of Science (JUNEOS) Challenge, which launched today (20 August
2018).
The
JUNEOS Challenge is a national science initiative, devised by Ghanaian and
Nigerian-based media organisation WeGo Innovate to improve provision of STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in Ghana and across
sub-Saharan Africa. It also feeds into one of Ghana’s United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals to increase the number of science students in the
country’s technical institutions by a minimum of 60% [2].
“Boosting
STEM education is important for the growth of any nation because it provides
relevant and real-world exposure to important math, science, technology and
engineering concepts, while also preparing children for the future needs of our
society," said WeGo Innovate Founder Charles Agbemashior."
Teaching
through innovation
Teachers in Ghana are one of the key conduits through which the next generation learns and feels inspired to use that knowledge to make a difference in their world. Everyone remembers the teacher that inspired them, and WeGo Innovate wants to build on that empowering influence by giving teachers the tools, training and resources to get the very best out of their students.

Everyone remembers the teacher that inspired them, and WeGo Innovate wants to build on that empowering influence by giving teachers the tools, training and resources to get the very best out of their students.
This
is why the JUNEOS Challenge is building on the existing work of NGOs such as
Ghana Association of Science Teachers (GAST), the Ghana STEM Network,
GhScientific, and The Exploratory, to harness more practical ways of teaching
that incorporate video technology and enhance classroom interactivity.
The
Ghana STEM Network, said: “Members of the Ghana STEM Network are excited about
the JUNEOS Challenge as it places students and teachers in the center as
content creators - something that very few programmes consider.”
“Students
are naturally brilliant and when motivated their potential is limitless,” said
Dr Thomas Amatey Tagoe, Co-founder of GhScientific. “Now within education, it
is well known that if you challenge a motivated student, they will surprise you
every single time. This is what the JUNEOS Challenge is doing – motivating and
challenging students. At GhScientific, we love it when students surprise us and
that is why we are proud partners of this exciting initiative.”
Dr
Connie Chow, Founder and Director of The Exploratory, said: “The Exploratory is
thrilled to join the JUNEOS Challenge to showcase the ingenuity of students and
teachers to provide social proof that STEM teaching and learning can be
interesting and relevant, and to break the myth about who can do, talk and
belong in STEM.”
Nana
Yaa Serwaa Sarpong, Channel Manager at Joy Prime, Multimedia Group Ltd, said:
“For TV to stay relevant to the needs of its audience, it must be aligned to
the people’s visions.
“We
must be 100% responsive to the call to support impactful projects such as the
JUNEOS Challenge, which thrives on a vision to simplify STEM to younger
generations and JOY PRIME is here to steer this course.”
The
process
Participating in the JUNEOS Challenge is simple. Schools share experiments conducted in their classroom based on the national science curriculum and send their experiments either as a photographs or a one-minute video.

Earth's earliest animals were
strange sea creatures
"Rather than first appearing in the Cambrian period as had once
been thought, animals must have originated and begun to diversify by the
Ediacaran period," researcher Jennifer Hoyal Cuthill said.

and Cambrian periods. Photo by Northwest University, China/J. Hoyal Cuthill
Aug. 21 (UPI)
-- New
fossil analysis suggests the planet's earliest known animals emerged at least
571 million years ago.
The new study
-- published this month in the journal Paleontology --
proves members of the Ediacaran biota are indeed animals and were diversifying
for several million years before the acceleration of speciation known as the
Cambrian explosion.
Scientists
recovered the first Stromatoveris psygmoglenafossil in
the mid-20th century. The frond-like sea creature baffled paleontologists for
decades.
Stromatoveris
psygmoglena hails
from the Cambrian period, but dozens of similar blob-like fossil imprints have
been found among older strata -- rocks from the Ediacaran period, which lasted
from 635 to 542 million years ago.
Until now, scientists
have struggled to understand the relationship between Stromatoveris
psygmoglena, Ediacaran biota and the animal forms that emerged
during the Cambrian explosion.
Using a new
computer analysis method, scientists were able to tease out important relations
between Ediacaran biota and a range of other animal groups. The computer model
helped scientists compare the anatomical characteristics of fossils from the
Ediacaran and Cambrian periods.
"These
methods are very frequently used in biology and palaeontology but had not
previously been applied to test the wider relationships of these Ediacaran
biota," Jennifer Hoyal Cuthill, visiting researcher in palaeobiology at
the University of Cambridge, told UPI.
The unique
frond-like forms of Ediacaran biota made it difficult for scientists to compare
the ancient species to Cambrian animals.
"To help
us to compare the Ediacaran biota to a wide range of other groups, from algae
to complex animals, we used a popular online system called MorphoBank which
allowed us to upload and compare photographs of the fossils," Cuthill
said.
The computer
analysis revealed previously unknown relationships between Ediacaran biota and
a variety of Cambrian animal groups. According to the model, Stromatoveris
psygmoglena was an important link between the early and later
animal groups.
"Rather
than first appearing in the Cambrian period as had once been thought, animals
must have originated and begun to diversify by the Ediacaran period,"
Cuthill said. "Our analysis also showed that a biological group called the
Petalonamae, which includes members of the Ediacaran biota and the Cambrian animal
Stromatoveris, didn't go extinct at the end of the Ediacaran period as some had
thought."
Scientists
determined petalonamids persisted for some 53 million years, dominating the
seafloor in Earth's ancient oceans. These early animals were more resilient
than scientists previously thought.
This early
evolutionary success, scientists determined, set the stage for more
sophisticated adaptations.
"The
common ancestor they shared with later animals was likely to have had a more
complex, differentiated anatomy than sponges, for example, setting the stage
for further evolutionary innovations among the complex animals," Cuthill
said.
Because the
research confirms the emergence of animals during the Ediacaran period,
scientists need to reconsider the timeline of early animal evolution, said
Cuthill. Evolutionary biologists and paleontologists should start looking for
evidence of the first animals even earlier in the fossil record.
"Scientists
from all over the world are searching for evidence of early animals,"
Cuthill said. "These palaeontologists are using a range of techniques,
from chemical tests for the traces of life to the tried and tested method of
simply looking for fossils out in the field."
Detectives save Kenyans from one million bags of toxic rice

