This article first appeared in The Edge Financial Daily, on July 5, 2018.SHAH ALAM: Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), the country’s sole rice importer controlled by businessman Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, said there can be no guarantees that prices of rice will fall when the domestic rice market is liberalised.
“Local and imported rice are currently under price control. I don’t see how a price that is [already] controlled can go lower unless something changes along the supply chain from the paddy to the miller and the wholesaler,” its chief executive officer (CEO) Ismail Mohamed Yusoff told a news conference yesterday.
“About 60% of the rice that we consume in the country at the moment are produced by local farmers and the prices of local rice are controlled. The current policy also states that prices of imported white rice, which account for about 30% of the country’s rice consumption, cannot be cheaper than local rice prices,” he noted.
Currently, the controlled price of paddy is RM1,200 per tonne, SST5% local white rice is RM2.60 per kg and the price of imported white rice is between RM2.80 and RM3.20 per kg.
On June 6, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub was reported as saying that the cabinet had agreed to end Bernas’ long-standing monopoly to import rice into the country.
Salahuddin said the ending of Bernas’ monopoly can bring down and keep prices of the staple under control as it will lead to a more open market and healthy competition.
Ismail said, however, Bernas wants the government to ensure that the welfare of farmers will continue to be prioritised and the supply and availability of rice to consumers remain at stable and affordable prices.
On its impact on the group’s revenue, he said: “No, I cannot speculate on the immediate impact on Bernas from this move. We have a contract with the government that will last us until 2021 and I see Bernas as the only party that can meet several of these [social] obligations for now.”
He pointed to Bernas’ existing single gatekeeper mechanism, where in addition to safeguarding food security, it also maintains the quality of local paddy harvest through grading processes, as well as that of imported rice through quality surveyors.
“The single gatekeeper mechanism is for the benefits of farmers, consumers and for the food security of the nation, and that’s always the pillars of the paddy and rice industry.
“At the moment, all [the social obligations] are still intact and if there are any changes or if you (the government) take out one element from the single gatekeeper mechanism, which we have been practising for 45 years. You have to come out with a holistic approach to address the issue,” he said.
Privatised in 2014, Bernas’ pre-tax profit grew 2.6% to RM133.39 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2016 (FY16) from RM130.05 million in FY15, while revenue rose 2.8% to RM4.34 billion from RM4.23 billion.








Time to be a maverick?

  BR RESEARCH


As an oil producing country, Iran enjoys a significant trade surplus which peaked at over $81 billion in 2012 and was less than half that in 20 16. Among countries that are top trading partners of Iran are China, South Korea, India, Japan, and Turkey that have continued to import oil over the last two decades and further back, despite US sanctions.After Trump’s latest announcements regarding sanctions, India is being pressured to cut Iranian oil use. Throughout sanctions, India continued to import oil through its pseudo-barter system that exchanged rice for oil. India however is allowed to continue to invest in Chabahar port as it is in US’s interest to have an alternate means to access Afghanistan while by-passing Pakistan.
Sources inform that because of the confusion surrounding US sanctions, what form they will take and when, companies in Iran are already struggling. While some European companies doing business in Iran have gone ahead with cash payments through intermediaries, others have stopped replying even to emails. The threat of losing business in America is too big to try to salvage the Iranian market. On the flip side, China, Russia and come Central Asian countries have exploited the shift in US foreign policy to set up friendlier trade ties.
Admittedly, Pakistan is afraid to upset the apple cart with justifiable reasons. The country has been grey-listed on the FATF list, the IMF program looms ahead due to the current account deficit, and US is the top export destination for Pakistan’s textiles. Going ahead against sanctions may appear to be too risky a play here.
But there is another side of this story as well. Pakistan’s oil import bill has been soaring with petrol prices climbing higher and hitting the common man. This has reportedly resulted in a surge in smuggled Iranian oil. On the other hand, Iran has a huge basmati rice market which is largely serviced by India. Since India is in the United States good books while Pakistan is in the doghouse, India will likely bend under US’s pressure making room for Pakistan’s exports.
Sanctions may mean that Iran’s oil is available at more competitive prices that international rates, especially since the Iranian Rial is on a downward spiral. On the other hand, Pakistan’s exports of rice can use a boost. Both ways, Pakistan’s current account would benefit. Trump’s rhetoric of “do more” for Pakistan had belittled the role and the sacrifices that the country has made for what is essentially US’s war. In trying to be an ally, Pakistan has suffered. Situated next to oil rich country with short transit routes has been a benefit that Pakistan has yet to exploit. Maybe it is time to at least consider being a maverick.

