China
extended rice contract with Myanmar to September 2020, according to Myanmar
Rice Federation (MRF).
Both
countries agreed to extend the expired Sanitary and Phytosanitary – SPS
Protocol to September 2020. Myanmar will continue to export rice to China as
per agreement. Myanmar is not exported broken rice to China as it is still
checked by China.
Myanmar
and China signed the agreement to sell rice to China on September 24 2014.
Myanmar
signed rice quality inspection agreement with the General Administration of
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China
(AQSIQ) and cooperation in farming sector and market availability of farming
crops with Ministry of Agriculture of China.
Two
Chinese ministers said China will give priority to border trade and they assume
Yunnan market as export market for Myanmar. Senior officials from Yunnan
Province are included in Chinese delegation and Myanmar requested to China to
help to ease border trade. Chinese officials said they will help.
The
MRF carried out to the ministerial level signing agreement to export rice to
China officially in 2014 and it is informed to Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock and Irrigation to extend the agreement which is expired in this
month. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Myanmar embassy in China helped for the
agreement.
More
than 70 per cent of rice exports were made from border trade in previous years
and about 30 per cent of them were exported through maritime trade.
Myanmar
is mostly exporting rice to China through Muse border trade center. Although
Myanmar is exported rice to China officially, Chinese government didn’t
recognize it and there are seizures frequently in China.
Most
of the rice exports to China under agreements are made through maritime trade
route and both countries signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to fix the
amount of rice export.
MULTAN - Indonesian Ambassador in Pakistan Iwan
Suyudhie Amri said on Thursday that an agreement would soon be signed to export
one million tonnes of rice from Pakistan to Indonesia by 2019.
He said work was underway to devise a mutually
acceptable mechanism. Addressing the members of Multan Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (MCCI), he invited the local manufacturers, exporters and
industrialists to take part in 33rd Trade Expo in Indonesia to be held from Oct
24 to 28 to promote business.
He further revealed that his country had
decided to grant 30-day free visa to the traders and visitors from 174
countries for the expo.
Tracing the relations between the two
countries, he said that it was friendly and cordial since the inception of two
countries. “However, now we should make serious efforts to translate these
relations into economic terms.
He said that volume of bilateral trade between
the two countries is 2.18 billion dollars which is far less than the existing
potential. He further said that law and order situation has improved in
Pakistan and it will definitely have positive impact on its exports to
Indonesia.
Regarding CPEC, he said that it will attract
foreign investment and all regional countries will enjoy its benefits. He said
that Indonesia is a country with huge population of 250 million.
"Our domestic market is very strong which
has provided us a solid base for speedy economic growth," he added.
Regarding Halal food, he said, Pakistan is speedily undertaking the process of
Halal food certification which will help it make maximum Halal exports to the
Indonesia.
Commenting on people to people contacts, he
said that Indonesia is offering scholarships to Pakistani students which will
bring both the communities closer to each other.
Responding to a question about health and
education related reforms, he said that Indonesia has allocated 20 percent of
its budget for education as elementary level education is free. Similarly,
cross subsidy is offered in health sector.
The rich are charged while the poor are getting
free treatment. He hoped that the system will be further improved in the coming
years.
He also assured to remove the hurdles in the
export of rock salt from Pakistan to Indonesia.
He paid glowing tribute to deceased former
Ambassador of Indonesia Burhan Muhammad who worked hard to bolster the
bilateral relations between the two counties.
Earlier in his address of welcome, Malik Asrar
Ahmed Awan, President of MCCI, underlined the importance of the region and said
it shares 96 percent of total production of Punjab province and 70 % of the
country. He said 47 % wheat, 23 % sugarcane, 50% livestock, and it produces
good quality of mangoes.
He said that trade between Pakistan and the
Southeast Asian giant has been growing strongly for the last couple of years.
The volume of bilateral trade grew from $700 million in 2010 to $2.3 billion in
2016, up 229%, he said.
“Pakistan’s problem is that it is not ready to
explore far-eastern markets, including Indonesia. Unless our exporters go for
innovation and branding, the situation is not going to change,” said Malik
Asrar Ahmed.
The two countries signed the Comprehensive
Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) in 2005 and the preferential trade
agreement (PTA) in 2012, which became operational in 2013.
Indonesia’s exports to Pakistan increased from
$1.2 billion in 2012 to $2.2 billion in 2016-17 while Pakistan’s exports to
Indonesia unfortunately declined from $196 million to $137 million.
Pakistan’s major exports to Indonesia include
textiles and clothing, rice, vegetables and fruits (mainly oranges) while its
major import item from Indonesia is palm oil.
Panamanian authorities reportedly
checking what was delivered.
Assurances have been given by
General Manager of Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), Nizam Hassan, that
there is no threat to the lucrative Panama market for Guyana’s rice.
This assurance comes amidst reports of local rice being rejected by Trinidad
then being shipped to Panama. This resulted in the Central American country
refusing 20 containers of rice.
With regards to the effect, basically the buyer said, “No this is not what we
want; it cannot come; so take it back and send us back our rice.”
“We will have to replace the rice that was not received. The authorities
understand that it is a contract between the GRDB and the Institute of
Agricultural Marketing in Panama; they know that the GRDB itself is not a
producer of rice,” Hassan explained yesterday.
Hassan said he has no knowledge of the rice being previously rejected by
Trinidad and repackaged for the Panamanian market.
“We have no information of rice being shipped to Trinidad and being returned to
Guyana. When rice leaves here, we would have all the documents and if returned,
plant quarantine would have been involved. We have no information of this
happening,” Hassan told the Department of Public Information (DPI).
Further, the GRDB Head said there is an ongoing investigation to determine
whether there was a deliberate effort to deceive on the part of millers or it
was a genuine operational error.
In this case, the rice was reportedly shipped by Cayume Hakh and Sons.
“We are still investigating to identify whether it was an operational issue or
whether it was a deliberate effort. I cannot comment on that because the
investigation is in progress. If it were an operational issue, because from our
reports thus far, the miller is using this packaging facility that bags and
packages white rice and parboiled rice using the same line.
“However, we have only just received photos saying this is what we found. It
does not necessarily mean that an entire container has parboiled rice, it may
have been a few bags,” the GRDB head explained.
According to Hassan, systems have now been strengthened to prevent a recurrence
of any similar situation.
“Let me say that all systems have been heightened with regards to inspections,
quality control checks with respect to shipments to this buyer, that’s the
first thing.”
