Russia is losing rice market outlets?
06.01.2016
Rice
exports from Russia decreased by 67% in the current season. In July-November
2015 Russia exported 35.4 KMT of rice compared with 102.7 KMT during the same
period last year. It should be noted that in 2015 rice production was 5.8%
higher than a year before.Reduction of purchases from Russia by the main
importers of rice was the key reason for such developments. Thus, Turkmenistan
reduced rice imports from Russia by nearly 30% during the mentioned period, while
Turkey, being the largest importer of Russian rice, reduced
purchases by approximately 89% - to 7.4 KMT in July-November of the current
season compared with 66 KMT during the same time period in the 2014/15
marketing year..Most likely, Turkey has switched to other rice markets. In the
2014/15 season, the share of Russian rice in total imports by Turkey was more
than 40%. According to USDA estimates, Turkey will not cut rice imports in the
2015/16 season, but on the contrary, is going to increase import shipments by
4%.

JAKARTA, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Indonesia is
bolstering its rural flood defences to help farmers protect crops from monsoon
waters and the La Nina weather pattern, its agriculture minister said on
Wednesday.Indonesia is a top producer of cocoa, palm oil and coffee, as well as
a major importer of rice and raw sugar. It has forecast that the La Nina
weather pattern will strengthen from mid-2016.Any reduction in output of these
crops could support global prices or lead to greater imports as domestic
supplies dwindle in Southeast Asia's biggest economy.
La Nina is a cooling of the tropical waters of
the Pacific that is a counterpart to the El Nino weather event that is
characterised by warmer waters.Indonesia is repairing irrigation systems and
installing water pumps in areas likely to be worst hit, such as East Java,
Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman told reporters, adding that rice planting
was also being accelerated."La Nina (will) possibly occur in
October," Sulaiman added. "We're preparing early in anticipation, just
like last year when we made early preparations to face the drought."
Sulaiman said discussions with state food
procurement agency Bulog were underway over domestic rice buying but declined
to comment on imports, adding that harvests may be delayed a little and that
Bulog currently had stocks of 1.2 million tonnes.Rice imports are a contentious
issue in the country where President Joko Widodo is faced with fast-rising food
prices but is also pursuing self-sufficiency to protect farmers.Despite the self-sufficiency
push, Indonesia expected to have imported 700,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam
and Thailand by the end of 2015, a government official said last
month.(Reporting by Bernadette Christina Munthe; Writing by Michael Taylor;

Gov't to Import Rice from Pakistan, India
WEDNESDAY, 06 JANUARY, 2016 | 20:30
WIBTEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The
government announced its plan to import rice from Pakistan and India after
procuring rice from Vietnam last year.Trade Minister Thomas Trikasih Lembong
said that the government had signed a memorandum of understanding with Pakistan
without agreeing the amount, price and the shipment schedule yet.“We’re
currently looking at the legal and technical aspects, as well as the
medium-quality rice stocks in Pakistan,” Thomas said at his office on
Wednesday, January 6, 2016.Thomas added that talks with India were at the early
stage, and no memorandum of understanding had been signed yet.
Last
year, India’s rice export value reached US$3 billion.According to Thomas rice
imports from Pakistan and India may be necessary to secure rice supplies and
stabilize prices. Thomas revealed that President Joko Widodo during a cabinet
plenary meeting held yesterday instructed the Trade Ministry and the
Agriculture Ministry to maintain food commodity prices.Thomas said that the
plan to import rice from the two countries would be necessary to anticipate a
delayed harvest season as a result of El-Nino that occurred in the second semester
of last year. In addition, the government would be faced with a threat posed by
La-Nina.Thomas added that the government was focusing on maintaining a low
inflation rate.“The 3.3 percent inflation rate is a good momentum. Moreover,
primary goods prices, such as those of premium rice, have been well maintained
regionally,” he said.