Aging Plant Decides Physical Fate of Destructive Insect

Thu, 07/05/2018 - 9:10am
by Amanda Hollenbeck - Associate Editor - @LabEquipment
Biological production of higher levels of glucose in host rice plants may decide the fate of a harmful plant pest, mostly found in Asia, known as Nilaparvata lugens Stål, or the brown planthopper.
Researchers from Washington State University and China Jilian University have discovered the potential for a new tool in fighting the most destructive rice pest via a biological, and unintentional, defense mechanism of older, dying rice plants that affects the insect’s growth.
 “It has been difficult to isolate environmental signals that influence insect morphology and behavior,” Laura Lavine, professor in the Department of Entomology, said. “But it’s not for the brown planthopper. The plant’s glucose level is the signal on whether to stay or to go.”
The rice plant adapts in old age by exuding less nutritional value and higher glucose levels to young insects, ultimately shifting their wing span.
The additional production of glucose in the plant causes the growth of longer wings that alters the structure of their bodies when they are young, a structure that cannot be altered when they become adults.
When the rice plant grows old and loses its benefits, the young insects abandon the area and travel farther to find better sources of food.
This biological mechanism in the older plant alters the choice that the insect must make: If the insect grows longer wings by consuming an older high-glucose rice plant, it can travel to plants at longer distances and move away. If the insect grows shorter wings by consuming a young low-glucose rice plant, it will grow shorter wings and stay nearby to feed on the plant.
According to the researchers, younger plants are better for growing insects since consumption results in shorter wings (better chance of survival due to avoiding far-distance travel) and larger ovaries in females (higher reproduction rates).
In some cases, making the right decision results in life or death.
If the insect makes the wrong decision, such as deciding to move away when it has short wings, or moving away, even with longer wings, to find a better food source, there is a lower chance of survival.
To potentially apply this mechanism to a tool against this destructive insect, a reviewer of the paper suggested injecting glucose into a young brown plant hopper to see if the same results were found in the lab—and they were.
The researchers believe the discovery of the rice plant’s ability to indirectly decide the fate of this insect could act as a tool for fighting the pest by manipulating its wing growth, and forcing it to fly away.
“The results from this study will hopefully allow scientists a new way to figure out how to trick the brown planthopper into developing into the wrong form so that they die before they become pests,” Lavine said.
Simply injecting additional glucose into the brown planthoppers sounds simple enough, and that’s exactly what the researchers thought after having success in the lab.
“They developed long wings just as if they had been feeding on the old plants,” Lavine said. “We were so surprised it was that easy.”
The group’s surprising discovery could lead to a new tool that would not only move these pests away from rice production, but also lessen the threat of global food security and rice sustainability.

Replacing rice, wheat with ‘less thirsty’ crops could help India save water, improve nutrition, says study

Replacing rice and wheat with 'less thirsty' crops could dramatically reduce water demand in India, while also improving nutrition, a study has found.

Replacing rice and wheat with ‘less thirsty’ crops could dramatically reduce water demand in India, while also improving nutrition, a study has found. According to the study published in the journal Science Advances, India will need to feed approximately 394 million more people by 2050, and that is going to be a significant challenge. Nutrient deficiencies are already widespread in India today – 30 per cent or more are anaemic – and many regions are chronically water-stressed, researchers from Columbia University in the US said. Starting in the 1960s, a boom in rice and wheat production helped reduce hunger throughout India.
This Green Revolution also took a  toll on the environment, increasing demands on the water supply, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from fertilisers, researchers said. “If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it is unclear how long we could keep that practice up,” said Kyle Davis from Columbia University. “That is why we are thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals,” said Davis, lead author on the study. The researchers studied six major grains currently grown in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet.
For each crop, they compared yield, water use, and nutritional values such as calories, protein, iron, and zinc. They found that rice is the least water-efficient cereal when it comes to producing nutrients, and that wheat has been the main driver in increasing irrigation stresses. The potential benefits of replacing rice with alternative crops varied widely between different regions, depending on how much the crops could rely on rainfall instead of irrigation.
However, the researchers found that replacing rice with maize, finger millet, pearl millet, or sorghum could reduce irrigation water demand by 33 per cent, while improving production of iron by 27 per cent and zinc by 13 per cent. In some instances, those improvements came with a slight reduction in the number of calories produced, because rice has been bred to have higher yields per unit of land. In some regions there is a tradeoff between water and land use efficiency, but Davis thinks that with more attention from scientists, the alternative crops could develop higher yields as well. For now, rice replacement is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but something that should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for each district, Davis said.
The team, including Ashwini Chhatre from the Indian School of Business, wants to study Indian food preferences, to see if people would be willing to incorporate more of these alternative cereals into their diets. “There are places around India where these crops continue to be consumed in pretty large amounts and there were, even more, a generation or two ago, so it is still within the cultural memory,” Davis said.

India must ditch rice to feed growing population, scientists warn

Conventional crops use too much water and do not provide enough nutrients

India must shift from growing mainly rice and wheat to other crops that are healthier and better for the environment, according to new research.
Current estimates suggest the nation will have to feed nearly 400 million more people by 2050 – a significant undertaking given that it already struggles with widespread malnutrition and lack of water.
The study conducted by an international team of scientists aims to address two key targets of the Indian government – to improve the nation’s nutrition and promote sustainable water use.
Currently, almost a third of India’s population are anaemic, and huge swathes of the country are severely lacking in waster due to heavy extraction for agricultural irrigation and less rain from recent monsoons.
Indian diets are largely based on cereal crops, but the scientists suggest that the currently favoured varieties are contributing to the country’s problems.
"If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it's unclear how long we could keep that practice up," said Dr Kyle Davis, a Columbia University scientist who led the research. "That's why we're thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals."
The research team looked at six grains currently grown in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet.
Man nearly strangled by 18-foot python in India
Their results, published in the journal Science Advances, revealed that rice is the least water efficient cereal in India, and wheat was playing a significant role in driving water loss due to its high irrigation demands.
In addition, they looked at the nutrient value of crops for components like calories, protein, iron and zinc. 
Their results suggested that replacing the current standard crops with maize, finger millet, pearl millet or sorghum would improve iron production by over a quarter and zinc by around a tenth.
Much of India’s reliance on rice and wheat comes from the so-called “green revolution” of the 1960s, a period in which the widespread rollout of new agriculture technologies led to a massive boost in crop production.
While these innovations played a significant role in reducing widespread hunger across the region, they took their toll on the environment, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
Dr Davis said that while changing the dietary preferences of over one billion people might be tricky, there are still regions where alternative crops are consumed in “pretty large amounts”.
Some states are already pushing for more focus on these crops, and the Indian government has dubbed 2018 the “Year of Millets”.
"If the government is able to get people more interested in eating millets, the production will organically respond to that," said Dr Davis. "If you have more demand, then people will pay a better price for it, and farmers will be more willing to plant it."
A farming revolution could be aided further if the Indian state begins providing smallholder farmers with the same kind of subsidies that current incentivise them to planet rice and wheat

In Trade Retaliation, Turkey Raises Import Tariffs on Rice  

ISTANBUL, TURKEY -- USA Rice staff traveled to Turkey last week to meet with local trade and gather firsthand market information on the country's rapidly changing political and economic environment.  

