Rice exporters pessimistic about
market prospects
28 Jan 2016
at 08:11
Rice exports are expected to
have another difficult year as the world market is likely to be
volatile amid foreign exchange and oil price risks, according to
exporters.Charoen Laothammatas, president of the Thai Rice Exporters
Association, said the association projected shipments would slip to 9
million tonnes this year worth about US$4.3 billion.Last year Thailand
exported 9.79 million tonnes, down 10.8% from 10.97 million tonnes in 2014.
Export value also dropped by 15.2% to $4.61 billion from $5.43
billion.Thailand shipped 1.2 million tonnes of in December, a fall of 17.5%
from the same month last year. Export value dropped 22.5% to $536
million.Thailand was the second-largest rice exporter last year. India led
the way with 10.2 million tonnes, down 5.3%, while Vietnam was third after
shipping 6.61 million tonnes, up 2.4%.
"This year will be another year of much
uncertainty, not only because of low oil prices that affect the purchasing
power of our clients in the Middle East and Africa but also because of
volatile foreign exchange and drought conditions that are expected to trim
milled rice production by 4-5 million tonnes," Mr Charoen said.He said
the global rice market was expected to see stiffer competition thanks to
widespread drought.
|
We believe Thai rice prices have bottomed out and
should pick up after now being quoted at only $360-$365 a tonne, the lowest in
10 years," Mr Charoen said.
Thai rice prices averaged $471 per tonne last
year.Chookiat Ophaswongse, an honorary president of the association,
said white rice was expected to account for 4.9 million tonnes of this year's
exports, down from 5.26 million in 2015.Vietnam, which will be less affected by
drought because its rice fields are along river basins, will export more white
rice. Drought conditions will also trim Thailand's opportunity to
ship new grains.Shipments of Thai Hom Mali fragrant rice are expected to
fall to 1.8 million tonnes this year from 1.99 million in 2015 because
demand for premium rice in the world market is expected to fall given the
global economic slowdown.
Mr Chookiat said parboiled rice shipments were
also expected to fall to 2.2 million tonnes this year from 2.32 million last
year because the economies of African countries remained in poor
condition, while more African consumers were buying cheaper parboiled rice from
India.Vichai Sriprasert, another honorary president, said rice exporters were
worried about the impact of falling oil prices on the African market,
particularly Nigeria.Nigeria normally buys about 3 million tonnes of Thai rice,
but last year it imported only 644,000 tonnes.

Rice self-sufficiency tack was a mistake–Neda
By Cai
U. Ordinario & Mary Grace Padin
The
Aquino administration committed a mistake in gunning for rice self-sufficiency
as it proved to be too costly, the National Economic and Development Authority
(Neda) said on Thursday.Outgoing Economic Planning Secretary Arsenio M.
Balisacan said the government’s self-sufficiency policy even contributed to the
increase in poverty incidence in 2014.“We might have to revisit our
self-sufficiency paradigm. As we have seen in some cases, it has been very
costly. For example, in the case of rice in 2013-2014, when domestic prices
shot up as global prices were declining, our poverty incidence rose rather than
declined even as the economy grew faster,” Balisacan said.Studies including
those made by Philippine Institute for Development Studies research fellow
Roehlano Briones said the government’s resources were largely focused on rice,
a water-loving crop and the country’s food staple.
Briones
said the government’s rice spending reached P37.44 billion in 2012, almost half
of the government’s total agriculture spending for that year. Data showed the
government spent a total of P62.64 billion for agriculture-related programs and
projects. This was significantly higher than the P14.38 billion spent in
2005.Despite this, government spending for other crops like corn amounted to
only P951 million in 2012; high-value crops, P1.63 billion; coconut, P2.08
billion; livestock, P2.72 billion; and P3.3 billion for fisheries.“If we let
the numbers for the past six years speak for themselves, the agricultural
sector persists to be the biggest road block in our goal for attaining a higher
and more inclusive growth,” said Balisacan, who is also Neda director general.
“There
is an urgent need to rethink the development strategy for this sector,
especially in view of El Niño and other natural disasters that could hit the
country,” he added.Former Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno said the anemic
performance of the agriculture sector slowed GDP growth in 2015. He said
agriculture “strikes at the heart of the inclusiveness” of the country’s
economic performance last year.Agriculture contracted by 0.3 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2015, from 4.2 percent in the same period a year ago. He added that
the six years of the Aquino administration also did not do much to improve
agriculture growth. Diokno said the current administration neglected
agriculture.He said that from 2011 to 2015, agriculture only grew by 1.6
percent, significantly lower than the country’s population growth
rate.“President Aquino ranked second to the last among past five presidents [in
terms of agriculture performance]. Agriculture grew, on average, by 6.5 percent
during Estrada’s truncated term; 2.8 percent under Arroyo’s; 1.9 percent under
Corazon Aquino’s; and 0.8 percent during Ramos’s term,” Diokno said.The Aquino
administration rolled out the Food Staples Sufficiency Program (FSSP) to make
the country self-sufficient in rice.
