Anna Coker:
Farmer’s daughter carving career path in ag research
The
research Anna Coker is conducting comparing normalized difference vegetation
index readings taken from unmanned aerial vehicles versus readings taken with a
handheld sensor will one day allow farmers to obtain mid-year nitrogen
requirements faster and more accuratelyFrom driving tractors and planting crops, to punching
holes in poly-pipe and shoveling levee gates, Anna Coker became a farmer — and
much more.
Anna Coker grew up a farmer’s
daughter. Although she spent her childhood in proximity to rice fields around
Stuttgart, Ark., she never considered a career in agriculture until 2014 when
her uncle, Mike Hill, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of
brain cancer.
That is when she became the
newest employee of Coker Farms. “My dad, along with other farmers in the area,
immediately began taking care of my uncle’s crops, in addition to their own,”
says Coker, who today holds an undergraduate degree in Crop, Soil, and
Environmental Sciences from the University of Arkansas and is currently working
toward her master’s degree in that same discipline at Louisiana State
University.
Over the next few years, Coker
began seeing the broad-brush strokes agriculture painted on the world outside
of her hometown. “To that point in my life, my interests revolved around
school, friends, and having fun,” says Coker. “I knew my dad farmed each
day, but after my uncle’s diagnosis, I began to understand that I was part of
something so much bigger than I had ever imagined.”
When she worked in the fields,
everything she learned, she learned hands-on. From driving tractors and
planting crops, to punching holes in poly-pipe and shoveling levee gates, Anna
Coker became a farmer — and much more. “Life threw us a curve ball, but it
taught me how to be completely selfless when someone close needs help,” adds
Coker.
She began absorbing everything
around her related to agriculture, and more importantly in the process, she
developed a strong and enduring bond with her father many daughters are not
lucky enough to experience. “Dad always told me I’d never have to work a day in
my life if I woke up each morning to something I loved,” she remembers. “It was
that defining moment in my life when I realized pursuing a career in
agriculture would give me an opportunity to contribute to a profession in which
my family has deep roots.”
College and Research
She enrolled at the University of
Arkansas and after her time there, headed to Baton Rouge and Louisiana State
University. She soon passed the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 107
Aeronautical Knowledge Test and became a licensed drone pilot.
She showcased her latest research
at this year’s H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station Field Day in Rayne, La.,
which involves comparing Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI) readings
obtained from a handheld GreenSeeker sensor versus gathering that data from an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to estimate rice grain yield potential. To
accurately estimate the midseason nitrogen rates in rice and produce a working
predictive algorithm, Coker had to know three things: (1) The rice variety’s
yield potential; (2) Response Index; and (3) Rice response to nitrogen
fertilization.
NDVI is the accepted indicator of
yield potential in rice, and until now, the GreenSeeker has been the most
commonly used sensor technology to gather that data.
“It would obviously be more efficient
if researchers, consultants, and/or farmers could obtain this information by
using a UAV rather than by having to trudge through a flooded rice field in the
heat of the day with a hand-held sensor,” says Coker. “If I can illustrate the
potential to accurately map a rice field’s variability with a UAV, that will go
a long way toward obtaining midseason nitrogen application recommendations more
expeditiously.”
At the very least Coker hopes
this specific project will be a stepping stone to determining nitrogen rates on
a full-scale field level via a UAV, compared to single point-to-point readings
taken from handheld sensors.
Variables have the potential to
impact any research, and Coker’s research is no different. The UAV-mounted
sensor depends on a passive light source — the sun, which varies in its angle
of incident light (reflected light), cloud cover, and light intensity. The
camera she uses on the UAV is equipped with a “normalizing sunshine sensor” to
stabilize the sunlight so readings will be more consistent.
NDVI measurements were taken
between panicle initiation and panicle differentiation at two separate
locations in 2017 and 2018. “I accumulated more data this year than last, and
I’m hoping to show improved accuracy from the UAV,” adds Coker. “If I can prove
this is a reliable method of gauging nitrogen needs in rice, it will save
growers money from overapplying fertilizer while allowing them to make more
timely decisions.”
Coker is currently an understudy
for Dr. Dustin Harrell, Agronomy and Environmental Management, at the LSU
AgCenter. “As technology in agriculture continues to evolve and improve, we
will need a generation of researchers that not only know how to utilize these
technologies to gather field data, but more importantly, how to interpret that
data and derive pertinent agronomic recommendations based on it,” says Harrell.
“That is an area where Anna excels.”
Down the Road
Coker plans to continue her
education and hopes to pursue her doctorate after receiving her master’s
degree. “I believe obtaining all the education I can will increase my
confidence and ability to handle whatever I face in the future as I continue my
career in agriculture,” adds Coker. “I’m not sure what career path I will take
in agriculture, but I want to be prepared for it.”
Like so many people involved in
agriculture, Coker has witnessed the lack of knowledge or appreciation people
outside of agriculture have about how their food and fiber are produced. In
pure Anna Coker style, she is currently starting an agricultural blog to
showcase the many personal stories from farmers, rice mills, researchers,
consultants, and others. “I want to cut on an ag educational light, of sorts,
for those that have misconceptions about agriculture,” says Coker.
Most of her family reside in the
same Stuttgart neighborhood, and live within walking distance of each other.
While she has been at college, Coker has missed the family togetherness. Her
father farms around 6,500 acres of corn, soybeans, and rice. Her family also
manages Dry Lake Hunting Service, a commercial duck hunting operation outside
of Stuttgart — the self-proclaimed rice and duck hunting capital of the world.
During a recent phone
conversation with her father, they began reminiscing about the time Anna
started helping on the farm. “Dad would post pictures of me on Instagram while
I drove a tractor or sloshed through flooded rice fields,” laughs Coker. “He
would always include the same hashtag: #collegegirlcountrygirl.”
Anna Coker is proud to live up to
that hashtag every day.
Ratooning: Nuclear technology
helps Chinese rice farmers double their yields—and their incomes
Nancy Hart | International Atomic Energy
Agency | August 3, 2018
Just as grass lawns regrow after they are mowed, rice fields can
regrow after they are harvested. This second harvest – known as a ratoon crop –
has traditionally yielded only a small fraction of the first harvest. But
farmers in China are now benefitting from laboratory and field studies …. that
used nuclear techniques to determine the best rice varieties and the best
fertilizer regimes for increasing second harvest yields, often resulting in second
harvests as large as the first – meaning the farmers who ratoon correctly are
doubling their yields – and their income.
…
[Scientists] began working on
improving the outcome of rice ratooning – also called “stubble cropping” – in
China’s Fujian Province in 2012. This included studying fertilizer and water
management practices for Jiafuzhan, an early maturing rice variety developed by
Chinese plant mutation breeders.
…
In addition to working with
China’s mutation breeders to develop and promote climate-resilient early-yield
varieties, [researchers] used nitrogen-15 stable isotope tracing to determine
the optimum application rate for nitrogen fertilizers.
…
[F]armers who adopted the
combination of improved varieties and fertilizer management saw yields almost
double from 6.7 to 12.3 tonnes per hectare …. Once the results were known,
other farmers were eager to adopt the improved varieties and fertilizer
management practices, and now ratooning is underway on 42 000 ha.
Chinese
experts to train 40 Pakistani scientists on hybrid rice
Agencies Aug 2, 2018
ISLAMABAD:
A group of Chinese hybrid rice experts would be arriving in Pakistan next month
(in September) to impart training to Pakistani scientists for the promotion and
development of hybrid seed verities across the crop sowing areas of the country
to boost local output.
In first phase a batch of 40 scientists
selected all across the country would be trained to promote and develop the
hybrid rice production technology in the country, said Member Plant Science of
the Pakistan Agriculture Research Council (PARC) Dr Muhammad Yousuf.
In an interview with state-run wire service, he
said that Pakistan and Chinese Government had signed a memorandum of
understanding for the promotion of hybrid rice verities in Pakistan as well as
capacity building of local scientists in field of hybrid rice.
Under the agreement, he said that 28 scientists
all across the country were selected for the training programme and they had
completed their training form China and now they were extending their services
for the promotion and development of hybrid rice seed in the country.
He said that hybrid rice cultivation across the
crop sowing areas during current season had registered significant increase and
it is expected that the trend of hybrid rice seed would gain momentum during
the next season.
“Hybrid rice had been cultivated over 800,000
hectares of land across the crop producing areas of the country, which was a
healthy trend and give boost to the local output of the rice”, he added.
The area under hybrid rice production was
gradually increasing and it was phasing-out the trend of conventional seed,
adding that it would help in boosting the local output that would also result
in enhancing the exports and fetch more foreign exchange for economic development