The
government is sounding out the possibility of importing rice from India and
Pakistan amid low rice stocks following a prolonged dry season.“We are still
negotiating imports with India and Pakistan,” said Trade Minister Thomas
Lembong in Jakarta on Wednesday.The government, Thomas said, was still
preparing a government-to-government Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on rice imports
with the Pakistani government. The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) was studying
the technical details of Pakistan’s rice stocks, he went on.
“We are
also proposing an MoU with India, as it has for years been the world’s largest
exporter of rice. They export between US$3 billion and $4 billion worth of
white rice a year,” said Thomas. Earlier,
Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution said that because of last year’s
prolonged El Niño, the rice planting season had been put back from October to
November. As a result, harvest time in several areas across Indonesia suffered
delays, leading to depleted rice stocks in the first quarter of 2016."We
have calculated that we still have only 1.35 million tons of rice in March.
Normally, we have 1.5 million tons.
To
fulfill the shortage of rice, we’re looking at signing MoUs with Myanmar and
Pakistan,” Darmin told a press conference last week. He further explained that the agreements were a
precaution measure to anticipate reduced rice stocks, which could in turn lead
to surging prices of basic commodities. "The estimated domestic production of rice
at the end of March this year will be 1.35 million tons […] From the end of
March to April, our rice production will improve as the effects of El Niño
gradually lessen," he said.

FAO: Vietnam's
rice exports, prices increase
1/5/2016
- by World Grain Staff
HANOI,
VIETNAM — Vietnam’s 2015 summer/autumn rice production is estimated at a record
level of 14.8 million tonnes and the winter crop output is anticipated to
remain close to last year’s high level, according to a Dec. 28 GIEWS Country
Brief from the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).Good
yields help offset a marginal contraction in planted area. Overall, the 2015
aggregate rice production, including the winter/spring harvested earlier in the
year, is set at 45.1 million tonnes, close to the 2014 record level. On
average, the winter/spring paddy crop amounts to about 46% of the annual paddy
production, while the remaining two seasons, summer/autumn and winter, account
for 32% and 22%, respectively.Rice exports in 2015 are forecast at 8.3 million
tonnes, 4% up from last year’s high level, reflecting strong import demand from
China and a recent large contract with Indonesia.
The
wholesale prices of rice, the main staple food, increased considerably in
November, underpinned by large government-to-government deals with the
Philippines and Indonesia. Overall, rice prices remained lower than their
year-earlier levels following two consecutive years of bumper outputs.Vietnam’s
planting of the 2016, mostly irrigated, main winter/spring rice paddy crop
started in mid-November in the south and continues until March in the north,
Overall,
favorable weather conditions and fewer incidences of floods since November
allowed farmers to start planting early. According to official estimates from
the General Statistics Office (GSO), as of mid-December, winter/spring rice in
the south had been sown on 1.1 million hectares, some 4% above the area planted
by the same time last year. Despite the fast pace in this season’s paddy
plantings so far, which is positive for the production outlook, there are some
concerns over low water levels in the Mekong River, following considerably
reduced rains since early 2015, associated with the ongoing strong El Niño
event in the upper basin countries, namely Cambodia and Laos. The low water
levels for irrigation coupled with less alluvial deposits in the fields and
intensified salinity intrusion, could have a negative impact on the yield
potential of the winter/spring crop.
Harvesting
of the 2015 summer/autumn season crop was completed in October and that of the
minor winter crop is nearing completion. Below-average rainfall from April to
July over the Central Highlands, North Central and Central Coastal areas, and
parts of the southern main rice-growing Mekong River Delta, delayed planting of
both crops. A more normal pattern of rains resumed from late July over the main
rice producing areas, allowing the pace of paddy planting to pick up. The
improved moisture conditions were also beneficial for yields.
Official
estimates put the 2015 aggregate (winter/spring and summer/autumn) maize crop
at a record level of 5.3 million tonnes, up 2% from the 2014 bumper level. The
year-on-year increase is the result of a record 2015 main winter/spring
harvest. Some losses of the 2015 summer/autumn crops were caused by prolonged
dry weather from April to July, particularly over parts of Central Highlands,
North Central and Central Coastal areas.

