top rice exporter crown in Q1

REPORTERS
Thailand
topped the list of the world’s biggest rice exporters in the first quarter,
shipping 2.85 million tonnes of the grain, a 34% year-on-year increase.The Thai
Rice Exporters Association said Friday that the 44 billion baht in rice exports
marked a 23% increase in value over the same period in 2015.By comparison,
India shipped 2.3 million tonnes of rice from January-March while Vietnam
exported 1.4 million tonnes, Pakistan 1.3 million tonnes and 820,000 tonnes by
the United States.However, Vietnamese customs data released on Wednesday showed
the world's No.3 rice exporter shipped 1.55 million tonnes. The country said it
expects second-quarter exports to top 1.6 million tonnes.
India's
export volume was estimated to have risen 2% in the quarter, while that of
Vietnam rose by 58% and 4% by the US. Pakistan's export volume dropped 9%.In
the first quarter, the five biggest buyers of Thai rice were Indonesia (317,100
tonnes, an 877% annual increase), Ivory Coast (272,354 tonnes, up 86%), Benin
(266,246 tonnes, up 426%), China (257,708 tonnes, up 86%) and Cameroon (191,846
tonnes, up 251%).In March alone, the country exported 990,864 tonnes of rice
worth 15.2 billion baht, rising 26% by volume and 17% by value year-on-year. In
the month, exporters delivered white rice to governments in China, Indonesia and
the Philippines and broken rice to African nations.The association estimated
the rice export at 700,000-750,000 tonnes in April due to the Songkran
holidays.Without government-to-government rice deals, rice sales in traditional
markets did not increase much because the purchasing power of African countries
remains low, the association said.

UK Promotion a Big
Success for U.S. Rice
LONDON, UK -- Earlier this
month, U.S. rice brand Peacock Easy Cook Rice, from S&B Herba Foods, was
featured at a Trade Day promotion conducted at Wanis, one of the UK's largest
international foods wholesalers that caters to the country's growing Afro-Caribbean
market. Trade Day is a special event at the store where hundreds of
customers have the opportunity to sample the many new and different products
being promoted.Trade Day shoppers lined up to try a range of dishes featuring
Peacock Easy Cook Rice prepared on-site by Chef Gayle Love. Gayle's
flamboyant personality and enthusiasm proved to be the perfect combination to
demonstrate the compatibility of U.S. rice with Afro-Caribbean cooking styles.
"Chef Gayle cooked a number of
different dishes featuring Peacock Easy Cook Rice and everyone was impressed at
how well our rice worked with that cuisine," said S&B Herba Foods
Sales Director Peter Walker. "Chef Gayle was a big hit and really
brought the Trade Day to life.""This year's Wanis Trade Day was so successful
we had to re-order stock to cover the orders taken," Walker said.
"We had orders for over 50MT making it one of the most successful
promotions we've had."
Should You Be Eating Black Rice?
There’s a new superfood in town: black rice, aka “forbidden
rice." Now even Walmart carries the stuff, which first made a spash in
2010 when a studysuggested
that it packs as many antioxidants as blueberries. But is it worth the hype?
To find an answer, you’ll need to compare it to other grains,
starting with brown rice: “Black has a nutrition profile that’s very similar to
brown rice,” says nutritionist Jessica Cording. “They both provide fiber and some iron, but black rice has more
vitamin E in it, which is an important fat-soluble vitamin.” (Meaning you need
to pair it with a source of fat like avocados or olive oil in order for your
body to absorb it.)
Antioxidant vitamin E helps prevent cell damage in the body,
protects eyesight, and boosts the immune system, some research
suggests. In addition, a study on mice suggests black rice might have anti-inflammatory
benefits, and it has a similar fiber content but fewer calories than brown
rice, roughly 160 per serving compared to a little over 200 in brown, Cording
says.But where black rice really stands out is its anthocyanin content. In case
you didn’t know, that’s one of the most powerful types of antioxidants, that
may play a role in promoting good health.
“The bran hull of black rice contains one of the highest levels of
anthocyanin, found in food,” says Wesley Delbridge, a nutritionist and spokesman for
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This pigment is the same stuff
that gives blueberries its color and black rice its rich, deep hue. “What sets
it apart from brown rice is this high concentration of anthocyanin pigments,
which are fantastic antioxidants.” Not everyone agrees what it does and how it
does it. These compounds are also the possible mechanism behind black
rice’s apparent ability to reduce cholesterol levels, according to a 2013 studypublished in Food & Function.
“Black rice, along with red and purple rice, have significantly
more antioxidants than white rice and have been shown to improve cholesterol
profiles,” says nutritionist Julieanna Hever, author
of The Vegiterranean Diet.
“However, these studies have been done in a lab and haven’t yet been tested in
humans.”Experts say that even in terms of antioxidants, many of those compounds
work differently in the body, so it’s best to get a wide variety, as it is for
food in general.“Overall, black rice, like brown, has a higher fiber content
than white rice, which means it is digested slower and adds more soluble fiber
to the diet, which can lower cholesterol,” Delbridge says. “It has a little
more protein and iron than brown rice.”
It's worth noting that like brown rice, black rice will have
higher arsenic levels than white if they're grown in contaminated soils. To be
safe, be sure to cook it with a higher water-to-rice ratio (arsenic is water
soluble) and avoid rice grown in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and China.