Rice Stewardship Summit Looks Back Proudly and Ahead with
Determination
ST. LOUIS, MO -- USA Rice,
Ducks Unlimited, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and
financial partners came together here this week to celebrate the Rice
Stewardship Partnership's first five years and set goals for the next five
years. The Partnership was formed in 2013 when USA Rice and Ducks
Unlimited joined forces to magnify conservation impacts vital to the future of
rice production and wetland habitat, and it has grown significantly with new
partners and supporters.
The program kicked off with greetings from Nestlé Purina's Vice President of Government Relations Bill Salzman and Senior Manager of Sustainability Diane Herndon. Pet food giant Nestlé Purina recently became a Stewardship program partner, committing $2 million over the next four years to support the programs.
Dale Hall, CEO of Ducks Unlimited, and USA Rice President & CEO Betsy Ward then shared some of the Partnership's top accomplishments of the past five years including creating a field team of more than 20 knowledgeable and dedicated staff serving rice producers around the country, and spreading conservation financial assistance to more than 1,000 farms covering more than three quarters of a million acres through 2023.
"Farmers are good stewards of the land, and we need to ensure conservation practices are economically sustainable for them," said Hall. "Collectively, Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) awards have, or will soon, provide a total of more than $85 million in financial assistance for conserving water and wildlife resources in rice country. Because of the tremendous leadership by NRCS and the support we received through RCPP, rice growers across the United States are maintaining critical habitat for millions of migratory birds."
The summit also included sustainability updates from stakeholders including Anheuser-Busch, BASF, Corteva, Delta Plastics, Field to Market, Mosaic, Nestlé Purina, Riceland Foods, and RiceTec, Inc.
Rice producers, including those in the Partnership's Beginning Farmers Program like Lawrence Wagner of Mississippi, Wes Simon of Louisiana, and Ryan and Gavin Sullivan of Arkansas, shared their experiences with the RCPP programs and how their farms have been positively impacted through participation. All expressed the sentiment that these types of conservation programs are imperative for the nation's rice producers.
"USA Rice can do so much more for the rice industry by investing time and resources in partnerships," said Ward. "The Rice Stewardship Partnership is a perfect example of leveraging a common goal between different stakeholders to advance sustainability at the farm level through new and innovative conservation practices. I can't wait to see what the next five years will bring."

India rice rates up on monsoon lull; flood threat looms in
Thailand, Vietnam
AUGUST 2, 2018
·
BENGALURU (Reuters) - Rice prices
in top exporter India rose this week on concerns of lower production due to
below-normal rainfall, while traders in Thailand and Vietnam kept a close eye
on the possibility of flooding in major rice growing regions.
Thailand’s benchmark 5 percent broken rice rose slightly to
$385-$393 per tonne this week free on board (FOB) Bangkok, from $380-$385 last
week on a stronger bhat, but demand remained flat, traders said.“There is
interest from markets like the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, without any
deals ... If prices remain low, these might turn into deals,” a Bangkok-based
rice trader said.Thailand is in the middle of harvesting its off-season crops.
But, heavy rainfall has increased the risk of flooding, which could pressure
supplies.Traders are also keeping an eye on the water levels at 11 major dams,
including several located upstream to the rice bowl in central Thailand, which
have risen to near their storage limit.Authorities, however, have stressed that
flooding is not imminent.
“If the release of water results in prolonged flooding, then it
could damage crops and increase prices,” another trader said.In Vietnam, rates
for 5 percent broken rice were $385-$395 a tonne, versus $390-$395 a week ago.“Trade
is quiet as we are focusing on delivering the deals signed before,” a Ho Chi Minh
City-based trader said.“Flood water is rising in the Mekong Delta, prompting
farmers to speed up their harvest of the summer-autumn crop.”Government
officials said on Wednesday floods from a burst dam in Laos had inundated
thousands of hectares of paddy fields in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s rice bowl,
although the damage is limited and not expected to affect the country’s export
crop.Farmers in the delta provinces have planted more than 1.69 million
hectares of rice for the summer-autumn crop, government data showed.

same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This is
exactly what we had been doing for decades by restricting importation of rice
to supposedly protect farmers, who, however, remained poor as ever.
Not only that… rice consumers end up paying for rather expensive
rice… fueling labor discontent and making our labor cost more expensive than in
neighboring countries. That’s what you call getting the worst of both worlds.
President Duterte promised change, but change is slow to get
here. It is getting mired in the morass created by vested interests in and out
of government.
But there is a better than even chance that change in
government’s rice policy is about to happen. Political noise generated by
unexpectedly high inflation numbers is making the national leadership realize
that change is urgently needed.
It helps a lot too that the economic managers are for it. Newly
installed House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, an economist, promised to
prioritize it. It is an obvious step to take to help relieve political pressure
over rising food prices, specially for rice.
For a while, it seemed President Duterte sided with the
leadership of NFA. That’s one government agency perceived to have been captured
by vested interests. NFA also has a reputation for corruption.
Decent policy makers were shocked when the President relieved
Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. as chairman of the NFA Board instead of
the administrator of the NFA. Noted for his clean record as a public servant,
Evasco favored lifting the quantitative restriction on rice imports and ending
the import monopoly of the NFA. This is the exact prescription of government
economists and the President’s economic managers.
The DOF asserts a 35 percent import tariff on rice in lieu
of restricting rice import volumes would encourage private traders to bring the
staple into the country, allowing cheaper rice to enter the domestic market.
Reduced rice prices would benefit poor households which spend at
least 20 percent of their budget on rice, the DOF said, citing studies done by
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
Bringing down rice prices is crucial to poverty reduction. The
price of this staple is a major driver of inflation, according to DOF
Undersecretary Gil Beltran. Farmers can be given more direct support from funds
to be raised by the 35 per cent tariff on rice imports.
According to results of a simulation conducted by Roehlano
Briones and Lovely Ann Tolin of the Philippine Institute of Development Studies
(PIDS), the retail price of rice will drop by as much as P6.97 per kilogram.
The study was done in 2015 when rice was retailing at P32 per
kilo. The cost savings for consumers should be much more today with the retail
price at P42 per kilo.
But the farmgate price of palay (unhusked rice) will go
down by as much as P4.56 per kilogram which translates to a decline of income
of P18,240 per hectare for the average rice farmer. Rice farmers who cannot
compete with the imported rice will have to plant some other crops for their
livelihood.
Dr. Emil Q. Javier, an internationally recognized agriculture
expert, has called for a drastic shift of policy from rice self-sufficiency to
raising farmers’ income as the primary objective. Rice self-sufficiency, Dr
Javier said, while physically attainable, does not address the larger more
pervasive problem of poverty in the countryside.
“Better that we divert the not-so productive rice areas into
other higher value crops (crop diversification and multiple cropping). We will
produce less rice, but the additional gross value added from other crops will
more than make up for the rice shortfall.”
Dr. Javier pointed out that local cost of producing palay is P13
per kilogram. We have to bring it down to P8-to P9 per kilogram to be
able to compete with imports. We need to increase yields to six or even 10 tons
per hectare, which can be achieved with hybrids to improve productivity.
Rainfed lowland and upland rice fields whose yields are low are better
diverted into other higher value crops like vegetables, fruits, legumes and
even ornamentals and herbal crops, Dr. Javier suggested.
“Provided markets are assured for other crops, diversified farms
may turn out to be more profitable than double-cropped irrigated rice farms.”
Dr. Javier knows what he speaks of. He had directed work in
Taiwan on vegetable research and development that brought about Taiwan’s
successful vegetable export industry.But because crop diversification will take
years to successfully install and their benefits felt, displaced rice farmers
should be helped to adjust to the new market regime.Dr. Javier observed that
“the conventional approaches of market support, government procurement,
fertilizer and seed subsidies and, provision of farm equipment are costly,
wasteful, and prone to corruption (i.e. over pricing, ghost deliveries, ghost
farmers)…
“Better that the actual rice tillers receive cash directly and
for them to invest the money in their farms and in other sources of livelihood,
or for consumption as they see fit…
“However, the farmers should be weaned away from the payments
after a maximum of say 10 years. The payments to the rice farmers will be
sourced from rice tariffs which are projected to amount to P27-to P28-billion
per year by 2022.”The ball is now in Speaker Arroyo’s court. But let us not
underestimate the ability and determination of the rent seekers who have
benefited from the current system to preserve the status quo to the
disadvantage of both rice farmers and rice consumers.Finally adopting a rice
policy change that’s long overdue is a test of this administration’s political
will.Boo Chanco’s e-mail address is bchanco@gmail.com.

