Subsidy for rice huskers
increased
KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) issued a circular on
Wednesday, providing a bigger markup subsidy and guarantee facility for
rice-husking mills in Sindh.
“To help the rice-husking mills of Sindh upgrade their existing
processing units, the financing limit under the subject facility has been
enhanced from Rs10 million to Rs16m for those mills that intend to include
mechanised dryers in their processing lines,” said the circular.Rice-husking
mills already availing the facility of up to Rs10m can acquire additional Rs6m
if they intend to add mechanised dryers to their units, said the SBP.Control of
rice institutes: The Sindh government has agreed to hand over rice research
institutes to rice exporters on a public-private partnership basis to improve
their performance and help evolve new seed varieties.
In a meeting with the members of the Rice Exporters Association
of Pakistan (Reap) on Wednesday, Minister for Agriculture Sohail Anwar Khan
Sial said a summary will be forwarded to Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah for
approval.He said the move will help activate rice research institutes, which
have not been operational for the last many years. He also urged growers and
rice millers to do value addition and produce rice of a better quality to help
the country fetch more foreign exchange.
The Reap delegation was led by its chairman Mahmood Moulvi.

USA Rice Celebrates World Food Day in Mexico
NAUCALPAN, MEXICO
-- Earlier this month, USA Rice sponsored an event here to commemorate Dia
Mundial de la Alimentación (World Food Day), a day of action against hunger
where people around the world come together to declare their commitment to
eradicate hunger. On or around this date every year, advocates from The
National System for Integral Family Development (Sistema Nacional para el
Desarrollo Integral de la Familia or DIF) work to raise awareness and engage
Mexicans to take steps in ending malnutrition in their communities.
The purpose of the DIF-sponsored event was to promote a culture of healthy eating and to reduce malnutrition in the community. More than 600 people from the community attended the seminars about hunger and proper nutrition, learned healthy eating tips, visited booths with free food offerings and food baskets, and participated in a cooking contest.
At the USA Rice booth chefs prepared nutritious recipes, including main dishes, vegetarian dishes, desserts, and paella. Consumers were impressed with the great variety of recipes that can be prepared with rice, and in particular how many dishes it can yield.
"U.S. rice is a versatile, economic, and substantial food that serves a vital role in the health of the entire family," said Michelle Lehrer, communications coordinator for Mexpromos who represents USA Rice in Mexico. "They invited me on stage to address the audience and talk about the importance of including rice as part of a healthy, balanced diet due to all the vitamins and essential nutrients it provides."
Armando Rene Gordillo Contreras, general director of DIF Naucalpan, thanked USA Rice for sponsoring the event saying, "Rice is one of the most nutritious foods we can consume, and we should take advantage and apply all the valuable information we learned here today. We should be inspired to consume more rice at home and ensure that we select U.S.-grown rice for our families to guarantee a high-quality and healthy product."