The cereal was found in warehouses in Mombasa
and there are fears some of it is already in the market. Rice importers to face
the law Growing list of harmful food substances on sale alarming Alarm as
shortages, high prices hit sugar sector MP wants colleagues probed on sugar
brief Even before the storm surrounding alleged contaminated sugar subsides,
detectives have impounded a staggering one million bags of toxic rice in
Mombasa County.
And that is not all. The investigators have
also confiscated more than 400 containers of cooking oil which, they say, do
not meet required standards. MP wants colleagues probed on sugar brief A team
of detectives working on a report compiled by Kenya Association of
Manufacturers (KAM) and Government agencies, including National Intelligence
Service (NIS), seized the goods last month. According to the Directorate of Criminal
Investigations (DCI), the rice, originally from Pakistan, had been condemned as
unfit for human consumption but somehow found its way into Kenya. The
consignment was past the expiry date by three years. In addition, the Kenya
Bureau of Standards (Kebs) refused to clear more than 400 containers
of 20kg jerricans of cooking oil from Malaysia. Yesterday, Director of
Criminal Investigations George Kinoti said rogue importers were printing new
bags that were transported to the high seas and used to repackage the
contaminated rice. “Yes, it’s true we have impounded about one million bags of
rice stored in some warehouses in Mombasa. We believe some of the toxic rice
may have been sneaked into the market,” Mr Kinoti said. Avoid becoming a victim
of Fake News. Subscribe to the Standard Group SMS service by texting 'NEWS' to

entry of the contraband rice. “They print new bags with fresh expiry dates then
repackage the rice ready for entry through the port. Some of the rice had been
condemned about three years ago as unfit for human consumption,” he added.
The Palm
Oil Refiners Association of Malaysia (Poram) has already petitioned its
government to intervene and have the oil shipped back to Malaysia. ALSO READ:
Punish MPs for creating circus over contraband sugar probe In a letter dated
July 10, 2018, Poram Chief Executive Officer Teoh Beng Chuan said the oil was
impounded as it did not have 20mg/kg of vitamin A as required. “We have further
been informed that the exporters’ request to take ownership of the cargo and
re-ship it to another destination has also been denied. Meanwhile, the
containers continue to remain in the port yard incurring additional storage
charges beyond the 14 days free period allowed,” Mr Chuan said. The letter to
Malaysia’s Deputy Secretary General (Trade), Ministry of International Trade
and Industry adds: “We therefore seek your kind assistance to have Kenyan
authorities to resolve this impasse urgently as it affects the image of
Malaysian palm oil industry in addition to the cost involved if its further
delayed." Collected intelligence This came as reports indicated KAM and
NIS had collected intelligence that could lead to major changes at Kebs,
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). The report,
already shared with President Uhuru Kenyatta, implicates the agencies in
corruption, according to those who have seen it. It details incidents where
port officials allowed in sub-standard goods, under-valued the goods and failed
to even inspect most containers, leading to major losses.
How MPs were swayed to shoot down report
Sources say officials from the agencies are likely to be charged in court this
week after the Director of Public Prosecutions approved their prosecution.
Besides the Mombasa port, the team is expanding its probe to other major entry
points. Three months ago, rice and expired spaghetti valued at Sh250 million
was destroyed after it was declared unfit for human consumption. Kebs said the
food, contained in 163 containers, underwent thorough screening before being
declared sub-standard. Kebs and KRA have imposed new rules that require all
goods destined for Kenya be verified at source. The inspecting agency will also
determine the duty to be paid by the manufacturer.
This was part of the Government’s efforts to
tighten the noose on tax evaders who under-declare the true cost of goods.
Inspection agency fees are pegged on a percentage of the total value of goods
and the same is sent to Kenya via the Internet to enable KRA to charge the
correct duty. Kinoti said their investigation dated back to January and showed
that Kenya had lost taxes amounting to Sh100 billion through tax evasion and
importation of contraband goods. On Friday, eight Government officials working
at the port were charged at the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Mombasa over the
release of 10,000 bags of sub-standard brown sugar. Court orders impounded
sugar be released They included the inspection manager and inspection officer
at Kebs and Kilindini Port respectively.
And last Monday, both KRA and DCI restated
their commitment to deepening collaboration in combating tax evasion and
corruption. “The collaboration focuses on varied aspects including the
management of customs clearance operations and the tackling of illicit trade,
and both importation and local manufacturer level. Concealment charges “In this
regard, the DCI and KRA wish to announce the arraignment in court of three
Kenya Ports Authority officials and one KRA official on charges of concealment
and improper declaration of goods imported through the Port of Mombasa,
contrary to Section 202(a) of the East African Community Act 2004,” said the
statement. The suspects were charged with concealing imported goods worth over
Sh6 million. According to the charge sheet, the accused on diverse dates
between July 3 and August 4, 2018 concealed goods at a KPA shed at the Embakasi
Inland Depot in Nairobi, intending to remove them without following prescribed
processes. A team of detectives from the DCI headquarters arrived in Mombasa
last week to extend the probe after visiting the KRA headquarters and the
Inland Container Depot. In Mombasa, they have interrogated a number of staff
and studied how cargo arrives, is inspected and released.