New rice research facility to
open in Stuttgart
by August 2, 2018 11:46 am
A lack of rain, and night
temperatures can have an impact on the quality of rice at this point in the
growing season. A new research greenhouse will be opened Thursday (Aug. 2) in
Stuttgart to study how to deal with this problem, according to the University
of Arkansas Division of Agriculture.The $1.88 million 40-feet by 80-feet
facility was paid for by the Arkansas Rice Research and Promotion Board.
In 2017, rice growers and other stakeholders came together and
decided the problems caused by high night temperatures in rice had to be
tackled, rice agronomist Jarrod Hardke said. Researchers will use the
greenhouse to breed hybrid and conventional rice that is more tolerant to those
conditions.
Researchers will be able to control the temperature, light
intensity, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, the length of day and other
variables. The project will take five years to complete and is sponsored by the
ARRP.
Dry conditions this growing season have hampered rice growing
efforts. High daytime temperatures coupled with consistently higher than normal
night temperatures have made this season difficult, he added.
“If we don’t see more rain soon, we will absolutely see growers
who run out of water and are not able to maintain enough moisture to maximize
yield. We’re running through that at a very rapid pace.” he said. “The biggest
point is not actually the daytime temperatures, but the nighttime temperatures
that don’t allow the plants to adequately cool themselves.”
Researchers discovered in 2010 that rice becomes more “chalky”
or brittle when nighttime temperatures are higher, said University of Arkansas
Division of Agriculture assistant professor Eshan Shakiba. Rice seeds are
mostly composed of starch. When night temperatures rise during seed filling
development, chalk occurs. Chalk is loosely packed starch granules and the
air space between them.
The study will use 72 different rice cultivars and three
different planting dates in two separate stages, phenotyping, or judging the
different cultivars based on physical attributes, and genotyping, or observing
the genetic makeup. The data collected from the genotyping will be used for
breeding programs.
“After phenotyping we will conduct an extensive genotypic study
through advanced genetic approaches to identify genetic sources of tolerance to
high nighttime temperature stress,” Shakiba said. “For genotyping we will be
using advanced molecular technology. We will develop molecular markers that
link to the genes associated with tolerance to high nighttime temperatures.
These markers will be used as marker assisted selection in breeding programs
for identification of progeny lines possessing these desirable genes.”
Rice farmers won’t see any relief in the coming days. The
chances for rain in the next five days in Arkansas’s Delta region are low,
according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures during the day will
rise into the low 90s and will drop into the lower 70s at night through Monday,
with only a slight chance of precipitation on Sunday, according to the NWS.
Arkansas is the nation’s top rice producer and state farmers
added even more acres, according to the National Agricultural Statistics
Service. Arkansas has 1.391 million rice acres in the ground. California was
next with 487,000, Louisiana third at 410,000 acres.
Arkansas Farmers planted 1.161 million rice acres last year,
about 47.1% of all rice acres planted in the U.S. Those acres accounted for
82.6 million hundredweight of rice, and it represented 46.4% of the 178.2
million hundredweight produced in the country.
During the last three years, Arkansas has accounted for more
than 47% of the nation’s total rice production, according to federal reports.
Per acre, farmers had a yield of 164.4 bushels per acre, or 7,400 pounds. It
was the third highest yield on record in the state and a 570-pound per acre
uptick from 2016. Rice production has a $4 billion annual impact on the state’s
economy and creates 25,000 jobs, according to Arkansas Farm Bureau.

HIV Infections
Could Be Prevented With the Use of Genetically Modified Rice
The seeds of the GM rice can be crushed to make a topical cream for use
in preventing the spread of HIV infection.