Rice
provides 45 percent of Filipino’s calorie intake and its production is
considered the main source of livelihood in rural areas.The average
rice-consumption spending accounts for 20 percent of a household’s budget. This
is higher at 30 percent for the bottom 30 percent of Filipino families.The
government also said more than 2 million households are engaged in rice
farming, millions more are farm laborers, and thousands are into rice trading.
Despite
the difficulties posed by El Niño to the rice sector, the Department of
Agriculture (DA) said on Thursday it is targeting a higher palay output of 19
million metric tons (MMT) for 2016.This figure is 4.68 percent higher than the
country’s total palay production of 18.15 MMT for the whole year of
2015.Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala told reporters in an interview the
department’s total palay output target is still short of the volume needed to
achieve 100-percent rice self-sufficiency in the country. He said this is due
to budget constraints.“For us to meet rice self-sufficiency, we need to produce
about 20 MMT of palay.
But the budget we requested to meet the 20 MMT
was not approved,” Alcala said.He said the DA has submitted a higher budget for
2016 so it can meet its 100-percent self-sufficiency target this year. He,
however, did not provide the specific figure.Alcala said the additional amount
would have been used to provide more seeds to farmers and to
implement more interventions to help them.“We have requested for additional budget but it was not granted. So don’t expect higher rice production,” Alcala said.The DA and seven of its attached agencies received a total of P48.45 billion in budget for 2016.
implement more interventions to help them.“We have requested for additional budget but it was not granted. So don’t expect higher rice production,” Alcala said.The DA and seven of its attached agencies received a total of P48.45 billion in budget for 2016.
But aside from the general appropriations,
special provisions were also given to DA programs and projects.The national
programs for rice, corn, high-value crops, organic agriculture and livestock,
received a total provision of P14.04 billion, according to data from the
Department of Budget and Management.Data from the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA) showed that the country’s total palay production for 2015
declined by 4.31 percent to 18.15 MMT from 18.97 MMT recorded in 2014.The PSA
said the country’s palay sector, along with the corn industry, suffered the brunt
of El Niño and the strong typhoons which hit the country last year.For the
first half of 2016, the PSA projected that the country’s palay production would
reach 8.20 MMT, 1.48 percent lower than the 8.32 MMT recorded in the same
period last year.

Experts for more aromatic rice
cultivation
Published : 28 Jan 2016,
17:34:39 | Updated : 28 Jan 2016, 17:37:32
Expanded
cultivation of the highly environment-adaptive indigenous aromatic rice
varieties could save those from extinction and bring more profits to the
farmers than other rice varieties.Agriculture experts expressed the opinion at
a result-sharing workshop styled 'Yield Performance of Five Local Aromatic Rice
Cultivars' organised by RDRS Bangladesh, a reputed NGO, at its Training Centre
here on Wednesday.
Agriculture and Environment Coordinator of
RDRS Bangladesh Mamunur Rashid delivered keynote presentation on the research
work titled "Yield Performance of Five Local Aromatic Rice
Cultivars". He said the filed level experimental cultivation of the
selected aromatic rice varieties was conducted adopting scientific ways at
Manthona Farm during the just ended Aman season from July to December in 2015.
The main objective of this study was to explore the yielding ability of the selected
five local aromatic rice cultivars with a view to select high yielding
varieties with strong aroma for promotion of their cultivation in northwestern
Bangladesh. "Among the cultivated rice varieties, the highest grain yield
rate of 3.5 tonne per hectare was obtained from 'Ijon' followed by 3.4 tonne
form 'Kataribhog', 3.3 tonne from 'Jirakatari', 3.15 tonne from 'Chinigura' and
3 tonne per hectare from 'Kalijira'," he said.
In this regard, a crop cutting ceremony was
arranged in presence of Dr. Shahidul Islam on November 29 last at Manthona Farm
with participation of 29 farmers and 11 agricultural scientists and extension
workers. "After the crop cutting ceremony, the participants ranked
'Jirakatari' with top marks followed by 'Kataribhog', 'Kalijira', 'Chinigura'
and 'Ijon' respectively," Mamunur Rashid added. The experts said aromatic
rice varieties are rated best in quality and fetch much higher price in both
national and international markets having long been popular in the orient and
are now becoming more popular in Middle East, Europe and the United States. Ali
Azam said aromatic rice cultivars in Bangladesh are of traditional types, photo
period-sensitive and are grown during the Aman season in the rain-fed low land
ecosystem surviving for time immemorial as the most adaptive to the
environment.
