Senior agriculture official warns rice import could
harm production
22.01.2018
The Agriculture Ministry's director general for food crops has
criticized the Trade Ministry’s decision to import rice, as the country
produced enough rice to meet local demand, and stressed that importing the
commodity could disrupt long-term rice production.Food crops director general
Sumarjo Gatot Irianto stressed said on Sunday in Jakarta that he could prove
that Indonesia produced a sufficient amount of rice through satellite images
that showed the rice harvest across the country as well as the dates of the
rice harvest, reported by tempo.co.
Sumarjo also criticized those who questioned the rice production data, saying that his office had valid data.“The question is why the market experienced a shortage in rice when distribution has been smooth and the harvest was huge,” he said.
Sumarjo also criticized those who questioned the rice production data, saying that his office had valid data.“The question is why the market experienced a shortage in rice when distribution has been smooth and the harvest was huge,” he said.
He suspected that the rice supply chain was disrupted, and that relevant parties in the government should find a better solution for easing the price hike rather than simply importing the commodity.Sumarjo said that importing rice as a solution would disrupt long-term rice production, as it discouraged farmers from producing the commodity. “Don’t introduce a solution for a short-term problem that will disrupt the agricultural production system,” he added.The government decided on Jan. 11 to import 500,000 tons of rice through the Trade Ministry, in an effort to ease increasing rice prices that had exceeded the government's ceiling prices since last month.

State Logistic Agency to
Auction Rice Import
By : Leo Jegho
For 15 years between 2000 and 2015, Indonesia had been importing rice.

Jakarta, GIVnews.com – The State Logistics Agency (Bulog), which deals with food
distribution and price control, will soon auction the importation of 500,000
tons of medium-grade rice by private firms. So far, Bulog has been the only
importer of rice bought with state funds.
The rice to be imported will
originate from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Pakistan. It will arrive at
Indonesian ports by the end this month, including Tanjung Priok (Jakarta),
Bitung (North Sulawesi), Batam (Riau) and Medan (North Sumatra). This is
according to a report by Kompas daily.
For 15 years between 2000 and 2015, Indonesia had been importing
rice. Although there was no rice import in the 2016-2017 period, the government
had never decided to stop import the commodity.
Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukita recently shared that prices
in Indonesia had continued rising since late last year due to a supply
shortage.
President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo,
who rose to the presidency in late 2014, said the planned rice import was aimed
to prevent rice prices from increasing and guarantee adequate stocks of the
commodity. Medium-grade rice is widely consumed in Indonesia.
Rice is a major staple food for
Indonesians and is the biggest contributor to the country’s inflation. The
government’s decision to import rice early this year had sparked a public
debate. Reportedly, the decision had been based on the Ministry of Trade’s
calculations, which was against the Ministry of Agriculture’s argument that
Indonesia would have adequate rice stocks this year so that rice import was not
necessary. In fact, In the past years, the two ministries had often differed
over food supply data.
In addition to Thailand, Vietnam,
Myanmar, and Pakistan, Indonesia has also imported rice from other countries
like India and Myanmar.
Ancient rice heralds a new future
for rice production
January 22,
2018, University of Queensland
Wild rice growing in northern
Australia's crocodile-infested waters could help boost global food security,
say University of Queensland researchers who have mapped its genetic family
tree.
Valuable traits from the wild rice
- such as drought tolerance and pest and disease resistance - can be bred into
commercial rice strains, said Professor Robert Henry from the Queensland
Alliance of Agriculture and Food Innovation.
"Northern Australia's wild
rices contain a wealth of untapped genetic diversity and at least two species
are very closely related to domesticated
rice, so they can be cross-bred with this species," he said.
"Wild Australian rice genes
could make commercial rice production better suited to northern Australian
conditions."The wild rices could contribute resistance to diseases such as
rice blast, brown spot and bacterial leaf spots."
Professor Henry said the research
showed that in the era when the ancient human ancestor known as Lucy lived in
Africa, a genetic divergence occurred in the rice variety that is now found
only in northern Australia.
This divergence led to the Asian
and African rice species commonly used in commercial rice production
today.Professor Henry said that in addition to boosting global rice production,
Australian wild rice offered the opportunity to be cultivated as a tasty and
nutritious product in its own right.
"It tastes good and we believe
it may have more beneficial health qualities than other rice
species," he said.
A UQ doctoral thesis study on the
grain quality of Australian wild rice showed the species had the
lowest "hardness" of cooked rices, and a higher amylose starch
content.