Scientists have developed a form of genetically modified rice
that could help prevent the spread of HIV. In a recent journal article
published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, researchers explained how they modified
the strain to rice so that it can now produce HIV-neutralizing proteins.
The news is the latest novel way to deal with the devastating
widespread disease. Despite massive leaps forward in knowledge and prevention
methods, there are still about 37 million people living
with HIV around the world.
One in 25 African adults
affected by HIV
According to to the World Health Organization, that’s about 0.8
percent of adults between 15 and 49 years old. Africa has the largest
population of people living with HIV, about one in twenty-five adults are
affected by the illness. In 2017 alone more than, 900,000
people died from HIV-related illnesses.
For many economic and political
reasons, HIV treatment has become more widely available in the West. In the US,
known cases of HIV infections dropped from 135,000 in 1985 to 50,000 in 2010,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This dramatic reduction in the
disease is achieved through a combination of better education about the spread
of the disease as well as the development of oral HIV medication. However many
of these medicines are not available in developing countries so scientists are
looking for other ways to help reduce the disease.
The modified rice produces two
types of proteins and one kind of antibody that can bind to HIV viruses. Once
the rice is grown its seeds can be processed on-site to make a topical cream
containing the proteins.
Rice cream can be applied
directly to skin
The cream can then be applied to the skin to
allow the proteins to enter the body.
China Cultivates Salt Water Rice With a Yield That Could
Feed Over 200 Million People
The researchers say the cost of
making the cream is really low and that they hope people living in affected
areas can grow the rice, make the paste and apply it themselves.
While the idea is an exciting
breakthrough in helping reduce the number of HIV infections, the scientists
still have a lengthy testing process to do to ensure that the genetically
modified rice doesn’t pass on any harmful side effects to humans.
The idea also goes some way to
perpetuate the gap between different expectation for people around the world.
It would be unheard of to expect a person living in New York to grow their own
rice to then make a cream for application to assist in the prevention of a
deadly disease, but structural racism and corporate greed means this is a
genuine suggestion for people in third world countries.
The research has been published in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.
Hybrid rice seed to significantly increase yield, exports
02.08.2018
The commercialisation of Hybrid Basmati seed, expected to be
achieved by 2019-2020, will boost farm income as well as exports, Shahzad Ali
Malik, chief executive officer of Guard Agricultural Research and Services
(Guard Agri) said.
Talking to a group of journalists, Malik said with the development of high-yielding fine rice seed varieties, Pakistan would finally end stalemate in production of Basmati rice. The development of an ideal hybrid Basmati seed was a cumbersome process.
“It is not a simple job. We have been working on development of Basmati strain with the help of hybridisation for last several years. After going through a tedious task, with the help of Chinese experts, our scientists have arrived at the advance stage of carrying out its trial,” he said.
Malik, who has pioneered the launch of high-yielding coarse varieties of hybrid rice seed in the country, said farmers of fine rice varieties would also be able to earn significantly more income soon with the cultivation of hybrid Basmati rice.
The development and launch of hybrid rice seed of coarse varieties has helped many farmers in Sindh and Balochistan to double the per acre yield as compared to earlier varieties, reduce cost of production, and increase income significantly. At the national level, quantum jump in rice production has resulted in export surpluses, leading to rise in export earnings tremendously.
Local consumption of premium rice has also been on the rise with passage of time. However, it requires jump in Basmati rice production, which has been prime choice of farmers living in north and central Punjab for centuries.
Keeping in view the consumption trend in local and overseas markets, Malik said the intensification of Basmati rice assumes paramount importance. Thus, share of Basmati trade in overall rice export needs to be increased in coming years to spur growth on a sustained pattern.
With the launch of hybrid Basmati strains, he said the competitive edge of Pakistani Basmati exporters would be bolstered by greater exportable surplus, which might lead to add another billion dollars in rice exports in the coming years.
Pakistan has seen a surge in rice exports in recent year, but it still needs to be improved given the immense agrarian base of the country and potential of scientific development in research. With the Chinese assistance, new varieties of rice hybrid seed already resulted in increasing productivity and exports. It is a win-win situation for all stakeholders, ultimately playing a role in building the national economy, the CEO of Guard Agri said.
With the addition of the new hybrid Basmati rice varieties, farmers in Punjab would be able to increase production manifold. The added quantities would definitely increase exports to traditional markets, Malik said.
Coming back to hybrid Basmati seed, Malik said, typically, minimum seven to eight years were required to develop a new seed variety. “We are facing a few challenges in development of hybrid Basmati, which are being addressed with back-crossing by breeders this year.”
The CEO said, “We are hopeful of increasing hybrid Basmati rice yield to 70 to 80 maunds per acre, which is almost double the present average yield.” The new hybrid Basmati variety would be extra-long grain, especially after cooking and non-stickiness.
“We are expecting to retain some aroma in hybrid Basmati seed, although, now it is not one of the primary features of new varieties being developed in other countries. The hybrid Basmati available in world markets nowadays doesn’t have much of aroma, so it is no more a primary characteristic of Basmati rice,” he observed.
It may be noted that after attaining two billion dollar mark in export of rice a few years back, a slump was seen for a couple of years. However, for the last one year, export of rice from Pakistan has picked up.
The country recorded around $2 billion worth of rice exports in the outgoing fiscal year. Rice exports had reached $2 billion for the first time in fiscal year 2015.

DA: P20B for
farmers a must with rice tariffs
By
-
·
·
THE national government must spend P20 billion to roll out interventions
that will help rice farmers cope with the scrapping of the quantitative
restriction (QR) on rice if it wants the price of the staple to drop by P7 per
kilogram (kg).
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol also said the decline in
prices will not happen immediately after the QR on rice is replaced with
tariffs. The Department of Finance projected in December that the price of the
staple will go down by P7 per kg if the import quota is replaced with a
35-percent tariff.
“[The decline in prices] may happen in three to four years; maybe at the end of the term of the President,”
Piñol told reporters at the sidelines of the Department of Agriculture’s (DA)
budget hearing at the House of Representatives on Thursday.
“[This will happen] provided that all the tariffs collected from
rice imports will go to the rice sector,” he added.
Bills that would amend Republic Act (RA) 8178 and convert the
country’s rice QR into tariffs prescribe the set up of a rice competitiveness
enhancement fund. The RCEF will consist of all the tariffs collected from rice
imports and would be earmarked for the development of the rice sector.
Based on their estimates, Piñol said the RCEF would amount to
around P21.6 billion annually, based on an import volume of 2 million metric
tons (MMT) at an average quotation of $500 per metric ton.
“If that happens, then our farmers will be able to improve their
productivity, increase their production and lower their cost of production. In
the process, we will be able to compete with imported rice being brought into
the country,” he said.
“And in that process, we will realize the statement of the
President that the price of rice in the market would go down by P7 [per kg].
What the President announced would only be felt when all the support to the rice
industry has been delivered,” Piñol added.
Amending
RA 8178
The agriculture chief also said he supports the amendment
proposed by Albay First Representative Edcel Lagman to House Bill (HB) 7735, or
the Revised Agricultural Tariffication Act. The bill seeks to amend RA 8178 to
remove the QR on rice and replace it with tariffs.
“It puts an unequivocal and clear statement in the law that the
tariffs collected from rice imports would automatically go to the RCEF. It will
assure that the rice industry could stand up an inundation of imported rice,”
Piñol said.
“It will give an assurance to both members of Congress who are
pessimistic about the effectiveness of tariffication and of course, industry
stakeholders, [who will make] a little sacrifice, which is to allow imported
rice to compete with them. They will be protected by the government, that’s
what Congressman Lagman wants,” he added.
During the DA’s budget hearing, Lagman said he seeks to put a
“clearer” language in one of the provisions of the tarrification law that would
exempt the collected rice import tariffs would be automatically approriated to
the RCEF.
“Proceeds from the fund should not be subject to [General
Appropriations Act]. It should be released automatically by the [Department of
Budget and Management] on a periodic basis,” he said.
“So that we are not going to debate anymore how the fund will be
appropriated. This will also assure the amount will be released to RCEF
automatically. So that we will be able to help the DA and the country,” he
added.