"The yield of aromatic rice is low
between 1.5 to 2 tonne in term of clean rice per hectare but its high price and
low cultivation cost generate higher profit margins for farmers compared to
other rice cultivars," he added. Predicting brighter prospect for expanded
cultivation of indigenous aromatic rice varieties, the chief guest said these
cultivars might play vital role as parent varieties in developing high yielding
aromatic rice to bring more profits to the farmers, according to BSS. -

Financing for Cuba Trade OK'd, Ag
Left Out
WASHINGTON, DC -- This week, the Obama
administration announced a new Treasury rulethat authorizes additional U.S. exports to Cuba
and permits the private financing of these exports in an effort to strengthen
trade relations not controlled by the Cuban government. In a joint
announcement with the Secretary of the Treasury, Commerce Secretary Penny
Pritzker said the changes are designed to "strengthen civil society"
in Cuba. Exports of U.S. food and agriculture to Cuba, which have been
permitted in U.S. statute for more than 10 years, were not affected.
Sales of U.S. food and agriculture products to Cuba continue to remain ineligible
for direct financing as they "primarily generate revenue for the
state." For example, all rice imports into Cuba are controlled by
ALIMPORT, the government agency that coordinates all overseas purchases and
authorizes the import of products to Cuba.
"While this announcement is another move
towards normalized commercial relations with Cuba, it's disappointing that U.S.
rice farmers and exporters remain hampered by U.S. government regulations and
laws that stand in our way of fully meeting Cuba's import demand for
rice," said Dow Brantley, an Arkansas rice farmer and chairman of USA
Rice.
On February 10, USA Rice will support the
U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba (USACC) event commemorating both the
coalition's public launch one year ago and all changes to U.S.-Cuba policy
since December 2014. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack will speak
at the event as will two key rice-state allies on Cuba policy, Congressmen Rick
Crawford (R-AR) and Ted Poe (R-TX). A panel of representatives from
various agricultural commodity groups, including rice, will discuss our
relations at present and the impact access to Cuba could have for U.S.
agriculture.
OU biology research helps protect world’s food supply
Wednesday, Jan
27, 2016
Zijuan Liu, associate professor of biological
sciences, and student Joseph McDermott are working together to identify arsenic
transporters in plants.For
the past several years, Zijuan Liu, Ph.D. and doctoral student Joseph
McDermott, from Oakland University's Department of Biological Sciences, have
been working on groundbreaking research that promises to stave off a major
threat to the world’s food supply. They are collaborating with a team of
scientists from China, Germany and the United States to discover how arsenic accumulates
in plant seeds. Arsenic is a toxin and carcinogen that is pervasive
in food and water, endangering the health of tens of millions of people
worldwide. While the process of how arsenic is taken into roots and shoots of
plants is fairly well understood, little is known about how arsenic gets into
seeds.
Understanding how arsenic is accumulated in
seeds – such as rice grain – is of critical importance to global health. Rice
is a staple food for more than half the world’s population. In China, for example,
about 60 percent of daily dietary arsenic comes from rice consumption, as
reported in the journal “Metallomics.” In the U.S., the average person consumes
about 25 pounds of rice per year, according the U.S. Rice Producers
Association.Fortunately, Dr. Liu and the research team are making strides in
finding out how arsenic builds up in plant seeds. As reported in the journal
"Nature Plants," the researchers discovered that the
plant "A. thaliana" uses transport systems for inositol, a type of
sugar, to load arsenite, the toxic form of arsenic, into seeds.
According to Dr. Liu, this is the first
identification of transporters responsible for arsenic accumulation in seeds.
The discovery could lead to far-reaching breakthroughs in protecting the
world’s food supply, she says.“If this same pathway of how arsenic accumulates
also exists in rice, it will lead to the generation of new rice cultivators
with less arsenic in the grain, a major advance toward minimizing the global
health risks posed by arsenic in rice, and possibly in the near future, in
other food sources,” Dr. Liu said.
As the research team continues to make
progress, Dr. Liu is proud of her collaboration with McDermott, who was an undergraduate
student when the work began.“I put a lot of faith in undergraduate student
research,” Dr. Liu said. “This result indicates our school has run a successful
program to attract students who are interested in research.”

Will Vietnam have to compete with
Lao rice in China?
VietNamNet
Bridge - Vietnam has been warned that China will import rice from Laos instead
of Vietnam, but many Vietnamese in the industry do not believe this will occur
in the near future.
|
|
Shenzhen officials on January 10 announced that the first consignment of rice imports from Laos, 87.8 tons, worth $746 million, passed quarantine procedures at the Shenzhen port in the southern part of China.China, which has been mostly importing rice from Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan, has added Laos to the list of rice suppliers.Meanwhile, Vietnam has reported a decrease in rice exports. The General Statistics Office (GSO) showed that Vietnam had exported 6.07 million tons of rice by the end of November, worth $2.58 billion, a 7.4 percent decrease from the same period of 2014.