Australia's wild rice growing in crocodile infested billabongs in
the remote North of the country has been confirmed as the most closely related
to the ancient ancestor of all rices. The unique genetics of the Australian rice
offer opportunities to
"The higher the amylose
content, the longer the rice takes to digest," Professor Henry said.
"This potentially offers more
nutrition to our gut microbes, in the same way high-fibre foods do."
He noted that human trials were
needed to confirm the health benefits but the chemistry suggested this was the
case.
Rice is the most widely consumed
staple food for much of the world's population and it is the third-largest
worldwide agricultural crop.

Professor Henry said the study
provided a comprehensive insight into the rice family tree, and confirmed that
wild Australian rice was the most directly related species to the ancient
ancestor of all rices.
"Through this research, we've
developed a calibrated DNA-based molecular clock that maps when divergences in
the rice genome have occurred," Professor Henry said.
"Few biological systems are as
well described as rice now is."
The paper detailing outcomes of the
research into the genomes of domesticated and wild rice species is
published in Nature Genetics.

China’s GMO Rice Gets Approval Abroad, But Not at
Home
Researchers hope green light from American FDA
will cause central authorities to reconsider their cautious approach to
genetically modified crops.
Wang Yiwei
Jan 22, 2018
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared a genetically modified strain
of rice to be commercially viable, but the Chinese researchers who developed it
say large-scale production is not yet possible due to a lack of policy at home.
In a
Jan. 11 email to Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, capital of central
Hubei province, the FDA said that Huahui No. 1, a strain of rice genetically
engineered by scientists at the university to resist pests, “does not raise
issues that would require premarket review of approval by the FDA,” according
to a Monday report by state
media outlet Science and Technology Daily. The FDA’s announcement was
also published on its
official website.
To the
researchers, this a huge step — but only in theory. “It means that we could now
sell this strain of rice on the U.S. market,” Lin Yongjun, a member of the
Huazhong Agricultural University research team, told Sixth Tone. But Lin
explained that for now at least, the plants cannot be sold to the U.S. because
production is impossible in China.
As the
world’s largest producer and consumer of rice, China encourages experimentation
and innovation when it comes to developing hybrid varieties but blocks
commercialization of genetically modified strains. According to Lin, the point
of applying for recognition from the FDA is to encourage regulators in China to
reconsider policy.
At
present, Lin said, large-scale production of such strains is not allowed
without the Ministry of Agriculture’s express approval — which it has never
given. “There is no way for genetically engineered crops to pass cultivation
trials,” he said, explaining that this is a necessary step to receiving a
production certificate, according to regulations that went into effect in
2001. In comparison, the U.S. does not have such a process for approving the
production of genetically altered crops.
Lin and
his colleagues developed Huaihui No. 1 in the late 1990s. In 2009, the
agriculture ministry granted the strain a “biological safety” certificate,
which it renewed in 2015.
But without passing trials, large-scale cultivation remains out of reach.
The
perceived safety of genetically modified food has long been a heated issue in
China, where public opinion remains bitterly divided. Yuan Longping, the
country’s revered “father of hybrid rice,” said during a 2016 interview that
researchers should be wary of endorsing crops altered to resist pests, as they
could also pose a danger to humans. In a safety report submitted
to the government, however, the Huahai No. 1 research team assured the
authorities that while its strain is a deterrent to insects, it has no adverse
effect on birds or mammals.
In 2014,
the government of Wuhan, capital of central Hubei province, destroyed 10
hectares of genetically modified rice fields following orders from the central
government to conduct an inspection. Some of these specimens were said to have
come from a “leaked” sub-strain of Huaihui No. 1, according to an official publication of
the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
China’s
cautious approach to genetic food technology is mirrored by other Asian
countries, with Japan being one notable exception: The country planted its first
paddy of genetically modified rice in May of last year.As for commercial
viability of Huaihui No. 1 in foreign markets, the U.S. still wouldn’t be an
ideal choice, Lin said, as the soil and climate are unsuitable. Yet he and his
colleagues thought FDA recognition was a goal worth pursuing anyway.
“Our
hope is that this recognition from abroad can help pave way the way for more
open policies in China,” he said.