Turkey faces strong inflation due to political insecurity as last month inflation here was at 15.4 percent, the highest experienced since October 2003.  After elections concluded on June 24 with a victory for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the form of government became an imperial presidency, concentrating all powers in the hands of the president.  

Overall economic implications of this power shift are yet to be seen although impact on the rice industry has been immediate.  For the first half of 2018, the Turkish government had reduced import tariffs for all rice origins to ensure adequate domestic rice supply, however, starting July 1, import tariffs were raised back to original levels -- 34 percent for paddy, 26 percent for brown rice, and 45 percent for milled rice. 

In addition, Turkey announced a retaliatory tariff of 25 percent on U.S. rice to be applied on top of "normal" tariff rates as a response to recent steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the U.S. government.
 
Turkey has yet to import any U.S. rice in 2018 due to the relatively high price of U.S.-origin product compared to other origins present in the market including Greece, Russia, and Portugal, as well as low quality Chinese rice.  Additional tariffs do not make the situation for local trade any easier. 

In this challenging market environment, U.S. rice is still available on the shelves of Turkish retailers for now, and USA Rice continues to support sales through in-store promotions and media servicing.  


"Media activities keep U.S.-origin rice top of mind for Turkish consumers," said Hartwig Schmidt, USA Rice regional director for Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.  "Also, to strengthen the high quality image of U.S. rice, USA Rice conducts wild rice specific promotional activities here, communicating the health benefits and other nutritional features to foodservice professionals as well as the media."

Rice export upbeat in first half

Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s rice exports saw remarkable growth in the first six months of this year, with year-on-year increases of 24.6 percent in volume and 42.2 percent in value.

In June alone, the country shipped abroad about 604,000 tonnes of rice worth 317 million USD, raising the first half’s figures to 3.6 million tonnnes and 1.8 billion USD, respectively.

Vietnamese rice was sold at an average price of 505 USD per tonne in the first five months of the year, up 13.4 percent year-on-year.

China remained the country’s largest rice importer, making up 30 percent of the market share, with more than 844,000 tonnes valued at 449.4 million USD.

The value also increased in other markets like Iraq (25.7 times), Malaysia (2.8 times), the US (2.4 times), Hong Kong (China) (49 percent), the Philippines (37.9 percent) and Ghana (17.9 percent).

Notably, Vietnam’s rice exports to Indonesia rose 290.8 times in volume and 269.5 times in value against the same period last year to reach 596,058 tonnes and 280.04 million USD, accounting for 17.3 percent of the country’s total export turnover to Indonesia.

Truong Thanh Phong, advisor of Hong Kong-based Golden Resources Development International Limited, said rice production and exports during the period ran smoothly despites price fluctuations, benefiting farmers, businesses and the State.

Experts forecast that in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first three months of 2019, rice demand will mainly come from the Philippines.

Apart from Indonesia and Malaysia, whose rice demands are expected to remain stable in the upcoming months, Bangladesh and Africa will be also promising markets for Vietnamese rice exporters.

Although China is busy dealing with a trade war with the US, the country still has to import rice to feed domestic demand. However, the volume is forecast to be lower than previous years.

Phong also predicted fierce price competition with Thailand from now to the end of this year, as the country has a bumper harvest this year and its currency saw strong devaluation.

According to the Department of Crop Production under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam is expected to garner 23.3 million tonnes of rice in the remaining months of 2018, raising total output in the year to 43.9 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year rise of at least 1.2 million tonnes.-VNA

Market Movers: MSP hike impact, high-risk jurisdiction list for banks; oil price risk and more

By Nandini Sanyal, ETMarkets.com|: Jul 05, 2018, 08.24 AM IST
Here’s a lowdown on top macro triggers that may move market on Thursday. This report was compiled from agency feeds.

MSP Hike & Its Impact
The government on Wednesday announced an increase in minimum support price (MSP) of 14 kharif crops. Among these crops are paddy and cotton that saw a hike of 13% and 28% respectively. the move would cost the exchequer over Rs 15,000 crore. Economists have said that the move could push inflation upwards and widen the fiscal deficit. The hike in MSP is all set to impact international price of rice and cotton — top agricultural commodities exported from the country. India accounts for almost one-third of the global rice trade. Although MSP covers just normal rice, it will push up price of basmati rice as well. The hike is expected to firm up cotton prices in India, largest exporter of natural fibre, and reflect in
global marketNSE 0.00 % soon.