Guyana exported some 540,000 tonnes of rice for 2017, which saw its highest
numbers since 2015 when a total of 535,000 tonnes were recorded. The GRDB is
the agency responsible for certifying rice being shipped from Guyana to
overseas markets.
Stakeholders have called for a comprehensive investigation into the problem and
the resignation of GRDB Board and Agri Minister, Noel Holder.
Iraq’s trade ministry said on Wednesday it bought 100,000 tonnes
of wheat and 90,000 tonnes of rice in direct deals, outside of the
international tendering process.
Of the total, Iraq bought 50,000 tonnes of US wheat and 50,000 tonnes
of Australian wheat, Mohamed Hanoun, spokesman for the ministry told Reuters.
The rice that Iraq purchased was from Vietnam, he said.
The ministry did not give a price for the purchases but said
strategic stocks of both grains would last up to February or March 2019 as a
result of the deals.
Traders had earlier reported the rice purchase at $577 a tonne,
cost and freight (C&F).
Apart from the direct contracts, the ministry is also tendering
for 30,000 tonnes of rice with a deadline of Oct. 1 for submitting offers.
Iraq is also seeking 50,000 tonnes of wheat in an international
purchasing tender at which traders said Canadian wheat was offered at the
lowest price of $337 a tonne, cost, insurance and freight (CIF).
No result has been announced yet for that tender.
The trade ministry imports millions of tonnes of wheat and rice
annually as millions of Iraqis depend on the government’s extensive subsidised
food system.
Iraq’s cabinet last year authorised the ministry to make direct
purchases of wheat and rice, in addition to its international purchasing
tenders, to guarantee food security.

Nalgonda: Nalgonda district aims to procure two lakh tonnes of paddy for
kharif season for which Joint Collector Dr C Narayana Reddy conducted a review
meeting with officials concerned on Friday.
He met with officials of Marketing,
Civil Supplies and Agriculture departments, and rice millers in his chamber at
the District Collectorate to chalk out an action plan for the paddy
procurement. He said the government fixed Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs
17,770 per quintal for A-grade paddy and Rs 1,750 for low quality paddy. He
asked officials to prepare plans to meet the target, he said.
Reddy informed that it was decided
to set up 100 paddy procurement centres, including 53 centres of IKP groups and
47 of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies. He also instructed the
District Manager of Civil Supplies Corporate to make available 50,000 gunny
bags for the purpose. He also instructed officials of the Marketing Department
to procure weighing machines, tarpaulin covers and other equipment, needed for
procurement of paddy from farmers.
Rice Millers Association district
president Karnati Ramesh requested the authorities to ensure that the millers
get good quality paddy. Representatives of farmers’ associations urged the
officials to take measures to ensure farmers do not face problems at

China's scientists observe plant growth in
its space lab
2018-09-28
08:40:25CGTNEditor : Gu Liping
Astronauts need a lot of food during
their space expedition that sometimes takes nearly two years. Carrying dried
prepackaged food takes up space in their spacecraft.
One solution is to send seeds that
occupy less volume to cultivate them in the space. Recently, scientists have
successfully grown vegetables and plants in the space shuttles.
However, microgravity makes it
difficult to water the plants as they clump together. Space scientists at NASA
started using hydroponics and aeroponics to grow plants in space stations.
While hydroponics delivers water to
plant roots, aeroponics ensures misty air conditions for plants' growth.
Chinese scientists have taken this
experiment to the next level at Tiangong-2, a space laboratory.
They are trying to accomplish
full-cycle of plant growth under microgravity. Boxes containing rice and
Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant, are on board the space lab.
"After the seeds arrive in
space, they will grow and mature there, and finally yield seeds. This kind of
long-term experiment is quite rare in the international community," Zheng
Huiqiong, director of Tiangong-2's space biotechnology and the plant cell
engineering research team said.
"It is of great importance
because it can help solve one of the key problems to providing necessary food,
water, and oxygen to humans," Zheng explained.
The research found that under the
conditions of microgravity, the flowering of Arabidopsis occurs 22 days later
than on the ground.
"If we need to eat leaves in
the future, it is better to have plants that flower late. But for rice, late
flowering will influence the yields, so we have to adapt it to the
environment," said Zheng.
The research also found that rice
is more active in guttation under the conditions of microgravity, meaning it
exudes more and more significant drops of sap on its leaves.
"This phenomenon has
advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, bigger sap drops will influence
the growth of the plant because it will increase the humidity. On the other
hand, it offers us clues to establish an effective life-support system in the
future, so we could provide water to humans via plants," said Zheng.
Fifth
Generation Arkansas Farmer Recognized for Sustainability Practices
Excerpt
from Field to Market Farmer Spotlight
STUTTGART, AR -- A fifth-generation farmer, Matthew Feilke is proud to follow
in his father and grandfather's footsteps as he stewards Feilke Farm's 4,100
acres of rice, corn, and soybeans here, just 42 miles southeast of Little
Rock.
Living and farming in the "Rice and Duck Capitol of the World,"
Feilke takes conservation very seriously. He has participated in the
Riceland, Kellogg, and Syngenta Arkansas Rice Fieldprint Project for the past
two years, and documents and demonstrates sustainability practices annually
utilizing the sustainability metrics of the Fieldprint Platform embedded
within Syngenta's Land.DB farm management software.
"Before I participated in the Fieldprint Project, I knew that I was
implementing sustainable practices, but how would the consumer know
that?" said Feilke. "By utilizing the Fieldprint Platform and
collaborating with a major food company, we can demonstrate to consumers that
farmers are doing our part to provide food that is healthy for them and the
planet."
"Matthew's farming operation perfectly showcases the innovative
techniques that rice producers have adopted to make their production
practices more sustainable," said Josh Hankins, Rice Stewardship
Partnership coordinator at USA Rice. "Through the integration of
innovative irrigation techniques, a tail water recovery system, and
commitment to flooding his fields for overwintering waterfowl, Matthew
demonstrates the importance of stewarding our natural resources. It is
because of sustainable and conservation minded producers like Matthew that
the rice industry continues to do more with less each year."

First
consignment to be shipped Friday from Nagpur
NEW DELHI, SEPTEMBER

China has finally lifted
restrictions on import of non-basmati rice from India and is ready to receive
the first consignment being shipped from the country.