Chinese GM rice approved by US FDA
China Daily, January 23, 2018
A type of genetically modified rice bred in China has passed
safety inspections by the United States Food and Drug Administration, paving
the way for it to be exported to the country, a university in China said.
The insect-resistant rice, Huahui 1, passed inspections on safety
and nutrition by the FDA, Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei
province, said in a statement on Sunday. The university received the
notification on Saturday, it said.
Previously, the rice had passed safety inspections by the US
Environmental Protection Agency on pesticide residue levels, the university
said."Having passed safety inspections by the FDA and EPA, Huahui 1 and
its products are able to be exported to the US for consumption," the
statement said. "It suggests safety evaluations by Chinese testing
institutes of Huahui 1 have been fully recognized by institutes in the
US."
Huahui 1 was successfully bred by the university in 1998 and was
awarded with a biosafety certificate by China's Ministry of Agriculture in
2009, following safety evaluations that lasted for nearly 10 years, according
to the university.
The species can effectively resist insects such as larva, and can
greatly reduce the use of pesticides during production, the university said.The
university has been seeking safety evaluations for the rice overseas to make
preparations for export of China's insect-resistant GM rice, it said.
GM rice is not likely to win approval from agricultural
authorities in China for large-scale production in the next few years, so
researchers in the university looked to the US for commercial use of the
product, according to a report by the Science and Technology Daily.
Of all major agricultural products in China, only GM cotton has
been grown on a large scale in China, according to Wan Jianmin, a member of the
Chinese Academy of Engineering.
More than 150 types of insect-resistant GM cotton have been
cultivated in China since 2008－planted in 28.6 million hectares－which helped cut the use of
pesticides by 60 percent, he told Science and Technology Daily.
China has the world's most strict safety evaluation system for GM
products, and all GM products that have passed inspections by the authorities
in China are safe, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
The ministry will further encourage GM research and development,
and promote industrial-scale production of major GM agricultural products such
as insect-resistant cotton and corn, the ministry said.
Farmers stage rally against planned rice imports

Pati,
C Java (ANTARA News) - Hundreds of farmers in Sukolilo sub-district, Pati
district, Central Java, staged a rally on Monday to protest against the
government`s plan to import rice, stating that it will lower local rice prices.
The farmers who staged the rally in Pati Square carried posters, which read "What is behind the rice import? Farmers in Sukolilo sub-district reject the rice import. Let us reject together the policy, which causes misery to farmers."
"We are extremely worried if the plan to import rice is realized, as we are entering the harvest season," one of the demonstrator, Sukardi, noted.
He added that the government should support farmers because it aims to create self-reliance in rice production.
The plan to import rice may cause psychological pressure to middlemen, and they may lower the selling price of farmers` unhusked rice, he revealed.
Without
rice import, the selling price of unhusked rice will automatically fall due to
the harvest season, he explained. Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo
stated on Saturday (Jan 20) that the province needs no imported rice, as the
harvest season is expected soon.
"We do not need imported rice. Give it to the other regions that need it," Pranowo remarked, during his impromptu visit to the Legi Market in Solo, Central Java.To ensure that imported rice will not enter Central Java, the provincial government will supervise all ports and entry points in the province, he noted.
The step should be taken to avoid a slump in the price of the commodity, as the province will enter the harvest season soon, he explained."We will soon enter the harvest season. Some farmers in Grobogan District have harvested their rice fields and so have those in the districts of Kudus and Sragen. The harvest season has begun (in several parts of the province). The National Logistics Agency (Bulog) is ready to buy unhusked rice from the farmers," he revealed.
During a work visit to Tegal District, Central Java, on Jan 15, President Joko Widodo had spoken of a plan to import 500 thousand tons of rice to strengthen the nation`s stocks.

