noted that the REAP was the second largest export organisation and it truly represented the
country having members and officials across the country.
He noted that the REAP had done a lot for increasing rice export which included research and
development activities, introducing latest technology for higher per acre yield of rice crop, and
the value-addition along with welfare of the rice growers.Still more is needed to be done. We
would have to put rice export on 21st century lines and move with the world. Like many other
countries, Pakistan would have to focus on phyto-sanitary and plant protection standards, he
emphasized.He said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government had been trying its best to
achieve the goal of economic prosperity and development in the country within the shortest
possible time through maximum consultation and partnership with private sector.
Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and Trade Development
Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) are our partners, he remarked.He mentioned that the prime
minister recently had a long session with the business community and heard the representatives
of each sector separately with assurance of resolution of their genuine problems at the earliest. In
next couple of days, he added that the prime minister would have another interactive session with
the business leaders and might announce a package for the export sector.
Responding to the demand from the out-going and incoming Chairmen of REAP and Patron-inChief of REAP and Senior Vice-President FPCCI Abdul Rahim Janoo, the federal commerce
minister said that the representatives of REAP would be taken on the boards of directors of Rice
Research Institutes in Dokri and Kala Shah Kaku after taking the provincial governments into
confidence. This year, reforms will be introduced in these two research institutes, he assured.

Ghanaians urged to patronise local rice

By: Musah Yahaya Jafaru & Frederik Sundby-Lebech, ACCRADate :Friday, 02 October 2015 05:35
Published in Business News
THE Minister of Food and Agriculture, Mr Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has urged Ghanaians to change their
mindset and patronise locally produced rice.He said the rice produced locally was more nutritious, healthy
and tastier than the imported one.Therefore, he said, it was crucial for Ghanaians to reduce the
consumption of imported rice and go for the local rice to save the country the more than $400 million it
spent annually on the importation of rice.Mr Kwetey made the call yesterday when he launched the

Second Ghana National Rice Festival, which will be held from November 13 to 15, 2015, at the Efua
Sutherland Childrens Park in Accra.
The festival, which will be organised by the Ghana Rice InterProfessional Body (GRIB), is aimed at making the Ghana rice
industry competitive.Stakeholders in the rice industry, including
farmers, millers and marketers, are expected to showcase
different varieties and brands of Ghana rice at the festival, in the
hope of whipping up the interest of the public in local rice.In
August 2004, the government, with support from Agence
Francaise de Development (AFD), set up the GRIB to galvanise
private-sector actors in the value chain to work together with the
government to develop a vibrant rice sector. It held the first rice
festival in 2013.Mr Kwetey said rice had become an important staple in the economy of Ghana due to
increasing per capita consumption over the past years.It is the second largest cereal consumed after
maize in Ghana and has become a common feature in Ghanaian diets, he said.
The minister also said improved packaging, the absence of stones and chaff and cultivation of varieties
similar to the imported rice had increased preference for rice grown locally, and thus created opportunities
for citizens to invest in the sector to create wealth and jobs.Mr Akwetey added that the Export Trade,
Agricultural and Industrial Development Fund (EDAIF) which the government had set up together with
the West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme and other organisations was part of initiatives that
the government had set up to help address financing challenges in the rice sector.
Investing in rice
The President of GRIB, Mr Imoro Amoro, said rice was an important commodity, therefore, investing in
it was investing in jobs, especially for the poor farmers in rural areas.He called for collaborative efforts
among the government, the private sector and consumers in the production and marketing of local
rice.The Chief Executive Officer of the John A. Kufuor Foundation, Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah,
lauded the government leading the efforts to promote the local rice and affirmed the commitment of the
foundation to supporting GRIB and other organisations to promote Ghana rice.
The Head of Rice Research and Development of the Savanna Agriculture Research Institute (SARI) of
the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Dr Wilson Dogbe, who chaired the function,
said Ghana had the human resource and variety of seeds needed to produce enough rice to feed the
population.

