BAGHDAD, IRAQ -- Following closely on
the heels of a 30,000 MT award in August (see USA Rice Daily, August 22, 2018),
Iraq has just announced another purchase of 90,000 MT of U.S. rice. Last
month, Iraq's Ministry of Trade had called for 30,000 MT of rice in a public
tender and also 30,000 MT of rice under the U.S. - Iraq Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU). Instead of only purchasing 30,000 MT under the MOU,
Iraq chose to purchase 90,000 MT. This brings the total amount of U.S.
rice generated by the MOU up to 210,000 MT since its inception in July 2016.
"This announcement comes at an opportune
time for our industry, as we continue to feel the effects of lower exports due
to retaliatory tariffs and trade tensions, and simultaneously have a massive
influx of crop as we're finishing up this year's harvest," said USA Rice
Chairman Charley Mathews. "Countless people involved in the rice industry
will benefit from this sale, including farmers, millers, packagers, logistics
operators, and shippers."
"We wouldn't have this great story to tell
were it not for a massive team effort to see these tenders succeed, including
help from U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue," said Ben
Mosely, USA Rice vice president for government affairs. "Congressmen
Abraham (R-LA), Crawford (R-AR), Higgins (R-LA), and Westerman (R-AR), and
Senators Boozman (R-AR) and Cotton (R-AR) helped communicate the importance of
these tenders to both the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Douglas Silliman and the
Iraqi Ambassador Fareed Yasseen. In addition, the letters encouraged both
ambassadors to work to ensure that high-quality U.S. rice can continue to be
provided to the Iraqi people."
Iraq imports more than one million tons of rice
annually and has been, and continues to be, an important destination for U.S.
rice.
Scientists hatch plans to increase maize
production by 30 per cent

In Summary
Increasing productivity of priority food crops like maize remains a
big agenda for scientists and funders trying to create food security. Lominda
Afedraru, writes.
By Lominda Afedraru
Maize farmers continue to lose in times of
bumper harvests.
However, scientists engaged in developing improved varieties at the National
Crop Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI) in Namulonge are looking at
available options to reverse this painful trend. To them the production of
maize and other priority crops such as rice and beans is inadequate as far as
commercialisation and satisfying the export market is concerned.
NaCRRI is working with partners under
Technologies for Africa Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) with an aim to boost
maize production by 30 per cent in order to make Africa food secure and gain a
sizeable share in the export market.
This project covers Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana,
Cameroon, Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique and Ethiopia.
Dr Jonas Chianu from Africa Development Bank,
who is coordinating the project, explains that funding worth $120 million
(Shs457b) has so far been allocated for nine priority commodities with $40
million (Shs152b) already dispatched to the beneficiaries.
The idea is to increase productivity of the priority crops like maize, beans
and rice using science. This means farmers will be sensitised on how to adopt
high yield nutrient varieties, particularly hybrid and bio fortified varieties.
Dr Grace Abalo, the focal person for Uganda in charge of improved maize
production, points out that a team of scientists is on the lookout for farmers
using best practices to improve productivity, harvest and post-harvest
practices as well as marketing and distribution.
She explains that maize is among the 15
strategic commodities that have been selected for the project considering
returns it creates on investment, priority within agro-ecological zones and the
number of households involved in growing the crop as well as contribution to
exports and potential future impact it can cause to the economy.
Uganda is the eighth largest producer of maize in Africa and third in East
Africa.
The production area for maize is 1.15 million hectares with a production of 2.7
million metric tonnes. An estimated 75 per cent of maize production and 70 per
cent of marketable surplus attributed to smallholder farmers.
Production
Dr Abalo explains that the project will target farmers to use existing
technologies developed by the National Agricultural Research Organisation
(Naro) to boost production and this includes use of water efficient maize
varieties, striga-resistant and herbicide tolerant maize varieties as well as
observing seeding/planting density and seed rate.
Farmers engaged in growing rice are expected to use Nerica 6, Komboka, WITA9,
Agoro and Okile and NamChe‐2, NamChe‐3, NamChe‐4, NamChe‐5, and NamChe‐6.
Agronomic package will involve fertiliser use, herbicide weed management,
timings, land preparation, insect and pest control and disease management.
Harvest, postharvest practices and storage
Abalo points out that most farmers in Uganda harvest maize when the moisture
content is as high as 18 per cent, thereby causing 900 tonnes of maize
loss.
She says the right practice is to harvest maize with moisture content of at
least 16 per cent although the recommended rate is 13 per cent.
This is achievable by using raised platforms or solar dryers especially during
wet season.
Farmers will be sensitised on how to get over
the old age harvesting practices by using affordable combined harvesting and
medium size millers.