China remains the biggest export market for Vietnam, which consumed 33.4 percent of the total rice exports.However, Nguyen Trung Kien from Ipsard, an institute on agriculture development, noted that Vietnam rice’s market share in China is on the decrease.

China remains the biggest export
market for Vietnam, which consumed 33.4 percent of the total rice exports.
|
Sixty five percent of Chinese rice imports were
from Vietnam in 2012-2013, while the figure dropped to 53 percent in 2014 and
47 percent in the first fourth months of 2015.Experts say Vietnamese want to
export to China because it is an easy-to-please market, which has high demand
for rice. Meanwhile, China wants Vietnam’s rice because it is cheap thanks to
geographical conditions.
However, Vietnam no longer has the advantage as its 25 percent and 5 percent broken rice prices are near prices offered by Thailand and India.Therefore, experts have warned that Vietnam, in the future, would have to compete with a lot of rivals to penetrate the Chinese market. They said the volume of rice from Laos and Cambodia remains modest, but the rice has higher quality than Vietnam’s and therefore, has a competitive edge in the Chinese market.
Minister of Planning and Investment Bui Quang Vinh warned that if Vietnam cannot reform the way it organizes production, processing and trading, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar would become formidable rivals.
Nguyen Van Ngai from the HCM City Agriculture and Forestry Agriculture pointed out that while Vietnam has exploited nearly all the advantages it has, Laos and Cambodia still have great natural advantages. Meanwhile, Vo Thanh Do from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said there was no need to be too worried about this.
Do said that China’s actual rice demand was much higher than 4 million tons that it had announced before. China would still need Vietnam’s rice, and this will not change in the short term.

News in numbers | India becomes world’s largest rice exporter, as Thailand
declines
Apple iPhone sales grow at slowest rate ever;
India ranks 76th in global corruption index
India’s
total rice shipments saw a 7.3% decline in volumes and an 18% fall in value in
the April-November period of the current fiscal. Photo: Hemant Mishra/Mint
800,000
What is it? The number of iPhones sold by Apple in India in the last three months
of 2015, according to Counterpoint Technology Research.
Why is it important? This is the highest ever sales recorded
in the country, a 76% growth from a year ago. However, this is less than 3% of
the total smartphones sold in India during the period. Globally, Apple
reported flat sales of its flagship smartphone, which
accounts for over two-thirds of its revenue, in this period, a reason
it’s turning its attention on India. The company said it is “increasingly
putting more energy” into the country’s youth and their rising disposable
income. Recently, it sought the government’s approval to open its own retail
stores in India.
Tell me more: Analysts are worried that China’s economic slowdown (it
reported the lowest numbers in 25 years) might impact Apple’s growth. Greater
China accounted for nearly a fourth of Apple’s fourth quarter revenue.
76
Why is it important? It has moved up nine positions from the
previous year’s 85th ranking. Its grade index score of 38 out of 100 (100 is
the least corrupt) compares poorly with Denmark’s 91, the top country in the
index. This shows India has a long way to go in weeding out corruption. One of
the key promises by the National Democratic Alliance government has been to
improve India’s ranking in the ease of doing business index and position
it among the top 50 countries. To do so, India would have to tackle
corruption quickly, which has been cited as the main obstacle in doing business in the country by a 2014 KPMG report.
Tell me more: Brazil reported the worst
decline in rankings,
down seven positions to the 76th position, as a massive scandal erupted at its
state-run companies.
Rs.6 trillion
What is it? The amount the Indian government could earnbased on the telecom regulator’s recommendations on the reserve price for spectrum in the
700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz bands.
Why is it important? This would be the highest-everamount earned by the government from spectrum
auction, if it accepts the regulator’s recommendations. The 700 MHz band, which
is known to be the best for offering mobile broadband and 4G services and is being offered under the auction
for the first time, could alone contribute to aroundRs.4 trillion. The telecom
companies are reeling under massive debt (Rs.3.5 trillion as of April 2015) and it remains to be seen how
far they are willing to stretch their balance sheets to participate in the next
round of auction.
Tell me more: Telecom operators, including Bharti
Airtel and Idea Cellular, have opposed the sale of spectrum in the 700 MHz
band, saying it should be done only when the operators are ready with the
devices and equipment to operate the airwaves.
$3 billion
Why is it important? The Indian government is seeking to not
only become self-sufficient in the defence sector but also to become one of the
world’s biggest arms exporters. If India achieves the $3 billion target, it
would transform the country from an arms importer to a major seller. In
2014-15, it sold defence equipment worth around $150 million to other
countries, a mere 0.25% of the $64 billion global defence trade. In contrast,
India’s arms imports totalled to $5.57 billion in 2014.