The Fading Glory Of Ekpoma Rice Production

Patrick Ochoga
Oct 2, 2015 3:48 am
The University town of Ekpoma, in Esan Central local government area of Edo State, is not only
popular with the citing of the only state owed tertiary institution, Ambrose Alli University, AAU,
the name of the community also rings a bell with the production of what is popularly referred
today as Ekpoma Rice.The appeal for the rice which constitutes one of the staple meals for the
people within the entire Edo central senatorial district, adjoining communities and neighbouring
states, is sadly, fast losing its popularity and appeal, owing to what researchers attributed to
governments lack of interest in developing the agricultural production of rice for commercial
export which will have certainly boosted the local economy of the locality.
However, pundits have argued in several fora that the choice for theimportation and consumption
of imported rice by government and other private stake holders is to ensure that we meets our
bludgeoning population may be germane but to the detriment of local rice farmers and
production especially Ekpoma rice or what other may refer to as ofada rice.In spite of the fertile
and abundant arable land, rice importation has dealt the killer blow to the farmers in Ekpoma,
and exposes the people to the uncertainties generated from rice importation and
consumption.Presently, there are speculations that the rice imported into the country contains
strains and grains suitable only for animal domestication and husbandry. Those who know about
this, like Friends of the Earth International, FoEI, a worldwide Non-Governmental Organization,
has led a consistent crusade against Monsanto and other big corporations involved in genetically
modifying the genes of crops for a bumper harvest.
In laboratory tests, FoEI claims it has carried out on imported rice in Nigeria and Sierra Leone,
FoEI alleges that some of the rice imported to both countries contains SI strains, fit only for
animal husbandry.From findings, Ekpoma rice is relatively easy to produce and is grown for sale
and home consumption. In some areas there is a long tradition of rice growing, but for many, rice
has been considered a luxury food for special occasions only. With the increased availability of
rice, it has become part of the everyday diet of many in Nigeria.The criticism of Ekpoma rice
falls on the small stones that mix with it often times. After the rice has been par boiled, it is laid
out on tarpaulins or tarred roads to dry.
It is at this stage that there is a danger of small stones getting mixed up with the rice grains.
kpoma rice faces competition from imported rice which favored for its long white grains.
Imported rice, although widely considered less tasty, demands less preparation as it contains no
stones. Removing stones require building designated threshing and drying floors among others
will allow Ekpoma rice to compete with Ofada rice and imported rice from asia.But despite the
long years of lack of agriculture policy that will encourage local production of rice, Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State had boasted that the state could provide Nigeria with all the rice
supplies it needs if only the federal government could remove waiver on the commodity.
Daily Global

The governor disclosed this in a recent interview against the federal governments decision to
promote local production of food crops in states with comparative advantage on them.He stated
Edo could do a lot if the Federal Government has coherent agricultural policies that do not
provide the window for waivers, and expired rice and cheap rice to be dumped on Nigeria, he
stated.The he decried the waiver granted rice importers by the previous administration, regretting
that such has led to dumping of various goods in the country which has driven local producers of
food items, including rice, out of business.According to him, big rice millers in Edo State were
already waiting to see if a new policy that favours local production will be implemented before
they would return to the farms.
Oshiomhole, while noting that Edo has huge potential for massive rice production said such
might not happen until the right policies are made, stressing that Leventis Group had promised
that with the new administration in the country, and controversies over removal of duty waiver, it
was willing to resume production adding that Dangote Group had acquired about 50,000 hectares
of land for rice farming in the state and was enthusiastic to go into massive rice farming with the
right policies in place.The Oshiomhole further assured that his administration had waived land
charges as incentives for big investors in agriculture and urged those interested in investing in
the state to embrace the gesture.In concerted bid to boast agricultural and rural development
programme of rice that would guarantee food security and employment in Nigeria and Edo State
in particular had kick started in Etsako Central Local Government Area of the state.
The programme, aided by an international consortium, Transformation Agritech Nigeria Limited
is currently embarking on commercial rice production as its core crop through mechanized
farming covering over 10,000 (Ten thousand) hectres.Group Operations and Project
Development Director of the company, Dr. Sample Ibemerum explained that the favourable
climatic condition of the Niger Delta region for rice made it imperative to engage in the
programme which he said would also go a long way to generate employment, eradicate poverty,
evolve capacity building, training and exchange.Dr. Ibemerum recalled that Vietnam was
reduced to the fourth poorest nation in the world after the American war in 1975 but thereafter
transformed itself to a major emerging nation through rice cultivation having being endowed
with fresh water and swampy soil suitable for the crop adding that Nigeria could also do same to
wipe out poverty and emerge a great nation.However, a scientist and a lecturer in the Faculty of
Agriculture, Ambrose Alli University, (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo State, Dr Agharese Osifo, lamented
the relegation of local rice production to the background by successive government both at
federal and local level.
He said Ekpoma rice is the best brand of rice in Nigeria because of it special unique quality
which he noted made it acceptable and better than any other brand of rice in Nigeria adding that
it carbohydrate based is better than the Abakaliki or even the Thailand rice because it is
extremely nutritious with some traces of vitamins, mineral and even proteins unlike other brand
of rice.Speaking on effort by government to tap into harnessing the economic potential that
abound in the production, the academic don stated I can tell you categorially that government is
not doing anything, that is Edo state government and by extension the federal government in
respect to supporting, improving or developing Ekpoma rice, this not indicting them or just a
political statement, it is purely an academic or scientific statement.