Unifying brand
name unveiled as Rice Federation addresses its flaws
Cheng Sokhorng | Publication date 22 January 2018
| 19:02 ICT
Rice on display at Phnom Penh’s Sofitel Hotel today, where the
Cambodia Rice Federation announced a new “Malys Angkor” brand for four species
of Cambodian fragrant rice. Hong Menea
The Cambodia Rice Federation
(CRF) today announced a new “Malys Angkor” brand to be used as the official
moniker for four species of Cambodian fragrant rice.
The first day of the two-day
Cambodia Rice Forum also featured the release of a remarkably frank report on
the industry group’s internal issues, which acknowledges that the CRF’s
numerous flaws are currently preventing it from acting as a proper
representative of the country’s rice sector.
Sok Puthyvuth, president of the
CRF and son-in-law of Prime Minister Hun Sen, lauded the branding effort at the
launch of the forum at Phnom Penh’s Sofitel Hotel today.
“The rice branding is the key for
reaching the sustainable markets,” Puthyvuth said. “The branding will…ensure
the quality and origin of premium and fragrant rice from Cambodia for international
consumers.”
The Angkor Malys label can now be
applied to the Phka Rumduol, Phka Romeat, Phka Rumdeng and Somali species of
fragrant rice, while the remaining four types may be added in the future,
according to CRF secretary-general Moul Sarith.
Khy Muny, general manager of rice
miller AMRU Rice (Cambodia), welcomed the branding effort, noting that the
industry had been waiting since 2010 for a unified label.
“This name will stop all
conflicts and confusion, as the name is the identification for where our rice
is from,” Muny said. “It supports the consumer by making it easier to come back
to us.”
Nil Sopheap, president of
Federation of Cambodian Farmer Organization for Development, also expressed
hope that the branding would lead to more exports and boost demand for
Cambodian rice.
“Rice branding will promote the
demand of rice, which will cause more demand from farmers, which will increase
our profits,” he said.
The Malys Angkor branding push is
part of the CRF’s long-term goal to promote the country’s rice sector, but
those efforts are being hampered by significant internal problems, according to
the group’s “Strategic Plan 2017-2021”.
“Current assessments suggest that
there are many challenges facing the CRF,” the report says, noting that board
members appear to have “commitment discipline issues” and that many board
members only attend meetings “when the meeting is about their interests”.
Other complaints include farmers
being pushed aside in favor of millers and traders, as well as more wealthy or
connected members having greater access to the CRF’s services and attention
than regular members.
Money also appears to be a
problem, as “lack of sufficient financing” and few technical experts results in
the CRF lacking a way of “sustainably handling requests from of [sic] members
of the rice sector.”
In addition, board decisions
“often remain unimplemented”, and a new scheme to increase local-level
monitoring of the rice sector by placing CRF representatives in various zones
around the country may run into trouble because “the CRF appears to not possess
all the requirements” to implement the program.
Despite those challenges, the
strategic plan includes a variety of measures the group hopes will boost rice
productivity, including the mechanisation and modernisation of farming
practices.
“Agro-modernization will help to
reduce the expense and cost of production, and strengthen the trust within the
production chain,” Puthyvuth said at the forum. “We are starting to increase
the awareness of modernisation, strengthen the farming cooperatives and
networking in order to get funds to modernise.”
Sopheap of the farmer’s
organisation said that was sound policy, but urged patience and additional
assistance from authorities.
“It is good policy to promote
modernised farming, but the awareness of farmers is still limited,” he said. “I
think it needs time, and needs a lot of financial support from government to
push this to happen.”