Shawarma Co. leaves lasting impression through
fantastic service, fresh ingredients
Shawarma Co. in the Forest Village lets you cook with fresh
vegetables and delicious meat
Fresh vegetables and delicious meat cooked to juicy tenderness
already sounds like a great deal, and there are some places willing to let you
use those wonderful ingredients to create your own perfect dish.One such
restaurant is Shawarma Co. in the Forest Village shopping center near the
junction of Carolina Forest Boulevard and River Oaks Drive.Mediterranean-based
and relatively young, this eatery has been working hard to provide quality food
in a flexible manner while also hoping to encourage healthy eating. For the
people who love this cuisine, healthy eating really doesn’t seem bad at
all.Shawarma Co. does offer specialties for guests to choose from, such as lamb
shish kabob, combination platters, and a vegetarian plate. Each meal comes with
basmati rice, a house salad, pita bread, and an additional side to select, so
there is more than enough food to enjoy.
However, those who prefer Mediterranean food a certain way will
find it’s easy to create a dish all their own. There are four steps in this
process, starting with a base – either pita, basmati rice, or a salad
bowl.Next, guests can pick what kind of protein they’d like, such as chicken,
beef, or falafel. Then there is a selection of fresh toppings, including the
restaurant’s homemade tzatziki sauce. Finally, customers decide on a side to go
with the unique meal, like stuffed grape leaves or cucumber salad.
There are a few more sides that cost extra, but if you’re a fan of
hummus or spanakopita then be sure to at least review the options. Homemade
sweets like baklava and rice pudding are available if there is someone who
still has some room to satisfy their sweet tooth.The shawarma carved off
the slab is delightfully tender, as
is the lamb shank that falls of the bone as advertised. Just like most of their
food, the falafel and stuffed grape leaves are made in house and with all the
flavor one would expect.Even some of the drinks are freshly made, such as their
lemonade and Turkish coffee. The coffee comes the size of an espresso shot but
the finely ground beans are simmered with sugar which keeps this little glass
of energy from being too bitter.Shawarma Co. is a diligent and productive
restaurant doing its best to provide healthy and fresh food for its clientele,
no matter if they are dining in, utilizing the drive-thru, or having their
meals delivered. These dedicated and friendly workers also provide catering
services for any type of event.Mediterranean cuisine is a combination of food
from different countries that all have deliciousness in common. Shawarma Co.
adds to this already amazing culture fantastic service, fresh ingredients, and
the chance for customers to craft a meal to suit their tastes, all-in-all
leaving a lasting impression.