Tell me more: According to Anurag Garg, director of
defense at Strategy&, a consulting group of PwC, state companies account
for 80% of defence production and there is heavy reliance on the private sector
to design military hardware, which is “no easy task”.
10.23 million tonnes
Why is it important? This makes India the world’s largest rice
exporter, beating Thailand. India’s top position comes not from its scaling up,
but by Thailand’s decline. Thailand’s rice exports were down by 10.8% to 9.8
million tonnes on a year-on-year basis. The Southeast Asian country attributed
this to global economic slowdown, particularly in countries with high rice
demand and decrease in purchasing power of nations due to falling oil prices.
India’s total rice shipments saw a 7.3% decline in volumes and an 18% fall in value in the
April-November period of the current fiscal. It is likely to post lower export
figures in 2015-16 than the 11.92 million tonnes shipped in 2014-15.
Tell me more: Fall in shipments of the basmati rice
variety to Iran, one of the largest buyers from India, and tepid demand from
African countries (mainly Nigeria) are the main reasons for the fall in India’s
rice exports.
Quick. Healthy. Here.
Fast-casual
restaurants go fresh and delicious
JANUARY 28, 2016
PAULIUS MUSTEIKIS
“Fresh.
Local. Gluten-free. Healthy.
Small Batch.” All the buzzwords.With that lingo, you might easily mistake the
restaurant being described for someplace like Graze, James Beard Award-winning
Madison chef Tory Miller’s farm-to-table, “fresh from local pastures” gastropub
on the Capitol Square.It is, however, the tagline for Glaze, a New York
City-based chain of eight counter-service teriyaki restaurants — call it a
boutique chain — spread across the U.S. from Manhattan to San Francisco, with a
location slated to open this spring in Madison.
Glaze is
just one of a handful of fast-casual spots that have found Madison an
attractive market in recent months — Freshii, Naf Naf Grill, Bowl of Heaven,
Forage Kitchen and Freska Mediterranean Grill have all opened within the past
year. They share similar concepts, focusing on customizable bowls, salads and
wraps, and often freshly squeezed juices and fruit smoothies.
Fresher,
healthier eating is coming to fast food in a big way, and we’re not talking
about McDonald’s serving more salads. These spots don’t serve burgers; fruits
and vegetables are the focus, not a sidelight. “Proteins” — from steak to tofu
— are add-ons, not the centerpiece of the dish.
A decade
ago, the big hamburger chains began seeing competition from more upscale chains
dubbed “fast-casual” — places like Panera Bread, Chipotle and Noodles. Though
these spots still had counter service, they offered more attractive decor than
the standard burger joint, more customizable dishes and the perception of
better-quality ingredients.
Fast-casual
continues to gain market share in the restaurant industry, encompassing
everything from upscale burgers (think Five Guys, Mooyah) to pizza, but there’s
recently been a strong upsurge of fresh and healthy. FastCasual, an industry website, publishes a yearly “Top
100” list of movers and shakers in the fast-casual segment, and it’s full of
descriptions not normally associated with chain food. These up-and-comers
“source local and organic ingredients from local farmers” (sweetgreen); serve “chef-crafted foods that are grown
responsibly and sustainably” (the vegan Native Foods Cafe); are
“farm-to-table” and committed to “ingredients with no added hormones or
antibiotics” (Modern
Market); reduce their food miles to increase flavor (MAD Greens); butcher their own meat (Asian Box); and pick most produce “fresh daily” for
“slow food done fast”(Tender Greens).
These restaurants have an array of fresh
veggies at the ready. Grain choices from quinoa to black rice. Proteins from
free-range organic chicken to goji-chipotle organic tempeh. Staff whip up your
salad or bowl in a matter of minutes, usually for less than $10 a meal.
Is this for real?
Best of both worlds
Diners are looking to get the “best of both
worlds,” says Craig Thompson, professor of marketing at the UW-Madison business
school. They want convenient, fast food that tastes good and is also good for
their health.
Thompson, who studies alternative food systems,
thinks the rise of healthier fast-casual restaurants is part of an overall
backlash against fast food that’s been ongoing for well over a decade, spurred
by the publication of Eric Schlosser’s Fast
Food Nation and the
release of Morgan Spurlock’s film Super
Size Me.
But since these works raised the public’s
consciousness, even the way we talk about food has shifted. “Ten or 15 years
ago it was all about fat,” Thompson says. He credits food writers like Michael
Pollan and Mark Bittman with shifting the emphasis away from counting calories.
Now, consumers are more likely to look for food that is fresh and unprocessed.
When customers see their salads, wraps and
bowls created right in front of them, it highlights that “this is being freshly
prepared,” says Thompson. “This translates into ‘This must be good for me.’”
And what is “good for me,” exactly?
“There’s so much conflicting information out
there,” Thompson notes. “Who do you trust? At some point as a consumer, you
can’t research every option.”
