The total rice inventory for this month would be adequate for 51 days. Stocks in the households
would be good for 18 days, those in commercial warehouses for 15 days, and those in NFA
[National Food Authority] depositories for 18 days, the report read.
Of the rice inventory as of September 1, the PSA said 35.37 percent were with households and
29.42 percent were in commercial warehouses, while 35.21percent were stored in NFA
warehouses. Almost 80 percent of NFA stocks consisted of imported rice. PSA data showed that
NFA stocks during the period reached 625,210 metric tons (MT), while commercial warehouses
accounted for 522,450 MT. Rice in households reached 628,110 MT.
Year-on-year, rice stocks in the households increased by 9.94 percent. However, stocks in commercial
warehouses and in NFA depositories decreased by 10.17 percent and 22.10 percent, respectively, the
report read.
On a monthly basis, rice stocks in all sectors were lower, compared with those in August. The
PSA said stocks in the households dropped by 9.44 percent, in commercial warehouses by 15.95
percent and in NFA depositories by 20.66 percent. The lean season for rice started in July and
ended last month. Local farmers usually do not harvest rice in the third quarter. The PSA data
also showed that the countrys corn inventory as of September 1 grew by 15.67 percent to
380,570 MT, from 329,000 MT recorded a year ago. The September corn inventory is also 13.1
percent higher than last months inventory of 336,480 MT.
Compared with last year, corn stocks in the households and in commercial warehouses
increased by 3.61 percent and 25.19 percent, respectively. On the other hand, stocks in NFA
depositories decreased by 96.80 percent, the report read.
The PSA said 62.04 percent of total corn inventory in August were in commercial warehouses,
while 37.95 percent were held by households.
Corn in commercial warehouses reached 236,100 MT, stocks in households accounted for
144,440 MT of the total inventory, while corn stored in NFA warehouses amounted to only 30
MT.
China OKs MoU for 200,000 Tons of Rice

China formally agreed to purchase 200,000 tons of rice annually from Cambodia to help the countrys rice
farmers and millers grappling with falling prices and struggling to compete with the influx of cheaper rice from
neighboring countries, said an official in the Ministry of Commerce yesterday.Soeng Sophary, spokesperson of
the Ministry of Commerce said representatives from her ministry and China National Cereals, Oils and
Foodstuffs Corporation agreed on the draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) for China to start
purchasing the 200,000 tons of rice.
Ms. Sophary told Khmer Times, the MoU came into effect on Tuesday, two days before Chinas President Xi
Jinpings official visit to the Kingdom.This agreement was made to pave the way for Cambodia to export
200,000 tons of rice yearly to the Chinese market, she said.Chinese Premer Li Keqiang, in his meeting with
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Laos early last month, pledged to double Chinas annual purchase of
100,000 tons of Cambodian rice to 200,000 tons, starting from next year. China also pledged a loan of $300
million to Cambodias rice millers for building warehouses with drying facilities.The more rice we sell, the
more income we will get. This will greatly help revitalize our rice sector, said Ms. Sophary.
The Ministry of Commerce, in the interest of the countrys economy, is constantly finding markets to export
to, she added.Hun Lak, vice president of the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF), clarified that that the
agreement to sell 200,000 tons of rice to China was negotiated before the fall in market price of the
grain.Soon after the negotiations, the market price of rice fell before the Pchum Ben holidays, said Mr.
Lak.The rice exported to China is fragrant Sen Kro Oup rice and it is priced between $560 and $600 a ton,
he said. Though the price is high, Chinese consumers are keen to have this rice as they say it tastes good.
Mr. Lak said CRF was working with the Ministry of Commerce to seek more markets for Cambodian rice.We
are negotiating with Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Recently, we have had orders from Malaysia, he said

