Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter News Detail…

12m Farmers Join Rice, Wheat Revolution President Muhammadu Buhari President Muhammadu Buhari has declared the administration’s Anchors Borrowers’ Programme a huge success, saying 12.2 million farmers have joined the rice and wheat revolution while the country is moving close to self- sufficiency in major grains.The President, who was represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, spoke at the 25th Edition of the Nigeria Media Merit Award (NMMA) Ceremony in Lagos on Wednesday.He said the success of the agriculture revolution has turned thousands of rice farmers into millionaires and drastically reduced rice import.”Apart from the successes we have achieved in tackling insecurity and fighting corruption, perhaps our most remarkable progress has been in the area of agriculture. Quietly but steadily, our agriculture revolution is bearing fruits. ”According to the Rice Exporters of Thailand, rice imports from Thailand fell from 644,131 tons in Sept 2015 to 20,000 tons in Sept. 2017, representing a 95% drop,” President Buhari said, noting that self-sufficiency in rice is so important because it is the most widely consumed staple in Nigeria, and also because Nigeria’s daily expenditure on rice for over three decades stood at $5 million a day!

He said Nigeria is also doing well in Millet, Sorghum and Maize cultivation, adding: ”We are now the second largest producer of sorghum after the US, the third in millet after India and our breweries are now enjoying local sourcing of those commodities. For maize, we are producing 10 million tons while we need about 13 million tons for both human and animal nutrition.”

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter The President said Nigeria leads the world in the yam and cassava production and that efforts are being made to restore and improve on the country’s ranking in cocoa production, where it has fallen from 2nd to 7th position. ”We are also investing in a new line of tree crops targeting local and foreign end users and certain to earn foreign exchange. These are shea butter, palm trees, coconut, mangoes, bananas and plantains, kenaf and sisal hemp, castor and pineapple, among others. Overall, our ambition is that agriculture should rise from 25% to 40% of GDP so that we can banish poverty and overcome our economic anxiety,” he said.

President Buhari hailed the NMMA, which he called the preeminent media excellence award, and said the Nigeria media has done well over the years hence it deserves to be celebrated.

He, however, urged the media not to allow those who brought Nigeria to a sorry pass to muddle the waters by creating their own narrative which is far from reality. ”This is important because there seems to be a feeling of numbness among the citizens about the conduct of those whose actions brought us here. Suddenly, these same people are engaging in revisionist history and blaming those who are working themselves to the bone to correct the misdeeds of the past. They are blaming everyone but themselves for the mess they threw the country into,” the President said.

He said those who mismanaged the country have shown no contrition, no apologies, no shame, but instead have engaged in sheer bravado, unbridled arrogance and revisionism, adding: ”The media owes it a duty not to allow Nigerians to forget, to say ‘Never Again’ to those who view Nigeria as nothing but a cash cow to be milked to death.” https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2017/12/14/12m-farmers-join-rice-wheat-revolution/

Anchor Borrowers: Meeting Nigeria’s local rice need December 15, 2017 TAIWO HASSAN

The country’s quest to attain self-sufficiency in rice production is gearing closer day-by-day as the Federal Government recently revealed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) has boosted local rice presence in Nigerian markets. TAIWO HASSAN reports

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter

In the beginning When the idea to attain self-sufficiency in rice production in the country was mooted by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government in 2014, many Nigerians did not believe that it would come to reality since they have been accustomed to foreign rice being imported from Thailand, Brazil, India, USA and UAE. One thing that convinced the administration to insist self-sufficiency was the continued rise in the country’s import bill on importation of rice. Prior to the initiative, Nigeria was spending about $22 billion annually on food.

However, in 2015, during one of the Federal Executive Council meeting (FEC) in Abuja, the Federal Government agreed on the need to float an Anchor Borrowers Programme to be managed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which focus would be to increase the country’s quest for selfsufficiency in rice production.

CBN’s ABP The Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) was conceived out of the CBN’s resolve to achieve a strong and viable agriculture base with more integrated value chains, enhanced food security, fewer imports and higher productivity.

In line with the Federal Government’s target of achieving food security for the country, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, explained that the APB was one of the apex bank’s initiatives to pursue creation of jobs, reduction in food imports, and diversification of the economy.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter He said: “The programme aims at creating economic linkages between over 600,000 smallholder farmers and reputable large-scale processors with a view to increasing agricultural output and significantly improving capacity utilisation of integrated mills.”

It was established with a view to collaborating with anchor companies involved in the production and processing of key agricultural commodities.

Specifically, the APB has been pushed for rice and wheat farmers in 14 states, Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano, Zamfara, Admawa, Plateau, Lagos, Ogun, Cross-Rivers and Ebonyi, to advance their status from smallholder farmers to commercial or large growers.

This has become essential as the Federal Government has set a target of 2018 and 2019 for selfsustenance in rice and wheat, a target that is achievable if the success being recorded in Kebbi was replicated in other states that had been penned down for the programme.

President Buhari’s comment On food security, the president said that his vision of repositioning Nigeria as a food-secure nation was on course as the country is on the verge of attaining food security.

He attributed the development to positive agricultural reform programmes and bumper harvest occasioned by good weather.

According to him, interventions through the Anchor Borrowers Programme of the CBN and the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative, among others, have been very successful in the agricultural reform initiative.

“People have gone back to the farm. We got the CBN, agriculture minister and money was provided at very low interest to farmers and the farmers responded and it was very positive. “We are lucky that we are in a position to feed ourselves. So we are going to have food security in Nigeria earlier than anybody ever thought,’’ he noted.