That’s why consumers are often willing to pay a
premium to let a brand — like Whole Foods or Chipotle — do their vetting for
them. “Consumers rely on the brand and place faith in that, until proven
otherwise,” says Thompson. That’s why Chipotle’s recent incidents nationwide
with food-borne illnesses have been so devastating. Sales have plummeted and
confidence in the chain is at a low.
At
Freshii, the message is as important as the menu.
“I built that”
Making your own meal without having to cook it
yourself brings new meaning to the phrase “have it your way.” And it’s fun. A
smorgasbord of colorful fruits and veggies are at the ready, to be combined in
kaleidoscopic variations. Go slightly southwestern with a rice bowl topped with
avocados, black beans and a cilantro lime vinaigrette, or head east with tofu,
cabbage, carrots and lemongrass dressing all rolled up in a wrap of kale. Go
crazy and add beet slaw, even though it matches neither of these cuisines.
Because you love beets. It really is all up to you.
Greater customer control over what’s on the
plate is key in today’s dining scene. That’s why choose-your-own assembly line
ordering has become so widespread in fast-casual.
Susan Quam, executive vice president of the
Wisconsin Restaurant Association, says her group has definitely taken note of
the trend.
Consumers aren’t just saying they want healthier options — they’re
actually putting their money where their mouths are and acting upon it, says
Quam.
“Build-your-own” is clearly on the rise here in
Wisconsin, Quam confirms, with sandwiches, wraps, salads, bowls, ramen, even
fresher takes on pizza (where customers have been building their own for years)
being created at the order counter.
“The build-your-own concept is being driven
especially by younger diners, who look at food as an expression of themselves
and not just fuel for their bodies,” says Quam. It’s important for them to “be
able to choose what’s in their food, even though someone else is making it for
them.”
Customization also makes it easier to cope with
many diet needs — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, paleo, raw, low-carb. Several
restaurants (Chipotle and Naf Naf, for instance) have dynamic nutrition
calculators on their websites. Calories, sodium and grams of fat automatically
add up on the right side of the screen as you add options like steak or
chicken, tofu, rice, pickles and hummus to your meal.
This extensive info on everything from amounts
of saturated fat to cholesterol, sodium, carbs and protein is a hidden benefit
to eating at a chain restaurant. It’s unusual for an independent, locally owned
restaurant to have this kind of accounting available, althoughFit Fresh Cuisine in Fitchburg has been a pioneer in this
locally. The six-year-old restaurant lists calories, carbs, fiber, fat and
protein for its small menu of açaí bowls, smoothies, scrambles, salads and
sandwiches.
But Thompson sees an overall change in customer
mindset: These days, people feel less of a need to count calories. “A
restaurant like Freshii is saying, ‘We are serving you fresh, healthy food, so
you can eat this without worries or guilt,’” says Thompson. And that’s
liberating. “The consumer is thinking, ‘I don’t have to worry about rice; rice
is natural, I can just eat and relax.’ I think that’s a big part of the
promise.”
The bottom line? It’s okay because it’s not a
McNugget.
Kathy Humiston, a longtime member at the Willy
Street Co-op, penned a history of “hippie food” for the co-op’s Reader back in 2008. Brown rice, tempeh, soy,
beans, sprouts — these staples of today’s “bowl” cuisine were introduced in the
late 1960s and early ’70s by what were then called “natural food” advocates,
reacting against the canned vegetables and Wonder Bread diets of their
childhoods.
Once obscure even to those who started the
co-op, these ingredients are now close to mainstream. “I love it that whole
foods are starting to show up in many different restaurant venues,” says
Humiston. “I would love to see this become the new standard.”
Humiston got serious about changing her diet
when she became pregnant with her first child in 1983, and like many of her
peers, vowed she would raise her children on better food than she ate when she
was a kid.
Now that members of that generation are adults,
they expect to find better food options when dining out, Humiston notes:
“They’ve eaten this way virtually their entire lives. Other stuff doesn’t taste
right or have the appeal to them.”
Having grains like quinoa, forbidden rice and
brown rice available at chains “opens up new possibilities for more people,”
says Humiston. And isn’t that what the hippies were all about?
State
Street’s Forage Kitchen prioritizes local sourcing in entrees like the Local
Roots salad.
Not a chain
Not every healthy fast-casual restaurant is a
chain. State Street’s new Forage Kitchen, which opened last fall, is owned and
operated by Henry Aschauer and Doug Hamaker, who also run Roast Public House.
The two had the idea for Forage even before they opened Roast in 2012, says
Aschauer, but it was more of a challenge to create: “If it were easy, everyone
would do it.” A salad- and grain-bowl-based restaurant that tries to source its
ingredients locally is a lot easier to do in a place like California, he notes.
Forage “is in tune with how we live our lives
these days,” says Aschauer. “Madison is ready for this; we are ready for this
as a nation.”