Storage facilities such as metallic silos will be required and the harvest must
be protected against insects and weevils using the right insecticides.
Farmers must have central storage warehouses sand they must have a linkage with
grain aggregators to ensure good prices for their produce.
The plan
Farmers will be expected to produce and market in bulk both within the country
and for export.
The project aims to strengthen partnerships with seed companies, input dealers,
processors who should be in position to purchase grains at farm gate and at
reasonable prices.
Farmers will be linked with output markets, and
linkages will be made directly to buyers or buyers’ agents.
Farmers will also be availed with any market information and in case of bumper
harvest; they will be expected to store their produce and wait for the right
time to sell.
The government is expected to step in to consolidate regional market
integration where it should be responsible to purchase maize and export to its
neighboring countries.
Impact of the project
Dr Gospel Omanya from Africa Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) who will
implement the project explains that at the end of the project, scientists will
expect increased profit margins in the maize value chain through improved market
linkages, value adding activities and agribusiness training and incubation.
The project is expected to have reached at least two million households; 12
million farm family members in the 12 countries.
It also aims at increasing maize productivity by at least 30 per cent, enhance
incomes by at least 20 per cent for those households involved in the maize
value chain, at least 40 per cent-women and 25 per cent youth involvement in
the maize value chain by 2021.
An extra 12 million tonnes of maize grain will
be generated from the maize value chain.
The current maize production for Uganda is at 2.5 tonnes per hectare which is
expected to increase to 3.2 tonnes in the same acreage.
Dr Chianu noted that currently Africa is spending $131 trillion on food imports
and TAAT is aiming to alter this.
He says by 2030, Africa should be in position to feed the entire world because
of its arable land.
Big boost
The project is expected to have reached at least two million households; 12
million farm family members in the 12 countries, increase maize productivity by
at least 30 per cent, enhance incomes by at least 20 per cent for those
households involved in the maize value chain, at least 40 per cent women and 25
per cent youth involvement in the maize value chain by 2021 and an extra 12
million tonnes of maize grain generated from the Maize value chain.
The current maize production for Uganda is at 2.5 tonnes per hectare which is
expected to increase to 3.2 tonnes in the same acreage.
A group of
researchers at the Iowa State University developed a new method to extract
three proteins from transgenic rice plants that may stop HIV transmission into
human cells.
Nearly 37 million people worldwide
are currently living with HIV/AIDS, according to The Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV and AIDS. In 2016, over 1 million people died of
HIV/AIDS-related illnesses. Most of the infected population are in low- and
middle-income countries, with more than 25.5 million living in sub-Saharan
Africa. Among them, about 19 million are living in East and Southern Africa,
among whom saw 44% of new HIV infections globally.
The number of deaths caused by
HIV/AIDS is declining over the last few years owing to the use of antiretroviral drugs, but there were still
2 million new cases last year. The virus continues to spread as there are no
effective vaccines, and prevention remains mostly reliant on barrier methods
and abstinence, both of which have produced limited success.
Recently, scientists have shown
that HIV transmission can be prevented by using neutralizing monoclonal
antibodies and lectins. However, the traditional recombinant protein
manufacturing methods require strong technical skills and are too expensive for
developing countries.
In order to produce sufficient
supply of microbicides to protect at‐risk populations at low costs, a group of researchers at the
Iowa State University in the United States extracted three proteins from
transgenic rice plants that could help stop the spread of HIV. The research was
funded by a federal grant from the U.S. National Cancer Institute, and the
scientists recently published their results in Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences.
Extracting functional
HIV-neutralizing proteins from plants offers an inexpensive and viable
alternative to treating HIV/AIDS for developing countries
because transgenic rice is inexpensive to cultivate. The researchers have
tested the extracted proteins in a buffer solution, where all the three proteins
showed strong binding ability on the surface of the HIV envelope, resulting in
good synergistic HIV-1 neutralization effect.
The extracts made from such a
rice plant could be used to produce a topical antimicrobial gel that can be
applied before intercourse to prevent sexual transmission of HIV. Further
studies should be done to fully assess the safety and effectiveness before this
therapy can launch to the market.

Pre-bid
conference for rice importation draws 12 companies
TWELVE companies participated in
the pre-bid conference for the importation 250,000 metric tons of 25% broken
well-milled long grain white rice for the National Food Authority on Friday.
They were: Phoenix Global DMCC,
Vinafood 2, Asia Golden Rice, Shwe Hua Co. Ltd., GIA International Corp., Thai
Hua Co. Ltd., Ponglarp Co. Ltd., Thai Capital Crops Co. Ltd., ADM Asia Pacific
Trading PTE Ltd., Vinafood 1, Capital Cereals Co. Ltd., and Olam International
Limited.
