High
Pressure Processing (HPP) For Rice And Grain Market To Hold a High Potential
for Growth by 2026
High pressure processing (HPP) is
‘non-thermal’ food preservation and sterilization technique, which has been
developed to avoid chemical and thermal preservation of food. High pressure
processing is also known as Pascalization or bridgmanization or high
hydrostatic pressure (HHP), or ultra-high pressure (UHP). It is a natural and
environmental friendly process that doesn’t alter foods original properties
such as flavor, color or texture. It is proved as a successful and safe
alternative for traditional chemical and thermal preservation techniques.
From 1990’s HPP technique is popularly being
used in Japan and other part of Asia. Initially it was being used only for
preservation of juices, jellies and jams. But considering market demand for
naturally preserved foods and benefits of HPP, the technique is now popular for
preservation of almost all the food products such as salads, fish and meat,
seafood, yogurts, rice cakes, grains etc.
Increasing market
demand for naturally preserved food is market driver for high
pressure processing food technique. When
HPP is used for rice and grains processing, the allergen protein releases from
rice grains and makes rice allergen free.
High Pressure Processing (HPP)
For Rice & Grain Market Segmentation
High pressure processing market can be
segmented on the basis of processing equipment type such as semi-continues
equipment, and batch processing equipment. Bach processing is mainly used for
pre-packaged food and semi-continuous process is used for foods in pumpable
liquid form. In rice and grains processing semi-continuous process is used
popularly.
High pressure processing (HPP) market is later
segmented on the basis of production scale as small scale, mid-scale and large
scale production. Large scale production is normally used in developed markets,
where as mid-scale and small scale are getting popular in developing markets.
High pressure processing market is further segmented on the basis of region as,
Latin America, North America, Asia Pacific Excluding Japan, Japan, Europe,
Middle East and Africa.
High Pressure Processing (HPP)
For Rice & Grain Global Market Drivers & Trends
Rising natural and safe food demand from
rapidly growing global population is major factor driving market demand for HPP
for rice & grains. As HPP breaks down the allergic protein content of rice
and grains and makes it safe for consumption, food processing industries are
concentrating on High pressure processing of rice and grains.
Not only the allergens removal properties, but
other preservation advantages such as shelf life extension, greater quality,
destroyed pathogens etc. are other factors attracting producers and fueling
market demand for HPP technique for rice and grains.
Moreover to meet the
safe and natural food demands of the 21st century
consumer, the global food industry is rapidly moving toward product
innovative and new product development through new processing methods. HPP for
rice and grains is one of them, gaining significant market demand.
In regional outlook of high pressure
processing for rice and grain market, Japan and Asia Pacific Excluding Japan
are major players in HPP for rice and grain market, as being major producer and
consumers of rice and grains. As U.S. FDA has accepted commercial use of HPP
for low acid foods like grains and rice, North America is considered as another
major market as well as with increasing consumer demand for non-synthetic
natural food preservation methods, Europe has also adapted HPP techniques for
rice and grain, and for many other food products such as juices, bakery
products, jams, jellies etc. In Europe and North America markets, HPP is widely
used for juices and beverages processing.
However Middle East and Africa markets are
still in their nascent stage of development in HPP for rice and grains.
High Pressure Processing (HPP)
For Rice & Grain Market Key Players:
All rice and grain producers
and other food manufacturers cannot afford to purchase high cost HPP machines.
And therefore to facilitate some market player providing HPP on commercial
tolling basis to the food manufacturing industries, includes American
Pasteurization Company, Avure HPP Food Processing, High Pressure Process Tolling
Ltd., Stay Fresh Foods, Hormel Foods, Motivatit, APA Processing, Raw Pressery
etc. However few major market players providing HPP machinery and technology
includes Kobe steel co. ltd, Hoiperbaric S.A, Amec ,Next HPP etc.
DA to use excess rice tariff for crop diversification,
insurance
Author: DA
Communications Group | 31 July 2020
The Department of Agriculture (DA) plans to use
the excess 2019 rice tariff collections for crop diversification and expanded
crop insurance programs.