Gov't Accelerates Planting Season to Anticipate La Nina
WEDNESDAY, 06
JANUARY, 2016 | 16:00 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The government has decided to speed up
rice planting season to anticipate the La Nina weather phenomenon that could
causes more frequent rain. "The important thing now is to accelerate
planting season because rain has begun to fall," said Agriculture Minister
Amran Sulaiman on Wednesday, January 6, 2016.According to Amran, the decision
was based on President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's instruction to
accelerate the government's infrastructure project contracts' implementation.
Amran
said that the Agriculture Ministry has signed several infrastructure project
contracts worth Rp 30.46 trillion, equals to 15 percent of the State
Budget.Amran continued that the government has taken flood prevention measures
by normalizing irrigation canals and preparing water pumps in addition to
building shallow water catchment wells for regions that are predicted to
experience lesser rain.Based on the Agriculture Ministry records, West Java and
East Java are two of the flood-prone provinces. "In Jombang we have
anticipated flood with [installing] pumps and conduct primary and secondary
normalization for irrigation," said Amran.

Neutral’ year, La Nina equally
likely this year: Australian Met
VINSON KURIAN
The HinduLa Nina is the alter ego of El Nino
and could coincide with the annual Indian monsoon if it were to occur as
predicted during the second half of this year.
La Nina risks dry weather in US, rain in
Australia; may develop in aftermath of warm El Nino
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JAN 5:
A ‘neutral’ year and a La Nina are equally
likely for the second half of the New Year (2016), according to the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology.La Nina is the alter ego of El Nino and could likely
coincide with the annual Indian monsoon if it were to occur as predicted during
the second half of this year.
Equally
likely
Models suggest that both a neutral year and La Niña are equally likely in the
second half of 2016, with a repeat of El Nino the least likely outcome, the
Australian Bureau said.Even a ‘neutral year’ (neither El Nino nor La Niña)
could likely ensure safe passage of the monsoon, which was a disaster in the
year just past after being hit hard by one of the strongest El Nino events in
the past 50 years.The monsoon ended up with a deficit of 14 per cent in 2015,
the second consecutive drought year, and only the third such instance in the
last 100 years.
Peaks over
La Nina is traditionally associated with a normal to above-normal Indian
monsoon although there is no direct one-to-one relationship between the two.The
Australian Bureau said based on 26 El Nino events since 1900, around 50 per
cent have been followed by a neutral year, while 40 per cent have been followed
by a La Nina.It added that available signs indicated the El Nino of 2015 may
have peaked over. It quoted climate models to suggest that the 2015-16 event
will decline during the coming months.Its impact on weather worldwide has been
so entrenched that the winter that ensued has proved to be a warm one with
adverse implications for the Rabi crop in the North-West.
Dry winter
It was among the driest the national capital has witnessed with not even one
chill-inducing rainy day. It was also notable that December saw the least
number of dense fog days in at least five years, leading to fewer flight and
train disruptions.
Normally, the peak season for dense to very
dense fog conditions prevails over the entire North-West, especially New Delhi,
during a critical one-month period from December 15.
But this year has been different, with
weather-inducing western disturbances that bring crucial precipitation to
North-West India and dense fog in the region, being less frequent.
Those reporting in did not have the required
amplitude to trigger the usual thundershowers over the Rabi landscape.

Govt aims to clear current 13m tonnes of stockpiled rice by
mid-2017
The Nation
January 6, 2016 1:00 am
The Commerce Ministry expects
to clear the remaining 13 million tonnes of rice stockpiled in the government’s
warehouses within the next 18 months.
This will partially be achieved by the
targeted sale of least 2 million tonnes of rice through
government-to-government (G2G) deals this year, mainly with China, the
Philippines and Indonesia.The government this year will focus on strategies to
clear its rice stocks and create sustainable growth for rice production and
marketing, Chutima Bunyapraphasara, permanent secretary of the ministry, said
yesterday."The government expects to sell the remaining 13 million tonnes
of rice from the stockpiles within a year and a half, with at least 2 million
tonnes being sold through G2G contracts this year," she said.
This
year, Thailand should be able to export at least 9 million tonnes of rice in
total, against almost 10 million tonnes that were shipped in 2015, she added.To
facilitate more exports, Chutima said the government was currently considering
providing soft loans for rice exporters that penetrate new markets - especially
those in Africa - as they would face a high risk in diversifying sales to such
areas.
Meanwhile,
the ministry anno-unced it was proceeding with four key working strategies this
year: a plan to develop rice production and marketing under a 20-year strategy
for the sector; driving export and service business growth; reform of the
ministry's responsibilities as a trade facilitator; and adoption of technology
and innovation in its work. She said that since trade was a key economic driver
for the Kingdom, the ministry would focus on these four strategies to support
sustainable long-term growth. Meanwhile,
the Thai National Shippers' Council yesterday predicted that Thailand's overall
exports this year would return to positive growth, at 2 per cent, from a
contraction of about 5.5 per cent in 2015.
However,
council chairman Nopporn Thepsithar said Thai shipments this year would not be
as bright as the government expected because of many risk factors, mainly the
economic slowdown in China and depreciation of the yuan, conflicts in many
countries, and declining oil and crop prices.To drive export growth, he said
the private sector should work closely with the government in supporting export
expansion.He also called for the government to link trade strategies with the
Kingdom's 20-year development plan, so that all government agencies and private
enterprises could adopt the plan and work at the highest possible efficiency to
achieve the goals.