Rice targets However, recently, Nigeria inched closer to achieving self-sufficiency in rice production as the administration announced that it was already targeting seven million tonnes production of the commodity in 2018.

According to the government, the giant stride in the country’s agric sector could be traced to the agricultural reform policy that has transformed the sector.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had stated that rice demand in the country as at 2015 stood at 6.3 million tonnes.

He said that due to the success recorded by the administration in local production of rice, importation dropped from 644,131 tonnes in 2015 to about 21,000 tonnes in 2017.

The minister added that as a result of the success recorded in local production of rice, some investors from Thailand had shown interest in establishing rice milling plants in Nigeria.

No doubt, the country’s quest to attain self-sufficiency in rice production has seen the establishment

These rice mills demonstrate the commitment of the current administration to assist off-takers and processors to contribute their quota towards attaining self-sufficiency in rice production in Nigeria.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter India's 5 percent broken parboiled rice prices gained by $10 per tonne to $416-$419 per tonne.

"Sentiments have improved due to the demand from Bangladesh. Traders are speculating it could buy more in the first quarter of the next year," an exporter based in Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh said.

Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major importer of the grain this year after floods damaged its crops, will import 150,000 tonnes of rice from India in a state deal priced at $440 a tonne, two food ministry officials said last week.

Meanwhile, India's paddy rice supply from new season crop has started rising, but aggressive government buying has been keeping prices firm, exporters said.

The appreciating rupee also forces exporters to raise prices for overseas buyers, said another exporter based in Kakinada. A stronger rupee trims exporters' returns.

Meanwhile, demand in Thailand and Vietnam remained weak as Christmas and New Year holidays in some importing countries kept buyers away from the market, but exporters were optimistic about the fresh deals.

"As it is approaching the end of the year, buyers are not active at the moment," said a Bangkokbased trader.

Thailand's benchmark 5 percent broken rice eased to $390-$400, free-on-board (FOB) Bangkok, from $401-$405 a tonne last week.

Traders remain hopeful as the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council is to resume gradual political engagement with Thailand, and there are possibilities for resuming talks on an EUThailand Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

"If the EU-Thailand FTA materializes, this should help boost Thai rice exports to the EU a bit.

However, the EU isn't currently a big buyer of Thai rice," said the Bangkok-based trader.

In Vietnam, benchmark 5-percent broken rice was quoted at $390-$400, compared with $395 a week earlier.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Traders said some private importers from Philippines have approached Vietnamese traders for rice deal talks, as Philippines' National Food Authority approved their import quotas under the country's Minimum Access Volume 2017 program.

"This year's quota seems to be lower. I think Filipino importers might buy around 50,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam," a trader in Ho Chi Minh City said.

However, another trader said buyers would wait for fresh supply and better offers when the major winter-spring crop season completes in February. http://jakartaglobe.id/asia-pacific/asia-rice-india-prices-climb-bangladesh-demand-thailand-vietnammarkets-muted/

Scientists are making smoothies with potato milk December 13, 2017 - 06:20 A Swedish food scientist has made a milk substitute out of potatoes. This is said to be more neutral in taste than soya or oat milk.

By: Eirin Bruholt The smoothie here is made of potato milk and fruit. (Photo: Kristina Lindgärde) If you go to any well-stocked supermarket you will find many milk options. You no longer need to choose between light, whole or skim milk – or any other varieties from cows.

Plant-based products are growing in popularity. You can enjoy steaks or cheese made of soya beans. But milk alternatives on the shelves might be made of soya, almonds, coconuts, rice, cashews or oats. If that isn’t enough, make way for potato milk.

The move toward getting plant-based products more available has many roots.

Researchers estimate that between one and three percent of the Norwegian population has a milk or dairy-product allergy and these persons need alternatives. Choosing a plant-based diet that excludes animal products can also be better for the environment.

Most of the customers for these foods are vegans by choice.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Vegans do not eat anything animal; no meat or fish, no milk, cheese, eggs or even honey. Everything has to come from plants. This can be difficult, as animal products or by-products

dominate the market. This is one of the reasons why the Swedish food researcher Eva Tornberg wanted to create potato milk. “One matter of concern, it can be hard for vegans to get a sufficient intake of vital omega-3, which is mainly found in fatty fish,� says Tornberg in a press release from Lund University.

Controlling how the body deals with waste products is one of the roles of omega-3, according to a study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.

Neutral taste with plenty of omega-3 Technically, it can be hard to convert plant-based products into creamy products like milk. This is because plant proteins are more difficult to extract than animal proteins.

Tornberg has discovered the creaminess can be achieved if the protein and starch in

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter potatoes is heated in a specific way and mixed with rapeseed oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. “The great thing about the potato is that it lacks taste,� explains Tornberg.

The plan is to produce and sell the product as an alternative to milk, yoghurt, cream and ice cream. The milk has been tested in the laboratory and in a factory and the hope is it will be commercially available next year. The first product is likely to be a smoothie made of potato milk with apple juice and fruit.