Furrow-Irrigated Rice Is Gaining Acres In The South
August 3, 2018 08:03 AM
Rice irrigation in the south has
historically been achieved using levees or dikes, which are built new each year
to hold a shallow flood across fields. Gates are installed in each levee to
regulate the depth of the flood and allow irrigation water to cascade from one
paddy to another in the field. This method is still used on most of the rice
acres in the South. A few growers in the Mississippi Delta region began furrow
irrigating rice as early as the 1990s. In the last three to five years,
furrow-irrigated rice has been adopted by many growers throughout the rice
growing area of the Mississippi Delta.
A Common Misconception
Rice can only be grown in
standing water, right? Wrong! Rice does need moisture to grow, just like the
rest of our crops. The big difference is that rice will grow in a flooded
environment whereas corn, soybean, wheat and cotton will not. The main purpose of
flooding rice is for the weed control it provides. If weeds are controlled
prior to flood, most grass and broadleaf weeds will not be able to germinate
and emerge through the flood water.
Methodology
If you have ever driven through
the Mississippi Delta in the summer, you’ve seen a rice field. The number of
levees and whether they are straight or curved all depends on the slope of the
field. Some will have levees so close together you can’t fit a combine header
between them.
The time, labor, and equipment
required to build and maintain levees each year makes furrow-irrigated rice an
attractive option. Prior to planting, beds are constructed with the same
equipment used for other furrow-irrigated crops. Rice is planted with a grain
drill and pest management is conducted in much the same way as conventionally
grown rice. Irrigation frequency is typically every two to five days depending
on soil type, slope and irrigation pump output, among other factors. Most
growers will build a levee at the lower end of the field, or they will use a
road or other land structure to capture and hold the water on the bottom of the
field. This results in the bottom third of the field being permanently flooded
throughout the growing season.
Risks and Benefits
The clearest benefit of
furrow-irrigated rice is increased efficiency in planting, irrigation and
harvest. Rice can often be no-tilled on beds from the previous year’s crop.
Fields left bedded will dry out quicker in the spring, allowing for more
planting days between precipitation events. Less labor is required to irrigate
furrow rice in a timely manner, allowing more land to be used for rice
production. Arguably the greatest benefit of this production method is harvest
efficiency. Furrow-irrigated rice harvests like a wheat field, compared to
having to harvest each paddy individually. Also, the fields can be re-bedded
and left until spring, with corn or soybean no-tilled into the old rice beds.
Future of Furrow-Irrigated Rice
Furrow irrigation is not the
answer for all rice fields. There will always be fields where permanent flood
will be the preferred irrigation method. Research is being conducted across the
Mississippi Delta to determine which of our current varieties and hybrids are better
suited to this production method. Other research includes fine tuning
fertilizer and pesticide recommendations to address challenges faced as this
production technique increases in adoption across the south.

Tariff on imported rice to rake
in P20-B yearly
By Filane Mikee
Cervantes, Philippine News
Agency on August 2, 2018
MANILA — The proposed tariff
system may bring in at least PHP20 billion every year to the agricultural
sector, Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Emmanuel Piñol told lawmakers
on Thursday.
During the budget deliberations of the House appropriations
committee on the DA’s proposed PHP49.8-billion budget for 2019, Piñol said the
duties collected from importing the food staple under the proposed
tariffication bill shall be channeled to the rice competitiveness enhancement
fund (RCEF), which is meant to increase farmers’ productivity by providing
necessary support services.
“We just urge Congress to make sure that the tariffs collected
from the imported rice should go to RCEF, because as I’ve said earlier kung mabibigyan po tayo ng enough
funds for the rice industry at
mabigyan natin ng magandang binhi ang ating mga magasasaka, magi-improve yung ating ani (if the rice
industry would be given enough funds, and we provide good seeds to our farmers,
then they could improve their crop yields),” Piñol said.
“We will be able to provide free seeds, free fertilizer and
subsidize machine and equipment needed by our farmers,” he added.
He said the rice tariffication bill, which President Rodrigo R.
Duterte certified urgent, could also help bring down the price of rice by as
much as PHP7 per kilo.
“Kaya nga sabi ko yung PHP7 na reduction sa presyo achievable yun (The PHP7 reduction
in the [price of rice] is achievable) but it’s not going to happen tomorrow. It
is going to be the result of providing the needed interventions of the rice
industry to increase productivity so that the production cost would go down,”
he added.
The DA chief said if only all the proceeds of the tariff system
would be turned over to the RCEF, the rice industry “will surely be boosted.”
Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman said the bill should be amended by
ensuring that all proceeds from the said fund shall be released automatically
by the Department of Budget and Management on a periodic basis.
The bill seeks to put in place safety nets for Filipino rice
producers and rice consumers by imposing tariffs in lieu of quantitative
restrictions on rice imports.
The RCEF shall be allocated and disbursed as follows: 20 percent
of the fund will be set aside for a rice endowment fund; 20 percent as credit
subsidy or grants for purposes of increasing rice farms modernization,
mechanization, and production efficiency; 20 percent for rice crop finance; 20
percent for postharvest facilities, logistics, storage, transportation
facilities, and infrastructure projects; 10 percent for rice scholarships and
vocational education; and 10 percent for research and development.
Under the bill, the country’s minimum access volume (MAV) for
rice will revert to its 2012 level of 350,000 metric tons (MT) as indicated in
the Philippines’ commitment to the World Trade Organization (WTO), from the
current 805,000 MT.
The bill proposes to set the bound tariff rate at 35 percent for
imported rice originating from member-states of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, aligned with the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement
(ATIGA), regardless of volume.
It also proposes to impose a most-favored nation (MFN) tariff
rate of 40 percent for in-quota rice imports from non-ASEAN WTO member
countries, while a 180 percent MFN tariff rate shall be imposed for volumes
imported outside the MAV.
DA’s cash-based budget for next year went down by 1.8 percent
compared to last year’s cash-based equivalent of PHP50.7 billion.
Vietnam’s
rice exports on the rise
Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s rice exports in the first seven
months of this year brought home 2 billion USD, rising 32 percent against the
same period last year.
From January to July, the country sold 3.86 million tonnes of the grain abroad, a year-on-year increase of 12.8 percent.
In the first six months of the year, China remained the largest importer of Vietnamese rice with 1.13 million tonnes, followed by African market with 537,000 tonnes, the Philippines with 429,000 tonnes, Indonesia with 776,000 tonnes, and Malaysia with 305,000 tonnes.
Vietnamese exporters have paid due attention to the Chinese market, which accounts for 40 percent of country’s total rice exports. However, China’s import policies and technical barriers pose considerable challenges for Vietnamese firms, said Nguyen Trung Kien, Chairman and General Director of the Gentraco Feed Joint Stock Company.
“China is a choosy market. If Vietnamese products, from pork to vegetables and fruits, do not meet quality requirements, they will be rejected”, he said.
Kien recommended that the Government support exporters in terms of policies and the agricultural sector should give guidance to farmers to produce high-quality products, meeting market’s demand.
Experts said that demands for rice will grow in the last quarter of the year. Five traditional importers of Cuba, Iraq, Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia possibly purchase 3-4 million tonnes of rice. However, the Philippines may prefer Thai rice due to its competitive price as the country is importing rice under the minimum access volume (MAV) scheme.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh intends to buy 400,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam among 700,000 tonnes it will import in August.
Vietnamese firms are sending 60,000 tonnes of rice to Cuban market, and 30,000 tonnes to Iraq every month.-VNA

Agriculture
experts for increasing cultivation of Aus rice
Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha
. Rangpur | Published: 02:23, Aug 03,2018
They made the call at the function organised for harvesting BRRI dhan 48 variety Aus rice on the exhibition plot of farmer Sultan Ahmed at Jamuna Block of Durgapur union under Ulipur upazila of Kurigram on Wednesday afternoon.
Ulipur upazila agriculture office of the Department of Agriculture Extension organised the function for the farmers to exhibit cultivation technologies of BRRI dhan 48 Aus rice and inspire them in enhancing cultivation of the crop.
With Ulipur upazila nirbahi officer Muhammad Shafikul Islam in the chair, Ulipur upazila chairman Md Haider Ali attended the function and launched crop cutting of BRRI dhan 48 Aus rice as chief guest.
Ulipur upazila agriculture officer of the DAE agriculturist Ashok Kumar Roy, additional upazila agriculture officer agriculturist Abdul Gaffer, Durgapur union chairman Abed Ali Sarder, sub-assistant agriculture officer Abdul Aziz and farmer Sultan Ahmed, spoke.
Agriculturist Roy narrated the importance of popularising Aus rice cultivation using seasonal rainwater to gradually replace costly Boro rice farming for reduce lifting of underground water to improve environment, ecology and biodiversity.
‘Cultivation of the short duration (100-105 days) BRRI dhan 48 Aus rice requires only 3-4 irrigations to get average yield rate of 5 tonnes of the crop in terms of paddy per hectare after harvest when Boro rice farming requires 20-30 times irrigations,’ he said.
Agriculturist Gaffer said the present government has taken various steps, including distribution of special incentives and quality seed, to enhance cultivation of eco-friendly and short duration Aus rice varieties like BRRI dhan 48 using the latest technologies.
‘The farmers can increase rice production by enhancing cultivation of Aus rice, mostly using unused seasonal rainwater, during the off season as an additional substitute cereal crop to costly Boro rice farming without hampering Aman rice cultivation,’ he said.
The chief guest urged the agriculturists to disseminate latest technologies to farmers for enhancing Aus rice cultivation during the off-season between late May and early August to gradually reduce costly Boro cultivation that requires huge irrigation water.