Water is limiting factor for
south Texas rice
South
Texas rice production competes for water with business, metropolitan uses.
Texas rice production has not
approached base acreage—600,000 acres—for many years, with typical plantings
running around 160,000 acres, says farmer and crop consultant Cliff Mock, Alvin,
Texas.
Competition for water, Mock said
during a presentation at the recent National Conservation Systems Cotton and
Rice Conference in Memphis, is a limiting factor. “We have competition for
irrigation and ground water,” he says. “Every day Texas requires 58 million
more gallons of water for industry and metropolitan use.”
Water is also expensive, costing
from $30 to $55 per acre. He says a lot of producers in the south Texas
rice production area are drilling wells to supplement or replace reliance on
surface water that may be limited by upstream users, especially during drought.
Subsidence districts, he says, dictate where, when and how landowners can drill
wells.Rice requires water, he says. “We need 1.5 to 2.5 acre feet of water to
makea main crop of rice,” he explains. “We need another 1 to 1.5 acre feet to
make a second (ratoon) crop.” Typical production practice for Texas rice is
planting in late February or early March into a stale seedbed. “We expect
emergence in 7 to 10 days, and 25 days until we flood. We may push flood date a
bit to conserve water, and we like to delay flooding on hybrid rice. Hybrids
can handle that and it seems to tiller a little better with a later flood.”
We plant mostly hybrid varieties,
he says. “They have to be managed properly to do well.”
He adds that the ratoon crop is
an important aspect of south Texas rice. “Our main crop Is not profitable at
current prices. The ratoon crop is an advantage and growers place heavy
emphasis on the second crop.”
He explains that the production
costs for the main crop run to $1,000 per acre, “in and out. The ratoon crop
production cost is $225 per acre, in and out.”
Growers expect 8,000 pounds per
acre dry weight on the main crop with conventional varieties, 4,000 pounds on
the ratoon crop. Production with hybrid varieties increases to 9,000 pounds
from the main crop but remains at 4,000 from the ratoon production.
“Flooding is necessary for the
ratoon crop to prevent volunteer rice,” Mock says. Producers may double up on
fertility rates to make the second crop.
Conservation is Crucial
Mock says water conservation is a
crucial issue with rice production, and water use monitoring is helping improve
irrigation efficiency. A metering program, using a volumetric probe, helps
producers assess water use. A probe is inserted into a pipe going to the field.
“The probe reads the water going into the pipe and transmits the information to
a website. After a 15-minute delay, growers can determine gallons per minute
going into the fields.”
He says a Texas Water Development
Board grant of $250,000 helps fund the metering program. “The probes cost
$5,000 apiece.”
Estimates of water use before the
metering program began have shown rice farmers using from five to six acre
feet, assumptions that were way off. “The meters are helping us know what
we’re doing and helping us manage water better,” Mock says. “We can document
it.”
He says the metering program
started with only a few meters and was phased in. “Growers have accepted it
well and find that the program helps them regulate and manage water use.”
Harvey Damage
He says the 2017 season brought
different water problems. “Hurricane Harvey dropped 55 inches of rain,” he
says. “We had a good crop going, but rice not already harvested was under water
for an extended period of time.”
Mo Way, Texas A&M
entomologist at the AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Beaumont, says 20
percent of the main crop remained in the field when Harvey hit. The ratoon crop
was hit hard.
“It hammered our second crop,”
Mock says. “We had nothing left to harvest where rice was under water.” Way
says the hurricane dumped enough water on south Texas to fill Lake Tahoe.
Way adds that questions lingered
for weeks after the storm regarding whether the crop could be marketed at all
because of potential storm water contamination. “The FDA was concerned about
contaminates in rice that went under water,” he says. “Potential for heavy
metal, mycotoxin, pesticide, fuel and other pathogen contamination put
marketing on hold,” he says.
“The state chemist analyzed rice
for contaminates. If not ‘adulterated’ rice could be harvested, stored and
sold; mills would not accept adulterated rice. This created a lot of concern
and delayed or terminated harvest.”
Organic production was in
jeopardy because of widespread mosquito control sprays initiated to prevent
Zika and West Nile Virus outbreaks. Producers were concerned that they lose
organic certification. “Organic rice growers were eventually able to sell the
crop,” Way says. And the land retained its organic certification.
Mock says rice producers are
conscious of conservation and understand both the economic and environmental
reasons to use water efficiently. Most producers are using conservation tillage
methods. “Less than 5 percent of the area is now in conventional tillage,” he
says. Typical practice includes a burndown herbicide treatment, a pre-emergence
herbicide, fertilize and plant. He adds that producers used to plant
earlier but have delayed to conserve moisture.
He anticipates producers will
increase rice acreage in 2018. “I don’t know how much, maybe 10 percent to 15
percent,” he says “Organic rice, however, will be down big.”
Seasonal Ban on Rice Imports to
Be Lifted on Sunday
The Ministry of Agriculture has allowed rice
importers to register orders from Jan. 21 until June 21. The permission was
communicated by Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati in a letter to Minister of
Industries, Mining and Trade Mohammad Shariatmadari, IRNA reported on Friday.
According to the letter, the order
registrations will be valid for a three-month period and are extendable by a
further one month. Hojjati noted that any rice shipments as per the new orders
need to be cleared through Iranian customs by July 22, after which all imports
will be banned. Every year and during the rice harvest season, the government
bans rice imports in support of local farmers and domestic production. Iranians
consume 3.2 million tons of rice a year while domestic production stands at 2.2
million tons. Basmati rice prices are seen rising in the international market
with Iran likely to begin import of the cereal soon, Indian newspaper The
Economic Times reported on its website.
Rice
exporters, who are already getting 20% higher price for basmati compared with
last year, said Iran could start import as early as next week. “The
announcement by Iran is expected soon as the trade was opened by this time last
year,” said Vijay Setia, president of All-India Rice Exporters Association.
“The delay is due to the extended domestic rice season in Iran.” India exports
about 4 million tons of basmati rice every year to more than 100 countries, of
which Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Kuwait, the US and the UK are the main
buyers. The revival in price of basmati in the international market follows a
lean cropping season in India. Farmers had shrunk the area under basmati due to
a fall in the domestic price of the commodity.
Usually, demand and price of basmati increase
around this time of the year, when Iran starts importing the commodity after
the close of its domestic rice season. Last year, Iran had announced the import
of basmati in the second week of January. This time the announcement is coming
at a time when international basmati prices are already strong. “We are
expecting a formal announcement by Iran on January 22 on permission for import
of basmati,” AIREA Executive Director Rajen Sudershan told the Indian daily,
adding that in the international market, basmati is available for $900-1,150 a
ton—15-20% higher than a year ago.
This year, basmati prices are firm mainly due
to lower harvest in India and higher cost of raw paddy in states like Punjab
and Haryana. Setia said basmati output this season is lower by 10%. According
to exporters, the spike in basmati price is also in part due to the rise in
crude oil price, which has strengthened the Persian Gulf economies. Ashok
Sethi, former president of Punjab Rice Millers and Exporters Association, said
international basmati prices are being indirectly buttressed by increase in
crude oil prices. Basmati prices were subdued in the previous two years.
“A lower harvest may not affect the volumes in
the export market,” said AK Gupta, director of Basmati Export Development
Foundation, an arm of Agricultural & Processed Foods Export Development
Authority. “Basmati exports could witness slight rise this year due to steady
global demand and higher carryover stock from the previous season,” Gupta said.