Tornberg explains that the idea behind the smoothie is that it will serve as a great, nourishing between-meal snack. The drink will contain six percent rapeseed oil, which means that a 250ml smoothie covers half the daily requirements for omega-3. In addition, the product contains no allergens and can be locally produced. http://sciencenordic.com/scientists-are-making-smoothies-potato-milk

Scientists Use Primitive Wheat Varieties to Feed the Hungry in Senegal For the past four years, I have led an international research team that has made it possible to grow durum wheat in conditions of extreme heat along the Senegal River basin, a region highly affected by poverty. Our scientific breakthrough, essential in the fight against hunger in the region, has won the 2017 Olam Prize for Innovation in Food Security. To find this food solution, we didn’t use GM-breeding. Instead, we relied on advanced breeding techniques applied to strains of primitive and modern wheat to develop a set of durum wheat varieties that can not only withstand constant 35 to 40 degree Celsius (95 to 104 degree Fahrenheit) heat, but also grow remarkably fast, in only 92 days.

This discovery was only possible because, as scientists, we believed in the importance of the past and knew the treasures hidden in these ancient strains. We are certain that more solutions to adapt to the changing climates exist in this ancient gene pool, but

these can only be reached if investments continue to flow to support the tedious and neverending battle of breeding.

It is by no means an easy task, though. First came funding, which is the life blood of the scientific community. In early 2013, our international team of scientists from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Morocco, The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU Sweden), Senegalese Agricultural Research Institute (ISRA), and CNRADA Mauritania was awarded funds by the Swedish Research Council (U-Forsk2013) to assess durum wheat’s ability to withstand the heat of the Senegal River basin.

For four years our team planted, grew, and watched fail thousands of advanced breeding lines developed by the ICARDA’s breeding program. Yet, among the thousands, a few lines

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter maintained good productivity despite relentless temperatures well above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) throughout the growing season. Testing continued until we became confident that these lines could indeed be used for production under the harsh conditions of the Senegal River.

But the challenge did not end there. As the Senegal River basin is a major source of rice for West Africa, it would be impossible for farmers to drop this excellent crop in favor of a new and relatively unknown one. Hence, a second selection procedure was initiated to identify only those lines that could go from planting to harvest in less than 100 days—the short time period during which farmers leave their soils uncultivated (fallow) between two rice seasons.

After a few setbacks, the final achievement was to release two ICARDA durum wheat varieties—named Haby and Amina—capable of producing an average of three tons per hectare in just 92 days, a perfect fit for the region. These new varieties hold the potential, once scaled up, to occupy the 200,000 hectares of land currently cultivated with rice to produce 600,000 tons of new food, without impacting the rice harvests.

But how were these varieties developed in the first place? This was due to ICARDA’s commitment to holding one of the world’s largest gene banks for the preservation of historical, primitive, and undomesticated germplasm. This unique germplasm originated before modern agriculture, in some cases dating back thousands of years to the very beginning of agriculture itself, meaning that it has not undergone the process of domestication, and has therefore not been adapted to fit the “simplified environment” that humans have created for their crops through centuries of farming.

This offers scientists a wealth of primitive diversity and useful genes for adaptation to unfavorable climatic conditions. It is worth saying that ICARDA’s gene bank wealth of diversity has been generated through hundreds of missions conducted by international experts in some of the most remote areas of the planet, to collect and preserve these unique plants.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Among these specimens was a primitive emmer (botanical name: Triticum dicoccum) wheat collected in the proximity of Aleppo, Syria. Emmer, known as “farro” in Italy, was first farmed in the Fertile Crescent some 12,000 years ago, but it can still be found in cultivation today in small areas. Similarly, a second important component of this collection is a Syrian accession of goat grass (Ageilops speltoides), an edible weed often used for animal feed. These two primitive strains are at the basis of the varieties released today for the Senegal River.

In fact, both Haby and Amina are the result of crossing made in 2004 of these gene bank accessions with high yielding durum wheat cultivars, followed by breeding selection in Syria, Morocco, and ultimately Mauritania and Senegal. Their unique primitive backbone could ensure in the near future that the bare lands of the winter months along the Senegal River is forever changed into lustrous durum wheat crops, possibly helping lifting a million smallholder farmers’ families out of poverty and famine. Furthermore, these heat-tolerant varieties can be used by breeders around the world to protect the future crops of all countries from the changing climates.

But what would have happened if these primitive strains were not collected? Or if they had been lost to the war raging in Syria? Or if these were not utilized by ICARDA’s breeders? And how much of this powerful diversity have we already lost or will continue to lose around the World?

It is unquestionable that our path to a famine-free and sustainable future in spite of the degrading climates will pass through the exploitation by breeders of the treasure troves represented by the gene banks. It is then our responsibility to protect such diversity and promote its use by breeders and farmers. https://foodtank.com/news/2017/12/heat-tolerant-wheat-senegal/

Tight supplies and higher prices expected for 2017-18 rice crop Nathan Childs, USDA Economic Research Service, discusses domestic and global rice outlook at the USA Rice Outlook conference in San Antonio 13 Tight supplies indicate higher rice prices for 2017/18; building stocks will mean lower prices for 2018/19

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Ron Smith | Dec 13, 2017

U.S. rice farmers can expect tight supplies and higher prices for the 2017-18 crop year and will respond with increased acreage and anticipated higher production, assuming normal conditions.

The latest World Supply and Demand Estimate report, released Dec. 12, indicates U.S. rice acreage will be up 17 percent in 2018, up to 2.9 million acres. Estimates show a 3 percent yield increase — assuming normal growing conditions. Carry-in for both long-grain and medium-grain rice shows a sharp decline from 2017-18 and below recent five term averages.

Production will increase almost 24 percent from the 2018-19 crop, up to 224 million hundredweight, mostly from long-grain rice at a 28 percent increase to 161 million hundredweight. Medium- and short-grain estimates show a 13.5 percent jump to 59 million hundredweight.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Imports will increase slightly, up 0.8 percent, from Asian aromatic rices. Total U.S. rice supplies are expected to increase more than 10 percent, which sets up a likely price pullback for 2018-19.