The reason why I stated that categorically is because of the agricultural policy for Edo state
government and before this government too is the concept of privatization and as you well know
the former minister of Agriculture Adesina clearly stated that as a matter of policy agriculture
should be seen as a business and not a way of way life saying that government should not
subsidize or help any agricultural product of farmer in any way because we operates a capitalist
systemIn fact, Edo state through the commissioner of Agriculture, Hon Abdul Oroh several
time have stated in the media that government will not engage in agricultural production and that
include the Ekpoma rice we are talking about. And as you are aware some agricultural
enterprises have been sold to foreign investors and that is the sorry story of the Ekpoma
rice.More importantly, also is the Egoro farmer settlement in Ekpoma, but sadly, the farm
settlement is rusting away and it an opportunity for the government to develop this Ekpoma rice.
Incidentally, Egoro farm settlement is where the faculty of Agriculture is where am a senior
lecturer. The local farmers are still trying their best by planting the upland variety of rice.He
however adduced that quality of the rice had been the limiting factor hindering the export of
local rice and noted that most people will not like to eat Ekpoma rice not because they are not
patriotic but because of the quality and standard.People like imported rice because it is clean
and free of pebbles and stones. Nigeria is the biggest rice importer in the whole world and it
consumes more rice than any country. The issue of growing Ekpoma rice for export does not
arise because the total production of rice in Nigeria is 1.5 metric tonnes against the effective
demand 5 million metric tonnes which is strain by importation and of course, we cannot export
rice for this reason. However, they are agencies who give concession to those who want to grow
it for commercial purposes, he opined.

No Conclusion Yet in TPP Negotiations

ATLANTA, GA -- What many hoped would be the final round
of negotiations for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being
held up by several unresolved issues including market access for
U.S. rice.

USA Rice Chairman Dow Brantley, who along with Michael

Rue, chairman of the USA Rice Asia Trade Policy Subcommittee, attended the trade talks, said,
"We have made it clear to U.S. negotiators that an agreement without meaningful improvement
in the quantity and quality of market access for U.S. rice in Japan and preservation of existing
market access overall is an agreement that we cannot support."

Yesterday, seventeen Members of the House Agriculture Committee sent a letter to Ambassador
Michael Froman, U.S. Trade Representative, echoing these concerns. Three rice state legislators,

Rick Crawford (R-AR), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), and Ralph Abraham (R-LA), signed the letter
saying, "We...remain deeply concerned over the lack of meaningful market access in key markets
for America's rice farmers..."
The talks have been extended into tomorrow as TPP countries press for a final agreement.