FOOD SECURITY SNAPSHOT
·
Aggregate rice production in 2016
forecast slightly below last year’s record level
·
Cereal imports in 2016/17
marketing year (July/June) forecast to decrease
·
Rice prices surged to record
highs, while those of wheat are stable
Aggregate rice production in 2016 forecast slightly below last
year’s record level
Harvesting of the 2016 ‘’aman’’ season rice crop, accounting for
40 percent of the annual output, is expected to start in November and continue
until January. Overall, favourable weather conditions during the cropping
season benefited sowing activities and crop development. FAO currently
forecasts the 2016 ‘’aman’’ paddy production at 20.6 million tonnes, 2 percent
above the 2015 record. This reflects an increase in the area planted, in
response to a rebound in prices and continued Government support and higher
yields due to favourable weather conditions. Harvesting of the 2016 ‘’boro’’
and ‘’aus’’ seasons rice were completed earlier in the year. The ‘’boro’’
production is officially estimated at 28.4 million tonnes, slightly below the
2015 record, owing to a contraction in planted areas, mainly in response to low
domestic prices at sowing time. Similarly, low prices were behind area cuts to
the 2016 ‘’aus’ crop, which is estimated by FAO to reach 3.4 million tonnes,
down 2 percent year-on-year. Overall, FAO forecasts the 2016 aggregate rice
production at 52.3 million tonnes, marginally below the 2015 record level.
Harvesting of the 2016 maize crop is nearing completion and is
forecast by FAO at 2.6 million tonnes, slightly above last year’s record. The
2016 minor winter wheat crop, harvested by April, is officially estimated to
have increased marginally to 1.36 million tonnes.
Cereal imports in 2016/17 marketing year forecast to decrease from
last year’s record
Cereal imports in the current 2016/17 marketing year (July/June)
are forecast at 5.3 million tonnes, 6 percent down from last year’s record
level. The decrease reflects lower rice imports which are forecast at 350 000
tonnes, nearly half the level of 2015/16, in line with expectations of
sufficient local availabilities from a large 2016 crop and high carryover
stocks. The successive increases of the import duty on rice, which in June 2016
was set to 25 percent, also trimmed down imports. This constituted the second
duty increase since import tariffs were reintroduced in May 2015. Similarly,
maize imports are set to decrease to 550 000 tonnes from the previous year’s
high level. Wheat imports are anticipated to remain close to last year’s record
at 4.4 million tonnes.
Rice prices surged to record highs, while those of wheat are
stable
Retail and wholesale prices of rice reached record highs in
September after strong increases since June as a result of tightening domestic
supplies. Seasonal upward pressure was exacerbated by a reduced 2016 main boro
and the smaller aus crops gathered earlier in the year and low imports in
recent months. Ongoing Government procurement purchases, albeit not large, also
provided some support. In order to make rice more affordable for the poor, the
Government launched, in mid‑September, a new social safety scheme which adds to
several other safety net programmes already in place.
Prices of mostly imported wheat and wheat flour were stable in
September and below their year-earlier levels due to record imports by the
private sector and a bumper 2016 harvest. The continuing distribution of wheat
flour by the Government through Open Market Sales (OMS) also keeps prices low.
Severe floods affected large number of people in northern and
central parts
Heavy monsoon rains in July caused a series of localized floods
and landslides, mostly concentrated in northern and central parts of the
country, affecting at least 3.7 million people and damaging a total of 251 716
houses. The most affected districts include Kurigram, Gaibandha, Jamalpur,
Lalmonirhat and Sirajganj located in the north and Tangail, Madaripur,
Manikganj and Shariatpur in the centre. The floods in July followed earlier
tropical cyclone Roanu, which triggered strong winds, landslides and flooding
over southern coastal areas in mid-May, affecting at least 1.3 million people.

Rice millers put Civil Supplies in
tight spot

Rice Millers
NON-PAYMENT OF INTEREST TO BANKS
Hyderabad: Unconscionable delay caused by
millers in delivering Custom Milled Rice (CMR) during the last two and a half
years has forced the Telangana State government to cough up Rs 1,200 crore
additionally as interest to banks over ‘cash credit’.According to officials,
the Civil Supplies Department, with a turnover of Rs 10,000 crore, avails
itself of cash credit from banks.
However, of late the department has failed to repay the amount in time
due to inordinate delay by the millers, which sometimes drags on for years
together. There were huge financial implications on the department and the
government because of this reason. Since we were not able to repay the interest
on the credit, it has jumped to Rs 1,200 crore in the new State. We were unable
to collect what is due to the department,” a top official revealed.
The department recently recovered about 98 per
cent of the Rs 482.5 crore due from the millers who owed CMR to the government
during 2015-16. Five meetings between
the officials and millers during the past two months yielded positive results,
as most of them came to terms with the norms.
During a meeting on Wednesday, as many as 115 black-listed millers were
asked to deliver the rice or pay up cash by specified dates. Officials claimed
that Rs 134 crore worth CMR was not delivered to the government during the
period 2010-11 to 2014-15. “We have been asking them to perform business like a
businessman, but not like a greedy person who invites criminal action from the
government,” the official added.As per official records, millers of various
districts ‘misappropriated’ Rs 149.96 crore, but paid only Rs 15.97 crore
during the five years. Among these districts,
Nalgonda district tops with Rs 51.612 crore dues, followed by Karimnagar
with 22.64 crore. The department has also launched a special drive to recover
from millers 5 crore jute gunny bags, worth Rs 203 crore, which had piled up
during the last five years