Lower Prices for 2018-19 Prices could decline by 20 cents a pound, for the 2018-19 crop. “Farm prices for both classes of rice in the South and in California are projected to decline in 2018-19, mostly due to the much larger U.S. supplies,” says Nathan Childs, Economic Research Service, USDA. Childs, speaking at the closing session of the USA Rice Outlook Conference in San Antonio, Dec. 12, reporting on numbers fresh off the World Supply and Demand Estimates report released shortly before he spoke, said U.S. ending stocks are expected to show a substantial increase in 2018-19, with long-grain accounting for most of the production increase.

Global supply also increases, Childs said, in spite of some production setbacks. “Global supplies increase to a record 621.5 million tons, a result of a 4 percent larger carry-in,” he explained.

Global production was down 0.7 percent from the 2017-18 record, at 483.5 million tons (milled basis).

Production shortfalls occurred in Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, India, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and the United States, and more than offset larger production in Burma, China, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, Childs said.

Harvested area is projected down by 600,000 hectares from 2017-18 to 160.2 million hectares.

Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Philippines, and the United State all harvested less area, which “more than offset expanded rice area in Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.”

15

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Weather and Other Factors He cited several reasons for reduced rice area, including low prices at planting for U.S. growers, followed by weather issues — heavy rain and flooding early and a hurricane on the Gulf Coast late. Other countries lost production to flooding and drought; strict area controls in Egypt resulted in a switch to corn and cotton, and expectation of increased imports precipitated a decrease in the Philippines.

U.S. production dropped by 20.4 percent. Sri Lanka increased production by 45.2 percent. China is up 0.8 percent.

Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Burma, and Cambodia are increasing rice production area.

Childs said global rice supplies for 2017-18 are expected to be a record high, supporting prediction of lower prices. “Continued high producer price support in China increased area 4,000 hectares, despite huge stocks and record imports.”

Global consumption is also down, Childs said. “At 480.8 million tons, global consumption (including a residual) is 600,000 tons below the 2016-17 record and 2.7 million tons below 201718 production. Indonesia, Thailand, and the United States account for most of the expected decline in global consumption (including a residual component) in 2017-18.” China, Egypt, India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Vietnam will increase rice consumption.

Global ending stocks for 2017-18 will rise 2.7 million tons from 2016-17 figures and will be the highest since 2000-01.

16

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter As with other commodities, China is the overriding dynamic, holding more than two-thirds of the global ending stocks for 2017-18. Ending stocks for the top five exporters, India, Thailand, Viet Nam, United States and Pakistan, are down.

Childs says Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Iran are expected to import less rice in 2017-18.

The export market is significant for rice with 9 percent of global production traded annually.

“That’s double the share of 25 years ago,” Childs said. Thailand and India are expected to be top rice exporters in 2017 and 2018, and Burma is back in the export business with the highest anticipated rice export since before World War II. Childs said China had backed out of the rice export market for about a decade but has re-entered, “and now China exports more than 1 million tons of rice, and is also expected to remain the largest rice importing country, followed by Nigeria,” which is a distant second.

Childs says the U.S. faces difficulty trading with Asian countries because of the price differential, about $150 a ton, with other exporters.

Latin America Top Market The Western Hemisphere is the U.S. rice market. “Latin America typically accounts for about 60 percent of U.S. rice exports.” The figure would be higher, Childs said, if he included Canada.

Exports are projected to decline in 2017-18. “Through Nov. 30, U.S. all-rice exports were 9 percent below a year earlier, with rough-rice responsible for most of the decline. U.S. long-grain exports were 9 percent above a year earlier, with milled rice accounting for all of the increase.”

17

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Childs sees some good news from exports estimates. “Through Nov. 30, U.S long-grain sales and shipments to Iraq, Haiti, and Mexico were well ahead of a year ago,” he said. “But medium- and short-grain sales were well behind last year to northeast Asia, north Africa, and the Middle East.”

Other factors affecting 2018-19 markets include: • Big increase projected for total domestic and residual use, mostly due to a larger crop.

• Long-grain accounts for the bulk of the expected increase in domestic use.

• Increased exports of both classes of rice, with medium- and short-grain increasing at the fastest pace.

• A substantial increase in U.S. ending stocks, with long-grain accounting for the bulk of the increase.

• Farm prices for both classes of rice in the South and in California are projected to decline in 2018-19, mostly due to much larger U.S. supplies.

Childs says several factors could affect U.S. rice exports, including: • Will Venezuela remain a top buyer of U.S. rice? Venezuela has been a critical market for U.S. rice in recent years, despite political turmoil.

• Will competition from South American exporters in Mexico and Central America increase?

• U.S. sales to China?

• Will Turkey and Libya return as buyers of U.S. rice?

Dec 14, Colombo: Pakistan's influential and sole rice exporters grouping, Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP) has urged Sri Lanka to slash import tax slapped on their shipments to Colombo and to double the imports of Pakistani basmati rice.Chairman of REAP Rafique Suleman meeting with the Minister of Industry and Commerce of Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday pointed out that although rice imported from other countries to Sri Lanka are taxed only Sri Lankan cents 25 per kilo (SL Rs. 0.25) this is not so for rice coming from Pakistan. Suleman, leading an 11-member delegation of rice exporters told the Minister that many countries around the world are discouraging and stopping their rice exports and Pakistan is the only country in the world that does not restrict its rice exports.