“The first consignment of
non-basmati rice (white rice 5 per cent broken) of 100 tonnes is to be shipped
to China from Nagpur tomorrow. The consignment will be received by China
National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO)," an official
release from the Commerce Ministry stated on Thursday.
COFCO is one of China's
state-owned food processing holding companies.
Following concerted efforts of
India which has been urging China to lift the curbs for a long time, the
Chinese quality agency recently inspected and registered 19 rice mills and
processing units for export.
The protocol between General
Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China and the Department

phyto-sanitary requirements for exporting rice from India to China was signed
this June at Qingdao, China, during the visit of the Prime Minister Narendra
Modi.
This amended the earlier protocol
on phyto-sanitary requirements for exporting rice from India to China to
include the export of non-basmati varieties of rice from India.
China allowed imports of Basmati
rice from India some years back, but there is not much demand for it in the

RICE-VIETNAM PRICES GAIN ON PHILIPPINE ORDERS; INDIA RATES DIP
9/27/2018
* Thai prices gain on stronger baht
* Bangladesh could import as much as 700,000 T in year to June
By Eileen Soreng
BENGALURU, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Vietnamese rice export prices rose
this week on increased demand from the Philippines and elsewhere while rates
for rice from top exporter India fell on expectations for a bumper summer-sown
crop and a weak rupee.
In Vietnam, traders offered 5 percent broken rice
<RI-VNBKN5-P1> at $400-$405 a tonne, slightly higher than the $395-$405 a
week earlier, as supplies fell and demand rose.
"We are seeing rising demand from the Philippines and other
markets," a Ho Chi Minh City trader said, adding that prices may rise
further in the coming weeks because of tight supply.
The Philippines on Monday decided to ramp up its rice imports
before the end of the year, announcing a decision to purchase 500,000 tonnes in
addition to the 250,000 tonnes it planned to buy via an open tender.
That increasing demand is expected to boost export prices of the
Philippines' main suppliers, Vietnam and Thailand.
Iraq also purchased at least 60,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam in
a direct deal without an international tender being issued, traders in Europe
and the Middle East said.
"Supplies will improve later next month when the mini
autumn-winter harvest begins," the Ho Chi Minh trader said. However,
output is expected to be half the size of the summer-autumn harvest.
Rates for India's 5 percent broken parboiled rice
<RI-INBKN5-P1> dipped by $3 to $370-$374 a tonne.
Demand for the new-season crop is not robust, said an exporter
based at Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
" (The) falling rupee is making deals at lower prices
possible," the exporter said.
The Indian rupee has weakened by nearly 12 percent in 2018 and
touched a record low this month, increasing exporters margins.
Meanwhile, neighbouring Bangladesh could import as much as 700,000
tonnes in the year to June 2019, said a senior official at the state grains
buyer.
Last year Bangladesh's Boro rice crop, which accounts for more
than half of the country's typical annual rice production, fell to its lowest
in seven years after floods destroyed crops.
"We are keeping a budget for imports of 700,000 tonnes of
rice as a precaution, just in case natural disasters destroy crops again this
year," the official said.
Thailand's benchmark 5 percent broken rice <RI-THBKN5-P1>
was quoted at $395–398 a tonne free on board (FOB) Bangkok, versus $390-$393
last week.
Traders attributed the increase to a strengthening of the Thai
baht against the U.S. dollar, noting that demand for its rice was relatively
flat.
Thailand's government on Wednesday said it had sold 100,000 tonnes
of rice to China in the first such sale since March. (Reporting by Panu

President
Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday said the growing population of drug addicts
confined in rehabilitation centers were to blame for the country’s rice crisis.
“Now,
many are in the rehabilitation [centers] that’s why we have rice crisis. These
deranged people started eating [rice],” Duterte said in a jest in a speech in
Malacañang.
The
presidential quip came a day after his spokesman, Harry Roque, blamed outgoing
National Food Authority chief Jason Aquino for “singlehandedly” aggravating
inflation with the rice crisis during his stewardship of the agency.
“Maybe
next time, when there’s another crisis, you distribute shabu [to them] for the
others to eat, so we can save rice for the others, especially the innocent and
the good ones,” said Duterte, receiving laughs from government workers and
officials.
He
then said the drug addicts, caught under the administration’s crackdown on
drugs, were thin as most of them did not eat.
“They’re
thin, most of them are thin. You can see them on TV. Shabu is the only thing
they eat, nothing else,” said Duterte.
“You
know why they’re thin? Because they do not eat. And they keep on grinding their
teeth just like when someone’s in a dream. So, when your son does that, it’s a
red flag,” Duterte said, mimicking the mannerism of drug users.
The
President made the remarks as he administered the oath-taking of the new Career
Executive Service Officers, the conferment ceremony of the 2017 Gawad Career
Executive Services, and the 2018 Outstanding Government Workers Awards rites.

related developments:
•
The Trade Department Consumer Protection Group is putting pressure on the NFA
for its lack of urgency to put out more government rice stocks in supermarkets
and groceries as decided in a tripartite agreement signed between the Trade
Department, NFA and the supermarket association.
Trade
undersecretary for consumer protection Ruth Castelo, in a briefing Thursday,
said the NFA should cooperate to relax some of the requirements needed to
retail government rice in mainstream formal distribution outlets.
“We
just wish that NFA will move faster. If they can move in tune with the pace of
consumer needs, then it will be best. They would probably have to relax some
measures or streamline some of what were traditionally required of retailers to
speed up processing. As much as possible, we want the procedure to be done in a
day’s time,” she said.
•
NFA officials implicated by Senator Risa Hontiveros in an alleged “P2-billion
enterprise” expressed disgust they were collectively accused of wrongdoing for
simply performing their job as part of standard operating procedures in the
agency.
In
a privilege speech delivered on Sept. 24, Hontiveros named NFA administrator
Aquino; Judy Carol Dansal, deputy administrator for operations; Mercedes
Yacapin, assistant administrator for
operations;
Rocky Valdez, former director of NFA’s marketing operations department;
executive assistant Richie Carpio; and two other individuals as part of an
alleged “tara” system in imported rice
that
gave them a “windfall of P2 billion.”
•
The highly in demand low-priced good quality rice from NFA is now available in
at least two supermarkets in Metro Manila.
Rice
consumers can now buy NFA rice at P27 and P32 per kilogram from Daily
Supermarket along P. Tuazon corner 20th Avenue in Quezon City and from San
Roque Supermarket on Quirino Highway corner Dumalay St. in Novaliches, Quezon
City.