India's 2018 monsoon likely to be below average after poor start
to season
·
·
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India’s
monsoon rains, a crucial element for the country’s farm output, are likely to
be below average in 2018, after the country experienced tepid rainfall during
the first half of the season.
For the first two months of the
monsoon season, rainfall was below average, according to India Meteorological
Department (IMD) data.
The monsoon rains could be
considered the lifeblood of India’s $2 trillion economy since the farm sector
contributes 14 percent of the country’s economic output and employs more than
half of its 1.3 billion people.
A spell of good rains could keep
a lid on inflation by holding down food prices, potentially tempting Prime
Minister Narendra Modi to bring forward general elections due in May 2019.
Lower rainfall could add to the
woes of those dependent on agriculture for a livelihood. Indian farmers, who
have been hitting the streets to protest low income levels, are a crucial vote
bank for a poll-bound Modi.
There is a 41 percent chance of
India experiencing average rainfall, and 12 percent chance of above average
rainfall during the second half of the monsoon season, the IMD said.
“The rainfall for the country as
a whole during the second half of the season is likely to be 95 percent of the
long-period average,” the IMD said.
Modi has set an ambitious target
of doubling farmer’s income by 2022.
Farmers have planted summer crops
on 73.8 million hectares (182.3 million acres) of land as of July 27, down 7.5
percent from a year ago, the Department of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers
Welfare said.
India is the world’s biggest
producer of cotton and pulses and the second-biggest producer of sugar and
rice.
The IMD had forecast earlier that
India in 2018 would receive rainfall measuring 97 percent of the long-term
average.
The agency has accurately
forecast the monsoon season only once in every five years in the last two
decades, even after allowing for a margin of error of plus or minus 5
percentage points.
Togo: From 2008
to 2017, rice output rose by more than 64%
AGRICULTURE
(Togo First) - From 2008 to 2017, Togo’s rice output soared by
more than 64%, from 85,637 metric tons to 140,519 metric tons (Mt). This was
revealed July 31, 2018, during a meeting gathering various actors of the sector.
On this occasion, the actors set output target for 2018 at 232,750
Mt, including 139,650 Mt of milled rice.
In order to achieve this goal, sown areas would be increased.
Meanwhile, producers are asking for tax exemptions on agricultural equipment
and inputs as well as better access to bank loans.
Actors present at the meeting recommended the use of rice
varieties that are more suited to rainfed farming and a better organization of
the sector.

Chinese researchers charged in conspiracy to steal US
rice technology
on 5/08/2018 by Dailyexcelsior
CHICAGO, Aug 4: Two agricultural
researchers from China were charged on Friday in connection with a 2013 attempt
to steal U.S. rice technology for use in the medical field.A US grand jury
indicted Liu Xuejun, 49, and Sun Yue, 36, for conspiracy to steal trade secrets
and conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property,
according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Lawyers for Liu and Sun could not
immediately be reached for comment. The Chinese Embassy in Washington also
could not immediately be reached. The charges come as the United States and
China have slapped tariffs on imports of billions of dollars’ worth of each
other’s goods in an escalating trade war.
The United States alleges that China
steals US corporate secrets and wants it to stop doing so. “Today’s indictment
of Liu and Sun should not go unnoticed by those who seek to steal our trade
secrets and technology,” said Diane Upchurch, special agent in charge of the
FBI’s field office in Little Rock, Arkansas.
In recent years, US law enforcement
officials have urged agriculture executives and security officers to increase
their vigilance and report suspicious activity involving farm products, citing
a growing economic and national security threat to the sector.
Liu and Sun traveled to the United
States to visit rice research and production facilities, including those in
Arkansas and Kansas, U.S. officials said. On their way back to China, U.S.
customs agents found stolen rice seeds in their luggage, they said. The seeds
were engineered by a company named Ventria Bioscience to contain certain
proteins that can be removed from the rice and used in medicines and
pharmaceutical products. “It is important that this intellectual property be
respected and protected from would-be thieves in order for Ventria to sustain
itself and continue to thrive as a business,” Scott Deeter, Ventria’s chief
executive officer, told Reuters in an email. The researchers’ trip was
organized by two other agricultural scientists from China, Weiqiang Zhang and
Wengui Yan, according to prosecutors. Zhang and Yan, who were working in the
United States, have previously been convicted in connection with the case and
sentenced to prison.
“We remain vigilant in our efforts
at protecting both intellectual and real property from theft by other nations,”
said Cody Hiland, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. http://www.dailyexcelsior.com/chinese-researchers-charged-in-conspiracy-to-steal-us-rice-technology/
Rice Imports Top $670m in Four
Months
Sunday, August 05, 2018
A total of 662,798 tons of wholly
or semi-milled rice worth more than $674 million were imported into Iran during
the first four months of the current Iranian year (March 21-July 22) to
register a 2.8% and 11.9% rise in weight and value respectively compared with
the corresponding period of last year, based on the latest data released by the
Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.
India and Pakistan are the main
exporters of rice to Iran.
Lack of coordination hurting
rice imports
President
Rodrigro Duterte’s call to traders to help boost the rice buffer stock of the
National Food Authority to provide consumers continuous access to affordable
rice may be imperiled because of the lack of coordination among government agencies
in implementing the presidential directive. This emerged after the Bureau
of Customs seized some 100,000 sacks of imported Thailand rice bought by Sta.
Rosa Farm Products, one of the first companies to heed the president’s call and
pledge to provide at least 700,000 sacks of rice to help replenish the NFA
stock.
The
different varieties of imported rice was intended to be sold between P34 and
P37 per kilo in Metro Manila, which was facing a shortage in NFA supply and to
complement the “Tulong sa Bayan” caravan aimed at bringing affordable rice to
Filipino consumers.
“Our
company immediately responded and committed to help the government when the
president publicly announced that he was scrapping the import quota in order to
bring in more rice and bring down the prices for the benefit of consumers,
particularly the low-income households” said Jomerito Soliman, owner of Sta.
Rosa Farm Products.
“And
despite our efforts to coordinate with appropriate government agencies―all
backed by documents―our rice imports were seized. This is not very encouraging
to rice traders,” Soliman said.
Soliman
presented documents, all with received stamps by relevant government agencies,
to prove that the papers for his rice importation were in order.
President
Duterte in April made separate public pronouncements that he was abolishing the
quota on rice importation by private traders to ensure the NFA rice reserves are
sufficient, affordable and accessible to consumers as long as they pay the
proper tariff.
Soliman
said Sta. Rosa Farm Products heeded the government’s directive to help the NFA
boost its rice stock and to lower the price of rice, but the lack of coordination
among implementing government agencies led to the seizure of some 100,000 sacks
of rice it imported from Thailand. These were later auctioned off by the BoC
even before the expiration of the prescribed period for appeal.
The
NFA, in a letter dated July 27, 2018 addressed to Soliman, upheld the rice
importation of Sta. Rosa Farm Products, saying it was in line with the
president’s order removing the rice quota on importation, subject to 50-percent
tariff imposed by the BOC.
“But
now, I am being falsely charged and tried before the bar of public opinion for
allegedly violating the laws and portrayed as a hoarder. This is totally
untrue.” Soliman said.To disprove the allegation that he was a hoarder, Soliman
presented a report submitted by NFA Bulacan provincial manager Elvira Cruz
Obana to NFA administrator Jason Aquino, saying that as per order of the
president and inspection by the agency’s enforcement team for possible hoarding
of NFA rice in the Malolos warehouse of Purefeeds Corp. and its sister companies,
which he owned, authorities found no evidence of hoarding.
“Malicious
rumors harm all traders like me who conduct their operations with full
transparency in accordance with the law and in coordination with the relevant
government agencies,” Soliman said.He said while legitimate rice traders
supported the government’s drive against smuggling, his situation appeared to
be unsettling importers who were willing to help the Duterte administration, in
fear of being labeled as hoarders or smugglers.“We support the government’s
drive against rice smuggling. Smuggling is not only detrimental to the
interests of Filipino farmers, but also to the interests of legitimate rice
traders like me,” he said.