Soaring youth appetite triples demand for rice
Date: April 29, 2016
The
country’s rice production has tripled in the last seven years and outstripped
demand thanks to increased consumption by the youth. Despite the rise in
production, which stands at close to 150,000 metric tonnes annually, the
country is yet to meet its demand of an estimated 540,000 metric tonnes
annually.According to the Agriculture ministry Principal secretary Dr Richard
Lesiyampe, rice production rose from 50,000 metric tonnes in 2008 to 149,661
tonnes last year. He, however, said free market policies had allowed the
flooding of cheap rice imports in the market to the detriment of local
farmers.“The government is committed to increasing rice production to reduce
pressure on maize which is the country’s staple food,” he said.
This was
contained in a speech read on his behalf by Kenya Agricultural and Livestock
Research Organisation (Kalro) deputy director Felister Makini during the
national rice stakeholders’ forum held in Naivasha today.During the function,
the revised national rice development strategy was launched. Lesiyampe said the
government through the National Irrigation Board (NIB) is committed to reviving
collapsed irrigation schemes. The PS praised the Nerica rice variety because of
high stress tolerance and produced exemplary yields with minimal
irrigation.“Currently, there are 260.8 metric tonnes of Nerica variety and 520
metirc tonnes of irrigated varieties with Kenya Seed Company and NIB
respectively,” he said. Lesiyampe said inadequate irrigation infrastructure,
low mechanisation, inadequate skills and low access to market are some of the
challenges facing the sub-sector.
“Despite
the challenges experienced by farmers, the rice sub-sector is on a dynamic
growth path courtesy of the many interventions by the government,” he said. On
his part, Kazuhiro Tambara from Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA)
said the country has the potential to produce more rice and avoid
importation.“We are currently supporting the country in efficient ways of
cultivation, research and improvement of infrastructure in rice growing
regions,” he said. Coalition for African Rice Development (Card) general
coordinator Takanori Satoyama called for more involvement of private sector in
rice growing.He said that the coalition, which was working in 23 countries
including Kenya is committed to doubling rice production between 2008 and 2018.
“Kenya has high potential of rice production mainly in Mwea and Ahero areas but
what is lacking is technological support,” he said.

Rice Comment
Rice ended the week on a positive
note, but did not challenge the highs set earlier in the week. May failed at
the 62% retracement objective of $11.16 on Tuesday. Weekly exports were only 31,700 metric tons this
week, down from 121,300 metric tons last week. The market will be watching crop
progress closely. If farmers plant what they reported to USDA in the survey,
the large crop will limit the upside potential. Currently, USDA says 62% of the
crop in the ground and 38% emerged. In Arkansas, the totals are 75% planted and
40% emerged, so Arkansas farmers made lots of progress in a week’s time.
Chinese know-how contributes to
better rice in Namibia
WINDHOEK, (Xinhua) -- The only national rice research
center in Namibia was facing challenges but a team of Chinese experts has
brought them solutions they needed.The Kalimbeza Rice Research and Production
Station, in the northeast, had wanted to improve the quality of rice in the
country but was constrained by a lack of equipment and know-how.The situation
has drastically changed since the Chinese agricultural experts came here in
April, 2015 to conduct a two-year know-how transfer program, said farm manager
of Kalimbeza rice project, Patrick Kompeli.“The Chinese have assisted workers
at the project in some areas where we lacked knowledge and experience, and so
far four counterparts have benefited from this program, of which they will
later impart their acquired knowledge onto other Namibians,” Kompeli said.
In
the past, all field operations in the center were done manually, such as
transplanting, harvesting and sorting of rice.The government first addressed
the lack of equipment shortly before the experts arrived.“The government
managed to acquire some machinery such as rice combine harvester, rice
processing machine, rice trans-planters,” Kompeli said.Then it turned to the
Chinese experts to address the expertise problems.“The experts have shared
knowledge with us, on how to prepare the rice nursery, how to treat seeds with
chlorine to control diseases, and how seeds are pre-germinated before being
sowed in the seedling trays, as well as how to prepare the seedlings for
mechanical transplanting,” Kompeli said.He further said the experts had
imparted their knowledge on how to level the paddy with the wooden pole to
distribute water equally in the field and how to prepare land for seed
broadcast, which is vital in rice production.With the equipment and the Chinese
expertise, rice production in the center has soured from four hectares in 2007
to 70 hectares in 2015.The Kalimbeza Rice has become popular and is being sold
commercially across the country.