Since
the signing of the memorandum of agreement on Sept. 19, only one supermarket in
Cubao started retailing NFA rice on Monday.
The
CPG noted that with 200 members of the Philippine Amalgamated Supermarkets Association
Inc., it will take time for the NFA to assess the documentation requirement of
each member.
“They
[NFA] were told to put out all the remaining government rice inventory into the
market to provide relief to families barely augmenting their resources for
food. And they have committed to adhere to the agreement by virtue of the
memo,” Castelo said.
There
are about 2.3 million metric tons of rice in the government warehouses.
The
NFA has increased its market participation to 20 percent two weeks ago from 13
percent or about 128,000 bags of 50 kilogram each from 76,000 bags per day.
NFA
spokesperson Rex Estoperez said consumer could expect a gradual decrease in
commercial rice prices to about P37 to P39/kilo from P40 to P42/kilo within the
next two weeks.
The
first tranche of 250,000 MT imported rice to arrive October will help lower
down the price of commercial rice.
Another
tranche of 250,000 MT will arrive November and the final tranche of another
250,000 MT on December shall comprise the total allowed importation of 750,000
MT.
Adding
up to imports are NFA inventory and the expected palay output that was delayed
due to the recent typhoon.
“We
will maintain the 20 percent participation of NFA until prices and volume
stabilize. We only intervene if there is a problem on price and inventory. It
is our mandate to see to it that the country has a stable supply of rice
nicely-priced and affordable to all income brackets,” Estoperez said.
Last
Sept. 19, the NFA signed a tripartite MOA with the Department of Trade and
Industry and the Philippine Amalgamated Supermarkets Association Inc. for
members of PAGASA to sell
NFA
rice in addition to the existing accredited outlets in public markets.
San
Roque Supermarket has been an accredited retailer of the NFA and has been
selling NFA rice even before the Memorandum of Agreement was signed.
NFA
district offices in Metro Manila have started accepting applications for the
license to sell NFA rice from member-supermarkets of PAGASA.
Each
supermarket is allotted 50 bags of NFA rice sold at either P27 or P32 per
kilogram.
The
supermarket owners go to the nearest NFA branch to pay their purchase.
They
will then proceed to the designated NFA warehouse to withdraw their allocation
similar to what regular NFA accredited retailers are currently doing.
Consumers
can buy affordable NFA rice at supermarkets in two-kilogram packs.
Except
for Aquino and Carpio, those named are long-time NFA employees who rose from
the ranks and are now occupying high positions in the operations group of the
agency.
“We
have faithfully served the agency and the public for more than 40 years. It is
lamentable that somebody, speaking under the cloak of immunity of the Senate,
would destroy our names and reputation in a few minutes of privileged speech,”
the old-time NFA officials said.
“We
are appalled at how some politicians have made malicious imputations on
activities that are being done in the course of business of the agency,” they
added.
The
distribution of NFA rice goes through several channels: accredited retailers,
government agencies, relief agencies, local government units and other
outlets.
“It
is not sold to one person or entity,” they explained.
At
present, the NFA sells rice through 15,892 accredited rice retailers nationwide
and many other outlets like Institutionalized Bigasan sa Palengke, Bigasang
Bayan, Barangay Bagsakan, Bigasan sa Parokya, and Tagpuan Rice Response
Delivery outlets.
During
the Senate agriculture committee hearing held on Feb. 27, when Senator Grace
Poe first mentioned the above-named NFA officials, the NFA came prepared, with
a boxful of documents containing the list of retailers and receipts of rice
issuances to its various distribution outlets.
But
these documents were ignored and the senators instead went on to pillory the
NFA officials on alleged irregularities.
On
the extension of import permits for the 2016 minimum access volume imports,
they said importer Villa Shipping Line, Inc., JVV EX/Import and Kakampi MPC
were issued the corresponding Import Permits after they submitted their
explanations corresponding to their shipments which were the basis for the
approval of their import permits.
In
the case of SRT Alcala MPC, the coop was initially issued an import allocation
of 1, 020 MT with Vietnam as a country of origin.
This
was covered by MAV-2017-COE-229 dated Nov. 20, 2017.
On
Jan. 25, 2018, said cooperative requested 10, 000 MT import allocation with
India as an origin. However, the financial capacity of SRT Alcala MPC can only
accommodate 3, 980 MT, thus an import volume of 3, 980 MT was allocated per
MAV-2017-Certificate of Eligibility-0313 dated Jan. 31, 2018.
On
the 2017-2018 MAV auction via Service Fee, this was approved by the NFA
Council.
Based
on the Terms of Reference, in order to acquire an import allocation, interested
importers shall bid for the required Service Fee.
This
means that the applicant for the highest Service Fee shall have the priority of
acquiring an import allocation until the quota for a certain source country,
area and classification will be exhausted.
This
process was preferred because the Council members believe that it is a very
transparent system since the bidders shall right-away see the result of the
process, in real time.
The
auction of Service Fee generated around P1.4 billion and this amount is being
held by the Land Bank of the Philippines.
On
the alleged prevention of NFA personnel from inspection and supervision over
rice imports at the ports, NFA operations managers explained that the Terms of
Contract for the 2017 NFA rice importation was Cost, Insurance, Freight,
Delivered At Place (CIF, DAP), which means that rice imports are
delivered by the supplier up to the designated NFA warehouses.
Hence,
there is no need for the presence of NFA personnel at the ports
Ex-NEDA head Habito says pursuit of rice self-sufficiency raises prices
September 27, 2018 | 11:13 pm
STRIVING for rice
self-sufficiency is expected to drive prices for the grain even higher,
according to economist and Ateneo de Manila University professor Cielito F.
Habito.
In an interview with BusinessWorld on
the sidelines of the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) forum, Mr.
Habito said: “It is our insistence of producing 100% which is making rice more
expensive because we end up tapping marginal land where it is expensive to
produce rice.”
Mr. Habito, a former economic
planning secretary, noted that Singapore is the second most food-secure country
in the world, yet imports 90% of its food requirements.
“We need to stop chasing 100%
self-sufficiency, which drives prices higher. We need to invest in other
resources like cacao, coffee, and all these exportable products,” Mr. Habito
added.
On Monday, Agriculture Secretary
Emmanuel F. Piñol announced that the National Food Authority Council approved
the importation of 750,000 metric tons (MT) of rice for this year, and standby
authority to import 1 million metric tons next year.