Imran Khan’s First Test: Pakistan’s Troubled Economy
Pakistani economists say that Imran Khan, once he becomes prime
minister, will have no choice but to ask the International Monetary Fund for a
bailout.CreditAthit Perawongmetha/Reuters
Aug. 4, 2018ISLAMABAD,
Pakistan — The economic mess awaiting Pakistan’s new leader could take the
thrill out of his election victory.
The country’s current account deficit, a broad measure of the
imbalance between imports and exports, has soared to an alarming $18 billion. Foreign
currency reserves would cover less than two months of imports.
The Pakistani rupee is shaky, tax collection is scandalously low
(last year, in a country of 200 million, fewer than a million people
paid any taxes) and Pakistan was recently returned to an international “gray list” for
failing to curb terrorism financing, making foreign transactions more
complicated and expensive.
So what’s a new prime minister to do?
Imran Khan, the former cricket
player whose political party won Pakistan’s disputed election late
last month, vowed to tackle the distressed economy the moment he ascends to the
premiership, which is expected to happen in the coming days.
But the task will be made more difficult because Pakistan has
sandwiched itself between two financial powers: China, from which it has
borrowed heavily, and the Western-dominated International Monetary Fund, which
might be its short-term savior.
Pakistan has taken out billions
in Chinese loans and run up a huge import tab bringing in bulldozers, train
carriages and building materials as part of a Chinese-funded master plan to
revamp its ports, roads and railways.

billions from China to develop its infrastructure.CreditMuhammad
Yousuf/Associated Press
That $62 billion plan, known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, has been celebrated
by both countries as a long-term investment that will increase trade. It is a
cornerstone of a global infrastructure initiative that China calls Belt and
Road.
Economists agree that for
Pakistan’s economy to develop beyond rice and textiles, its main exports, it
needs new infrastructure — a lot of it.
But in the meantime, the Chinese plan is pushing Pakistan’s
deficits to unsustainable levels. The country’s debt is rising rapidly and it
is running out of hard currency to pay its bills. Pakistani economists say that
Mr. Khan’s team will have no choice but to beg the monetary fund for a
multibillion-dollar bailout, one of more than a dozen that Pakistan has
received since the late 1980s.
That prospect doesn’t make the United States super happy.
“Make no mistake,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said this week. “We
will be watching what the I.M.F. does.”
Mr. Pompeo objected to the idea of money from the fund being
used by Pakistan to pay back Chinese loans.
“There’s no rationale for I.M.F. tax dollars — and associated with
that American dollars that are part of the I.M.F. funding — for those to go to
bail out Chinese bondholders or China itself,” he said.
Pakistan’s economy, it seems, has
become yet another battlefield between the United States and China.

As the largest contributor to the
fund, the United States has considerable sway over its decisions. And though
the United States and Pakistan enjoyed close ties during the Cold War, the
relationship has soured. President Trump froze aid to Pakistan at the
beginning of the year, citing frustration with its tolerance of extremist
groups that operate within its borders.
Economists say that if the United States tried to block a
potential bailout, Mr. Khan’s fledging government could face a major crisis. It
is unclear what the United States’ actual position is, and the fund would
probably restrict Pakistan from redirecting bailout money to China. Several
analysts said that Mr. Pompeo’s remarks were
more an expression of frustration than a definitive statement.
Despite its troubles, last year the Pakistani economy grew at
more than 5 percent, faster than most Western economies.
But things could change quickly if Mr. Khan’s government doesn’t
get a rescue package soon, experts said. Among the concerns are soaring
inflation, bank runs, capital flight and new import controls that would make it
more difficult to buy items like computers and spare auto parts.
“The situation is certainly not good,” said Mohammed Sohail, chief executive of Topline Management,
a brokerage firm based in Karachi, the country’s economic capital. “We could
see growth tumbling, interest rates increasing, inflation.”
The trick for Mr. Khan will be managing expectations. He is a
Pakistani success story: a legendary athlete who is good-looking, wealthy and
connected to the global elite (he once played matchmaker for Princess
Diana). His election could open new doors for Pakistan.
But how he handles the cold, hard
numbers of Pakistan’s up-and-down economy, more than anything else, will
determine his success.

welfare state.CreditAnjum Naveed/Associated Press
Pakistan’s financial markets seem to like him. As soon as it was clear that Mr. Khan’s party was winning the July 25 election, the rupee gained value and Pakistani stocks surged. Mr. Pompeo’s remarks had the opposite effecton both.
This past week, Mr. Khan has continued his quest to win over
enough independent lawmakers and those from smaller parties to form a coalition
government.
The election was seen as heavily influenced by military and
intelligence officials, who analysts say favored Mr. Khan and
sidelined his competition. But his supporters see him as a figure of hope,
having defeated two of the country’s powerful political dynasties based partly
on his promises of a less corrupt and more equitable society. In his victory
speech, Mr. Khan said he wanted to turn Pakistan into an Islamic welfare state.
That is going to be hard to deliver if Pakistan goes hat in hand
to the monetary fund, as many expect. Considered the lender of last resort, it
can be a stern taskmaster.
In return for lending Pakistan upward of $10 billion, the fund
would most likely require more fiscal discipline. That could mean Pakistan
would have to reduce public spending and increase the amount of taxes it collects.
Both could be a drag on growth and are not exactly the moves a populist prime
minister would like to make during his first days in office.
Pakistani economists say Mr. Khan faces a tightrope in trying to
reconcile the fund’s demands with the goals of China’s infrastructure plans.
“These are our two masters,” said
Turab Hussain, an economics professor at the Lahore University of Management
Sciences. “How do you serve both?”

Times
Though China is a member of the monetary fund and one of its
biggest contributors, it has a different philosophy when making its own loans.
Getting paid back is not its only, or maybe even primary, goal.
As it seeks new markets for its construction companies and new
pathways to ship its goods, China is financing ambitious infrastructure
projects across Central and South Asia. Beijing also views these projects as a
way to project its power and secure allies.
The goal of the monetary fund, by contrast, is to stabilize
distressed economies and help countries avoid unsustainable financial
imbalances. It structures loans with strict conditions to increase the chances
the country will clean up its finances and be able to pay back its loans.
While Chinese loans don’t have the same strings attached, they
still have strings. In Pakistan, much of the profit from new power plants and
roads goes straight back to Chinese companies.
And as China showed in Sri Lanka, it can be a hard-knuckled debt
collector. When Sri Lanka couldn’t pay back the money it had borrowed,
China snatched one of its biggest ports.
“Pakistan is clearly falling to the China side,” said Sian
Fenner, lead Asia economist for Oxford Economics, a global research firm.
Even with a bailout from the
monetary fund, she added, “I don’t see that changing.”