“We have been encouraging rice farmers,
particularly those tilling rainfed and marginal lands, to plant other crops
that would generate bigger income, and more importantly instill in them the
need to insure their crops,” said Agriculture Secretary William Dar.
“It is auspicious that we can pursue both
initiatives using the excess tariff collections from imported rice, as provided
under the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) or RA 11203,” added the DA chief.
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) recently reported
that tariffs collected from imported rice in 2019 totaled P12.1 billion (B).
As per RTL, of the total tariff collected
annually, P10B is automatically appropriated for the provision of farm
machinery and equipment (P5B), certified inbred seeds (P3), credit (P1B), and
training and extension (P1B), while the excess will fund other initiatives to
make Filipino rice farmers more productive and competitive.
These include crop diversification, crop
insurance, agricultural land titling, and other programs as deemed appropriate
by the DA. The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) earlier in the year
has released P10B to the DA to fund the four RCEF program components, which are
already in full swing, secretary Dar said.
“On April 13, 2020, we requested DBM Secretary
Wendel Avisado to release the excess rice tariff collections to fund our crop
diversification program and expanded crop insurance program on rice,” said
Secretary Dar.
With the recent BOC report, farmers’ groups are
clamoring for the immediate release of the excess rice tariff collections
amounting to P2.1B.
Of the amount, the DA is requesting the DBM to
allot P1B for the crop diversification program and P1.1B for the expanded crop
insurance on rice, which will be implemented by the DA’s high-value crops
development program, and DA-Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC),
respectively.
RCEF Components Update
Now on its second year, the RCEF program is
vigorously implemented, despite momentary setbacks due to COVID-19 community
quarantine protocols nationwide.
“We were able to devise strategies to ensure
that we continue to roll out the RCEF program components. So far, we are doing
very well through the help of our partner agencies and local government units,”
Secretary Dar said.
“Our initial efforts are paying off, as the
country’s production of palay (rice paddy) reached 4.12 million metric tons
(MMT) in the second quarter of 2020, up by 6.85 percent from the same period
last year, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority,” the DA chief
noted.
To date, the DA-Philippine Rice Research
Institute (PhilRice) reported a total of 2,341,433 bags of high-quality seeds
were delivered to 710,178 farmer-beneficiaries, in 983 municipalities and
cities, in 55 provinces.
The agency also delivered 21,643 bags of seeds
to 3,046 farmer-beneficiaries, tilling 1,772 hectares, in Lanao del Sur and
Maguindanao, in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Using the P5-B 2019 RCEF farm mechanization
budget, the DA-PhilMech has awarded 2,938 units of farm machinery and equipment
worth P2B to 625 farmers’ cooperatives and associations (FCAs) nationwide.
The second batch of 4,996 units worth P3B is
under bidding process and expected to be completed by July 31, 2020, said DA-PhilMech
Director Baldwin Jallorina. Thereafter, the farm machines and equipment will be
given to the second batch of 1,068 FCAs.
For the 2020 P5-B RCEF farm mechanization
budget, the DA-Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization
(PhilMech) has to date validated 2,587 FCA applicants, of which 1,259 FCAs have
been shortlisted and qualified to receive 4,543 units of farm machinery.For his
part, DA-Field Operations Service Director Roy Abaya said they expect to
obligate the total released budget of P10 billion for mechanization before the
year ends, to procure and distribute the targeted 15,000 units of various farm
machines and equipment.
On credit, the Development Bank of the
Philippines (DBP) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) have already lent out
their respective P500-million RCEF credit fund to 5,214 individuals and FCAs.
Both banks are currently disbursing the 2020 RCEF credit fund to qualified
beneficiaries.
Finally, on training and extension, both the
DA-Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) and TESDA have granted a total of
16,245 scholarship slots to farmer field schools, rice machinery operation,
drying, and milling plant servicing, and small engine servicing — from the 2019
fund and 3,733 slots for 2020.The DA-ATI also established 50 farm schools cum
agri-tourism sites across the country.
Together with TESDA, the DA through ATI,
PhilMech, and PhilRice has trained five batches of rice specialists; 86 batches
of trainers; 579 batches of farmers; and 24 batches of seed growers,
inspectors, analysts, and other extension intermediaries — with a total of
18,350 participants.