The 750,000 MT includes an
initially approved 250,000 MT plus an additional 500,000 MT.
According to Mr. Habito, there is
nothing wrong with this level of importation as long as the private sector is
in charge.
“Why spend public funds to
directly import rice? When private firms import they will also pay tariffs,
which means the government earns money, which will finance rice competitiveness
enhancement,” Mr. Habito said.
He also said that the directive
of President Rodrigo R. Duterte to maintain a 60-day buffer stock of rice,
which he called a “safe” level, need not all be NFA rice.
In his presentation at the forum,
Mr. Habito noted that the Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries
to climate change, and adding land planted to rice exposes the industry to
greater damage.
“The Philippines is agreed to be
the most vulnerable to climate change among ASEAN countries. We are only making
ourselves more vulnerable to disaster the more rice farmers that we have,” Mr.
Habito said.
Philippine Confederation of
Grains, Inc. president Herculano C. Co, Jr. said that the recently-approved
imports are not enough, adding that the real problem in the rice market is the
mistiming of NFA imports.
In his presentation, Mr. Co said
that the current rice crisis is similar to the state of the market in 1995.
“We never learned our lesson,”
Mr. Co said, noting that in 1995, “imports came late” and that while the
shipments did arrive they could not be unloaded because of the rains.
He said the function of the NFA
is not to compete with the private sector, but to stabilize the price of rice.
“That is not their mandate. If
the price of palay (unmilled rice) drops below P17, that’s
where the NFA comes it. When the price of rice goes up, that’s also the time
the NFA (releases inventory),” Mr. Co said.
University of the Philippines
economics professor Ramon L. Clarete said that the government should address
the NFA’s finances. The NFA has said that it was not able to procure palay as
it had used its funds to service maturing loans amounting to P5.1 billion.
Mr. Clarete also said that the
NFA has an inherent conflict of interest “as a market participant and a regulator.”
He said stabilizing food prices
is a prerequisite for industrialization.
“There can be no successful
industrialization without bringing the food cost down. Let’s translate the
direction of our policy to bringing food costs down,” according to Mr. Clarete.

Prices of commercial rice will likely go down next month because
of the arrival of additional rice imports and the start of the harvest season,
an official of the National Food Authority (NFA) said on Thursday.
NFA spokesman Rex Estoperez told reporters in an interview that
the NFA Council ordered the NFA to increase its market participation to 20
percent from 13 percent last month.
“This September, we already increased our market participation to
20 percent. From 76,000 bags a day [released in the market]we now have 128,000
bags a day. That is our participation now. We’re just waiting for the arrival
of the 250,000 metric tons of rice imports plus our inventory. By the time,
maybe prices will now go down,”
Estoperez said at the sidelines of the National Price Coordinating Council
(NPCC) monthly meeting.
For instance, the NFA official said, a kilo of commercial rice
that costs P40 to P42 per kilogram would be reduced to P37 to P39 per kilogram.
The NFA Council earlier announced the additional importation of
500,000 metric tons of rice to beef up the agency’s buffer stocks.
This volume, which is expected to arrive within the year, is on
top of the 250,000 metric tons earlier approved by the council.
According to Estoperez, the first batch of imports (250,000 metric
tons) is scheduled to arrive in November.
The terms of reference for the next 250,000 will be released next week.
“Once imports are all delivered, we will have a potential
inventory of 6 million bags. At present, we have 2.3 million bags in our
warehouses and based on our market participation, that would be good for 50
days,” Estoperez said.Earlier, the Department of Trade and Industry, the NFA
and the Philippine Amalgamated Supermarkets Association signed a tripartite
agreement allowing Pagasa-affiliated supermarkets to sell NFA rice.
Pagasa president Steven Cua said they were having a hard time
complying with NFA requirements.“To get a license to sell grains from NFA, you
have to pay P115,000 if your paid-up capital is P10 million. That shouldn’t be
the arrangement. We’re just supposed to pick up rice, why pay P115,000? That’s
way too much for us,” he added.
“For now, only one supermarket was able to sell because they
already have the license. There’s nothing we can do about it already because
the ball is in their [NFA] court. What we want is to exempt those wanting to
sell from getting a permit because by the time that we get to secure a license
the so- called perceived crisis is already over,” Cua said.
Ruth Castelo, Trade undersecretary for Consumer Protection Group,
echoed Pagasa’s call, noting that they had requested the NFA to relax its
rules.
“We really need to have more NFA rice in the market so that there
will be an effect on prices. We wish that the NFA will move faster, that they
will catch up with the pace of the needs of the consumers,” Castelo said.

The Trump administration is
betting that using the “stick” (tariffs) before the “carrot” (trade agreements)
will allow the United States to hammer out a better deal with our trading
partners when they finally meet at the negotiating table. However, in trade
wars, there are winners and losers on both sides. The retaliatory tariffs from
Europe, Canada, Mexico and China are having a boomerang effect on U.S.
companies that depend heavily upon imported goods to make their products and on
farmers who export crops. On the positive side, Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel
announced it intends to restart two shuttered blast furnaces at a southwestern
Illinois mill and bring back about 800 workers.
In March, the U.S. imposed a 25
percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum from China,
and in June imposed the same tariffs on steel and aluminum from the European
Union, Canada and Mexico. The tariffs on Europe add up to about $8 billion
annually. The EU retaliated with $3.4 billion of tariffs on a variety of U.S.
imports including bourbon, peanut butter, orange juice, playing cards and
Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson sold nearly
40,000 motorcycles in Europe last year, which was second only to the U.S. To
avoid tariffs on its European-market motorcycles, they are moving some of its
manufacturing operations to Europe.
“Harley-Davidson believes the
tremendous cost increase, if passed onto its dealers and retail customers,
would have an immediate and lasting detrimental impact to its business in the
region, reducing customer access to Harley-Davidson products and negatively
impacting the sustainability of its dealers’ businesses,” said the company in a
public filing.
While Harley-Davidson has not
announced how many layoffs would result from offshoring, the company had
already been consolidating its U.S. operations and has eliminated hundreds of
jobs. In York, Pennsylvania, where Harley-Davidson makes motorcycle engines,
the company has added personnel to its 930-worker plant.
The Trump administration is
renegotiating trade deals with Mexico and Canada outside the existing NAFTA
framework. On Aug. 27, President Trump announced the United States had made a
preliminary trade agreement with Mexico, although all the details have not been
made public. He also announced the U.S. would be negotiating a separate deal
with Canada.