According to an NFA statement,
the pre-bidding will tackle the eligibility requirements of prospective foreign
bidders; the parameters and technical specifications of the rice to be
imported; quantity, source, and packaging; specifications on the offer or
tender; bid security and performance bond; components of the price offer;
penalties; delivery provisions; arrival procedures; surveyor and cargo handler;
insurance and payments.
The actual bidding will be on
Oct. 18. The 250,000 metric tons of rice is part of the total 750,000 metric
tons of rice approved by the NFA Council to be imported this year.
It can be noted that Vinafood 2,
a state-owned corporation of Vietnam tasked to export rice and help achieve
food security in Southeast Asia, received original proponent status from the
NFA through its partnership with Filipino company AgriNurture Inc. in a
$1-billion exclusive deal to import 2 million metric tons of rice to the
Philippines starting this year.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary
Emmanuel F. Piñol also announced on Friday that stakeholders of the rice
industry agreed to have a Suggested Buying Price (SBP) for farmers’ produce and
Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for rice sold in the market.
“In the proposal, a base price
must be set for farm fresh paddy rice and for clean and dry palay. The initial
proposal was for a base price of P18 per kilo for farm fresh palay and P21 per
kilo for clean and dry paddy rice,” Mr. Piñol said in a statement.
The prices for the SBP will be
finalized by Oct. 18, Mr. Piñol said, while the implementation of the SRP will
take place at the end of October.
The agreed SRPs are: P39 per kilo
of regular milled rice, P42 per kilo of well-milled rice, P44 per kilo of long
grains head rice. Prices for heirloom and organic rice still have to be agreed
upon.
“In the first rice stakeholders
meeting which was called by the Philippine Council on Agriculture and Fisheries
which I presided as the new Chairman of the NFA Council, the stakeholders
agreed to implement SRP on rice by the last week of October. The traders
requested for a two-week grace period so they could dispose of the stocks they
bought at higher prices,” Mr. Piñol said.
Meanwhile, the NFA denied Senator
Sherwin T. Gatchalian’s statement that supermarkets are have to pay for a
permit to sell rice.
Mr. Gatchalian had said that “the
Philippine Amalgamated Supermarkets Association (Pagasa) revealed that the NFA
is requiring retailers with a paid-up capital of P10 million to pay P115,000
for a permit to sell rice.”
According to NFA, this is not
true and that the agency is surprised the issue was never brought up by the
supermarket owners to the Department of Trade and Industry when the memorandum
of agreement was signed to allow Pagasa members to sell NFA rice.
“Based on the NFA rules on
licensing, application fee for single-line business is only P110 while
multi-line business application fee is only P165. Additional fees for license
to retail depends on capitalization. Retailers with capitalization up to
P10,000 are only charged with P165 while the maximum is P11,000 for retailers
with capitalization of more than P1,000,000,” NFA said in its statement.

The
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has called on African governments to
increase investments in rice sector to sustain the momentum of the drive to
attain self-sufficiency.Mr. Bukar Tijani, Assistant Director General and Regional
Representative of the FAO, made the call on Thursday while addressing the high
level Ministerial Conference on Rice in Dakar, Senegal.
He
said that such investments would ensure the creation of gainful employment for
the youth and women along the entire rice value chain.
Tijani,
who is also a former Nigeria’s Minister of State for Agriculture and Water
Resources, expressed dismay that rice, a staple food in many African countries,
was still heavily imported.
“Data
shows that in 2015 alone, African countries imported about 36 percent of their
domestic rice requirements, amounting to over 4 billion dollars.
“Projection
also forecast that by 2020, the amount would reach 4.8 billion dollars
annually, and this is unacceptable,” he said.
Tijani,
however, said that with the demand for rice consumption in Africa currently
increasing at a rapid rate of 5.5 percent per annum, the only option for
countries to be on track on development goals was to achieve self-sufficiency
in rice production.
He
said this could only be achieved through sustaining a higher rate of production
and productivity along the rice value-chain.
The
FAO official noted that those countries that had successfully increased their
rice production was an indication of their government leadership in putting in
place the right policies, strategies and appropriate and adequate institutional
mechanisms.
The
former minister identified such mechanisms to include national rice platforms
that facilitated enhanced investment and effective coordination of multi-stakeholders
in the rice sector.
“In
the prevailing circumstances, self-sufficiency in rice for Africa will be
strategic and consequential, not just in terms of meeting consumption
requirements locally, but also through its multiplier effects.
“These
include reallocating the much-needed foreign exchange and investing in
rice-value chain development, an area that has the potential of creating and
expanding employment opportunities for youth and women,” he said.