Iraqis want water from Turkey as Baghdad bans farming summer crops amid drought
MISHKHAB - Associated Press

Iraq has banned its farmers from  planting summer crops this year as the country grapples with a crippling water shortage that shows few signs of abating.
Citing high temperatures and insufficient rains, Dhafer Abdalla, an adviser to Iraq’s Ministry of Water Resources, told The Associated Press that the country has only enough water to irrigate half its farmland this summer.
But farmers fault the government for failing to modernize how it manages water and irrigation, and they blame neighboring Turkey for stopping up the Tigris and Euphrates rivers behind dams it wants to keep building.
Water levels across these two vital rivers - which together give Iraq its ancient name, Mesopotamia, the land between the rivers - fell by over 60 percent in two decades, according to a 2012 report by the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization.
The orders against sowing rice, corn, and other crops this summer came as a shock to the towns and villages in the once fertile plains south of Baghdad, where the local economy depends on farming. Nationwide, one in five Iraqis works in agriculture.
In Iraq’s rice belt, the farmland is cracked and dry.
"I feel as though my very existence has been shaken," said farmer Akeel Kamil as he surveyed his barren fields in the village of Mishkhab.
His 100 dunams - about 25 acres - last year produced 150 tons of Anbar rice, a strain particular to Iraq that is prized for its gentle, floral aroma. This year, the pumps that would be flooding his fields with water are silent, and the irrigation canal that runs by his property is nearly empty.
Flood irrigation has been used in the area for millennia, though FAO has warned of massive water wastage. It and other organizations are calling on the Iraqi government to revamp its approach to agriculture and promote more efficient methods including drip and spray irrigation. Iraq’s Natural Resources Ministry protests it does not have the budget to do that.
Farmers staged demonstrations against the moratorium. In one instance, they forced the closure of a levee along a branch of the Euphrates River to let the water levels rise for irrigation.
They demand the government secure more water from Turkey, fill the country’s reservoirs, and drill into the nation’s aquifers.
"When we protested, no one listened to us. Then we closed the levee, and the police came and the politicians started calling us vandals. Is this how a government behaves with its people?" said Mahdi al-Mhasen, a 48-year-old farmhand in Mishkhab.
The rumblings here will be heard in Baghdad. South Iraq is the popular base of the Shiite blocs that have led Iraqi governments since Saddam Hussein was deposed in 2003. The rice belt hugs Najaf, Shiite Islam’s holiest city, where theologians and politicians have powerful influence.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shiite authority in Iraq, castigated lawmakers, telling the government it must help farmers and modernize irrigation and agriculture.
In response to the pressure, the government said it reversed its ban on rice farming. But Agriculture Ministry spokesman Hameed al-Naief told the AP that only 5,000 dunams (1,236 acres) of irrigated land could be allocated to the crop this summer, less than 3 percent of the area permitted last year.
The impact of waning water resources is clear around Mishkhab. Local divers and river patrols say their branch of the Euphrates is far shallower than it was this time last year. Green scum collects under bridges where the water has stagnated and fishing boats are stranded on the river bed.
Earlier this summer, video on social media showed the water levels of the Tigris River so low that Iraqis in Baghdad were crossing it on foot.
About 70 percent of Iraq’s water supplies flow in from upstream countries. Turkey is siphoning off an ever-growing share of the Tigris and Euphrates to feed its growing population in a warming climate. And it is building new dams that will further squeeze water availability in Iraq.
Syria is expected to start drawing more water off the Euphrates once it emerges from the yearslong civil war.
Turkey started filling its giant Ilisu Dam upstream in June, then paused the operation until July after pleas from Baghdad. Iraq’s Water Resources Ministry says it has enough water behind the Mosul Dam to guarantee adequate flow for a year, but experts say the Ilisu could take up to three years to fill, depending on rains.
The last moratorium on farming rice came in 2009, but that year farmers were permitted to grow other crops to shore up their income.
This year, there is no such reprieve. Though it is OPEC’s third largest oil producer, Iraq, unlike Saudi Arabia, does not distribute revenues to the general population.
Farmers in Mishkhab say they have little to fall back on with the loss of the summer season’s income. Families that depend on credit to cover their expenses during the growing season are afraid their lenders - shop owners, mechanics, even friends - won’t lend to them this year because they know the rice harvest has been cancelled.
"What will happen to our lands?" asked Kamil, the 42-year-old farmer. "Should we leave them? Should we move to the cities?"

Increase in paddy support price: Rice exporters concerned over competitiveness in global market

OUR BUREAUT+ T-
BENGALURU, JULY 4
A 13 per cent increase in MSP of paddy has sent jitters among the non-basmati rice exporters, who fear that the price rise will make the Indian cereal unviable in the global market and threaten India’s position as the largest exporter of rice, they said.
“While we welcome the increase in MSP for farmers, the government should also look at sustaining the growth in rice exports,” said BV Krishna Rao, President of the Rice Exporters Association.
Govt incentives
The government could look at incentivesthrough schemes such as Merchandise Exports from India Scheme or interest subvention, he added. The rice exporters are planning to take up the issue with the Commerce Ministry soon.
Non-basmati shipments
Non-basmati rice shipments have emerged as a major component of the Indian farm produce exports in recent years helping the country to emerge as the largest exporter of the cereal.
Non-basmati rice exports stood at 8.6 million tonnes (mt) valued at $3 billion last year.
In the current financial year, the shipments have maintained the growth trend with a weakening rupee aiding the exports. As per the latest data from Apeda, non-basmati rice shipments have grown 40 per cent in the first two months of current financial year at 1.43 mt valued at $603 million (4,013 crore) over the corresponding last year.
The non-basmati rice accounts for around a fifth of the Apeda’s export basket in value terms.
Export markets
Of India’s total rice production of 108 mt, the domestic consumption including the buffer stocks is estimated at around 97-98 mt, while the rest is exported mainly to countries in Africa, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Any slow-down in shipments will lead to accumulation of stocks and may influence the prices, the exporters said.