“The United States has been part
of many multilateral trade agreements and NAFTA was one of them, but we walked
away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement that was about to be signed
before Trump got elected, and this signaled the beginning of a new era in U.S.
trade policy,” said Fariborz Ghadar, William A. Schreyer Professor of Global
Management Policies at The Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College and
founding director of The Center for Global Business Studies.
“President Trump’s position all
along has been that we have a national trade deficit with the world but
particularly with China, Mexico and European countries, and he was adamant that
we should try to balance our trade so that we sell as much as we buy from those
countries.
“That’s not easy to achieve,
however, because not every country has the same size economy as the United
States, and in general, the United States sells much less than we buy because
other countries like to invest in the United States and buy U.S. treasury
bills, so to achieve complete trade equilibrium where our imports and exports
with each country is probably not an achievable goal.
“However, Trump’s position on
trade is partially correct, which is that some of these countries are abusing
the trade agreements, so tariffs are what he’s using to get them to trade more
fairly.”
Ghadar said that each country has
an industry or group of industries it tries to protect. In the case of the
U.S., it is the steel and aluminum industries. With Japan, it is the rice
industry. With Canada, it is the cheese industry.
“In Japan, there are a lot of
small, family-owned rice farms, and if Japan let American rice imports in
without imposing tariffs, it would put all those rice farmers out of business,”
said Ghadar.
“So everything else is worked out
in the U.S.-Japan trade agreement, but we can’t sell rice to Japan, and we
understand that, so we let it go.”
Canada has a similar issue with
cheese imports from the U.S.
“Wisconsin makes cheese that’s
known throughout the world, and it’s right over the border from Canada, but if
they let U.S. cheese into Canada without hefty import taxes, the Canadian dairy
farmers who depend on making cheese from their milk are going to get wiped out.
“So, in this case, using a
‘stick’ is the wrong negotiating tool.”
When is using the “stick”
warranted?
“The place where using tariffs is
justified is for violating intellectual property rights, particularly in the
case of China,” said Ghadar.
“As our economy has become more
sophisticated, we no longer export raw materials such as steel and rubber, we
export Apple iPhones, routers and jet airplanes.
“China, however, is insisting
that airplane manufacturers assemble the planes in China and teach the Chinese
how to make them, so they can compete with us in airplane manufacturing.”
Chinese companies also make
numerous counterfeit products such as smart phones, luxury brand bags and
purses and even fake Hondas and BMWs.
“With no means of legal
enforcement, the issue of protecting intellectual property rights is the single
biggest hurdle for U.S. companies to overcome when thinking about entering the
Chinese market,” said Ghadar.
“The U.S. has been the flag
bearer for Europe and Japan by telling them they can’t force our companies to
come there by insisting they give them their IP rights.
“Eventually, like Japan, China
will start making their own proprietary products, and they will become
concerned with protecting their IP rights.
“China is now honoring
intellectual property rights on artificial intelligence, because they are
creating unique AI technology.
“But until the Chinese have a lot
of IP to protect, you need a big ‘stick’ to get them to respect your IP
rights.” .
Sierra Leone News: Agriculture Ministry plans
to reduce rice importation by 20% annually
Fertile rice fields key to food
security
The development of a strong
agricultural sector was identified by previous and current governments in order
to tackle food security, hunger, malnutrition and imbalances in imports of
food. In November 2017, the Global Hunger Index ranked Sierra Leone as the
third hungriest country in the world. The country is spending over $200 million
USD annually on rice importation. Most of the farmers in the country are
engaged in subsistence farming, which is not enough to provide food sufficiency
for the nation. As a way to bridge that gap, the Ministry of Agriculture
and Forestry in collaboration with the Tony Blair Institute held an interactive
session to strategically plan a national agricultural transformation that can
surmount the many challenges in the agricultural sector. According to the
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Sam K. Brima, “The Ministry aims
at reducing rice importations by 20% annually.” Sierra Leoneans have faced
serious challenges of food self-sufficiency. Dep. Minister Brima said the
national agricultural transformation strategy has four main priorities
including rice self-sufficiency and livestock development.
He mentioned that the political
will is there in order to develop the agricultural sector, which he said can be
of benefit to all Sierra Leoneans. He furthered that they held the
planning session to set the right strategy for the process. A teacher,
Joseph Sesay, said, “If the government is able to reduce the importation of
rice by 20% annually, it will add value to our own locally grown rice and the
problem of hunger in the country will dwindle.” He said there have been several
agricultural projects through the Ministry that cost billions of Leones. But,
he noted, nothing is there to show for those projects or that donor
money. MJB/12/9/18

Until a few years ago, China did
not import rice from India over food safety and quality concerns. China mainly
depended on Pakistan for the bulk of its rice imports. However, after signing
an agreement earlier this year on phytosanitary requirements, China has opened
its doors for certain varieties of Indian rice.
New Delhi (Sputnik): China has opened its doors
to Indian non-basmati rice and the first consignment of 100 tons is
to be shipped from the western Indian city of Nagpur
on Friday. The consignment will be received by China National
Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO), which is one of China's
state-owned food processing companies.
"After concerted efforts of the Government
of India, 19 rice mills and processing units have been registered
for export of non-basmati rice from India to China," a
statement issued by India's Ministry of Commerce reads.
Presently, Pakistan is the largest supplier of non-basmati
rice to China. As per Pakistan's government data, Pakistan exported
233,000 metric tons of rice valuing $83 million in the eight-month
period between July 17 and February 2018.
China had allowed imports of basmati rice from India
some years back, but there is not much demand for it in the
country. To narrow down the burgeoning trade deficit, the Indian
government had asked China to allow the import of broken white rice
by 5 percent.
The protocol between the General Administration
of Customs of the People's Republic of China and the concerned
department of India on phytosanitary requirements for exporting
rice from India to China was signed on June 9 this year at Qingdao,
China, during a visit by India Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
For years, China had declined India's request to allow
rice, as it was alleged that India's rice consignments contained
"khapra" (cabinet) beetle and were unfit for consumption.
India wants to increase exports to China with a
view to bridging its ballooning trade deficit, which has increased to
$63.12 billion in 2017-18 from $51.08 billion in the previous fiscal.
HOT ITEM Residents queue for NFA rice in
Quezon City.