Sunitha warns against recycling of
PDS rice
By Our Bureau | THE HANS INDIA | Oct 28,2016 , 02:22 AM
IST
Kakinada: Civil Supplies Minister Paritala
Sunitha warned of stringent action on those responsible for the recycling of
PDS rice, including rice mills. The Minister reviewed the PDS rice
distribution, supply of essentials, Minimum Support Price (MSP) to paddy and
supply of custom-milled rice, at the Collectorate on Thursday and advised
millers not to purchase PDS rice.She complimented the district for emerging as
a role model in the implementation of e-POS in PDS system and informed that the
same was being implemented at all the 29,000 shops across the State, which she
added would save huge money to the exchequer.
Stating that no household should have to resort
to using firewood for cooking purposes, Sunitha said that 25 lakh LPG
connections would be distributed to the eligible people in the State.
The Minister said that more than 10 lakh new
ration cards had been issued in the last couple of years and that 5 lakh more
cards would be issued after the completion of the ongoing ‘smart survey’. She
said that no eligible person would want for a ration card.
The Minister promised to take up all the issues
raised by the East Godavari Rice Millers Association president Ambati
Ramakrishna Reddy. She advised the PDS dealers not to resort to any sort of
malpractices as the government had enhanced their commission on sale of PDS
items.
Deputy Chief Minister N Chinarajappa, Civil
Supplies Corporation chairman M Linga
Reddy and East Godavari joint collector S Satyanarayana and officials
participated in the meeting. Prior to the review meeting, Sunitha laid the
foundation stone for the construction of a new petrol station near ZP centre in
the city