ASIA RICE-SLUMP IN DEMAND, WEAKER RUPEE DRAG INDIA RATES LOWER

* Rupee hovers near record low touched last week
* Vietnam rates fall as summer-autumn harvest begins
By Apeksha Nair
BENGALURU, July 5 (Reuters) - Export prices for rice in                                                                                                           major producers across Asia fell this week, with rates in Indiahitting their lowest level in 14 months on sluggish demand and aweaker rupee.
Rates for India's 5 percent broken parboiled variety<RI-INBKN5-P1> fell by $4 to $388-$392 per tonne."Due to falling rupee, export prices are also coming down,"said B V Krishna Rao, President of the Rice ExportersAssociation.
Indian rupee has lost 8 percent so far this year,prompting exporters to offer at lower rates.African countries are making purchases but Bangladesh is not
buying after the duty hike, Rao said. Imports by Bangladesh have dropped after the country imposeda 28 percent tax on rice imports to support its farmers after
local production revived.India on Wednesday raised prices paid to local farmers for
common grade paddy rice by 13 percent from a year ago to 1,750rupees ($25.50) per 100 kg, a move that could hit exports in thenext season, dealers said.In Vietnam, prices of 5 percent broken rice <RI-VNBKN5-P1>
fell to $425-$430 a tonne from $450-$455 a week earlier.
"Prices have dropped following declines in other riceproducing countries and on increasing supplies as thesummer-autumn harvest has started in some parts of the MekongDelta," a Ho Chi Minh City-based trader said.
"I think prices will fall further over the coming weeks asthe harvest peaks," the trader said.Vietnam exported 3.56 million tonnes of rice in the firsthalf of this year, up 25 percent from a year earlier, accordingto the government's General Statistics Office.
Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development latelast week forecast this year's unhusked paddy output at 43.9million tonnes, up 3 percent from last year.In Thailand, prices of the benchmark 5 percent broken rice

Facility for rice opens in Battambang

Rice storage was on sale in a small stall at Phnom Penh's market. Heng Chivoan
Cambodia's first $15 million rice storage and drying facility made its official debut on Tuesday, while three other facilities are set to open later this week, according to insiders.
The Battambang province–based rice storage facility, which is operated by Thanakea Srov (Kampuchea) Plc, received a $15 million loan from the state-owned Rural Development Bank (RDB) in early 2016.
The warehouse is set to be the first privately owned centralised storage facility with a capacity to store 200,000 tonnes of wet paddy and process the drying of 3,000 tonnes of it a day.
Phou Puy, chairman of Thanakea Srov, said that with the presence of the warehouse, good prices for farmers’ rice can be assured.
“From now on, we have enough capacity to collect paddy from farmers and ensure the quality of milled rice for buyers. Our farmers are no longer worried about market and price,” he said.
RDB also provided loans of $15 million to two other rice-milling companies, Khmer Food and Amru Rice, for the construction of rice warehouses in Kampong Thom, Prey Veng and Takeo provinces.
Each facility will have the capacity to store 50,000 tonnes of wet paddy and dry 1,500 tonnes of rice daily.
The rice storage and drying facilities will help boost the country’s exports as well as maintain the local price of paddy, according to Song Saran, CEO of rice exporter Amru Rice.
Amru Rice, which received a loan of $5 million from RDB late last year to build a rice storage facility on 25,000 square metres in Kampong Thom province, will launch the facility today.
Two other storage facilities in Prey Veng and Takeo provinces owned by rice miller Khmer Food are to open on Friday.
“I am confident we will be able to reduce the flow of paddy to neighbouring countries in the coming season. Our new rice facility will ensure that quality and standards are maintained."
“We will also be able to supply rice for buyers on a longer term basis than before and boost rice exports this year,” Song Saran said.
The Ministry of Agriculture in May launched a $2.8 million, South Korea-backed rice storage facility in Kampong Cham province.

NEW DELHI, July 4 (Reuters) - India has raised the price at which the government will buy new- season common rice variety from domestic farmers by at least 13 percent, a source said, as the government looks to woo millions of farmers ahead of general elections due early next year. The source did not give further details.
The government had fixed last year’s local rice purchase price for the common variety at 1,550 rupees ($22.63) per 100 kilogrammes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government said in its February budget that it would buy crops at 1.5 times the cost of production, a major shift after keeping the so-called minimum support price in low single digits over the past three years.Analysts and economists have warned the move could help push up inflation, add to the fiscal deficit and prompt India’s central bank to raise interest rates more steeply than expected.

No guarantee in lower prices of rice upon market liberalisation: Bernas

By FARAH ADILLA and NURHAYATI ABLLAH - 

SHAH ALAM: No guarantee in price reduction for rice even after the government decided to open up the market, said Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas) chief executive officer Ismail Mohamed Yusoff said.

"If we are talking about bringing the prices of rice down, which we think is at reasonable level currently, this would also put risk to the paddy farmers’ welfare,” he told reporters at a briefing here today.
Ismail reiterated that the company is not monopolising the market but rather acting as the nation’s single gatekeeper for the imports of rice.
Under the single gatekeeper mechanism, which has been implemented since 1974, Bernas has continued to ensure that the welfare of farmers is prioritised and the supply and availability of rice to consumers remain at stable and affordable prices, he said.

"In addition to safeguarding food security, Bernas also maintain the quality of local paddy harvest through grading processes, as well as that of imported rice through quality surveyors.
  
He said the single gatekeeping mechanism is an important function to ensure that the local paddy and rice industry is well protected.

“The single gatekeeping plays the role of sole importer, focusing on ensuring that the price of imported rice is not lower than local rice, among others.

“This guarantees the market for local rice, and protects farmers’ welfare.