Tijani
pledged to continue to support regional and national efforts on sustainable
intensification of rice production along the whole value-chain of the African
rice transformation agenda.
He
said that FAO had strengthened its partnership with various organisations to
support the African Union Commission and Regional Economic Communities to boost
productivity, strengthen rice value chains and support improved coordination of
regional markets.
He said the organisations
included AfricaRice, African Development Bank, International Fund for
Agricultural Development as well as Coalition for African Rice Development and
International Rice Research Institute
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The first week
of October offers so much amazing food. There is the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival
all week long, and then to cap it off is the International Food Festival at the
Evansville Islamic Center Sunday.
The festival began small, at
the original Islamic Center on Lincoln Avenue. Now in its 17th year, it has
grown into one of the year’s most highly-anticipated food events, with over
1,000 guests each year descending to enjoy delicacies from all over the Eastern
Mediterranean, Middle East and India.
On a recent morning, a group of
women converged at the Islamic Center’s fragrant kitchen to bake a thousand
stuffed fatayer pastries. The ladies were Libyan, Moroccan, Syrian, Pakistani,
Indian, Kurdish, Lebanese, Palestinian and Somalian. The pastries were
made with puffy homemade dough stuffed with olives and cream cheese or spinach
and onions.

The variety of people coming
together to create something wonderful is a lovely allegory for the festival,
which welcomes everyone from the surrounding area to the Islamic Center for a
day of community, shared understanding, delicious food and a goal of
helping those less fortunate enjoy their own meals.
Giving help to the needy is one
of the Five Pillars of Islam, and proceeds from the festival benefit the
Tri-State Food Bank. Since the first event in 2002, over $48,600 has been
given.
This year non-perishable food
items will also be collected for the Food Bank.

“The festival keeps growing
every year,” organizer Bushra Saqib said. “Each year we prepare for about a
thousand guests. It’s about all we can handle cooking-wise. We run out of food
at the end of the day, so it works about right. Last year it rained, and people
were standing in line anyway, so we appreciated that.”The menu stays fairly
constant with a variety of favorites such as rice-stuffed grape leaves, hummus
and pita, rice pilaf, tandoori chicken,shish kebabs, baklava dessert pastry and
more. Each year one or two new dishes are added to the mix, just to keep it
fresh and to represent as many of the cooks’ regional specialties as possible.
This year a new item on the
buffet will be Indian Butter Chicken.

“Butter chicken is a really
popular dish in India and Pakistan,” said cook Fouzia Khan of India, who will
be preparing hundreds of servings of the creamy, savory, lightly spicy
specialty.
“It has cumin, turmeric and
spices, then tomato sauce and heavy cream to make the curry, and you stir in butter
at the end. I chose it because I like it myself and because it’s not too spicy
with chilies, so nobody will have to worry that it’s too hot. And everybody
loves butter.”
Butter chicken can be eaten with
rice or dipped up with soft flatbread.

A second new option is the Kaak
bi ajwa, or Palestinian date cakes. These pretty little yeast-risen pastries
are stuffed with date paste before being coiled and baked.
As always, the festival will
feature a henna hand-painting artist and an international bazaar area. The
Islamic Center will be open, and visitors are welcome to tour it and ask
questions about Islam. While you’re there, visit the MASIHA booth to learn
about the new Muslim doctors’ group who are organizing a free clinic where
patients can be referred from the Echo Clinic to see a specialist.

With climate change expected to
only worsen, might there be some way rice farmers can take advantage?
During a recent University of
Arkansas-sponsored webinar (http://bit.ly/2OQd2yg), Lewis Ziska said it’s time
for researchers to answer that question. A plant physiologist with the USDA’s
Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Md., Ziska carries an impressive
list of credentials. His most recent book is “Agriculture, Climate Change and
Food Security in the 21st Century: Our Daily Bread.”
First, the bad news.
·Rising
temperatures can increase floral sterility, and high nighttime temperatures may
increase respiration. Can that be exacerbated by more CO2? “Potentially, but
the overall bottom line is it’s going to negatively impact rice yields.”
·Water
is essential to rice. Too little and too much may become the norm in the
(coming extremes). “Energy use in terms of either pumping water up or how
you’re going to get the water is going to have an impact.”
·Warmer
temperatures can affect chalkiness and export quality. That comes at a cost.
·Recent
and projected levels of CO2 are likely to reduce or alter nutritional rice
quality. “What does that mean in terms of impacts on markets and health? Those
are question we’re still trying to address.”
Potential good news?
So what’s the potential good
news? First, Ziska said to look at opportunity.