Nigeria inflation may soar as floods destroy produce worth

of N49 billion
Nigeria inflation may worsen as floods destroyed farm produce such as rice, groundnut, millet,
guinea corn and maize worth up to N49 billion.All these crops do not require much water and the
flood has submerged most of the farms where such crops are planted in the country.Rice one of
the most consumed staple food in the country is mostly affected.According to Bloomberg,
Above-normal rainfall in the countrys northwest region caused the banks of the Sokoto and
Rima rivers to overflow in the Sokoto and Zamfara states, flooding rice plantations and
destroying about 626,250 metric tons of the staple and same in Kebbi and Jigawa states, a
combined 635,000 hectares of low-land, rain-fed plantations have been affected.
Rice is a critical component of the Nigerian diet and a major consumer of the countrys foreign
exchange.Nigeria spent about N365 billion annually on importation of rice which is bleeding the
country foreign reserves, according to former minister of finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.In the
period 2012 to 2014 paddy rice production in the country grew from 4.5 million MT in 2012 to
7.89 million (metric tons) MT in 2013, and 10.7 million MT in 2014.The capacity for integrated
rice milling for the production of import-grade rice has also risen from 70,000MT in 2011 to
over 800,000MT in 2014.
The number of integrated rice mills increased from only one in 2011 to over 24 by 2014.Given
the Central Banks restriction of 41 items from accessing forex from the interbank market which
includes rice, it means that millers in the country may not be able satisfy demand and get paddy
rice to feed their mills from local suppliers.This may eventually lead to increase in the price of
paddy rice and the millers having no option would pass the price increase on to consumers and
thus, fuelling food inflation.

sales tax (CST) and recovery by the excise and taxation department; relaxation in moisture
norms during purchase of paddy.After a meeting with the additional chief secretary, food and
civil supplies, SS Prasad on Monday, the association had refused to accept the official assurance

USA Rice-Ducks Unlimited RCPP Project Implementation

Rolls Forward
RCPP enrollment -- it's time
WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the USA Rice-Ducks Unlimited Regional Conservation Partnership
Program (RCPP) project, "Sustaining the Future of Rice" takes another step forward in the
implementation process.Earlier this year, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
awarded the project $10 million in funding for the six major rice producing states. Under the project rice
farmers will have two years to enroll in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and
Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). NRCS offices in Missouri are now accepting EQIP
applications from rice farmers and Louisiana NRCS will follow suit this coming Monday. Application in
Missouri and Louisiana will be accepted through November 20, 2015.Blake Gerard, Missouri rice farmer
and chairman of the USA Rice Farmers, said, "I'm really excited at the pace this project is moving,
everything seems to be happening right on target with the overall schedule established.
" Gerard added that "installing conservation practices on our crop ground is just the right thing to do and
so I urge fellow growers to take a look at their conservation plans over the next few weeks and try to find
some additional practices they can add under this RCPP project."Rice farmers in Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Missouri are encouraged to submit EQIP applications as part of the "Sustaining the
Future of Rice" RCPP project at their local NRCS offices. Sign-up for CSP is projected to begin in each
of the six rice states late in 2016.

Registration of rice brands: draft of 'geographical indication

law' to be tabled in NA soon: Dastgir
October 02, 2015
Federal Minister for Commerce Engr Khurram Dastgir said here that the draft of proposed `geographical
indication law' has almost been finalised and it will soon be presented in the National Assembly for
approval. The proposed law is aimed at supporting rice exporters in getting Pakistani rice brands
registered in the international markets, he added. He was speaking at the annual dinner of Rice Exporters
Association of Pakistan (REAP) on Wednesday. REAP's chairman Rafique Suleman, Trade Development