Annual rice forum kicks off
The
annual rice forum starts in Phnom Penh today, bringing together farmers,
businesses and researchers for a two-day event that seeks to find solutions to
some of the sector’s most pressing questions. Bolstering local production,
researching and developing new rice varieties and expanding the market for
Cambodian rice abroad will be some of the most important topics on the event’s
agenda. “The most important issues will be meeting the demands of foreign
markets.
We have
to change our ways and switch to high-yielding varieties,” said Mr Hun Lak,
vice president of the Cambodia Rice Federation, the event’s organiser. The
forum will feature presentations from rice-producing communities, rice millers,
processing factories and exporters, according to Mr Lak. The first rice forum
took place in 2012. Since then, the sector has come a long way, said Mr Lak.
“When we started with these forums, our exports were minimal and very few
countries knew about us. However, with each successive forum, we see how more
and more countries are aware of Cambodian rice and are buying our products. “In
the last two years, exports of Cambodian milled rice have increased
significantly.
In 2018, we expect a stable increase in our
share of the international market. “On top of this, the price of rice continues
to be good, with farmers happy because they are selling all the rice they
produce at a good price,” Mr Lak said. Chan Sokheang, chairman of rice
exporting company Signature of Asia, said that the increase in the popularity
of Cambodian rice abroad was the result of the hard work of authorities and
businesses in the sector. “In the last two years, we have seen a lot of
progress. Orders of Cambodian rice abroad have increased substantially, and
local output has also risen,” Mr Sokheang said, adding that the forum is
playing a key role in promoting Cambodian rice beyond the kingdom’s borders.
During the event, rewards for Best National
Rice will be handed out in three categories: premium aromatic rice, fragrant
rice, and long grain white rice. Malys Angkor, the first brand name of
Cambodian premium rice, will be formally launched during the event. “It is great
news to have a formal brand name. We have to promote it intensely to increase
the popularity of Cambodian rice abroad,” Mr Sokheang said. In 2017, Cambodia
exported 635,679 tonnes of milled rice to international markets, an increase of
17.3 percent year-on-year.