Prices of
commercial rice in Nueva Ecija province have started to fall due to rice
imported by the National Food Authority (NFA) to stabilize the market.
Nueva Ecija
has been allocated 90,000 bags of rice from Thailand, which are now being
delivered to the NFA warehouses in Cabanatuan City.
As of
Thursday, commercial rice, which used to sell for P47 a kilogram, was selling
for P42 a kg, according to NFA provincial manager, Genoveva Villar.
P2 profit
But like
people lining up for cheap rice, accredited NFA retailers have been enduring
long lines to get their allocations.
Melvin de
Guzman, an NFA retailer, said vendors had to exert the effort because they did
not see how prices of commercial rice could go down to P38-P39 a kg in the
coming days.
“Traders are
buying the fresh harvest at P22 to P23 a kg,” he said.
“When
milled, the grain is sold for P44 a kg in the market,” he added.
Retailers,
he said, wanted to get the NFA allocation, which they could sell for P32 per kg
for a profit of P2.
Not a
solution
But a
network of farmers and scientists in Mindanao expressed concern over the
decision of the Department of Agriculture to import rice and other agriculture
products to solve crisis and ease supply shortage.
Leo XL
Fuentes, Mindanao regional coordinator of the group Magsasaka at Siyentipiko
para sa Pag-unlad ng Agrikultura said this “band-aid” solution would only
increase the country’s dependence on imports and threaten the country’s food
security in the long run.
Added
consumption
“If this
government is sincere, it should instead adopt a more comprehensive food
security plan,” Fuentes said.
“It must
immediately legislate genuine agrarian reform and distribute land to the
tillers and put a moratorium on land and crop conversion,” he said.
But
President Duterte made light of the crisis on Thursday when he said it was the
drug addicts on rehab who were now eating the staple.
The
President, speaking before new career executives, said his war on drugs saw the
surrender of hundreds of thousands of drug addicts who had become so thin.
Mr. Duterte
said they were thin because they were not eating and tended to grind their
teeth as a result of taking “shabu” (crystal meth).
“Now that
many have been rehabilitated, we have a rice crisis because the fools are
eating again,” he said.
“Maybe the
next time there is a crisis, you distribute shabu so the others can eat and we
can save rice for the others, especially the innocent and good ones,” he said
in jest. —REPORTS FROM MART SAMBALUD, ANSELMO ROQUE, ARMAND GALANG AND

Good news for the Indian rice
exporters as China has lifted restrictions on the import of non-basmati rice
from India. According to an official release from the Commerce Ministry, “The
first consignment of non-basmati rice of 100 tonnes will be dispatched to the
neighboring country from Nagpur on 28 September. China National Cereals, Oils
and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO) will receive the consignment. It must
be noted that COFCO is one of China's state-owned food processing holding
companies.
India since a long time has been
urging China to lift the restrictions and seeing these concerted efforts the
Chinese quality agency recently examined and registered 19 rice mills and
processing units for export.
The protocol between the
Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare of the Republic of
India and General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China
on phytosanitary requirements for exporting rice from India to China was inked
in June at Qingdao during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the
country. This made changes in the earlier protocol on phytosanitary
requirements for exporting rice from India to China to include the export of
non-basmati varieties of rice from India.
Beijing allowed imports of
Basmati rice from India a few years back but as there is not much demand for it
in the country, it had put restrictions.
BENGALURU: ITC is
entering the packaged rice segment under the Aashirvaad brand, the brand under
which it sells flour, salt, spices and instant mixes.
The maker of cigarettes to cookies is doing a pilot in Bengaluru with rice, and
doing it in a unique way. Rather than putting it on retail shelves, ITC has
decided to go door-to door, giving customers a 500 gm sona masoori rice sample.
If they like it, they can call up the company’s call centre and place a minimum
order of 25 kg, which ITC says, suffices for a south Indian family of 5 for a
month.
“There is no reason why this pilot should not work. The only thing that can
hold us back is if we fail in the product,” Hemant Malik, divisional chief
executive (foods), ITC, told TOI, adding that the company worked with the Central
Rice Research Institute to develop the rice variant.
Asked what would be considered a successful pilot, Malik said the company
expects 30 people out of every 50 it talks to in a neighbourhood to taste the
product and six of them to place an order. “If not, then I will have to worry,”
he said.
The rice market is fragmented and mostly unorganised. One of the biggest brands
is KRBL’s India
Gate. Then there’s LT Foods’ Daawat basmati
rice, Amar Singh Chawalwala’s Lal Qilla rice, and McCormick’s Kohinoor basmati
rice. ITC pegs the south India rice market alone at about Rs 1 lakh crore.
Malik said ITC is ageing the rice for at least six months. “That is when it
becomes better when you cook. If you make the rice when the paddy is fresh, it
is very soft as the starch is not ready for eating. Old rice is fluffier and
does not stick,” he said.
Based on the success of the pilot, ITC will spread to other zones and will sell
the dominant variety there. It is selling sona masoori in Bengaluru, the most
favoured rice in Karnataka, but will opt for a gobind bhog variety in West
Bengal.
Aashirvaad is ITC’s biggest foods brand and drives the sales of its
non-cigarette business. Total sales of ITC’s branded food business was Rs 8,668
crore for the fiscal ended March 31. In comparison, HUL ‘s food and refreshment
business stood at Rs 6,379 crore, Britannia’s at Rs 9,990 crore and Nestle
India’s at Rs 10,192 crore. Nestle follows a calendar year.
ITC’s foods business includes brands like Sunfeast biscuits, Bingo salted
snacks, Yippee noodles & pastas, and Kitchens of India ready-to-eat gourmet
cuisine. Earlier this month, it said it plans to launch ready-to-drink,
milkbased beverages that will compete with products from the likes of
Coca-Cola, Amul and Britannia. That product, Sunfeast Wonderz, will initially
be launched in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Haryana Rice Millers urge govt to
relax rice procurement conditions
Kaithal, Sep 28 (UNI) Haryana's Rice Millers
and Dealers Association on Friday urged the government to provide 4-5 per cent
relaxation to Rice Millers doing custom milling during the procurement,
beginning on October 1.
Amarjeet Chhabra, president of the association, said
that they have urged the government to withdraw the condition of five per cent
bank guarantee sought from the Millers, who had taken rice mills on lease to do
custom milling, as heavy rains in September had damaged the paddy crop,
affecting the quality of rice.