Authority of Pakistan's CEO S.M. Muneer, Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce (FPCCI)
president Mian Adress, senior vice president Rahim Jano were present on the occasion.
The minister said that Pakistani rice exporters in the absence of `geographical indication law' are facing
difficulties in getting their Basmati brands registered in leading importing countries, while their
competitors are capturing the market by registering their Basmati rice brands. He hoped that the exports
of the commodity will get a boost with the adoption of the proposed law. Moreover, the federal
government with a view to providing long-term trade policies to exporters was also working on 3-year
trade strategic framework (2015-2018) and the same is expected to be announced shortly, he added. The
minister disclosed that the government was actively considering trade policy and a special package for
exporters and trade and industry and the same would be announced shortly by prime minister. Reiterating
that the government was fully committed to facilitate trade and industry, the minister referred to the prime
minister's recent meeting with all stakeholders for the solution of their issues.
He said that the country's economy despite challenges was moving in the right direction and in this he
referred to the agreements made with China for investing $46 billion in Pakistan in the next few years.
Highlighting the importance of research and development work, the minister said that the federal
government has decided to reconstitute the boards of Dokri and Kala Shah Kako research institutes and
now rice and other stakeholders will be given due representation on the boards. Urging the rice exporters
for value addition and meeting international quality standards for higher exports, the minister said
Pakistan was losing markets due to lack of appropriate marketing and hence the need of the hour is to
focus on China, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom and other emerging markets.
He asked the rice exporters to send their high-level trade delegations for marketing and exploring these
markets. About the efforts being made by ministry of commerce for enhancing the country's exports, the
minister said that the issue of rice export will be discussed with Chinese Minister of Commerce on
October 16. Moreover, banking channels between Pakistan and Iran are also likely to be reopened shortly
as the United States has already lifted sanctions against Iran, he added.
Earlier, REAP chairman Rafique Suleman informed the minister that traders of rice were facing multiple
issues including that of low commodity price in the world market and higher cost of doing business. He
said that Pakistan was unable to introduce new varieties of rice due to lack of research and development
activities in the rice sector.

is allowed subject to registration of contracts with the Agricultural and Processed Food Products
Export Development Authority (APEDA).
" There is no change in the policy and exports of Basmati rice are continuing unabated. During the
period from April 2015 to August 2015, exports of Basmati rice have grown by 16.93% in quantity
terms as compared to the corresponding period during the previous year" adds the press release. In
view of softening of commodity prices, the realization of Basmati rice has gone down as has
happened with many other commodities. "However, all steps are being taken to explore more
markets and promote retail packs to improve the realization for Basmati rice. It is expected that a
good flow of export orders is likely and the government also expects the present trend of growth in
export of Basmati rice to continue" the ministry has clarified.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-State Logistics Agency director Djarot Kusumayakti said on Friday,

October 2, that the rice stocks at Bulog had reached 1.7 tons, which would meet demands on rice
for the next six months.According to Djarot, the claim was based on an ideal calculation
considering the length of stocks and the quality of rice. Djarot added that the calculation was
based on the interval of harvesting seasons.The ideal length for rice stock is six months,
because we can manage to hold the stock, he said.Djarot also ensured that the quality of the rice
stocked in six months.
We dont want to stock rice in a huge amount with poor quality. Bulog is responsible to
maintain [the quality of rice], Djarot added.President Joko Widodo called on public not to
spread a rumor saying that Bulog had no sufficient rice.Our rice stocks are safe. So, dont
spread any rumors saying that we dont have it, Jokowi said when inspecting Bulog warehouse

percent."(This market operation) is aimed at preventing a price hike and to ensure that the prices
remain at a normal and affordable level," Jokowi stated.The operation is expected to help reduce
the price of rice by Rp300-500 per kilogram.He noted that the rice stock of Bulog reached 1.7

Export deceleration glooms Vietnamese rice market

Export slump has slowed consumption and slashed local rice prices, making farmers and traders incur losses in the
Mekong Delta.

The delta has entered the end of

the summer autumn rice crop.
Some provinces such as Dong
Thap, Vinh Long and Can Tho
city have started harvesting
autumn winter rice amid price
reduction.Mr. Vo Truong Chinh
from Tam Nong commune, Dong
Thap said that long-lasting rain
had flattened many rice fields
reducing
productivity
and
increasing

costs.Meantime, prices have kept
falling down damaging farmers.