Senior
agriculture official warns rice import could harm production
News Desk,The
Jakarta Post
Jakarta | Mon, January 22, 2018 | 01:16 pm
The Agriculture Ministry's director general for
food crops has criticized the Trade Ministry’s decision to import rice, as the
country produced enough rice to meet local demand, and stressed that
importing the commodity could disrupt long-term rice production.
Food crops director general Sumarjo Gatot
Irianto stressed said on Sunday in Jakarta that he could prove that Indonesia
produced a sufficient amount of rice through satellite images that showed the
rice harvest across the country as well as the dates of the rice
harvest, reported by tempo.co.
Sumarjo also criticized those who questioned
the rice production data, saying that his office had valid data.
“The question is why the market
experienced a shortage in rice when distribution has been smooth and the
harvest was huge,” he said.
He suspected that the rice supply chain
was disrupted, and that relevant parties in the government should
find a better solution for easing the price hike rather than simply
importing the commodity.
Sumarjo said that importing rice as a solution
would disrupt long-term rice production, as it discouraged farmers from
producing the commodity. “Don’t introduce a solution for a short-term
problem that will disrupt the agricultural production system,” he
added.
The government decided on Jan. 11 to
import 500,000 tons of rice through the Trade Ministry, in an effort to
ease increasing rice prices that had exceeded the government's ceiling
prices since last month. (bbn)

Q1 rice output up 5.7% to 4.67M tons
January 23, 2018
Unmilled rice output in the
Philippines, one of the world’s biggest buyers of the grain, is forecast to
increase 5.7 percent in the first quarter because of improved yields and
increased harvest area, the state statistics agency said yesterday.The
Philippine Statistics Authority said production in January to March will
probably hit 4.67 million tons, based on standing crop, compared with 4.42
million tons harvested in the same period last year.A record-high rice harvest
last year of 19.28 million tons helped boost growth of the Southeast Asian
nation’s agriculture sector, thanks largely to favorable weather.The country’s
state grains procurement agency plans to import 250,000 tons of rice as soon as
possible to boost thinning stockpiles, and the prospective deal has already

CAIRO
– 20 January 2018: The Supply Ministry has denied any increase in the price of
rice at government outlets following claims by some traders that rice prices
increased by LE 200 per ton, the cabinet’s Information and Decision Support
Center (IDSC) said Saturday.
The ministry said that there was no increase in the price of rice at any government outlet across Egypt, saying that the price is stable at LE 6.5 per kilogram.
It added that it supplies around 50,000 tons of rice a month to the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC) at a price of LE 6,100 per ton.
The ministry further said that strategic reserves of rice are at a safe level and that it follows up on the governorates’ needs of food staples and pumps enough quantities of goods to meet local demand.
Egypt increased its production of rice last year and worked on increasing its strategic rice reserves.
In December, Supply Ministry spokesman Mamdouh Ramadan said that Egypt has enough locally produced rice to feed demand for the next 12 months.

Indian Basmati rice exporters negotiates mega deals
with gulf countries
New Delhi, Jan 20 (UNI) Indian exporters have negotiated mega
deals that will boost shipment of Indian basmati and non-basmati rice to Gulf
countries like Oman, Iraq, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
According to Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) Chairman Mohit Singla, “Pakistan is one of the biggest exporter of rice to Oman Sovereign Public Food Reserve at 1.8 lakh ton, while India’s share is just 20,000 ton. But in 2018 India’s share will jump to 50,000 ton.”
In a press release he said that Oman’s public food stockholding company has decided to buy basmati rice from Indian companies, which will include ‘1121’ premium variety of basmati rice developed in India in their official list of tender items.
“This is one of the major achievements of Indus Food – the two-day international food and beverage expo which concluded at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida on Friday. Indian exporters were able to get orders worth over 500 million dollar during the event, while business negotiations with potential to generate food exports worth 2 billion dollar were initiated at Indus Food,” he said.
Mr Singla said at more than 5,300 B2B meetings that took place at Indus Food which got massive response from foreign buyers as well as India exporters and supplier. As a result, more than 15 countries have already expressed desire to participate in the next edition of Indus Food. At least 50 global retail chains were at Indus Food to look for potential suppliers from India.
He added that global market of Indian ethnic food is growing at fast pace so all major global food retailers were here to source Indian ethnic food. Indus Food saw 18 bilateral meeting taking place between India officials and their foreign counterparts.
Jointly organized by Ministry of Commerce and Industry and TPCI, Indus Food saw participation from almost 400 exhibitors, including representations from over 12 states and Departments, and global buyers from 43 nations.
Mr. Singla also said other highlights of Indus Food include Qatar reporting 123 million dollar business negotiations, while an MoU was signed by a Saudi Arabian company to buy soyabean oil meal (animal feed) and fish feed worth 50 million dollar from India.
Similarly, in a first-of-its-kind initiative, Iraq’s Grain Board has decided to float an open tender to buy up to 1-lakh tons of non-basmati rice from India along with acceptance to buy wheat from the government companies, he said.
“Indus Food will also help in finding new market for Indian tea. For instance, Indian Tea Association has signed an MoU with its Malaysian counterpart to supply premium quality Indian tea across various price range to Malaysia which is a tea-drinking country. Till now China had dominant market share in Malaysian tea market, but now Indian tea will soon flood the Malaysian market. Similarly, for the first time Iraq and Syria will have direct supplies of Indian tea,” said Mr Singla.