“CO2 is a resource. So, can it be
exploited as a means to increase yield?
“The first response I always get
is ‘Wait, breeders are already doing this.’ No, they’re not. We can’t find any
active breeding program that’s trying to actively select for CO2-responsive lines
of rice — or, for that matter, CO2-responsive lines of wheat, barley, oats or
anything. You can’t assume that just by happenstance you’re going to be
selecting for lines that are CO2-responsive.”
Ziska and colleagues looked at
oat cultivars and release dates — from the 1920s (when CO2 concentration was
about 300 parts per million) and the 1990s (CO2 concentration of about 380) —
at seven locations around the world.
“If breeders were, sort of de
facto, selecting for the most CO2-responsive cultivars, those released in the
1990s should show a much stronger response to the change in CO2. What we found
was that when you go to 300 to 400 parts per million, or 300 to 500 (the
near-term future changes), none of the new cultivars did much. It was only the
older cultivars that showed a stronger response.
“One of the things we found,
which was quite interesting, is when you look at variables — it doesn’t matter
what the variable is — and the equality of variance, there’s much more genetic
and phenotypic diversity in the old cultivars.”
Exploiting diversity
The new cultivars are essentially
the same, said Ziska, “and I understand that: you want less variation as you go
to more and more mechanized farming. But that variation, that genetic
difference, I think, will be key in being able to respond to the rise in CO2.
“We have all of this genetic
diversity ‘lying around.’ Can we exploit it? Use it to optimize this additional
resource being added to the atmosphere as we speak? I think the answer is yes.”
Ziska asked Dr. Bobby Coats,
University of Arkansas Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics and
Agribusiness, to Google “CO2 and marijuana” and to read the first link
provided. Sure enough, Coats read “How to use CO2 to increase cannabis yields.”
It turns out, said Ziska, “I can
go to the internet to find out where to get the CO2, how to apply it, what
temperature to apply it, how much more yield I can get, what varieties respond
to it, what the THC content is going to be. Now, I have to figure if a stoner
can do this why can’t a rice grower? Why can’t we exploit this CO2 as a means
to increase rice yields given that it’s already gone up by 30 percent and it’ll
double by the end of the century?”
Management and ratoon rice
What about management?
Ziska focused not only on
planting dates but ratoon rice. “This is a kind of management used in rice and
sugarcane — a way to cut the plant, add a fertilizer and get a second crop.
Sometimes it takes minimal preparation and the yield can be up to 50 percent of
the main crop.”
But there’s a catch as growers
need a longer growing season — at least 75 days after the main crop is
harvested, plus warm temperatures.
“Is there an opportunity here? We
analyzed five locations: Cameron Parish and Avoyelles Parish in Louisiana;
Desha County and Mississippi County in Arkansas; and Cape Girardeau in
Missouri. In Cameron Parish, it’s warm enough and the season is long enough
that ratooning is constantly practiced there.”
But, Ziska pointed out, the
variation between water vapor and CO2 means “as you move towards the poles, as
you go up in latitude, the effect of climate change will be greater. … Can we
practice ratoon now? If not now, how about in the future?”
When looking at the five
locations from 1976 to 2016 and the length of a ratooning season, “it isn’t
changing much in Cameron Parish, but the farther north I go, the growing season
is getting longer. In fact, right now, it looks like the growing season is long
enough in Mississippi County and Cape Girardeau.”
Looking at a chart showing DD50
data, in 1976, “in Avoyelles Parish it wasn’t warm enough to ratoon but now it
is. In fact, it’s warm enough and the growing season is long enough that if I
were an Extension agent I’d go to those growing rice in the parish and say,
‘Yeah, maybe you should think about ratooning.’”
Desha and Mississippi counties
“aren’t quite there yet. … But in Desha County, ratooning is something you
could probably do routinely by the middle of the current century. And by the
end of the century, depending on how quickly the climate warms, you might even
be able to do it in Cape Girardeau.”
There are caveats, of course.
“Among them: high nighttime temperatures will still be
important; the response of ratooning will also depend on cultivars; and water
and energy (fertilizer) will still be key.”
49th annual Texas Rice Festival
kicks off, church prepares thousands of rice balls
The St. Louis Catholic Church in Winnie has been feeding
visitors of the Texas Rice Festival since the event first began 49 years ago.
Members of the church begin preparing the popular rice balls five days in
advance.

WINNIE — The 49th annual Texas Rice
Festival kicked off Wednesday, drawing hundreds of people to Winnie.
The St. Louis Catholic Church in
Winnie has been a part of the event every year since the beginning, creating
the popular and delicious rice balls.