VND4,500 to long grain and VND4,600 to fragrant varieties.The agricultural industry has
advised farmers to produce high quality varieties for exports.
However fragrant rice price is paid only VND100 higher than long grain one a kilogram.It costs
more effort and time to tend the former type, whose productivity is lower and less consumable
than normal rice, he said.Traders have also incurred losses because of slow consumption.Most
traders have undergone losses of VND6-7 million a 40 ton rice boat for the last one month
because of low quality and price, said Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong from Lap Vo district, Dong
Thap.Trader Tran Van Long from Cho Moi district, An Giang, said that about 60-80 percent of
traders had suffered losses and many had stopped purchasing.
Unstable rice industry

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, businesses have exported 4.47
million tons of rice worth US$1.92 billion in the first nine months this year, down 10 percent in
value and 15.7 percent in volume over the same period last year.

China has tightened small volume imports through the border and intensified purchase from
Myanmar, Pakistan and India with lower prices. Thailand has also stepped up supply to this
market.China holds 35 percent of Vietnamese export market share. However the export turnover
to this market has kept falling for recent years, said experts.The country imported nearly 65
percent of its rice demand from Vietnam in 2012-2013, which reduced to 53 percent in 2014 and
47 percent this year.Two other major markets of Vietnam including Indonesia and the
Philippines have planned to reduce import and expand domestic production.Dr. Vo Hung Dung,
director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Can Tho city, said that China and Africa

have reduced imports. Vietnam will face severe competition from India, Thailand, Myanmar and
Pakistan in both short and long terms.

The country so should have a new suitable direction for the rice industry to brake the decline
trend, he said.Chairman of the Vietnam Food Association Huynh The Nang said that of the top
five rice exporters in the world in the first eight months this year, only Vietnam saw a value
reduction of 13 percent, while the US increased 34 percent, Pakistan 20 percent, India 18 percent
and Thailand 2.2 percent.Mr. Nang said there too many limitations in the rice industry which
have been repaired very slowly. For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development has encouraged developing large scale paddy fields to lower cost price and
improve competitiveness, however total area has been less than 200,000 hectare, a tiny ratio
compared to the country's rice farming area.Businesses have been passive in accessing markets
and Vietnamese rice has so far yet to have a brand name or choose a segment in strong position,
he added.

Rice exports to bounce back

Fri, 2 October 2015
Cheng Sokhorng
Rice exports fell sharply last month, but the Kingdoms most important crop is expected to
recover and end the year in positive territory.The Secretariat of the One Window Service for
Rice Exports Formality reported on Wednesday that Cambodias rice exports fell 31.7 percent in
September compared to one year earlier.Secretariat chief Hean Vanhorn attributed the slump to a
barrage of factors that battered Cambodias price point.He said yesterday that Thai exporters
recently decreased their price of fragrant rice by 20 per cent to about $800 per tonne, while
Myanmar was selling 5 per cent broken white rice at $420 per tonne, below Cambodian
prices.Exports also declined on account of the euros depreciation against the dollar, he added.

The European Union was the largest export destination for Cambodian rice, accounting for 64
per cent of shipments for the first nine months of 2015.Song Saran, chairman of Amru Rice,
linked last months dip in exports to a supply shortage as a result of below-average rainfall
earlier in the year that led to an increase in prices, making Cambodias prized jasmine rice less
competitive in international markets.Cambodian rice prices increased last month as stocks were