“Besides that, the mechanism also ensured that the single gatekeeper imports rice regardless of international prices - even if this means that import prices are high and unprofitable.

“In addition, the single gatekeeper cannot import more rice as imports are to match and meet with local demand and to complement local production,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ismail reiterated support for the local paddy and rice industry by ensuring farming communities, stakeholders and all consumers' interests are guaranteed over the decades.

“For over two decades, Bernas has been responsible for maintaining food security - primarily by safeguarding farmers’ income through ensuring the full take up of local rice production, and consumer accessibility to rice at stable and affordable prices,” he said.

Ismail said the company is ready to give full cooperation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries and all industry stakeholders to determine the best operating model which suits the local paddy and rice industry.

“We believe that Bernas’ current system fulfill those requirements, and that the system works,” he said.

Replacing rice, wheat with ‘less thirsty’ crops could help India save water, improve nutrition, says study

Replacing rice and wheat with 'less thirsty' crops could dramatically reduce water demand in India, while also improving nutrition, a study has found.

Replacing rice and wheat with ‘less thirsty’ crops could dramatically reduce water demand in India, while also improving nutrition, a study has found. According to the study published in the journal Science Advances, India will need to feed approximately 394 million more people by 2050, and that is going to be a significant challenge. Nutrient deficiencies are already widespread in India today – 30 per cent or more are anaemic – and many regions are chronically water-stressed, researchers from Columbia University in the US said. Starting in the 1960s, a boom in rice and wheat production helped reduce hunger throughout India.
This Green Revolution also took a toll on the environment, increasing demands on the water supply, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from fertilisers, researchers said. “If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it is unclear how long we could keep that practice up,” said Kyle Davis from Columbia University. “That is why we are thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals,” said Davis, lead author on the study. The researchers studied six major grains currently grown in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet.
For each crop, they compared yield, water use, and nutritional values such as calories, protein, iron, and zinc. They found that rice is the least water-efficient cereal when it comes to producing nutrients, and that wheat has been the main driver in increasing irrigation stresses. The potential benefits of replacing rice with alternative crops varied widely between different regions, depending on how much the crops could rely on rainfall instead of irrigation.
However, the researchers found that replacing rice with maize, finger millet, pearl millet, or sorghum could reduce irrigation water demand by 33 per cent, while improving production of iron by 27 per cent and zinc by 13 per cent. In some instances, those improvements came with a slight reduction in the number of calories produced, because rice has been bred to have higher yields per unit of land. In some regions there is a tradeoff between water and land use efficiency, but Davis thinks that with more attention from scientists, the alternative crops could develop higher yields as well. For now, rice replacement is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but something that should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for each district, Davis said.
The team, including Ashwini Chhatre from the Indian School of Business, wants to study Indian food preferences, to see if people would be willing to incorporate more of these alternative cereals into their diets. “There are places around India where these crops continue to be consumed in pretty large amounts and there were, even more, a generation or two ago, so it is still within the cultural memory,” Davis said.

Could Swapping Rice for Other Grains Help Solve India’s Water Crisis?

Farmers ploughing a rice field in southern India. Sonja Pieper / CC BY-SA 2.0A study published in Science Advances Wednesday offers a potential solution to India's growing nutritional and water needs: replace rice with less thirsty, more nutrititious cereals.
The study found that by replacing the rice grown in each district with the grain that required the least water for irrigation, India could decrease water demand by 33 percent while increasing protein production by 1 percent, zinc production by 13 percent and iron production by 27 percent.
An increase in rice and wheat production beginning in the 1960s, known as the Green Revolution, helped feed the subcontinent's growing population but had unforeseen environmental consequences in the form of water demand, greenhouse gas emissions and fertilizer pollution.
"If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it's unclear how long we could keep that practice up," study lead author and Columbia University Earth Institute fellow Kyle Davis said in an Earth Institute press release. "That's why we're thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals."
The findings come as India suffers the "worst water crisis in its history," according to a government report published in June. The report found that 200,000 Indians die because of lack of water access each year, and the problem will only grow worse. Demand will double supply by 2030 if nothing changes.
Agriculture has a role to play in the current crisis, a Reuters feature published Thursday reported. Farmers and wealthy Indians use so much groundwater that it has plunged to record lows, the report found, according to Reuters. Current trends indicate that 21 major cities, including New Delhi and Bengaluru, will run out of groundwater by 2020.
Wednesday's study found that the grains maize, finger millet, pearl millet or sorghum would be more water efficient. Rice is the most water inefficient crop in terms of its nutritional value, and wheat has contributed the most to an increase in irrigation demands, the study found. Since the alternative grains packed in more of the nutrients the researchers studied, switching to them could also help India feed an additional 394 million people by 2050. Thirty percent of people in India are currently anemic, according to the Earth Institute, so increasing nutritional yields as the population grows is crucial.
But Davis said he was not yet ready to recommend that India switch cereals. First he said researchers needed to conduct more studies taking into account the greenhouse gas emissions, climate sensitivity and the labor and financial cost of each alternative crop, according to the Earth Institute.
Climate-change altered rainfall patterns are already contributing to the current water crisis.
Davis also wanted to study if Indian farmers and consumers could be persuaded to switch to more water efficient cereals. The country's Public Distribution System (PDS) currently subsidizes rice and wheat, but Davis thought it could be persuaded to subsidize millets or other grains instead if they were found to be a better option for the country.
"If the government is able to get people more interested in eating millets, the production will organically respond to that," Davis told the Earth Institute. "If you have more demand, then people will pay a better price for it, and farmers will be more willing to plant it."