Vitamin A rice
now a reality
Field trial shows high promise,
people may get it by 2018
With this development, a long wait
is nearly over for rice breeders who have been trying since 1999 for a varietal
development and release of Golden Rice, long being touted by the scientist
fraternity as a key remedy to acute VAD problem.
According to the World Health
Organization's global VAD database, one in every five pre-school children in
Bangladesh is vitamin A-deficient. Among the pregnant women, 23.7 percent
suffer from VAD.
BRRI scientists analysed the
post-harvest data collected from the first field test conducted on GR2E BRRI
dhan29 during the last Boro season (November 2015 - May 2016) and drew the
conclusion just recently that the results are positive.
“Two months after harvest, we've
found an average of over 10 μg/g beta carotene in GR2E BRRI dhan29. The
amount is good enough to meet 50 percent of vitamin-A needs of people consuming
rice in their daily diet,” Dr Partha S Biswas, project leader of Golden Rice
Project at BRRI, told The Daily Star.
The vitamin A-rich rice, named Golden Rice for its golden colour, was first
developed by splicing three foreign genes -- two from daffodil and one from a
bacterium -- into japonica rice, a variety adapted to temperate climates. It is
capable of producing beta carotene. But for a better beta carotene expression
in rice, the daffodil genes were replaced by maize genes later in 2005.
The BRRI carried out the field
trial on the campus of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) in
Gazipur to keep Golden Rice segregated from other rice varieties grown in BRRI
fields.Provided the BRRI gets the necessary regulatory approval, the
organisation would go for multi-location field trials of GR2E BRRI dhan29 in
Boro seasons in next two years to set off the process of its commercial
release, said Partha.
None of the major diseases like
blast, sheath blight, bacterial blight and tungro was observed in the
transgenic GR2E BRRI dhan29 and the yield was as good as that of the BRRI
dhan29 (check variety) with good expression of beta carotene, according to a
paper titled “Recent Advances in Breeding Golden Rice in Bangladesh”.
The paper coauthored by Dr Partha,
and the IRRI's Golden Rice Project Coordinator Dr Violeta Villegas, and
Regulatory Affairs head Dr Donald J Mackenzie, was presented at the 4th Annual
South Asia Biosafety Conference in Hyderabad, India in late September.The
Philippines is the only other country that is carrying out a multi-location
field trial now on their homegrown Golden Rice line while the process of Golden
Rice research remained at laboratory and greenhouse stages in Indonesia, India
and Vietnam.
Although Bangladeshi rice
scientists have been at the forefront of Golden Rice research since the
development of this transgenic rice by Swiss and German scientists in 1999, the
process gathered momentum only when then IRRI (International Rice Research
Institute) plant biotechnologist, Dr Swapan K Datta, infused the genes responsible
for beta carotene into BRRI dhan29 in 2002-03.
The genetic engineering technology
to derive vitamin A in rice was first applied by Prof Ingo Potrykus of Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Prof Peter Beyer of the
University of Freiburg, Germany back in 1999. All renowned journals and news
magazines, including the Nature, the Science and the Time, covered the
breakthrough in 2000.The first generation Golden Rice (known as GR1) was
developed through infusing genes from daffodil, but later the second generation
variety (known as GR2) was developed by taking a maize from corn as it gave
much better output of pro-vitamin A.
Some six lines of GR2
(scientifically called “events”) were developed and the IRRI chose to work on
one called GR2R, which it developed and subsequently infused in Filipino and
Bangladeshi rice varieties.
After years of lab and greenhouse
tests on GR2R, the Philippines and Bangladesh eventually stopped upon an IRRI
advice that Event GR2E would work better.
Golden Rice co-inventor Prof Peter
Beyer told this newspaper that there were some problems with the Event GR2R. He
said the new Event should work well.Swapan K Datta, ex-IRRI scientist who
infused beta carotene-producing genes into Bangladesh's best performing rice
variety, BRRI dhan29, said he was looking forward to see Golden Rice goes to
farmers' fields.
The BRRI dhan29, developed by BRRI
in 1994, is the most productive dry season rice variety of Bangladesh that has
gone beyond national boundaries to be grown in many other countries including
India, China, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar.Rice does not contain beta
carotene. Therefore, dependence on rice as the predominant food source
necessarily leads to vitamin-A deficiency, most severely affecting small
children and pregnant women.
Consumption of only 150 gram of
Golden Rice a day is expected to supply half of the recommended daily intake
(RDA) of vitamin A for an adult. People in Bangladesh depend on rice for 70
percent of their daily calorie intakes.The IRRI says VAD is the main cause of
preventable blindness in children and globally, some 6.7 million children die
every year and another 3,50,000 go blind because they are vitamin-A deficient.In
April 2011, Seattle-based Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation sanctioned a grant
of over $10 million to IRRI to fund, develop and evaluate Golden Rice varieties
for Bangladesh and the Philippines.
Officials concerned at IRRI and
Gates Foundation said as the Golden Rice inventors and subsequent technology
developer Syngenta allowed a royalty-free access to the patents, the new rice
would be of the same price as other rice varieties once released for commercial
farming in Bangladesh, and farmers would be able to share and replant the seeds
as they wish
Arkansas Scientist Pleads in Rice
Seed Theft Case
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Oct 26, 2016, 6:46 PM ET
A61-year-old scientist has
pleaded guilty to a federal charge nearly three years after he was accused of
stealing proprietary seeds developed in the U.S. and giving them to a
delegation visiting from China.Wengui Yan, of Stuttgart, Arkansas, pleaded
guilty Monday in federal court in Kansas City, Kansas, to one count of making
false statements to the FBI, the Justice Department said in a release Wednesday.
Yan was a geneticist for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture at the Dale Bumpers National Research Center in
Stuttgart, when he was originally charged in December 2013. He and another
scientist Weiqiang Zhang were charged with conspiracy to steal trade secrets
and theft of trade secrets. Zhang is a U.S. permanent resident and Yan a
naturalized U.S. citizen.Zhang, 50, an agricultural seed breeder at Ventria
Bioscience's facility in Junction City, is awaiting a trial.
According to Yan's plea, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection found the seeds in the luggage of a delegation
from China as the delegation prepared to leave the U.S. in August 2013. The
group had recently visited the USDA's Stuttgart center.
Yan admitted in the plea that he
traveled with the Chinese delegation to an Arkansas rice farm and knew they
would have an opportunity to steal seeds, and that after the seeds were stolen,
Yan denied knowing about the theft.Yan faces up to about a year and a half in
federal prison. Under the original charges, he had faced up to 10 years in
prison and fines up to $250,000 on each count.