Katie Brozen, chef at Forage Kitchen, created
its menu. Brozen attended the health-focused Natural
Gourmet Institute culinary
school in New York City (its motto is “Kale, quinoa and community since 1977”).
In addition to teaching all the traditional
culinary skills, the school goes into sourcing, nutrition and the healthy,
healing side of cooking, says Brozen.
After working in restaurants in Manhattan and
opening a small vegetarian restaurant in Brooklyn, Brozen moved to Madison to
help open Forage. She liked Aschauer and Hamaker’s focus on global inspiration:
“I love how other cultures have a better relationship with food than America,”
says Brozen.
Build-your-own bowl and salad spots are huge in
New York City, and Brozen visited many to “see what they were doing and how
they were doing it.” If the mission is to attract people who are just learning
how to eat healthy, says Brozen, variety is crucial. “We need to bring those
people over to the other side and show them that healthy food doesn’t have to
be boring. Or just lettuce.”
Brozen likes to “take an ordinary vegetable and
give it its own personality and a ton of flavor.” She spends a lot of her time
trying to source as many local products as possible for the restaurant.
Wisconsin “has fantastic product, but in the colder months, it has been a
challenge,” says Brozen.
One of Forage’s most popular items is the
“Power Bowl,” a grain base (brown rice is the default, but it can be made with
black rice or quinoa) topped with tender rosemary lentils, sweet potatoes,
poblano slaw, jerk chicken, guacamole and a green goddess dressing. It’s creamy
and crunchy, sweet and savory, hot and cold — craveable 21st-century comfort
food.
“We care about everything that goes into the
food, so people get that idea of home,” says Brozen. “It’s a well-cooked meal
on the go that’s not just flying at you as fast as possible.”
Thomas Paras, former owner of Amy’s Cafe
downtown, has just opened a fast-casual restaurant, Freska Mediterranean Grill,
at Greenway Station. He terms it “like a Chipotle, but what I like to serve and
the way I like to serve it.” The customizable sandwiches, salads and plates
with a variety of toppings and sauces vary in healthfulness, says Paras —
“Gyros meat is not diet, but chicken is” — and other add-ons like hummus,
babaghanoush and tabouli are healthy. He also points to his “super slaw,” with
kale, beets and cabbage.
Paras researched other
Mediterranean/Chipotle-style fast-casual restaurants via the Internet before
opening Freska. “Everybody’s doing it,” he says. “Probably somebody else is
checking me out now.”
Inspiration?
Outright health claims from these restaurants
vary, as does the transparency of their sourcing.
A spot like Naf Naf limits itself to describing
its fare as “fresh, authentic Middle Eastern food,” while Bowl of Heaven goes
more overtly into the health benefits of its signature ingredient, the açaí
berry (“twice the antioxidants of blueberries, plus omega fats, amino acids,
proteins, anthocyanins, fiber, iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other
phytonutrients”).
Other claims from restaurants about being more
responsible and sustainable bring up other, more thorny, questions. Has a
location of a national chain devoted to sustainable sourcing put a locally
owned mom-and-pop restaurant out of business?
Has the sudden, ravenous American quest for
healthy quinoa caused environmental damage where the crop is grown in Bolivia
and Peru?
And what about some of those processed
alternative foods for vegans, like Tofutti cream cheese (which includes
partially hydrogenated soy bean oil, maltodextrin, nondairy lactic acid, locust
bean, guar and carrageenan gums, vegetable mono and digycerids and potassium
sorbet)?
Locally, Forage Kitchen lists some of its
purveyors on its website — bread from Batch, tempeh from Milwaukee’s Simple
Soyman, goat cheese from Nordic Creamery, cage-free eggs from Lake Mills and
sprouts from Supercharge here in Madison. This kind of accountability is easier
for a one-location restaurant than it is for a chain with outlets from coast to
coast, where getting enough of the same ingredient to create a consistent
product from outlet to outlet remains a challenge.
Chef
Katie Brozen of Forage Kitchen strives to give vegetables “a ton of flavor.”
Katie Brozen of Forage limits the amount of
fat, salt and sugar in her foods. Only extra-virgin olive oil is used in
dressings; some are oil-free. “We use pure sweeteners like organic cane sugar,
coconut sugar and honey, and sparingly, only to bring the flavors together,”
says Brozen. “Same for salt. It’s an essential ingredient that we use to
enhance the natural flavors in the vegetables, versus having everything just
taste like salt.”
Freshii takes a more inspirational route, with
slogans emblazoned across wall-sized blackboards in-store: “Let’s eat without
regret. Let’s love kale. Let’s embrace quinoa.... Let’s eat things that make us
feel good.” Sourcing is not specified.