"We made 80 rice balls our
first year in downtown Winnie in a big black pot with lumber underneath
it," says church volunteer Mark Huddleston. "Now we do 14,581 rice
balls. We've already sold 2,000 today already."
The men and women of the church
begin preparing for the masses a week prior to the festival because it takes
five days to make these clumps of joy.
A meatball filled with rice,
parmesan cheese, butter, chili, and seasoning make these appetizing delights so
tasty.
"Rice balls are really good,
they got a lot of good ingredients in them and I just like eating them,"
says 11-year-old Ethan Cart. "They're the best thing I've tasted yet so
far."
The St. Louis Catholic Church
generates roughly $40,000 from rice ball sales each year during this event.
Although music, livestock and
carnival rides provide entertainment for thousands who attend the festival each
year, rice takes center stage showing support for area farmers.
"We still love you, we still
think about you," says Texas Rice Festival entertainment chairman Chad
Andrus. "You are still a major part of our economy and part of our culture
here in Southeast Texas, especially Winnie."
For Huddleston, rice has always been
a part of the family.
"It's a tradition here now. I
farmed rice for 42 years and retired in 2014," says Huddleston. "It's
been a part of my family and we're just celebrating the fall, with the cuttings
and all that. It's been great."
The Texas Rice Festival continues
through Sunday and a list of events can be found on its website.
Rice production
is expected to show a marginal improvement in area and production by 4.67 per cent
and 1.21 per cent. National Bulk Handling Corporation (NBHC) in its first
kharif crop estimates for the year 2018-19 has indicated that amidst the
erratic distribution of monsoon
rains and with the possibilities of as many as 254 districts facing drought
like situation, the total kharif cereals production likely to decline
marginally by 1.71 per cent compared to last kharif.
The NBHC report compiled by Hanish Kumar Sinha, Head - Research &
Development said that in the first kharif crop estimates report for the year
2018-19 has said that on the monsoon front, India's monsoon, which irrigates
more than half of the country's farmland, is below an earlier forecast of
normal showers. Backed by good monsoon rainfall last year India had produced
record 284.83 MT of food grains in the 2017-18. This year highly erratic
monsoon and its obscure spread may reduce food grain output in the ongoing
kharif season.
"As per our analysis and industry’s feedback on the sowing progress and
the status of the current crop, the total Kharif Cereals production is likely
to decline marginally by 1.71 per cent. Despite heavy rains after the second
half of August and first week of September, which caused floods across Bihar,
Kerala, Assam Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh, as many as 254 districts are faced
with drought like situation this monsoon. The country has been affected by
heavy rains in some states leading to massive flooding while the other states
are dealing with significantly deficient and drought like situations," the
report adds.
Rice production is
expected to show a marginal improvement in area and production by 4.67 per cent
and 1.21 per cent. Within the rice segment, Basmati Rice area and production is expected to
decrease by 2.25 per cent and 7.15 per cent respectively, whereas the
Non-Basmati rice is expected to increase marginally by 4.96 per cent and 1.73
per cent. Maize is expected marginal lower in area at 1.66 per cent and
significant decline in production at 9.64 per cent, as many farmers shifted to
other remunerative crops, few districts in Karnataka and Maharashtra, major
growers of the crop, got less rains and experienced pest infestation which
would have result in yield loss.
The NBHC report adds "Maximum decline is expected in Ragi whose production
is expected to fall by 23.88 per cent while its area is likely to shrink by
18.90 per cent. Lack of remunerative income has led Jowar & Bajra farmers
to shift their cropping pattern to other cash crops."

(Press Release) - (10/5/18)
America’s rice farmers can celebrate today after Iraq agreed to purchase a
whopping 90,000 metric tons – or 200 million pounds – of rice from the United
States, thanks in part to lobbying from Congressman Ralph Abraham, M.D.,
R-Alto, and other members of Congress.
Dr. Abraham led a letter in
September to U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Douglas Silliman urging his team to work
with Iraq to buy American rice to satisfy a recent rice tender. Sens. John
Boozman, R-Ark., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Congressmen Clay Higgins, R-La.,
and Rick Crawford, R-Ark., joined Dr. Abraham on the letter.
“Iraq is buying three times more
rice than we requested in our letter, so I’m thrilled that this resulted in
such a successful sale. A purchase of this great amount will have an
immediate and strong impact on the American rice market, and this is certainly
a testament to American rice producers, who grow the best rice in the world,”
said Dr. Abraham, a member of the House Agriculture Committee.
Louisiana is a top state for rice
production. Louisiana producers harvested 2.7 billion pounds of rice worth
$372.7 million in 2017, according to the LSU AgCenter.