depleted, he said. Exports dropped because buyers were able to purchase rice at a low price in
other countries, such as Myanmar.
Saran said prices of Cambodian premium milled fragrant rice had climbed to $880 per tonne, up
from $750 per tonne at the beginning of the year.But he expects rice exports to pick up this
month provided the rains continue and expects the sector to recover by the end of the
year.Rice exports will increase in the last three months of the year because we started the
harvesting season, he said.But if the rains dont continue through October, it will hurt next
years yield.However, Septembers dip should have minimal impact on the Kingdoms annual
export tally, according to the UNs Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Direct milled rice
exports between January and August were about 340,000 tonnes, nearly 50 per cent up compared
to the same period a year earlier, it noted.
Reflecting the high pace of shipments so far this year and the governments strategy to boost
official exports through targeting new markets, FAO forecasts total [milled rice and paddy]
exports in 2015 at 1.2 million tonnes, 6 per cent above last years level, the agency said in a
press release.Moul Sarith, acting secretary-general of Cambodia Rice Federation, said the
Agriculture Ministry projects that 9 million tonnes of paddy rice will be harvested this year. He
said orders should start to pick up again this month.Its nearing harvest time, he said. Its a
good time for exporting rice as the freshly milled rice has a pleasant smell and high quality.

Thai farmers to be told to skip dry-season rice crop

Farmers to be told to skip dry-season rice crop

Pratch Rujivanarom
The Nation
Water shortage looms as current levels well below the average
BANGKOK: SEVERE WATER shortages seem inevitable as the level in both the Chao Phraya and
Mae Klong river basins were well below average and farmers were instructed not to plant the dry-season
rice crop to ensure availability of water for domestic consumption.

Daily Global

All About Rice News

Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry permanent secretary Theerapat Prayunrasiddhi said the ministry
had ordered the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) to inform farmers in the Chao Phraya River Basin
about the water situation in order to encourage them not to grow the dry-season rice crop.Theerapat said
the water available in the four major dams in the Chao Phraya River Basin Bhumibol, Sirikit, Kwai Noi
and Pasak Jolasid had only 3,006 million cubic metres as of yesterday, which was very low.
He said the RID, the Water Consumer Committee, irrigation volunteers and other authorities would meet
with farmers to inform them about the water shortage, so that they will avoid the dry-season rice crop
especially because of the high risk of failure of the crop due to water shortages. I would like to inform all
farmers and water users in the Chao Phraya River Basin that we do not have enough water for the dryseason crop, because the available water will be needed for domestic consumption. Irrigation Department
officers will try to create understanding among water consumers about the water-management plan during
the upcoming dry season, he said.
Despite the warning, it was reported that the dry-season rice crop had already been planted in 500,000 rai
(80,000 hectares) of the overall 10.7 million rai of paddy fields in the Chao Phraya River Basin.While a
water shortage was also reported in the Western region, Thanarath Pummakasikorn, the director of
Srinagarindra Dam, said that as of yesterday available water in the dam was only 2,294 million cubic
metres, while available water in the Vajiralongkorn Dam was only 2,274 million cubic metres.

According to the data, the water level is lesser now than in previous years. We face a critical water
shortage and we can no longer provide water to the agricultural sector, Thanarath said.
He asked water users in seven provinces of the Mae Klong River Basin to use water wisely and
encouraged farmers to cultivate crops that require less water.Speaking at a forum Road map to the future
of water management organised by NOW26 channel yesterday, Wiwat Salyakamthorn, Agri-Nature
Foundation president, advised that farmers in the irrigation area should adjust their production to suit the
changing climate because the 20 per cent farmers in the irrigation area are the ones who suffer the most
from drought.During a drought, we see that 80 per cent of farmers outside the irrigation area can adjust
well to the situation because they are familiar with water shortages and can change their production
pattern, unlike those in the irrigation areas who are used to easy access to water, Wiwat said. He
concluded that the farmers needed to help themselves during drought, as the government cannot provide
help to everyone. He urged them to learn mixed farming and have their own water reservoir on their land.