Bayer launches new rice hybrid seed Arize AZ 8433 DT
By Jayashree Bhosale,, ET Bureau|Jan 22, 2018, 06.25 PM IST
Bayer has been working closely with rice farmers to improve rice
yields and quality through its innovative hybrid seeds, crop protection
products and integrated crop management solutions,
PUNE: Bayer has launched a first-of-its-kind hybrid rice seed,
Arize AZ 8433 DT with strong inbuilt tolerance to Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and
Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB). BPH is the most destructive pest in rice growing areas
of India and caused huge losses to farmers in the 2017 kharif season.
"Though there are many chemical solutions available to
control BPH, these have not been able to control the insect effectively in
cases of medium to heavy infestation. The usual practice is to spray when the
insect build-up has already happened. As an alternative approach, Bayer has
developed hybrid seeds, where pest tolerance has been achieved in the seed
through innovative technologies based on marker-assisted breeding. The result
is Arize AZ 8433 DT," a company release stated.
"Rice is a staple food crop for majority of India and a key
focus crop for Bayer's Crop Science business in India. Bayer has been working
closely with rice farmers to improve rice yields and quality through its
innovative hybrid seeds, crop protection products and integrated crop
management solutions," says Peter Mueller, Head of the Crop Science
division at Bayer South Asia. "The introduction of Arize AZ 8433 DT is
another step towards improving rice productivity in India. Since its launch,
the cultivation of Arize AZ 8433 DT has expanded to more than 10,000 acres in
major rice growing belts of the country," adds Peter Mueller.
In the event of a BPH and BLB attack, Arize AZ 8433 DT from Bayer
offers a yield advantage of upto 20 to 30 percent over other susceptible
open-pollinated varieties (OPVs), where yield losses could be upto 100 percent.
Besides superior yield attributes, another advantage of cultivating Arize AZ
8433 DT includes a significant saving on pesticide application.
A single round of spraying pesticides costs Rs. 500-600 per acre.
Even with moderate infestation, rice farmers spray three to four times,
depending on the incidence of BPH. With Arize AZ 8433 DT, farmers are advised
to scout their fields periodically and go for one spray, only if the BPH count
exceeds economic threshold levels, or if hopper burn damage is observed in
adjoining fields. However, farmers will have to use pesticides for other pests
such as Whitebacked Plant Hopper (WBPH) and Stem Borer etc.
India asks Germany to help relax
new EU rice import rule
PTI|
Jan 22, 2018, 04.28 PM IST
India,
the world's largest producer of the aromatic grain, has made several
representations to some European countries, to convince them on the need to
relax the rules.
He also highlighted that the EU was not accepting the digital phytosanitary certificates.
"The German minister, in response, conveyed his admiration for India's advance on digitalisation of the certificate and assured to personally take up the matter with the EU authority concerned," the statement added. Sekhawat had led an Indian delegation to 10th Global Forum for Food and Agriculture that concluded on January 20. He also met Agriculture ministers from three countries - Germany, Argentina and Uzbekistan. With his Uzbekistan counterpart Zoir Mirzaev, Sekhawat talked about trade opportunity in moong beans besides cooperation in areas such as farm machinery, skill development and crop residue management.
With Argentinian Minister of Agriculture Luis Miguel Etchevehere, Sekhawat discussed various areas of mutual interest including trade in agriculture products such as fruits, vegetables and meat.
India also conveyed its interest in Argentina's farm mechanisation and sought collaboration to such technologies to suit Indian conditions, and obtain technology for manufacturing silo bag to reduce storage losses, the statement added. At the 10th Global Forum for Food and Agriculture, Sekhawat stressed the actions taken by India to mitigate the effect of climate change, both in animal and crop sector. He also called upon the developed countries to abide by the principles of equity but common and differentiated responsibilities towards tackling climate change. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/foreign-trade/india-asks-germany-to-help-relax-new-eu-rice-import-rule/articleshow/62604512.cms