Swap rice for maize, millet and sorghum to save water and boost nutrition: experts tell India

JULY 5, 2018 / 3:39 PM
ROME (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Replacing rice with more nutritious, less thirsty cereals could help India reduce hunger and chronic water stress and improve nutrition, experts said.Planting maize, finger millet, pearl millet or sorghum could reduce water demand by a third and increase iron and zinc production in the world’s second most populous country, they said in a study published in the journal Science Advances.Water in many parts of India is under strain from irrigation to produce rice, the least water-efficient cereal for the production of key nutrients.
The need to produce more nutritious cereals is urgent as India faces a “significant challenge” in having to feed approximately 394 million more people by 2050, the report said. The researchers studied six major grains grown in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet. For each crop, they compared yield, water use, and nutritional values such as calories, protein, iron, and zinc. “There are alternative cereals that are high in nutrients but in order to supply them, we need to produce more of them,” said Ashwini Chhatre, associate professor at the Hyderabad-based Indian School of Business and a co-author of the study.
 Maize, finger millet, pearl millet or sorghum are less harmful to the environment and already produced in India but in smaller numbers, Chhatre told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone, adding public investment could be channeled towards their production.Ranked below North Korea in the 2017 Global Hunger Index, more than half of women in India are anemic - a condition usually caused by a lack of iron.Government data also shows about 39 percent of children suffer from chronic undernutrition and around 42.5 percent are underweight.Some crops, like millets and sorghum, were part of the traditional diet, but the government’s heavy subsidies for rice and wheat had influenced production and dietary choices away from these nutrient-rich alternatives, said the study.
India, the world’s top rice exporter, is expected to produce 109 million metric tonnes of rice in 2018-19 from 43.5 million hectares of land, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.In Punjab state in India’s north, the government is already looking to replace rice with maize due to water shortages, said B.M. Prasanna of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT).“Maize consumes at least 40 to 50 percent less water compared to rice,” said Prasanna, Kenya-based director of CIMMYT’s maize program who was not involved in the study.Rice consumption per person in some other parts of Asia, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korean has dropped between 41 percent to more than two-thirds in the past decades, data from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) shows.

30 Percent Of Indians Are Anemic - Switching From Rice (Or Bioengineering Better Stuff) Would Help
By News Staff | July 5th 2018 02:54 PM | 
 
Starting in the 1960s, a Green Revolution in India led to a boom in rice and wheat production and that helped reduce hunger - but it meant demands on the water supply and pollution from fertilizer.When Indians have embraced modern technology more recently, pollution from fertilizer has gone down, but rice takes a lot of water. And "natural" rice is not great nutritionally. Nutrient deficiencies are already widespread in India today--30 percent or more are anemic--and many regions are chronically water-stressed.

But it doesn't have to be that way. By comparing yield, water use, and nutritional values such as calories, protein, iron, and zinc of six major grains currently grown in India (rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, and pearl and finger millet) researchers in a new analysis found that found that rice is the least water-efficient cereal when it comes to producing nutrients.
Credit: Kevin Krajick
Replacing rice with maize, finger millet, pearl millet, or sorghum could reduce irrigation water demand by 33 percent, while improving production of iron by 27 percent and zinc by 13 percent.The potential benefits of replacing rice with alternative crops varied between different regions, depending on how much the crops could rely on rainfall instead of irrigation.

There are concerns that Indians may not be willing to incorporate more of these alternative cereals into their diets but if it were really preferable to starve, India would not need to subsidize rice. But they do. India's state-run Public Distribution System (PDS) subsidizes rice and wheat to support smallholder farmers and low-income households and those farmers would readily switch to more nutritious, water-saving cereals like millet and sorghum.

Some Indian states are have already started pilot programs to grow more of these crops, and the Indian government is calling 2018 the 'Year of Millets.'

India needs to switch crops to feed quickly growing population

Researchers are looking at ways to revitalize the agriculture industry so that crops are sustainable in their water use and continue to provide enough nutrients and food as demand continues to grow with population.
India is a country that already deals with severe nutrient deficiencies and 30 percent or more of its citizens are anemic.
Water shortages and drier and drier monsoon seasons are also causing problems with water and crop shortages and by 2050, India is expected have 394 million more people to feed.
A new study conducted by researchers from Columbia University examined ways to replace wheat and rice with other more nutrient-rich crops to see if it would impact water use and food demand.
In the 1960s, India experienced a green revolution and a boom in rice and wheat production helped reduce hunger but the increase in crops and agriculture also increased water use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The truth is that wheat and rice simply aren’t sustainable crops for India at this time as climate change and population increases continue to take hold.
The Indian government is working to reduce malnourishment while improving water use and the new study examined ways to make this possible.
“If we continue to go the route of rice and wheat, with unsustainable resource use and increasing climate variability, it’s unclear how long we could keep that practice up,” said Kyle Davis, the lead author of the new study. “That’s why we’re thinking of ways to better align food security and environmental goals.”
For the study, the researchers reviewed data on six major grain crops in India: rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, pearl millet, and finger millet.
Each crop’s water use and nutritional values were then analyzed and compared to see if any crops could be reduced or replaced.
As rice and wheat are the least sustainable when it comes to water use and the nutrients they provide, the researchers found that if rice was instead replaced with maize or millet it would have a significant positive impact.
The results show that replacing rice crops could reduce water demand by 33 percent and increase nutrient production or iron by 27 percent.
Both replacing crops and working with genetic modification to increase calories and nutrients of the crops grown would help lessen malnourishment and food shortages.
More research is needed before India makes any widespread policy changes, but the study shows that sustainable, nutrient-rich crops are a possibility for India in the future.
“If the government is able to get people more interested in eating millets, the production will organically respond to that,” said Davis. “If you have more demand, then people will pay a better price for it, and farmers will be more willing to plant it.”