Ghanaians urged to patronise local rice

THE Minister of Food and Agriculture, Mr Fifi Fiavi
Kwetey, has urged Ghanaians to change their
mindset and patronise locally produced rice.He said
the rice produced locally was more nutritious,
healthy and tastier than the imported one.Therefore,
he said, it was crucial for Ghanaians to reduce the
consumption of imported rice and go for the local
rice to save the country the more than $400 million it
spent annually on the importation of rice.Mr Kwetey
made the call yesterday when he launched the
Second Ghana National Rice Festival, which will be held from November 13 to 15, 2015, at the Efua
Sutherland Childrens Park in Accra.
The festival, which will be organised by the Ghana Rice Inter-Professional Body (GRIB), is aimed at
making the Ghana rice industry competitive.Stakeholders in the rice industry, including farmers, millers
and marketers, are expected to showcase different varieties and brands of Ghana rice at the festival, in the
hope of whipping up the interest of the public in local rice.In August 2004, the government, with support
from Agence Francaise de Development (AFD), set up the GRIB to galvanise private-sector actors in the
value chain to work together with the government to develop a vibrant rice sector. It held the first rice
festival in 2013.Mr Kwetey said rice had become an important staple in the economy of Ghana due to
increasing per capita consumption over the past years.

It is the second largest cereal consumed after maize in Ghana and has become a common feature in
Ghanaian diets, he said.The minister also said improved packaging, the absence of stones and chaff and
cultivation of varieties similar to the imported rice had increased preference for rice grown locally, and
thus created opportunities for citizens to invest in the sector to create wealth and jobs.Mr Akwetey added
that the Export Trade, Agricultural and Industrial Development Fund (EDAIF) which the government had
set up together with the West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme and other organisations was
part of initiatives that the government had set up to help address financing challenges in the rice
sector.The President of GRIB, Mr Imoro Amoro, said rice was an important commodity, therefore,
investing in it was investing in jobs, especially for the poor farmers in rural areas.
He called for collaborative efforts among the government, the private sector and consumers in the
production and marketing of local rice.The Chief Executive Officer of the John A. Kufuor Foundation,
Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah, lauded the government leading the efforts to promote the local rice
and affirmed the commitment of the foundation to supporting GRIB and other organisations to promote
Ghana rice.The Head of Rice Research and Development of the Savanna Agriculture Research Institute
(SARI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Dr Wilson Dogbe, who chaired the
function, said Ghana had the human resource and variety of seeds needed to produce enough rice to feed
the population.

of Thursday, crops such as rice, soyabean, sugarcane and a variety of pulses have been sown
over 1,031.37 lakh hectares (lha), 1.3 per cent higher than during the corresponding period last
year.Under the scare of El-Nino, Southwest Monsoon started on a positive note with June
receiving more than sufficient rain and countrywide rainfall percentage standing with 16%
excess than normal rainfall at the end of June. Kharif sowing that begins with the onset of
Monsoon benefited from the substantial widespread heavy Monsoon rain during June.
Increased Acreage
The total area sown under kharif crops as on October 1, reached 1,031.37 lakh hectares
compared with 1,017.86 lakh hectare last year at this time. Amidst price rise, the acreage of
pulses went up to 114.58 lakh hectares, from 102.56 lakh hectares. As the demand for this staple
food item never fails to rise and the retail prices also went up to Rs 150 per kg before the
Monsoon, farmers decided to put up more area under this crop.
Monsoon 2015
Monsoon 2015 ended with a 14 per cent deficit where out of 36 sub-divisions, 17 reported
deficient rainfall between June 1 and September 30. Still many regions benefited from the good
rain in June and significant rainfall during the end of September. For instance, West Rajasthan
recorded 46% excess rains. Andhra Pradesh recorded 10% more rains where rain helped in
increasing paddy acreage.

Corn Comment
Corn prices ended the day slightly higher, up just a quarter cent on the week. Corn prices remain volatile as we
continue to get mixed reports from harvest and on the demand side. Prices could come under pressure next
week as multiple private sources raised their corn yields this week. This news combined with slow export sales
is likely to keep corn under $4 through harvest, baring some major surprise from the USDA.

Rice futures traded in a narrow range and ended a bit lower. Reports of disappointing yields across the south
coupled with smaller acreage has fueled the recent rally. Concerns about Asian production are also a factor, as
an El Nino weather pattern has caused drought in major production areas. Weekly export sales were solid at
70,500 metric tons, but weren't enough to push prices to a new high. November continues to find resistance at
$13.39.