Dr. Abraham has led several
letters to Iraq over the last few years advocating for US rice. The most recent
success was in August when Iraq purchased 15,000 metric tons from the United
States.
THIRTEEN firms, mostly from Thailand and Vietnam, have expressed
interest in supplying an initial 250,000 metric tons (MT) of rice needed by the
Philippines to boost buffer stocks and lower domestic prices.
Bidding applications submitted to the National Food Authority
(NFA) on Friday showed five of the traders were from Thailand, four from
Vietnam, two from Singapore, and one each from Myanmar and Dubai.
They were identified as Phoenix Global DMCC, Vietnam Southern Food
Corp. (Vinafood II), Asia Golden Rice Co., Shwe Wah Yaung Agricultural Products
Co. Inc., Gia International Corp., Thai Hua Co. Ltd., Ponglarp Co. Ltd., Thai
Capital Crops Co. Ltd., ADM Asia Pacific Trading PTE Ltd., Vietnam Northern
Food Corp. (Vinafood I), Capital Cereals Co Ltd., Olam International Ltd., Tan
Long Group Joint Stock Company.
NFA Deputy Administrator Judy Carol Dansal, who chairs the Special
Bids and Awards Committee, said the agency wanted more traders to participate
to capture the “lowest” prices.
“The more participants in the bidding, the better the price we may
be able to gain since there will be more who will be competing,” Dansal said.
The final number could be larger, she added, ahead of the October
18 bidding proper.
The NFA has invited bidders to supply the country with 250,000 MT
of well-milled long grain at 25 percent broken, to be delivered before the year
ends.
The volume is part of the government’s 750,000 MT rice importation
for the rest of the year. The NFA has allotted a budget of nearly P6 billion.
The NFA Council decided to authorize the importation in three
batches of 250,000 MT each, arriving every two weeks beginning Nov. 30.
“We will divide the 750,000 MT into three. On October 18, we will
bid out the first 250,000 MT. Then it will be followed two weeks after by
another 250,000 MT, then two weeks after another 250,000 MT,” NFA spokesperson
Rex Estoperez earlier told reporters.
He also said that the NFA was hoping to finish the bidding process
for the entire 750,000 MT by the first week of November.
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol has said that the only way to
bring down rice prices is to “flood the market” with affordable rice,
particularly government-subsidized NFA rice.
The NFA has a standby authority to import one million MT of rice
for 2019.

Rice export price in India fell for a second week on sluggish
demand. Top exporter India's 5 percent broken parboiled variety was quoted
around $367-$373 per tonne this week, down from $370-$374 last week.
The rupee plumbed record lows on Thursday, having shed more than 13 percent
this year, allowing exporters to lower their offers.
The falling rupee is making Indian exports more competitive than Thailand and
Vietnam.
Rice rates in Thailand were propped up by lower supply and expectations of new
orders from Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. In Thailand, benchmark 5 percent
broken Rice price were quoted at $390–$403 per tonne, free on board (FOB)
Bangkok, versus $395–$398 last week.
In Vietnam, price of the 5 percent broken Rice were unchanged at $400-$405 a
tonne, as weak demand due to a week-long Chinese holiday offset any impact from
a fall in supply after the country's two major crops ended.
Pre-bid conference for rice importation draws 12 companies
October 5, 2018 | 6:58 pm
PHILSTAR
TWELVE companies participated in
the pre-bid conference for the importation 250,000 metric tons of 25% broken
well-milled long grain white rice for the National Food Authority on Friday.
They were: Phoenix Global DMCC,
Vinafood 2, Asia Golden Rice, Shwe Hua Co. Ltd., GIA International Corp., Thai
Hua Co. Ltd., Ponglarp Co. Ltd., Thai Capital Crops Co. Ltd., ADM Asia Pacific
Trading PTE Ltd., Vinafood 1, Capital Cereals Co. Ltd., and Olam International
Limited.
According to an NFA statement,
the pre-bidding will tackle the eligibility requirements of prospective foreign
bidders; the parameters and technical specifications of the rice to be
imported; quantity, source, and packaging; specifications on the offer or
tender; bid security and performance bond; components of the price offer;
penalties; delivery provisions; arrival procedures; surveyor and cargo handler;
insurance and payments.
The actual bidding will be on
Oct. 18. The 250,000 metric tons of rice is part of the total 750,000 metric
tons of rice approved by the NFA Council to be imported this year.
It can be noted that Vinafood 2, a
state-owned corporation of Vietnam tasked to export rice and help achieve food
security in Southeast Asia, received original proponent status from the NFA
through its partnership with Filipino company AgriNurture Inc. in a $1-billion
exclusive deal to import 2 million metric tons of rice to the Philippines
starting this year.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary
Emmanuel F. Piñol also announced on Friday that stakeholders of the rice
industry agreed to have a Suggested Buying Price (SBP) for farmers’ produce and
Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for rice sold in the market.