Government partners with IRRI to find other uses for rice straw

 
The government partnered with the International Rice Research Institute (Irri) for a two-year project that aims to develop technologies using rice straw as part of efforts to improve the income of Filipino farmers.
The Philippine Rice Research Institute, Philippine Carabao Center, and the Irri launched the Sustainable Rice Straw Management for Bioenergy, Food, and Feed in the Philippines program for localized and sustainable rice straw management solutions in the country.
“It is very exciting to see how we are taking further steps, through strong collaboration with our Philippine partners, to find ways to manage rice by-products, for optimal resource-use efficiency in farms in the most environmentally sustainable manner. This is very crucial for us to achieve a sustainable impact in rice–based ecosystems,” Jon Hellin, Irri platform leader on Sustainable Impact, said in a statement.
There is a perceived “poor value” on rice straw in the Philippines because of its difficulty in collection and lack of opportunities to be used as an additional source of income, according to the Irri.
Although the profusion of rice straw can be used for profiting like mushroom production, composting and using it as feed for animals, about 60 percent to 80 percent of rice straw is burned in the open fields by farmers for easier management, the Irri said.
This method of rice straw management, according to the Irri, contributes to greenhouse-gas emission and air pollution.“We must create incentives for farmers to stop burning and to do this under the umbrella of enabling legislative framework,” Hellin said.
The two-year public-private partnership program is funded by the Bureau of Agricultural Research.

International Class Will Be Studying Arkansas Food Industries and Cuisine

July 05, 2018     
Students in the Department of Food Science's "Arkansas Food Industries and Culinary Traditions" summer course.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Students from all around Arkansas and the world will spend two weeks in Fayetteville this month studying Arkansas’ food industry and culinary traditions.
The Department of Food Science in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences at the University of Arkansas is organizing the international “short course.” It will highlight the importance of the area’s regional food industry and food culture. Topics and speakers range from major international companies to unique small niche home-grown businesses.
From July 9-20, students will have sessions on topics such as food product innovation, sensory testing, fermented food and beverages, the art and science of coffee brewing, coffee flavor chemistry and sensory analysis, rice processing and small fruit breeding.
Students will take part in hands-on sauerkraut production, multiple cooking demonstrations, rice milling demonstrations and small group workshops.
“The purpose is to broaden the cultural and professional experience of food science students from all over,” said Andrew Proctor, University Professor of food science. “These annual courses integrate student’s academic education with the real-life food business operations of a specific geographical region.”
Five students from Austria (Graz Technical University), one from Belgium (University of Ghent) and one from Switzerland (Zurich University of Applied Science) have enrolled in the two-week course, along with four students from the U of A and two from Fresno State University in California.
“The courses allow students from different nationalities to interact in a classroom, social and professional environments,” said Proctor. “We are focusing on Northwest Arkansas, but also visiting the rice industry of the Delta region.”
The course, Arkansas Food Industries and Culinary Traditions, is part of a strategy to develop relationships with key international partners in research, education and industry outreach, Proctor said. He and food science professor Luke Howard developed research collaborations with Graz TU, and Proctor taught two summer classes in Austria last year as part of the first summer program in the partnership.
In addition to the international students, three instructors from Austria are among the presenters and speakers, including Erich Leiter, an internationally recognized chef and professor. Leiter is an expert in consumer trends, a flavor chemist, sensory science expert and Bumpers College’s key partner at Graz TU. Proctor and Leiter worked together when Proctor served as a Fulbright-Austria NAWI Graz Visiting Professor in Natural Sciences in 2015. Leiter visited the U of A the following semester, and was struck by the similarity and subtle differences in the food industry and culture between the Styria region of Austria and the Ozark region of Arkansas.
The program was developed by Proctor and Jean-Francois Meullenet, former department head and now associate vice president for agriculture–research with the U of A System Division of Agriculture.
“This short course helps highlight Northwest Arkansas as a center of interest for food science professionals,” said Proctor. “It increases our profile at Graz Technical University and promotes our international standing. Our department may be developing a model for others to follow as we synergistically engage with key international partners. The focus is on ‘relationships’ rather than ‘programs.’ The programs then develop from these relationships.”        
Sessions will be led by various speakers, including Brian Davis, Simmons Foods; Jessica Sossamon, Tyson Discovery Center; and Stephen O’Brien, Walmart Innovation Center.
Tours include visits to Walmart’s Innovation Center, Tyson’s Discovery Center, Onyx Coffee Lab in Rogers, Fossil Cove microbrewery, Moniker Ferments, the Rice Research and Extension Center in Stuttgart, supermarket visits (Harps, Sam’s Club, Whole Foods) as part of a consumer trends study, Post Familie Vineyards in Altus, Fruit Research Station in Clarksville, Fayetteville Farmers Market and Brightwater Center for the Study of Food in Bentonville.
About the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences:Bumpers College provides life-changing opportunities to position and prepare graduates who will be leaders in the businesses associated with foods, family, the environment, agriculture, sustainability and human quality of life; and who will be first-choice candidates of employers looking for leaders, innovators, policy makers and entrepreneurs. The college is named for Dale Bumpers, former Arkansas governor and longtime U.S. senator who made the state prominent in national and international agriculture.
About the University of Arkansas: The University of Arkansas provides an internationally competitive education for undergraduate and graduate students in more than 200 academic programs.