They also disseminated more than 2.8 million
copies of information and communication materials on rice production and other
crops, and agricultural and livelihood projects, benefiting thousands of
farmers and their families nationwide. ### (Myriam Layaoen, DA StratComms)
Experts challenge farmers
to utilise forthcoming Nanenane exhibitions

The Guardian
Experts challenge farmers to utilise forthcoming Nanenane
exhibitions
AGRICULTURAL and animal husbandry
experts and stakeholders have challenged farmers in the country to attend and
use bravely the forthcoming Nanenane exhibitions to learn and embrace modern
and mechanized practices.
To
fuel a pace of much-needed industrial economy in the country, the experts have
insisted that farmers and livestock keepers in Tanzania must adopt the uses of
modern agricultural and animal husbandry machineries and other best practices
as part to improve their production and productivity.
Moreover, it has been suggested
that applications of modern agricultural and animal husbandry machinery would
also help the country compete effectively in relevant international markets.
Head of the Tanzania Livestock
Research Institute (TALIRI), Dr Eligy Shirima, told The Guardian in an
interview that the institute has well prepared to demonstrate and impart useful
technology to livestock keepers in the course of the envisaged Nanenane
exhibitions.
Some of the technologies,
according to him, will base on livestock improvement and husbandry, pasture and
forages, harvesting and conservation of pasture seeds, small ruminants, dairy
cattle, whereby others will major on milk and meat processing as well as
fattening of livestock (feedlot of livestock).
"And, we’re planning also to
run a brief theoretical session to impart the livestock keepers over the
Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET) technology which is on pipeline
to be introduced to them later in the future," he briefed.
The TALIRI’ s General Director explained
that the high-technology, MOET, targets to expand multiplication of quality
livestock (dairy and beef) in the country through a massive production of
heifers using high reproductive technological methods.
For his part, branch manager for
Poly Machinery Co. Ltd, Dickson Raymond, said the company has set out to
educate and market key agricultural and husbandry machinery, with an eye to
enable indigenous farmers to yield bumper harvests, but also, meeting required
international standards.
He detailed that the major focus
of the company was to supplement efforts by the fifth phase government in
elevating performance of farmers and crops processors through adoption and uses
of key technologies.
"These machines are useful
in ensuring productivity of produced crops and are also very useful in
curtailing post-harvest losses," he elaborated.
He named some of the machines as
maize sheller, hammer mill, packing machines for spices, rice and flour,
threshers, combined rice mill, platform scale, oil filter, peanut shellers,
incubators, feed processors and pellet feed machines, to mention just a few.
Agriculture minister Josephat
Hasunga said the parent ministry has embarked on a special strategy to educate
and sensitise the farmers in the country to adopt modern technology in order to
cheat hand –hoe cultivation.
He said the fifth phase
government was focusing to improve the performance of the agribusiness sector
within the country, a situation which, according to him, will see Tanzania
benefiting accordingly from the side as well as enabling many farmers
graduating from poverty.
At least 58 percent of Tanzanians
are employed in agriculture and contribute 26 percent of the countries as well
as 30 percent of all foreign currencies.

The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS
NET) monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food
insecurity. For each FEWS NET country and region, the Price Bulletin provides a
set of charts showing monthly prices in the current marketing year in selected
urban centers and allowing users to compare current trends with both five-year
average prices, indicative of seasonal trends, and prices in the previous year.
Rice, black beans, maize, and cooking oil are among the
most important food items for poor and middle income households in Haiti. Roots
and tubers are also important, but not currently monitored. All cooking oil is
imported and rice imports account for about 80 percent of national needs. Large
quantities of beans and maize are also imported, but over half of the national
needs are domestically produced. Rice is consumed by even the poorest
households, and imported rice is generally cheaper than locally produced rice.
Croix de Bossales is the largest market in the country and is located in Port
au Prince, where one-third of the country’s population lives. Hinche, in the
center of the country, is located in one of the most vulnerable areas. Jeremie
is the farthest market from Port au Prince and Jacmel is located in the
Southeast department, a department particularly exposed to cyclones and known
for having the highest rates of malnutrition in the country.