“In the proposal, a base price
must be set for farm fresh paddy rice and for clean and dry palay. The initial
proposal was for a base price of P18 per kilo for farm fresh palay and P21 per
kilo for clean and dry paddy rice,” Mr. Piñol said in a statement.
The prices for the SBP will be
finalized by Oct. 18, Mr. Piñol said, while the implementation of the SRP will
take place at the end of October.
The agreed SRPs are: P39 per kilo
of regular milled rice, P42 per kilo of well-milled rice, P44 per kilo of long
grains head rice. Prices for heirloom and organic rice still have to be agreed
upon.
“In the first rice stakeholders
meeting which was called by the Philippine Council on Agriculture and Fisheries
which I presided as the new Chairman of the NFA Council, the stakeholders
agreed to implement SRP on rice by the last week of October. The traders
requested for a two-week grace period so they could dispose of the stocks they
bought at higher prices,” Mr. Piñol said.
Meanwhile, the NFA denied Senator
Sherwin T. Gatchalian’s statement that supermarkets are have to pay for a
permit to sell rice.
Mr. Gatchalian had said that “the
Philippine Amalgamated Supermarkets Association (Pagasa) revealed that the NFA
is requiring retailers with a paid-up capital of P10 million to pay P115,000
for a permit to sell rice.”
According to NFA, this is not
true and that the agency is surprised the issue was never brought up by the
supermarket owners to the Department of Trade and Industry when the memorandum
of agreement was signed to allow Pagasa members to sell NFA rice.
“Based on the NFA rules on
licensing, application fee for single-line business is only P110 while
multi-line business application fee is only P165. Additional fees for license
to retail depends on capitalization. Retailers with capitalization up to
P10,000 are only charged with P165 while the maximum is P11,000 for retailers
with capitalization of more than P1,000,000,” NFA said in its statement.

Audu Ogbeh, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh,
says if appropriate measures were not taken to replant after the recent flood,
the country may be in serious trouble with rice production.
Mr Ogbeh disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday at the inauguration
of National Agricultural Seed Council (NASC) Molecular Facility and the 2018
seed fair and Farmer’s field day.
He said the flood had affected some major rice producing states,
adding that the country might experience scarcity of rice, if not addressed.
“We have to find out a way to assist farmers, who were affected
by the flood; places like Jigawa, Kebbi, Anambra and Kogi were majorly
affected. Farmers lost everything they planted.
“There are different varieties of rice that are being produced
at NASC like faro 66 and 67 which are flood tolerant.
“We hope to get them into the field in large quantity for
farmers to plant in the near future.
“We are also hoping that as soon as the rain seized, we are
encouraging farmers to replant so that the residual moisture on the soil plus
irrigation can give us another crop by the end of December or early January.
“Otherwise, we will be in serious trouble for rice, millet,
sorghum and maize next year,” he said.
The minister expressed his pleasure and honour to be given the
opportunity to chair this year’s Seed Fair and Farmers’ Field Day and
inaugurate the NASC Molecular Laboratory.
“It is quite heartwarming to note that NASC has over the years
kept faith in its drive to ensure the availability of quality seeds to farmers.
“Also, this event is being used as a platform for creating
awareness among our great farmers and the farming communities to showcase the
different improved crop varieties that can enhance the productivity and
increase national food security.
Also peaking, Philip Ojo, the Director-General, NASC, said the
2018 event was opened with a Road Walk from the Federal Secretariat to the
Minister of Agriculture.
“This was followed by a Symposium. All the events were geared
towards creating improved seeds awareness among our great farmers and the
farming communities, especially in the Federal Capital Territory.
“I wish to state categorically that improved seed use is the
most cost effective means of enhancing agricultural productivity.
“It is important to inform you all that between the 2017 and
2018, a lot of successes have been achieved in the Nigerian Seed industry.
“NASC collaborations with other stakeholders have started
yielded positive results such as the NASC Molecular Facility that will soon be
inaugurated.
“The facility which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation under the BASICS Programme will help in the development of the
Cassava Seed System in the country and enhance productivity,” he said.
The director-general appealed for more support from the state
governors in order to step up the agency’s regulatory activities to rid the
market of fake and adulterated seeds.
The yearly event has: “Enhancing Improved Seed Adoption towards
achieving Food Security and Wealth Creation,” as its theme for 2018.
Fake seeds confiscated by the council were burnt by the minister
during the event.