Laos Plans to Record Rice Yield of 4.2
Million Tonnes in 2016

Written
by KPL
VIENTIANE, LAOS: The Lao government has an ambitious plan to
increase the nationwide rice yield to 4.2 million tonnes to ensure adequate
supply for domestic consumption and export.Rice crops are expected to be
planted on more than one million hectares in 2016.The Ministry of Agriculture
and Forestry said that the annual yield of rice is expected to be 4.2 tonnes
per hectare.The ministry said that its 2016 target includes ensuring the
availability of 2.1 million tonnes of rice for domestic consumption, one
million tonnes for trading in the country and export, 640,000 tonnes for
processing, 400,000 tonnes for reserve purposes, and 60,000 tonnes for seeding.
The production of dry season rice is expected
to cover about 120,000 hectares, an increase from 102,000 ha recorded last
year.“To achieve the set targets, we have to determine the production areas for
rainy and dry seasons across the country,” said Director General of the
Planning and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry, Mr Xaypladeth Choulamany.All relevant sectors must monitor the rice
production process and water supply closely in order to ensure effective rice
production, he said.We must also repair existing irrigation systems that are damaged
in order to ensure sufficient water for the rice, Mr Xaypladeth.The ministry
estimates that the amount of rice needed for consumption and reserve purposes
is around 2.5 million tonnes.

El
Nino's Peak Has Weather Forecaster Warning of La Nina
La Nina risks dry weather in parts
of U.S., rain in Australia
·
Weather event may develop in
aftermath of warm El Nino pattern
The El
Nino that disrupted weather worldwide last year has peaked. Now forecasters are
predicting what may be next for the world’s climate.A number of El
Nino-Southern Oscillation indicators suggest that the 2015-16 El Nino has
peaked and weather models predict it will decline in coming months, Australia’s
Bureau of Meteorology
said on its website on Tuesday. Conditions will
return to neutral during the second quarter with a chance of La Nina in the
second half of 2016, it said.La Nina is a cooling in the equatorial Pacific
Ocean, sometimes thought of as El Nino’s opposite.
The two are extreme
phases of a naturally occurring cycle, according to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Based on the 26 El Nino
events since 1900, about 50 percent have been followed by a neutral year with
40 percent by La Nina, according to Australia’s weather bureau.“Neutral and La
Nina are equally likely for the second half,” the bureau said. A repeat of El
Nino is the least likely outcome, it said.The current El Nino is rated as one
of the three strongest since 1950. The warming of the equatorial Pacific
changes weather worldwide, bringing drought to parts of Asia while the southern
U.S. can get more rain. Its effects helped palm oil cap its best year since
2010, while sugar posted its first
annual gain in five years.
Roiling
Markets
La Nina can also roil agricultural markets as
it changes weather. A large part of the agricultural U.S. tends to dry out
during La Nina events, while parts of Australia and Indonesia can be wetter
than normal. Citigroup Inc. has said that a transition to a strong La Nina may
present significant upside potential for grains price volatility.The previous
La Nina began in 2010 and endured into 2012. Conditions
typically last between 9 months and 12 months, while some episodes may persist
for as long as two years, according to NOAA. Both La Nina and El Nino tend to
peak during the Northern Hemisphere winter.