"We, the Pakistani private sector control our country's total rice exports and no controls are imposed by the government on us. The Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP) has been doing business with Sri Lanka since 1996, supplying to state owned CWE and private sector" Suleman said.

He added that Sri Lanka is imposing higher taxes on Pakistani rice and even the non-Basmati and long grain varieties are taxed at the same rate as Basmati which is taxed at SL Rs. 0.5 (50 cents) per kilo.

The REAP Chairman also urged the Minister to increase the quota of duty-free basmati imports to Sri Lanka, if possible double it to 12000 MT. Under the Pakistan-Sri Lanka FTA, a mechanism was agreed in 2007 at the First Ministerial meeting between two countries to facilitate the import of basmati rice. Accordingly, a total of 6000 MT Basmati rice per year (on duty free) is allowed to be imported from Pakistan.

Welcoming the REAP's interest to enhance ties with Lankan market Minister Bathiudeen noted that Pakistani rice varieties have been sold in Sri Lankan market for a long time and many of Sri Lankan consumers are familiar with them but expressed reservations on the Pakistani exporters' requests.

"Your demands on import tax and quota issues appear to be reasonable -Still they also impact on bilateral tariff agreements as well as domestic food security and even our local rice farmers' wellbeing; Therefore I will have to consult all these stakeholders - including my officials, and higher levels before proceeding," the Minister said adding that he will review the issues raised and call for stakeholder consultations next.

In 2016, 3% of all imports from Pakistan to Sri Lanka are Pakistani rice at US $ 9.35 million (declining from $ 12 million in 2015). Rice was the eighth product imported to Sri Lanka from Pakistan in 2016 (number one was cotton, at $ 75 million followed at second by Portland cement at $ 65 million).

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Government to import rice, essential items until the Sinhala Tamil New Year season Thu, Dec 14, 2017, 11:48 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.

Dec 14, Colombo: The government has decided to continue import rice and other essential items so that consumers can obtain them at affordable prices during the forthcoming holiday seasons.Accordingly the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Economic Management chaired by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has taken a decision to import 100,000 metric tons of rice monthly until the Sinhala Tamil New Year season.

Meanwhile, the Agriculture Ministry is due to issue a projection of the paddy harvest of 2017/18 Maha and 2018 Yala harvest and according to the projected harvest, the government will import rice 100,000 metric tons of rice per month until the paddy harvest reaches the market in sufficient quantities.

Sri Lanka's annular rice requirement is about 2.4 million metric tons and due to the shortage of paddy harvest this year, 670,000 metric tons of rice, which is about 30 percent of the rice requirement, have been imported.

The cabinet subcommittee has also decided to allow any commercial institution to import rice in order to provide sufficient rice until the Sinhala Tamil New year season next year.

Accordingly, the duration of the 25 cents per kilo special commodity levy imposed on rice has been extended to 31 march 2018.

It was also decided to take measures to provide essential food items such as dhal, canned fish, big onions, potatoes, sugar and sprats to consumers without any shortages.

Importers have promised the government that they will sell those materials at the import price.

The government has agreed to provide relief to the importers for the extra expenses they would incur in importing and storing the items.

Meanwhile, as an alternative to the demand for coconut, the coconut milk producers and manufacturers have been permitted to import coconut flesh free of import taxes.

Relevant institutions have been instructed to provide the necessary approval to get the coconut flesh imports cleared from the harbor within a day.

Tapping into Ancient Strains to Bring Heat-Tolerant Wheat to Senegal

For the past four years, I have led an international research team that has made it possible to grow durum wheat in conditions of extreme heat along the Senegal River basin, a region highly affected by poverty. Our scientific breakthrough, essential in the fight against hunger in the region, has won the 2017 Olam Prize for Innovation in Food Security. To find this food solution,

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter we didn’t use GM-breeding. Instead, we relied on advanced breeding techniques applied to strains of primitive and modern wheat to develop a set of durum wheat varieties that can not only withstand constant 35 to 40 degree Celsius (95 to 104 degree Fahrenheit) heat, but also grow remarkably fast, in only 92 days.

This discovery was only possible because, as scientists, we believed in the importance of the past and knew the treasures hidden in these ancient strains. We are certain that more solutions to adapt to the changing climates exist in this ancient gene pool, but these can only be reached if investments continue to flow to support the tedious and never-ending battle of breeding.

It is by no means an easy task, though. First came funding, which is the life blood of the scientific community. In early 2013, our international team of scientists from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Morocco, The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU Sweden), Senegalese Agricultural Research Institute (ISRA), and CNRADA Mauritania was awarded funds by the Swedish Research Council (U-Forsk2013) to assess durum wheat’s ability to withstand the heat of the Senegal River basin.

For four years our team planted, grew, and watched fail thousands of advanced breeding lines developed by the ICARDA’s breeding program. Yet, among the thousands, a few lines maintained good productivity despite relentless temperatures well above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) throughout the growing season. Testing continued until we became confident that these lines could indeed be used for production under the harsh conditions of the Senegal River.

But the challenge did not end there. As the Senegal River basin is a major source of rice for West Africa, it would be impossible for farmers to drop this excellent crop in favor of a new and relatively unknown one. Hence, a second selection procedure was initiated to identify only those lines that could go from planting to harvest in less than 100 days—the short time period during which farmers leave their soils uncultivated (fallow) between two rice seasons.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter After a few setbacks, the final achievement was to release two ICARDA durum wheat varieties—named Haby and Amina—capable of producing an average of three tons per hectare in just 92 days, a perfect fit for the region. These new varieties hold the potential, once scaled up, to occupy the 200,000 hectares of land currently cultivated with rice to produce 600,000 tons of new food, without impacting the rice harvests.