About 200 rice mills will be affected by this
decision, he said, adding that rice industry was already reeling under
recession and if the government failed to address their genuine demands, it
will adversely affect the market scenario and discourage the Millers from
making paddy purchases, while facing adverse market conditions.
The farmers may not get remunerative price, which may
create problems for the government.
Mr Chhabra urged Chief Minister Manohar Lal to
personally intervene to save the Rice industry, which had been earning
substantial foreign currency through exports.
Pakistan, Indonesia had agreed to
deepen trade ties. PHOTO: FILE
MULTAN: Indonesian Ambassador to Pakistan Iwan
Suyudhie Amri has said that Jakarta is working to establish a mutually
acceptable mechanism for the import of one million tons of rice from Pakistan
by 2019.
Speaking to
members of the Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) on Friday, Amri
invited local manufacturers, exporters and industrialists to take part in the
33rd Trade Expo in Indonesia, which would be held from October 24 to 28 for
promoting business ventures.
“We have
decided to grant free 30-day visa to traders and visitors from 174 countries;
registered buyers will be welcomed at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta Airport,” he
said.
Tracing
bilateral relations, he said the two countries have had friendly and cordial
ties since the inception. “However, now we should make serious efforts to
translate these relations into greater economic partnership,” he stressed.
“The volume
of bilateral trade is $2.18 billion which is far less than the existing
potential.” He was of the view that exports from Pakistan should increase by a
considerable degree.
He praised
the improved law and order situation in Pakistan, saying it would definitely
impact exports to Indonesia positively.
Pointing to
the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said it would attract foreign
investment and also benefit all regional countries.
“Indonesia is
a country with a huge population of 250 million; our domestic market is very
strong which has provided us a solid base for speedy economic growth.”
Regarding
halal food, Amri said Pakistan was quickly adopting halal food certification
which would help raise its halal product exports to Indonesia.
Earlier in
his welcome address, MCCI President Malik Asrar Ahmed Awan highlighted the
importance of the region, saying Multan contributed 96% to total production in
Punjab and 70% to the country’s production.
“It has 47%
share in wheat harvest, 23% in sugarcane, 50% in livestock and also produces
good-quality mangoes,” he said.
Awan pointed
out that trade between Pakistan and the Southeast Asian nation had been growing
strongly for the last couple of years.
The volume of
bilateral trade grew from $700 million in 2010 to $2.3 billion in 2016, up
229%.
“Pakistan is
not ready to explore Far East markets including Indonesia. Unless our exporters
go for innovation and branding, the situation is not going to change,” said
Awan.
Published in The Express Tribune, September 29th,
2018
Indonesian Ambassador in Pakistan Iwan Suyudhie Amri said on
Thursday that an agreement would soon be signed to export one million tonnes of
rice from Pakistan to Indonesia by 2019.
He said work was underway to devise a mutually acceptable mechanism. Addressing
the members of Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI), he invited the
local manufacturers, exporters and industrialists to take part in 33rd Trade
Expo in Indonesia to be held from Oct 24 to 28 to promote business.
He further revealed that his country had decided to grant 30-day free visa to
the traders and visitors from 174 countries for the expo.
Tracing the relations between the two countries, he said that it was friendly
and cordial since the inception of two countries. “However, now we should make
serious efforts to translate these relations into economic terms.
He said that volume of bilateral trade between the two countries is 2.18
billion dollars which is far less than the existing potential. He further said
that law and order situation has improved in Pakistan and it will definitely
have positive impact on its exports to Indonesia.
Regarding CPEC, he said that it will attract foreign investment and all
regional countries will enjoy its benefits. He said that Indonesia is a country
with huge population of 250 million.
"Our domestic market is very strong which has provided us a solid base for
speedy economic growth," he added. Regarding Halal food, he said, Pakistan
is speedily undertaking the process of Halal food certification which will help
it make maximum Halal exports to the Indonesia.
Commenting on people to people contacts, he said that Indonesia is offering
scholarships to Pakistani students which will bring both the communities closer
to each other.
Responding to a question about health and education related reforms, he said
that Indonesia has allocated 20 percent of its budget for education as
elementary level education is free. Similarly, cross subsidy is offered in
health sector.
The rich are charged while the poor are getting free treatment. He hoped that
the system will be further improved in the coming years.
He also assured to remove the hurdles in the export of rock salt from Pakistan
to Indonesia.
He paid glowing tribute to deceased former Ambassador of Indonesia Burhan
Muhammad who worked hard to bolster the bilateral relations between the two
counties.
Earlier in his address of welcome, Malik Asrar Ahmed Awan, President of MCCI,
underlined the importance of the region and said it shares 96 percent of total
production of Punjab province and 70 % of the country. He said 47 % wheat, 23 %
sugarcane, 50% livestock, and it produces good quality of mangoes.
He said that trade between Pakistan and the Southeast Asian giant has been
growing strongly for the last couple of years. The volume of bilateral trade
grew from $700 million in 2010 to $2.3 billion in 2016, up 229%, he said.
“Pakistan’s problem is that it is not ready to explore far-eastern markets,
including Indonesia. Unless our exporters go for innovation and branding, the
situation is not going to change,” said Malik Asrar Ahmed.
The two countries signed the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement
(CEPA) in 2005 and the preferential trade agreement (PTA) in 2012, which became
operational in 2013.
Indonesia’s exports to Pakistan increased from $1.2 billion in 2012 to $2.2
billion in 2016-17 while Pakistan’s exports to Indonesia unfortunately declined
from $196 million to $137 million.
Pakistan’s major exports to Indonesia include textiles and clothing, rice,
vegetables and fruits (mainly oranges) while its major import item from
Indonesia is palm oil.
MULTAN: Indonesia has expressed keenness to buy one million tons of rice
from Pakistan, said its Ambassador to Pakistan Iwan Suyudhie Amri.

there is no threat to the lucrative Panama market for Guyana’s rice.
He mentioned that the political
will is there in order to develop the agricultural sector, which he said can be
of benefit to all Sierra Leoneans. He furthered that they held the
planning session to set the right strategy for the process. A teacher,
Joseph Sesay, said, “If the government is able to reduce the importation of
rice by 20% annually, it will add value to our own locally grown rice and the
problem of hunger in the country will dwindle.” He said there have been several
agricultural projects through the Ministry that cost billions of Leones. But,
he noted, nothing is there to show for those projects or that donor
money. MJB/12/9/18

its doors for certain varieties of Indian rice.