Rajshahi farmers getting benefits from
jute-rice relay cropping
RAJSHAHI, Oct 27 (BSS): Many farmers are being
benefited through cultivating aman paddy on jute field in relay cropping system
in the region for the last couple of years.
Agricultural extension officials, scientists
and researchers made the observation while addressing a farmers gathering on
jute-rice relay cropping at Mirkamari village under Charghat of the district on
Wednesday.
Regional office of Bangladesh Rice Research
Institute (BRRI) organised the programme to encourage more other farmers
towards the relay cropping for boosting paddy yield through resource conservation.
Additional Director of Department of
Agriculture Extension Fazlur Rahman and Chief Scientific Officer of BRRI Dr
Mostofa Kamal addressed the meeting as the chief and special guests
respectively with BRRI Chief Scientific Officer Dr Rafiqul Islam in the chair.
Regional Agriculture Information Officer
Abdullah- Hil- Kafi, Upazila Agriculture Officer Abu Jafar Sadeque and Sub
Assistant Agriculture Officer Habibur Rahman also spoke.
Principles of conservation agriculture are use
of reduced tillage, retention of some amounts of residues on the field,
sustainable and profitable crop diversification and its rotation and judicious
use of natural resources.
In present context of climate change especially
unpredictable rainfall, unusual drought and other natural calamities, this
technology can help the farmers utilising the minimum amount of water for cros,
he added.
Food production demand is gradually increasing
to feed the huge number population and more pressures are coming on per-unit
cultivable land. To this end, the new and updated technology is capable to
enhance production and productivity in a cost-effective way.
By using the new pattern of crop rotation, the
jute cultivating land could be used to grow paddy. Farmers support is very
essential in this regard, speakers said.

Rice Crop
Damaged by Floods
At least 17,571 hectares of rice
fields were affected by the recent floods – of which about 3,186 hectares were
severely damaged, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries (MAFF) yesterday, which urged all provincial agriculture departments
to immediately evaluate the affects from the floods and make amends to ensure
food safety.The MAFF issued the circular yesterday on the
restoration of crop damage during the rainy season and reported that the
current rice-growing season has utilized nearly 2.6 million hectares, exceeding
the ministry’s target of about 2.5 million hectares earlier this year.
“Although the drought happened from mid-July until early
September, it was not severe,” said the circular. “In the short term, natural
climatic episodes can happen at any time and cannot be foreseen, especially
floods.“For food safety sustainability and to achieve the rice
production and export goals, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries would like to inform all concerned technical departments and
provincial agricultural departments to manage and control the farming situation
and evaluate affected areas for rehabilitation.”
According to data from the agriculture department in Battambang
province received by Khmer Times yesterday, rice has been cultivated on some
290,296 hectares. About 10,730 hectares were affected by the drought and recent
flooding, with the drought causing far more damage.Heng Sith,
director of the agriculture department’s statistics office, told Khmer Times
yesterday that the department has been keeping an eye on the impact of natural
disasters and kept farmers well informed about prevention.
“The floods haven’t had much impact. Most of the rice fields are
affected by drought but not many by flooding,” Mr. Sith said. “Our officials
here always observe the vulnerable areas and work closely with relevant
authorities and ministries to measure the effects of natural disasters that can
affect our farming.”Banteay Meanchey provincial agriculture
department head Taing Vannaset told Khmer Times last week that only 120
hectares of rice fields in Phnom Srok district had been affected by flooding
while Kampong Speu provincial governor Vy Samnang also said only a small area
of rice fields had been damaged by the floods caused by heavy rain earlier this
month.
“Only 140 hectares of rice fields have been damaged in
Kong Pisei district due to flooding in the last few days,” Mr. Samnang said.
“The authorities are ready to help farmers who lost their rice crop in the
floods by providing them with new crops and other assistance.”The
National Committee of Disaster Management reported late last week that at least
18 provinces have suffered flood damage after heavy rain fell across much of
the country while the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology in its most
recent weather forecast last week, said 22 provinces as well as Phnom Penh were
experiencing heavy rainfall.
Rain is expected to continue in Phnom Penh and Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Siem Reap, Pursat, Preah Vihear, Kampong Thom, Stung Treng, Kratie, Kampong Chhnang, Pailin, Kampong Cham, Tbong Khmum, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Koh Kong, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot, Kep and Takeo provinces.
The MAFF also called on concerned provincial agricultural
departments and technical teams to seek locations that can serve as seeding
areas for when it distributes seed to the farmers once the floodwaters recede
in the upcoming month.