Punjab to witness 35 per cent less basmati rice production
this year
Farmers have demanded that government must fix a MSP for basmati on the lines of
paddy crops as it will save significant underground water and bring more foreign exchange
to the country.
Written by Anju Agnihotri Chaba | Jalandhar | Updated: October 13, 2016 3:29 am
Last year, as per the Punjab Mandi Board (PMB) 30.78 lakh tonnes of Basmati was procured in
the state, which was sown at 7.63 lakh hectares area of land.
Owing to a poor rate fixed for the basmati crop last two years, the farmers this year has decided
to curtail the area to a significant level. The decision means that there will be around 35 per cent
less production of the basmati crop in Punjab.
Farmers have demanded that government must fix a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for basmati
on the lines of paddy crops as it will save significant underground water and bring more foreign
exchange to the country.
Though there is a possibility that less production may hit the export this yea, however exporters
said that last years stocks are available which will be carried forward. There should be some

fixed system and for every Rs 100 crores purchase of basmati Rs 10 crore must be kept for the
welfare of farmers to provide them farm implements free of cost through a lottery system as it
will encourage them to grow more basmati, said Vijay Setia, former president and current
governing body member of All India Export Association Area

CPRMA to go for indefinite shutdown of rice mills

Source: The Hitavada
Date: 13 Oct 2016 11:18:07
Business Reporter,
RAIPUR,Oct 12,
Rice millers have been demanding revision in the existing Kharif Marketing-2016-17 policy for sacks,
custom milling rate,transportation charges and out-turn ratio (Jhadti per cent) ahead of the
commencement of milling process
FEARING unavoidable losses in custom milling for 2016-17 under the existing conditions, the
Chhattisgarh Pradesh Rice Millers Association (CPRMA) would go for an indefinite shutdown of rice
mills if their pending issues are not settled within November 10. Since, the lifting of paddy from
procurement centres across the State and custom milling will commence from November 15, rice millers
have been demanding revision in the existing Kharif Marketing-2016-17 policy for sacks, custom milling
rate, transportation charges and out-turn ratio (Jhadti per cent) ahead of the commencement of milling
process.
The unanimous decision of an ultimatum of November 10 to resolve the issues related to custom milling
for 2016-17 was taken in the meeting held in Raipur on Wednesday. CPRMA President Yogesh Agrawal
chaired the meeting. Yogesh Agrawal said that the CPRMA members have strongly voiced their concern
12

over the anti-rice millers policy of the government for Custom Milling-2016-17 which will incur losses
to the millers. Apart from the milling related issues, the increase in power tariff and wages of labourers
will also add to the burden on the mill owners. Thus, with no change in suitable milling policy, it would
become impossible to avoid losses which are looming large over the millers for the current fiscal, he
added.
According to the CPRMA President, delegations of rice millers met the administration officials at
different levels and apprised them of the problems and demanded early settlement of the issues for last
eight months.
But besides assurances at the official level, the issues are still not taken-up on priority resulting in
reaching a serious stage. Despite millers co-operating with the state administration, the announcement of
a new policy that goes against the millers have forced the CPRMA members to go for an indefinite shutdown, said Agrawal.
During the meeting, the millers said that the rate of milling of normal rice (Arwa) was not reduced below
Rs 40 per quintal for last 15 years. However, apart from increase in production cost for the current year,
the rate of Arwa rice milling has been reduced to Rs 25 from Rs 40 per quintal. Apart from the milling
rate, policy related to sacks and outcome ratio while being framed for 2016-17, were not discussed with
the millers for a mutual fixation, Agrawal added.
General Secretary of CPRMA Devraj Sankhla, Secretary Pramod Jain and Vijay Tayal, Mahaveer
Agrawal, Treasurer Roshan Chandrakar, Mohan Agrawal, Shrawan Agrawal, Kailash Agrawal,
Dhamendra Kakariya, Murari Bhutda, Gopal Mosi, Dilip Agrawal, Devendra Bhai, Kailash Rungta,
sarvesh Singh Chauhan, Poonam Agrawal, Bholaram Mittal anod other prominent millers were also
present in the meeting.