But how were these varieties developed in the first place? This was due to ICARDA’s commitment to holding one of the world’s largest gene banks for the preservation of historical, primitive, and undomesticated germplasm. This unique germplasm originated before modern agriculture, in some cases dating back thousands of years to the very beginning of agriculture itself, meaning that it has not undergone the process of domestication, and has therefore not been adapted to fit the “simplified environment” that humans have created for their crops through centuries of farming.

This offers scientists a wealth of primitive diversity and useful genes for adaptation to unfavorable climatic conditions. It is worth saying that ICARDA’s gene bank wealth of diversity has been generated through hundreds of missions conducted by international experts in some of the most remote areas of the planet, to collect and preserve these unique plants.

Among these specimens was a primitive emmer (botanical name: Triticum dicoccum) wheat collected in the proximity of Aleppo, Syria. Emmer, known as “farro” in Italy, was first farmed in the Fertile Crescent some 12,000 years ago, but it can still be found in cultivation today in small areas. Similarly, a second important component of this collection is a Syrian accession of goat grass (Ageilops speltoides), an edible weed often used for animal feed. These two primitive strains are at the basis of the varieties released today for the Senegal River.

In fact, both Haby and Amina are the result of crossing made in 2004 of these gene bank accessions with high yielding durum wheat cultivars, followed by breeding selection in Syria, Morocco, and ultimately Mauritania and Senegal. Their unique primitive backbone could ensure in the near future that the bare lands of the winter months along the Senegal River is forever

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter changed into lustrous durum wheat crops, possibly helping lifting a million smallholder farmers’ families out of poverty and famine. Furthermore, these heat-tolerant varieties can be used by breeders around the world to protect the future crops of all countries from the changing climates.

But what would have happened if these primitive strains were not collected? Or if they had been lost to the war raging in Syria? Or if these were not utilized by ICARDA’s breeders? And how much of this powerful diversity have we already lost or will continue to lose around the World?

It is unquestionable that our path to a famine-free and sustainable future in spite of the degrading climates will pass through the exploitation by breeders of the treasure troves represented by the gene banks. It is then our responsibility to protect such diversity and promote its use by breeders and farmers. https://foodtank.com/news/2017/12/heat-tolerant-wheat-senegal/

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter USA Rice Acknowledges Industry Commitment to Conservation and Sustainability

By Deborah Willenborg SAN ANTONIO, TX -- At this year's USA Rice Outlook Conference, the rice industry's growing role in the conservation and sustainability sphere was spotlighted with two different awards, the USA Rice Sustainability Award and the USA Rice Distinguished Conservation Achievement Award.

Jim Whitaker, an Arkansas rice farmer from McGehee, received the first-ever USA Rice Sustainability Award.

In bestowing the award, Jennifer James, another Arkansas rice farmer and chairman of the USA Rice Sustainability Committee, said, "While sustainability is becoming a buzzword in nearly every industry, the rice industry has been incorporating it for years, and with the establishment of the USA Rice Sustainability Award we have taken our rightful place at the forefront of the sustainability movement."

Whitaker was quick to acknowledge the role everyone in his family's operation plays in their collective commitment to promoting sustainable farming practices through use of precision land forming, flood control structures, on-farm water storage, and deployment of irrigation technology and new irrigation techniques. The Whitaker operation also was an integral part of the group that sold the first-ever voluntary carbon credits generated from U.S. rice farmers.

Jim is currently a member of the Arkansas Rice Farmers Board, the USA Rice Farmers Conservation Committee, the USA Rice Domestic Promotion Committee, and the USA Rice Sustainability Committee. He is also a graduate of the 2010 USA Rice Leadership Program and was recently appointed to the Arkansas Rice Research and Promotion Board.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter A good number of farmers in the Malnad areas of Hassan district are cultivating native varieties of paddy, thanks to the encouragement by the Department of Agriculture promoting organic farming. Nearly 700 farmers have been growing native paddy varieties and are happy with the earnings. As they are certified organic growers, their produce is attracting demand. “When we began field work in 2007, traditional varieties of paddy were cultivated hardly in 100 acres,” recalled Jayaprasad Ballekere, chief executive officer of Bhoomi Sustainable Development Society. The Agriculture Department had involved the non-government organisation to promote organic farming in Sakleshpur, Alur taluks of Hassan and Somwarpet of Kodagu.

“A majority of farmers were after hybrid and improved varieties of paddy. Following constant efforts, now native varieties are grown in more than 1,500 acres in the three taluks,” he said.

Rajamudi considered good for diabetics, Navara with medicinal value, Ghamsala a scented variety, Rathna Choodi, Netti Bilakki, Holesalu Chippuga, Kempakki (red rice), and Kappu Akki (black rice) are the native varieties of paddy. “Holesalu Chippuga is the best variety for puffed rice. Last year, I sold paddy at ₹4,500 per quintal. Almost the entire yield goes to places like Sangli in Maharashtra and Davangere, where there are many puffed rice producing units,” said Y.C. Rudrappa, a progressive farmer of Yedehalli in Sakleshpur. He has been cultivating Holesalu Chippuga variety in eight acres of his land. Alur, Sakleshpur and Somwarpet taluks are known for heavy rainfall, which is well-suited for traditional varieties.