Is this food always healthy? It’s certainly
possible to pile on enough dressings, cheeses, rice, pita sides and guacamole
to rack up a considerable number of calories, but even so, grains and fresh vegetables
are going to be healthier than processed and fried foods.
Craig Thompson is doubtful, however, about some
of the more specific health claims for certain ingredients. From a marketing
standpoint, he says, “Some of these chains are benefiting from the hype around
alternative diets and the quest for magic-bullet solutions to what ails us as a
society.”
And there are differing opinions on what
constitutes a healthy diet. “Some people claim there are tremendous health
benefits [to an açaí berry];” says Thompson. “Others will say, that’s just an
expensive blueberry.”
Is Dane County full?
Madison, with its college population and
growing millennial workforce, does have a demographic desirable for chains like
Freshii and other vegetable-centric leaders like Lyfe Kitchen, sweetgrass and Native Foods. But Susan Quam
of the Wisconsin Restaurant Association says that such chains would look not
only at our demographics but at how many restaurants we already have. And Dane
County is very dense.
Plus, the location needs to be just right, one
that younger diners want to be in and can get to easily. “They all want to have
the best spaces available,” says Quam.
Still, as people dine out more frequently (in
April of 2015, the U.S. Dept. of Commerce reported that for the first time
ever, Americans spent more money eating out than they did at grocery stores),
diners are likely to continue to want more healthy options across the eating
spectrum and even more customizability. And they’re going to continue to want
to eat these on the run or bring them home for easy post-work dinners.
“That’s not going away,” says Quam.
The latest in fast and healthy
Bowl of Heaven
717 Hilldale Court
The star is açaí bowls and smoothies. Açaí
bowls are more or less smoothies served in a bowl, composed of a blend of
fruits like açaí berries, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries and banana, and
even fresh kale and spinach, topped with organic hemp flax, granola and honey.
Served icy cold, they’re better that way. Fresh juices, too, are made to order.
Unique ingredients: MAQ7, a blend of the maqui berry, the gac fruit
and five others you’ve never heard of; purple corn
Forage Kitchen
665 State St.
Salads and grain bowls form the heart of the
menu. A dozen pre-designed salads and two pre-designed bowls are on the
chalkboard, or have the staff build your own from a wide variety of veggies and
other add-ons. Small dining area; there is a lot of take-out. Açaí bowls; fresh
fruit/veggie juices made on site but pre-bottled at the counter.
Unique ingredients: citrus-marinated fennel, goji-chipotle organic
tempeh, black (“forbidden”) rice
Freshii
422 Gammon Place
Freshii has a large menu of salads, wraps,
grain bowls, soups, burritos and juices. Customers can also create their own by
checking off options on a printed ticket; then counter staff will make it up.
This speeds up the assembly line process (there’s no last-minute indecision, or
“what’s that?” conversations with the staff) and makes pricing and extras
completely clear. You can also sign up for a juice cleanse program. Juices are
made-to-order.
Unique ingredients: turkey carnitas, spicy lemongrass, mango
Freska Mediterranean Grill
8310 Greenway Blvd., Middleton
Build-your-own pita sandwiches, rice plates,

NFA may delay 400K MT rice import
The
Philippines, one of the world’s top rice importers, could delay its planned
additional purchase of up to 400,000 tons of the staple food as local supply
remains adequate, the National Food Authority (NFA) said yesterday.The
country’srice stocks stood at around 900,000 tons as of last week, enough to
cover 29 days of local consumption, with an additional 500,000 tons of grain
imports from Vietnam and Thailand expected to arrive within the first quarter,
the National Food Authority said.The NFA Council, a panel composed of government
economic managers that approves rice importation, met on Tuesday to discuss the
country’s rice purchases but did not finalize the volume and timing of the next
deal.
“There
is no decision yet because there is no urgency to import. We have sufficient
supply,” an aide of NFA Administrator Renan Dalisay told Reuters.The
Philippines was looking to buy up to 400,000 tons of the grain for delivery in
the second quarter, and may need an additional 800,000 tons to cover this
year’s requirements, Dalisay said in a Jan. 12 interview with Reuters.On
Monday, the statistics agency said paddy harvest in the first quarter is likely
to be more than 5 percent lower than a previous forecast due to a crop-damaging
dryness linked to the El Niño weather pattern.Crop losses last year due to El
Niño turned out much smaller than expected.Rice demand from the Philippines is
keenly watched by traders as it could underpin export prices of the grain from
Vietnam and Thailand, the country’s main suppliers and the world’s third- and
second-biggest sellers respectively.

Rice Comment
Rice futures traded in a
wide range on either side of unchanged before closing higher near the middle of
the day's trading range. March approached resistance at $11.50 before reversing
course. A close above $11.50 could signal a move toward a retest of the $12
area, while support is at the recent low of $11.65. The weekly export reports
were delayed until tomorrow due to the blizzard that has affected DC
this week.