Customs PRO denies report on reverse of rice ban

Posted By: Okwy Iroegbu-Chikezieon: October 14, 2016In: IndustryNo Comments
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has not reversed the ban on rice.Its Public Relations
Officer (PRO), Mr. Wale Adeniyi, a Deputy-Comptroller, was reacting to a report
which indicated that the Customs had reversed the ban on rice import through land
borders.Adeniyi, in a statement in Abuja, denied the reports which allegedly emanated from him,
saying he never issued such a statement.He said the reports which were published last weekend
were the ones he granted last October.
13

Adeniyi said the service suspected that some forces behind rice smuggling were at work,
recycling old reports under a different circumstance to create confusion. It is necessary to
restate the true position in view of the confusion, which these publications may create in the
industry. It is even more expedient to provide this clarification, given that the service has taken a
firm position earlier in the week through a joint news conference with stakeholders.
We like to reiterate the position that importation of rice remains banned through our land
borders and we have the commitment of partner government agencies and stakeholders to
enforce this restriction, Adeniyi said.
He added that while the restriction is in force, rice imports through the ports are still allowed,
subject to payment of extant charges.
The service will, therefore, advocate a total ban on rice importation into Nigeria with effect
from 2017. It is our belief that continuous waste of scarce Foreign Exchange (forex) on a
commodity that can be produced locally makes no economic sense, most especially at a period of
recession, Adeniyi stated.
Nigeria spends $2 billion yearly on riceimportation.President Muhammadu Buhari, who made
this known recently in Abuja, said to achieve domestic self-sufficiency in rice and other staples
by 2018, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) had been mobilised to encourage local production of rice, maize, sorghum, millet
and soya beans.
14
The president said farmers in 13 out of 36 states were receiving credit support through the
CBNs Anchor Borrowers Programme.

This must have encouraged Adeniyi to restate the confidence that customs had in the ability of
Nigerian Rice Producers (NRP) to fill the sufficiency gaps in the supply of the product.
According to him, Customs had noted the ongoing rice revolution undertaken by many state
governments and strategic interventions by Federal Government agencies.
He said the service was convinced that the bumper harvests expected from these efforts will
address the supply gap next year, urging Nigerians to watch out for similar antics as the stand on
rice smuggling would pitch their selfish interest against national interest.

Rice Comment
November rice recovered a bit today after charting a bearish key reversal yesterday. The monthly
supply/demand report showed increased beginning stocks, and production resulting in a net
increase in ending stocks for the 16/27 marketing year. Ending stocks are now forecast to be
120.7 million metric tons. Export sales were 43,100 tons for the week, down slightly from a
week ago and certainly not enough to spark buying interest. November is hovering around
support at $10

Fortified U.S.-Grown Rice Promoted at Food Aid
Conference
By Peter Bachmann
DES MOINES, IA -- This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) held a joint 2016 International Food Assistance
and Food Security Conference where USA Rice heavily promoted advances in fortified rice.
The gathering provided an ideal setting for information sharing and collaboration by the broader
food aid industry stakeholders, including USA Rice. Both USDA and USAID work
independently to carry out a number of international food aid programs that often utilize U.S.grown rice as part of their food distribution packages including Food for Peace, McGovern-Dole
Food for Education, and Food for Progress programs.
Several hundred participants attended multiple break-out sessions and panels that focused on the
importance of in-kind food aid. One panel looked at increasing the operational efficiency of inkind food assistance and another provided examples for the many private voluntary organizations
(PVOs) that help deliver food aid overseas to better leverage the availability of in-kind
contributions.
During his presentation on Food Aid Quality Review, Dr. Rufino Perez, USAID's Food
Technologist and one of the leads on the initiative to promote fortified rice, emphasized the
benefits of fortified rice for future U.S. government sponsored feeding programs. Specifically,
Dr. Perez noted that rice is a unique commodity, already consumed by millions, and the addition
of fortified rice to the USAID and USDA master list of approved commodities holds the
potential to "make significant strides in the fight against malnutrition."
He went on to say that there will be increasing quantities of rice in future food assistance
programs as "USAID has committed to use this product and will change all future rice
procurement to include fortified rice." USDA is already beginning to use fortified rice in
McGovern-Dole school feeding programs. Dr. Perez will become the lead on all USAID
nutrition programs in the office of Food for Peace in 2017.
18
"It's important for the U.S. rice industry to attend these broader stakeholder events to learn about
the ongoing development of technologies and other innovative solutions to increase the
nutritional composition of U.S. food aid," said Sarah Moran, senior director for international
promotion with USA Rice who attended the conference. "Dr. Perez further solidified the
importance of programming fortified rice into food aid packages, as a new, cost-effective, and
innovative way to reverse global malnourishment in children."
USA Rice continues to advocate to USDA and USAID for the prioritization of U.S.-grown rice
19