Thailand Suspends Rice Shipment to Iran over Saudi
Crisis
BANGKOK
- Thailand has temporarily suspended a shipment of one million tons of rice to
Iran as a reaction to the current diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and
Iran, officials said.Thai authorities will consult with their diplomatic
outposts in both countries before making a decision in February on whether to
continue selling rice to Iran, sources in the Thai Foreign Trade Department
told Efe.Thailand, which this year regained its status as top rice exporter in
Southeast Asia, plans to export over 9 million tons of rice in 2016, valued at
$4.8 billion, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran after the
execution of Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr in Riyadh on Saturday sparked
attacks by enraged Iranian civilians on the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and on the
consulate in Mashhad.The crisis has raised concerns among the international
community, which has called for calm in both countries to stop escalating
tensions that could affect peace negotiations for other countries in the region
including Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

Thailand plans 2m more tonnes of
G-to-G rice sales
Jan 2016 at
08:19 3,681
The Thai government aims to sell over 2 million
tonnes of rice this year on a government-to-government (G-to-G) basis.But it
admits a renewed attempt to sell rice to Iran may hit a snag because of
escalating political conflict in the Middle East.Chutima Bunyapraphasara,
Commerce Ministry permanent secretary, said the government has a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with China for 1 million tonnes.Commerce Minister Apiradi
Tantraporn said on Dec 3 the government was expected to sign a deal soon to
sell an additional 1 million tonnes of rice to China.
Mrs Apiradi's announcement came after the
ministry signed a deal to sell 1 million tonnes of rice to
the China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation, a
Chinese state-owned food conglomerate. The Dec 3 deal was part of a
2-million-tonne lot for which Thailand and China signed a MoU in December 2014.
The rice delivery amounts to 100,000
tonnes a month starting early this year.In addition, Thailand is in the process
of delivering the remaining 100,000 tonnes of rice to China under an
earlier deal for 1 million tonnes struck by the Yingluck
Shinawatra government.Ms Chutima said additional interest was expected
from Indonesia and the Philippines because of anticipated lower supply from
drought conditions.
The ministry set a target of 9 million tonnes
of rice shipments this year, worth $4.78 billion. Last year, Thailand
was projected to ship 10 million tonnes worth $5.1 billion.She said the
national rice policy committee's meeting chaired by Prime Minister Gen Prayut
Chan-o-cha late last year endorsed a plan to sell the government's rice stocks
on credit.The commerce and finance ministries were tasked with jointly
considering the credit line for potential buyers, particularly for purchases
bound for new markets.The Commerce Ministry reported in late 2015 that since
the May 2014 military coup, a combined 8.27 million tonnes had been sold from
18.7 million left over from various rice schemes, fetching 103
billion baht. It sold 4.87 million tonnes via auction, earning 52.6 billion
baht, while G-to-G sales tallied 3.4 million tonnes worth 50 billion baht.
Of the rest, 12 million tonnes were categorised
as Grade P, which passed ministry certification and is a mix
of Grades A and B, or in slightly poor condition and in need of
sorting for improvement. Some 6 million tonnes were rated substandard.

with the bird repellent Anthraquinone have been resolved, clearing the way for
the agency to issue a two-year Section 3 registration for use on
rice. This conditional Section 3 registration will allow the product
manufacturer to produce one further toxicology study. Assuming the study
shows no health or other issues, a full registration could then be
issued. For now, there is no need for the states to file Section 18
emergency exemption applications with EPA. (Section 3 is a full Federal
registration of a pesticide while a Section 18 exemption authorizes EPA to
allow unregistered use of a pesticide for a limited time if the agency
determines that an emergency condition exists.)
AV-1011 is ready for use under its new
two-year Federal label, however, the manufacturer must still proceed
to acquire state registrations.Anthraquinone, a naturally occurring chemical
found in many species of plants has been found to meet the requirements for an
effective bird repellent as a seed treatment on a variety of crops including
sunflowers, trees, and rice.USA Rice has helped states, manufacturers, and
members acquire both Section 3 and Section 18 status for a number of products
over the last several years, and is working toward an unconditional Section 3
registration for this important product.

Rice Comment
Rice
futures turned lower in today's trade, but traded within Tuesday's trading
range. March charted a bullish key reversal yesterday, and is potentially
working on charting a bull flag, which would suggest the potential of adding an
additional 70 cents to the market from the breakout point if the chart pattern
holds. There is also a chart gap between $12.31 and $12.41 that could be an
upside target for bulls. The market is finding support from tightening world
stocks and concerns about the current El Nino weather pattern impacting
production.