Lesser duration “Traditional varieties take 150-160 days for harvest and is suitable for this area. However, the duration of hybrid and improved varieties is about 120-130 days,” said Mr. Jayaprasad. The organic farmers of Hassan and Kodagu districts have formed a federation to market their produces. Mr. Rudrappa, who is chairman of the federation, said more than 3,500 farmers are part of it. The Agriculture Department and NABARD have helped the formation of the Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) and promote organically grown produce. V.G. Bhat, District Development Manager of NABARD, told The Hindu: “The bank has been encouraging organic farming. We have provided ₹9 lakh for the FPO. The response has been impressive.” http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/farmers-rediscover-organic-nativepaddy/article21666270.ece

Bangladesh, which has emerged as a major importer of the grain this year after floods damaged its crops, will import 150,000 tonnes of rice from India in a state deal priced at $440 a tonne, two food ministry officials said last week. Meanwhile, India's paddy rice supply from new season crop has started rising, but aggressive government buying has been keeping prices firm, exporters said. The appreciating rupee also forces exporters to raise prices for overseas buyers, said another exporter based in Kakinada.

A stronger rupee trims exporters' returns. Meanwhile, demand in Thailand and Vietnam remained weak as Christmas and New Year holidays in some importing countries kept buyers away from the market, but exporters were optimistic about the fresh deals. "As it is approaching the end of the year, buyers are not active at the moment," said a Bangkok-based trader.

Thailand's benchmark 5 percent broken rice eased to $390-$400, free-on-board (FOB) Bangkok, from $401-$405 a tonne last week. Traders remain hopeful as the European Union's Foreign Affairs Council is to resume gradual political engagement with Thailand, and there are possibilities for resuming talks on an EU-Thailand Free Trade Agreement (FTA). "If the EUThailand FTA materializes, this should help boost Thai rice exports to the EU a bit. However, the EU isn't currently a big buyer of Thai rice," said the Bangkok-based trader. In Vietnam, benchmark 5-percent broken rice was quoted at $390-$400, compared with $395 a week earlier.

Traders said some private importers from Philippines have approached Vietnamese traders for rice deal talks, as Philippines' National Food Authority approved their import quotas under the country's Minimum Access Volume 2017 program. "This year's quota seems to be lower.

I think Filipino importers might buy around 50,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam," a trader in Ho Chi Minh City said. However, another trader said buyers would wait for fresh supply and better

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter October. The drop was attributed to limited supply after harvest of the autumn-winter crop completed in the Mekong Delta, the main source of rice for export.| However, industry insiders still expect a good year in 2018 for Vietnam’s exports as the world rice market is forecast to pick up next year.

According to a November report of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), world rice trade will expand by 1 percent in 2018 to reach 42.3 million tonnes, marking the third highest yearly volume in history.

The USDA forecast that India and Thailand will continue to lead the world in rice export, while Vietnam’s rice exports could reach six million tonnes in 2018, an increase of 6.6 percent from this year, driven by demand in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines.

The National Food Authority of the Philippines recently proposed the country import 350,000 tonnes of rice before its first rice harvest in 2018 to raise its rice reserve.-VNA https://en.vietnamplus.vn/vietnams-rice-market-fares-well/123333.vnp

Rice prices go up again Iftakhar Mahamud | Update: 15:11, Dec 14, 2017 Just after the price of rice dropped for a month, it has soared again, increasing the woes of people in the low income bracket.

The price of rice at the outset of the year was Tk 40 a kg, in May it was Tk 50.

The price decreased to Tk 42 after the government took few measures, , but the price once again increased last week by Tk 2-3 a kg. The current price is Tk 45.

The price of low grade coarse rice in the markets of Kazipara, section-6 of Mirpur and Karwan Bazar in the capital, is Tk 45-50.

Market supply of coarse rice has fallen while supply of fine and medium grade rice is on the rise.

Most of the shops were selling rice at a price between Tk 50-65.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Price on the rise despite stock

The total amount of rice currently in government, non-government and farmer-level stocks is around 4.5-5 million tonnes. According to the food ministry, the amount of rice stocked in the government warehouses is about 460,000 tonnes and the traders have imported 1.4 million tonnes.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, overall rice reserves in the country in November were about 7 million tonnes. The people consume about 2.2 million tonnes of rice per month.

The food ministry also said that the government has fixed the target of Aman production in this season at 15 million tonnes. Of the amount, farmers have harvested 30 per cent or about 4.5 million tonnes.

But, the government has signed agreements with 5,000 millers to procure only 300,000 tonnes of rice so far.

Based on the information on previous reserves, Aman produce and imported rice, economists said there should not be any shortage of rice reserves in the country.

Food minister Quamrul Islam said to Prothom Alo, “You are free to write whatever you want about the rice price. I’m not going to say anything. I’ve nothing to say.”

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Meanwhile, traders blamed the hike of paddy price for the increased price of rice. They said paddy prices soared after the government had fixed procurement price of paddy at Tk 39 a kg.

Paddy price has increased by Tk 100-200 per maund in the wholesale markets of Naogaon, Dinajpur, Kushtia and Thakurgaon in the last few days.

Rice Millers Association general secretary AKM Layek Ali said paddy price hike is damaging for the businessmen as they will be able to make marginal amount of profit.

He warned rice prices might go up more in the coming days. The chance of decrease of rice price before the next Boro season is slim, he added.

Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) chairman economist Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad said traders will increase rice price on any excuse and will not decrease it easily.