Local rice dealers have called for
more diligence at the ports and other entry points in a bid to prevent
importers from under-declaring their goods.Media investigations have revealed
that the country has been losing $21 million annually mainly
through under-declaration and misclassification by importers. Speaking
to Joy Business, the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Rice Interprofessional
Body (GRIB), Evans Sackey, said the industry can only be competitive if
the importers pay the right duties at the ports of entry.
“The ability and potential to
produce is there, the difficulty is what we have been talking about.
When these rice importers under-declare their goods at the ports, it makes
their rice cheaper than what is produced locally."Now that they have
realised that the GRA is losing money, authorities have begun talking
about it,” Mr Sackey said.He added that “if somebody is able to cut corners to
import rice into the country and the price becomes so low then, the local
producers don’t have the motivation to produce."Therefore if the tracking
system can be done very well and we make sure that, these guys pay the right
duties at the port, then the local producer will have space to produce since
they can all compete head-on on the market.”
Documents sighted by Joy Business
and the B&FT shows that the majority of the large rice importers are all
culprit in the corrupt act.
For example, in June 2017 for a
quantity of 500MT 1kg bagged fragrant rice bought by one of the importers in
Vietnam at $572 and valued at $286,000, the importer under-declared it at $440
giving it a total value of $220,000.
Mr. Sackey in his analysis stated
that “I think also that the vigilance and human interference at the ports
should be reduced in terms of how duties are paid which will ensure that they
right duties are paid on rice.
"This measure enables GRA to
be able to monitor all the things that come into the country.”
Ghana’s
current rice consumption is about 1.8 million tonnes, with local rice
production less than 600,000 tonnes. The Ministry of Agriculture is expecting
rice production to hit about 630,000 tonnes by end of the year.
Agri agencies: Rice
tariff bill to benefit farmers
THE Department of Agriculture (DA) and the National Food Authority
(NFA) expressed support for a consolidated rice tariffication bill that
President Rodrigo Duterte wants passed, saying it would further aid Filipino
farmers and increase the Philippines’ food production.
This came after a consumer group renewed its opposition to the
measure, saying it would doom the country’s rice sector.
At the sidelines of the DA’s budget hearing at the Batasang
Pambansa in Quezon City on Thursday, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said
the measure would increase farmers’ harvest, lower production costs, and
improve incomes, as long as the tariff collected from imports would go to the
rice industry.
“There should be an equivocal and clear statement in the proposed
law that the tariff to be collected will automatically go to Rice Competitive
Enhancement Fund (RCEF), because [that would ensure]that [the]rice industry
would be able to stand up” to rice imports,” he added.
Under the measure, the rice-import quota enjoyed by the NFA would
be removed and businessmen would be allowed to import the staple with the
corresponding tariff rate.Once it is enacted, the country’s Minimum Access
Volume (MAV) for rice shall revert to its 2012 level of 350,000 metric tons
(MT) from the current 805,000 MT.The bill, which has Speaker Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo as a principal author, shall be tackled in a plenary session of the
House of Representatives and predicted to be approved on third reading next
week.
The DA projects that if the country imports 2 million metric tons
(MT) with a 40-percent tariff, about $400 million (P21.24 billion) could be
generated annually.If the bill is passed, Piñol said, his department shall give
to farmers free quality seeds that will double the rice they harvest and “even
subsidize their farm equipment.”He emphasized, however, that rice tariffication
would not lower local rice prices.“Tariffication is the option we have to
implement to protect our farmers from the inflow of imported rice in view of
the lifting of the quantitative restriction as part of our commitments to the
World Trade Organization (WTO). It has nothing to do with the price of rice,”
he said.
Its effect would only be felt after all support for the industry
has been delivered, he added.The NFA echoed Piñol’s support for the bill’s
enactment, with spokesman Rex Estoperez saying it would be good for the
economy.“As long as the welfare of our farmers is considered, we’re OK with it.
We support the farmers,” Estoperez said.“However, it should be clear to all in
what forms of support are we talking about,” he added.
In response to claims that rice tariffication would only “empower
smugglers,” the NFA spokesman said smuggling would only happen “if government
agencies in charge are not extending their monitoring.”Public advocacy group
Foundation for Economic Freedom also expressed support, with chairman and
former Finance Secretary Roberto de Ocampo saying that implementing “the
President’s order to liberalize rice importation by the private sector” is
needed.
According to him, allowing private businesses to import the staple
is one way to help fight the country’s rising inflation.In a statement on
Wednesday, Cathy Estavillo, spokesman of rice watchdog Bantay Bigas, said the
bill “is a death warrant or certificate for the Philippine rice industry, poor
consumers, and producers.”
According to her, rice farmers and consumers has been suffering
from the impact of rice imports, though with quantitative restriction (QR),
since the country’s entry to the WTO. It depressed farmgate prices, bankrupted
and displaced farmers, and prompted retail prices to rise. WITH

Senator Villar eyes P10-B rice
competitiveness fund

DAVAO
CITY –
Senator Cynthia Villar is eyeing PHP10 billion for the rice competitiveness
enhancement fund to help rice farmers mechanize and produce good seeds.Villar,
chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food, said the move will
help rice farmers who will be affected by the scrapping of the quantitative
restriction (QR) on the importation of rice.Villar explained that the
government will have to liberalize the importation of rice and abandon its
protectionist rice policies in compliance with its obligations to the World
Trade Organization (WTO).
The QR, a preferential trade deal secured by the Philippines after becoming a TWO member in 1995, prevents the influx of cheap rice from abroad to protect local farmers from foreign competition. The country has been imposing the QR for years but chose not to renew it with the WTO in June last year.
The removal of QR paves way for traders to import additional volumes of rice from Southeast Asian countries on a 35-percent tariff. The collected tariffs will then be used to fund mass irrigation, warehousing, and rice research.
Villar noted that liberalizing rice imports has been certified by the President as an urgent "to help ease inflation and bring down prices of the food staple by as much as PHP7 per kilo."
“This is also one of my focus," she said in an interview on Friday on the sidelines of the mass oath-taking of the Hugpong Pagbabago members in Tagum City.
Earlier, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said the national government must spend PHP20 billion to roll out interventions to help rice farmers.
However, Villar said the proposed PHP10 billion could be an initial allocation given that all rice tariffs would go to the rice competitive enhancement fund.“PHP 10 billion muna tapos lahat ng tariffs pasok ng pasok sa competitive enhancement fund (PHP10 billion first, then all rice tariffs will go to the competitive enhancement fund),” Villar said.The senator sees the need for farmers to mechanize and produce good seeds to increase production from four metric tons to six metric tons per hectare.
Mechanization also helps farmers cut down on labor cost, which is half of the total production cost, she said.Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III earlier said that liberalizing rice imports through the passage into law of the rice tariffication bill now pending in Congress is vital in helping low-income households cope with inflation, given that rice accounts for 20 percent of their consumption.
The bill will complement the social mitigation measures the government is implementing to further ease the impact of inflation on poor households, Dominguez said.The House of Representatives appropriations committee has already approved the funding provision for the consolidated version of its rice tariffication bill, while its counterpart in the Senate is still being discussed at the committee level.