through their international food aid programs. This year, industry has seen the first increase in
food aid shipments of rice in the last five years due to USA Rice efforts, exporting nearly 90,000

Eat our local rice, GRIB urges public

By Gideon Ahenkorah, GNA
Accra, Oct. 13, GNA - The Ghana Rice inter-Professional

Body (GRIB) has called on consumers to patronize locally
produced rice to ensure the viability and growth of industry.It
said the low patronage of local rice is a great disservice to
small and medium Enterprises (SMEs) who have invested
their resources into its production.Speaking at the third
annual Ghana National Rice Festival held in Accra, Mr Imoro
Amoro, the President of GRIB, said there has been
improvements in the production and packaging of local rice
and this is geared at meeting the demands and tastes of
consumers.The two-day event dubbed, To promote made in Ghana rice was held under the theme: "Eat
Quality Ghana Rice for A Healthy Life".
Mr Amoro said with the improved state in the industry it is incumbent upon government to make more
investments in the local rice industry and to make it the preferred choice for consumers."Today rice is
eaten 7 days a week, [yet] the country imports tons of rice every year", he said. Mr Amoro called on
government to support the initiatives of GRIB as it seeks to establish mechanization centers at all rice
growing areas of the nation.He appealed for the imposition of special levies on rice imports saying it
would boost local production as the nation currently spends over 500million dollars annually on rice
imports.Mr Amoro said the nations first Ghana Rice Business center was commissioned in August at
Asutsuare and it has made remarkable contributions to the production of local rice to feed consumers.
He called on government to make concessional funding accessible to the rice industry as it would help us
increase rice production.As part of its effort to increase the patronage of local rice, Mr Imoro Amoro said
GRIB is launching a quality Ghana Rice Certification logo which bears the accreditations of Ghana
Standard Authority, Food and Drugs Authority and Brand Ghana office of the Ministry of Trade and
Industry.The event, which brought together many stakeholders and civil bodies, was sponsored by
USAID-ADVANCE, John Agyekum Kuffuor Foundation, GIZ, Tara, Christian Aid, Wienco and Nestle
Ghana Limited.

Research center attempts to plant grain on saline land
2016-10-14 09:30chinadaily.com.cn Editor: Xu Shanshan
A research and development center focusing on "sea rice" agriculture is expected to produce
quality grain on saline and alkaline land, according to a signing ceremony on Wednesday in
Qingdao, East China's Shandong province.
Based in Qingdao Licang District, the new center will invest 100 million yuan ($14.8 million) at
the initiative stage and is expected to reach over 2 billion yuan in the future.
Yuan Longping, dubbed the "father of hybrid rice", serves as the director and chief scientist for
the center.
Sea rice is a product created with genetic engineering technology. Irrigated by sea water with its
salinity no lower than one percent, it can yield 200 to 300 kg per mu (0.06 hectares).
The center plans to start planting sea rice next April and it is expected to be harvested next
autumn, said Yuan, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
"Sea rice growing out of saline and alkaline land has more mineral content than ordinary rice
because sea water contains high microelement," Yuan said.
"Besides, sea rice rows in a wild environment don't suffer [from] plant diseases and insect pests."
According to relevant research, inland China has 1.5 billion mu of saline and alkaline land and
200 million mu of the land has the potential to plant sea rice.
If the availability is at full capacity, a total of 50 billion kg more grain can be produced, which
can feed 200 million people.
"Our aim is to develop a product of sea rice yielding of 300 kg per mu in three years," Yuan
added.