He further said whenever the media talks about rice price various government organisations take steps to show their activities, which renders the market further unstable.

The government should monitor the market regularly and continue the open market sale (OMS) till the price comes down to Tk 40 a kg, he observed. Otherwise, the poor will face dire situation, he warned.

Shrinking social safety net The government increases sale of rice for poor people under social safety net programme whenever its price crosses Tk 40 a kg. The OMS was resumed in September. People could get rice at Tk 30. But that programme saw a hitch. Most of the dealers were sent ‘atap’ rice, which does not go with the food habit of the people.The consumers and dealers demanded ‘shiddha’ rice but the food directorate, without paying heed to the demands, decided to close down OMS from 15 December.

Kazi Nurul Islam, supply, distribution and marketing director at directorate general of food, said they supplied a tonne of ‘atap’ rice to 2,105 dealers each but 30 per cent of that rice remained unsold.The OMS however will resume in March, he added.

Senior researcher of the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) Nazneen Ahmed said, “People are not buying atap rice as it doesn’t go with their food habit. The government should increase the supply of rice in the OMS and other social safety net programmes to ensure their security.” *This piece, originally published in the Prothom Alo print edition, has been rewritten in English by Shameem Reza http://en.prothom-alo.com/bangladesh/news/167887/Rice-prices-go-up-again

Resisting the “Green Revolution� in Visayas 14 DECEMBER 2017 PHILIPPINES

The Visayan Islands are a large yet little-known group of islands in the center of the Philippines, home to around 20 million people speaking 30 indigenous languages, and 2000 native varieties of rice.

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Georie Pitong is the coordinator of Magsasaka at Siyentipiko para sa Pag-unlad ng Agrikultura (Farmer-Scientist Partnership for Development), or MASIPAG, on the Visayan Islands, a Terra Madre food community—the acronym also means “hardworking” in Filipino. The organization, as she tells us, was founded to promote the sustainable use of natural resources and the protection of biodiversity from below, primarily through farmers’ control of seeds, the means of agricultural production and all the knowledge necessary for its proliferation.

Land grabbing and genetically-engineered rice “Less than a third of the farmers here in Visayas own their land. Most of them work on land that is owned by others, creating problems of tenure and social friction,” Georie explains. “The big land-owning families have sugar plantations on massive esates, haciendas. These relics of the colonial era are still with us today, and can be as big as 5000 hectares in size, while the average small-scale farmer cultivates just a single hectare, and mostly on marginal, hilly lands where the soil is not as fertile. The best land, of course, belongs to the big landowners.

“There is also an increasing trend of land grabbing by these bigger landowners, who want to expand their plantations of GM corn, sugar, bananas, pineapples and palm oil trees, as these products can be exported with high profit margins. They have the full backing of the State in this endeavor, because on paper it boosts the economy, while in reality it robs normal people of their food and livelihood. Instead our land is used to export sugar to Europe, China and America.�

Georie works with small-scale, resource-poor farmers to take back control of their seeds, particularly rice. Rice is the staple crop in the Philippines, as with much of Asia, and over the course of centuries thousands of varieties have been developed by farmers working to adapt to their local conditions. However, this all changed with the onset of the Green Revolution, which was kick-started by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), founded by the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Government of the Philippines in 1960. They developed a small number of high-yield, genetically-engineered strains, like IR8 and the socalled Golden Rice, which soon supplanted the countless native varieties in rice fields around

Daily Global, Regional and Local Rice E-Newsletter Asia. We’ll never know exactly how many varieties were lost, but MASIPAG has managed to collect the seeds for some 2000 traditional Filipino varieties, and are now developing new varieties through the traditional technique of selective breeding. In the meantime, MASIPAG is continuing to protest the State’s efforts to promulgate Golden Rice.

“It’s important that we continue breeding new varieties of more resistant rice because as we have observed, pests are proliferating as evolve and adapt to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in the emergence of new diseases and the resurgence of old ones. Farmers need to be able to protect their harvest. For farmers close to the coast that might mean rice which is more resistant to saltwater, and as drought becomes a more serious problem, we need rice which can thrive with less water in general.”

In 2015 and 2016 the Philippines experienced its longest drought since 1997, with a full nine months without any rain. In other years, like 2013, unpredictable and violent typhoons posed a bigger threat to the harvest. “Being able to survive both drought and flooding poses a huge challenge for the farmers who still need to produce food for their families and communities.”

The project will come up at a cost of Rs 800 crore.Three such silos, which will be temperature-controlled to preserve the rice for long periods, will be located in south Bengal, with Bardhaman being one of the places, and two in north Bengal.The plan is to conserve 10,000 mt of rice in each silo. Bardhaman has been selected as the location of one such silo; search is on for the other locations.

These plans were announced by the State Food and Supplies Minister at an interactive session on the achievements of the Khadya Sathi Scheme organised by Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BNCCI). Khadya Sathi is a crowning achievement of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The minister also said that Bengal produces 10 lakh metric tonnes of paddy in excess annually.

Presently, 200 trucks of rice are exported daily to Bangladesh through the Petrapole border outpost.He further announced that under the instruction of the Chief Minister, the department will send food stock for three months to Darjeeling.

An official at the summit said the department is setting up warehouses with a total capacity of 5 lakh mt by the end of 2018 for storing foodgrains.Recently, Rice Tech Expo was held in Bardhaman town where modern technology for preservation of the grain was displayed by representatives from Brazil, Sweden and Norway. The districts of Purba and Paschim Bardhaman comprise the rice bowl of Bengal.