The Jakarta administration, in collaboration with the State Logistics Agency
(Bulog), is ready to distribute 75,000 tons of rice in a bid to ensure food
security as well as stabilizing prices.“Starting from this year until March,
Bulog will support us by providing 75,000 tons of rice,” Jakarta Governor
Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said after the signing ceremony between the
administration and Bulog at City Hall on Tuesday.The distribution of the rice will be handled by city-owned food security company PT Food Station Tjipinang Jaya and city-owned market operator PD Pasar Jaya, he added. Ahok said he also hoped stable prices could prevent the hoarding of rice.
“No vendors will stockpile rice. If they attempt to do so, they will suffer losses,” said Ahok. “[This is] because our funds, stock and distribution network are sufficient.”
Bulog president director Djarot Kusumayakti said Bulog would also provide transportation facilities to support the distribution. “Sufficient stock combined with good distribution mobility is a good synergy that will provide food security for Jakartans,” he said

said in April, shortly after a Chinese man named Mo Hailong pleaded guilty to
sending hybrid corn seeds stolen from Iowa fields back to China.Yan refused to
give the group of Chinese visitors rice seeds they requested because they were
protected, but he did travel with them to a rice farm where he "knew they
would have an opportunity to steal seeds," the Justice Department said in
a statement.Under Yan's plea agreement, he faces up to 20 months in federal

Farmers wait for their paddy to be procured at the grain market in Fazilka on Wednesday. Tribune photo
Our Correspondent
Fazilka, October 26
The purchase of
fine aromatic 1121 variety of basmati paddy has begun in Fazilka grain market
today after a 10-day deadlock between commission agents and rice mill owners
over the schedule of payment.Sources said outsider private traders, exporters
and rice mill owners would have to pay cash payment to commission agents while
the local mill owners would make the payment as per the old schedule on settled
due dates.The market committee sources said nearly 60,000 quintals of paddy had
arrived in the local grain market and its 17 purchase centres so far. Out of
which 12,000 quintal had been sold till today evening.
Bringing some relief to basmati producers, the
prices of basmati has increased to about Rs 500 per quintal as compared to the
previous year during the corresponding period. The PUSA 1121 paddy was selling
at the price of about Rs 1,650 last year during these days, but now its price
has gone up to Rs 2,200 per quintal. The paddy fetched maximum Rs 2,201 per
quintal after the commencement of the purchase today.

Rice farmers urge haste on storage scheme

| WRITER: PHUSADEE
ARUNMAS
A jute sack is being filled with milled rice at a
plant in Chachoengsao province. Millers are urging the government for clear
measures to help tackle falling Hom Mali rice prices. The government is being
urged to speed up the implementation of measures to curb a sharp fall in price
of Thai Hom Mali rice, particularly this year's pledging scheme for farmers
with their own rice barns.Vichai Srinawakul, vice-president of Thai Rice
Millers Association, said they are calling on the government to step up
declaring the exact time frame for the so-called rice barn pledging scheme for
Hom Mali rice so that rice farmers can begin pledging their paddy with the Bank
for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC).
The scheme, once announced, will encourage rice
farmers not to rush in releasing their new harvested to the market."The
government must clarify to rice farmers measures to encourage them to delay
disposing their paddy and give choices to farmers who agree to delay their
disposal," he said.He cited the BAAC's plan to spend about 9.98 billion
baht to pledge the farmers' barn rice at 11,700 baht per tonne plus storage fee
at 1,500 baht a tonne for Hom Mali paddy and glutinous paddy, targeting a
combined 2 million tonnes of paddy.Domestic prices of Thai Hom Mali paddy fell
yesterday to only 9,500 baht per tonne, the lowest in 10 years.
The fall was partially attributed to relatively
low purchase prices set by rice exporters, at only 15,800-16,600 tonnes of
milled rice per tonne. Normally, milled rice fetches a minimum of 20,000 baht a
tonne.Charoen Laothamatas, president of Thai Rice Exporters Association, said
the price fall was mainly because the Hom Mali paddy released this period is
mostly of poor quality, with as much as 30% moisture.In a move to cooperate
with the government in managing domestic rice prices, rice exporters last week
agreed to buy 200,000 tonnes of Hom Mali rice and store it in warehouses during
November and December, the period when new supply from the country's annual
harvest season starts flowing into the market.
The cooperation came shortly after the government
announced a pause in its efforts to dispose of state rice stocks to curb any
adverse impact on domestic prices.Exporters will ask for the government's
financial support in interest rate subsidies and warehousing fees worth a
combined 60 million baht.According to a source from Commerce Ministry, Deputy
Commerce Minister Suvit Maesincee called a meeting with millers yesterday to
inquire into paddy trading development and paddy production so the government
could introduce more measures to handle the impact of the new supply.
