Floods Reduce Pakistan Rice Production to 8.44 Million Tons, Down Nearly 20%
from Last Year, Says SUPARCO
Jan
15, 2015
The Pakistan Space and Upper
Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has estimated in its latest report
that Pakistan FY 2014-15 (July - June) paddy rice production will reach at
about 8.437 million tons (about 5.65 million tons, basis milled), down about
19% from about 10.04 million tons (about 6.72 million tons, basis milled)
produced last year.The report said that the rice production mainly declined due
to floods that hit the main rice producing state, Punjab, in the month of
August. About 217,000 tons of paddy is said to be lost in the Punjab state,
according to the report.
According to the report, Pakistan's rice acreage has estimated
at about 3.29 million hectares and yield is estimated at about 2.57 tons paddy
per hectare in FY2014-15.In December 2014, the average basmati paddy rice
prices stand at about Rs.3,000 per 40 kilogram (about $757 per ton, using
current exchange rate) and average price for IRRI paddy stand at about
Rs.700-750 per 40 kilogram (about $178 - $189 per ton, using current exchange
rate), according to the report.
CAP
Policy to Cut EU Funds for Italian Rice Farmers
Jan
15, 2015
Rice for risotto may get a bit
more expensive. EU funds for Italian rice farmers will be declining under the
region’s current CAP policy. The exact amount has been illustrated by Enrico
Losi of Ente Nazionale Risi, the National agency for rice, in the annual
meeting with farmers held in Novara this week. The general trend is that
all the contributions will be reduced within 2020: as for rice farming, the
situation could be worse than the current result, according to the agency. The
Italian Government decided to support the sector, introducing again direct help
for about 100 euros (about $ 117) per hectare; so, he added, the situation
seems less dire than it could be.The summing up of direct payment and general
contributes from CAP varies if the company has always grown just rice, or grown
rice along with other crops, or has never grown rice, and decides to start
growing it in 2015.

per ton). The other grains finished lower, led by steep losses in soy products;
Soybeans closed about 1.8% lower at $9.9100 per bushel; wheat finished about
0.93% lower at $5.3275 per bushel, and corn finished the day about 0.3% lower

A
Japanese Take on Chinese Fried Rice
Jan
15, 2015
Fried rice is a delicious staple
enjoyed around the world. The Japanese have their own take on Chinese fried
rice that is a lighter version cooked in an electric rice cooker rather than an
oiled wok. The magic ingredient is Weipa, a fried rice condiment that is
popular in the Japanese interpretation of Chinese food. Weipa is a Chinese soup
stock/mix, or bouillon, made of vegetable and animal proteins. You can find
Weipa at many Chinese supermarkets.
What You Need:
2 cups of rice
1 tablespoon of Weipa
1/2 a leek
Other veggies, like carrots or
mushrooms – consider leftovers hanging out in your fridge or whatever is in
season
Ginger (optional)
What You Do:
Slice the ginger and dice the
leek into bite-size pieces.
Put the rice and the appropriate
amount of water (consult your rice cooker’s instructions) in the rice cooker.
Add all other ingredients
(ginger, leek, veggies, and Weipa).
Turn on the rice cooker.
You’ll have a rich dish of fried
rice in no time!
Note: If you’re feeling
adventurous or just want to change things up, consider adding some sesame oil
or egg to the rice when it’s finished for a more complex flavor.
