The document discusses issues related to rice production and trade in several countries. It reports that a rice millers' association in the Indian state of Odisha has alleged that officials are forcing them to accept low quality rice without proper quality checks. This could compromise their ability to deliver high quality rice to the government as required. It also reports that a new food science research center focused on rice, pulses and canola will be opening at Charles Sturt University in Australia. Additionally, it provides updates on rice news headlines from Ghana, the Philippines, and the United States.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus

Ghana: We Have Not Evaded Taxes - Ghana-Cote d'Ivoire Rice
Importers Cry Out
14 JANUARY 2014EMBERS OF the Ghana-Cote D'Ivoire Rice Importers and Sellers have denied the
assertions by Finatrade, a rice importing firm in Ghana, that they do not pay taxes and duties to the
government.The Director in charge of Corporate Affairs of Finatrade, Mr. John Awuni, was reported on TV3
News on January 6, this year, as having said that members of the Ghana-Cote D'Ivoire Rice Importers have
been evading taxes and duties, leading to the government losing over $40million dollars annually.
Mr. Awuni's assertion was in response to recent policy by the government, banning the importation of rice into
Ghana by land and limiting it through only the Kotoka International Airport and the nation's two harbours.But
members of the association have vehemently denied the allegations by Mr. Awuni, describing it as an attempt to
put the association in a bad light and to perpetuate their monopolistic agenda.A spokesperson for the
association, Yaw Korang, told a press conference in Kumasi that it is never true that they have not beenpaying
taxes and duties when they import their products, stressing that members of the association have over the years
been honouring their tax obligations at the nation's borders and also in the course of their trading.According to
him, the claims by Finatrade were clearly a calculated attempt to put the association in a bad light and to
achieve their agenda of being the sole importers of rice products into the country.

4. "We have never on any occasion evaded tax or import duties as being alleged by Finatrade; we have, as
responsible Ghanaians, paid our dues even in extreme challenges to business," Yaw Korang noted.The
association is, therefore, challenging Finatrade and other interested parties to provide evidence of their
assertions that members of the Ghana-Cote D'Ivoire Rice Importers have been evading taxes and
duties.According to the spokesperson, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and Customs Excise and Preventive
Services (CEPS), have all the necessary documents covering their taxes and duties and challenged Finatrade to
verify from the two institutions themselves.Yaw Korang has, therefore, called on the government to tread
cautiously in the handling of the matter in order not to bring untold hardships on the average consumer of rice
products in the country.
According to him, since the enforcement of the ban, prices of rice products have skyrocketed between 20-25
percent on the market.He contended that the poor Ghanaian may not eventually be able to afford rice, which he
noted, has now become the common staple food for many homes, if the ban is not lifted.He further observed
that the policy only seek to promote businesses of foreign importers at the expense of Ghanaians.They,
therefore, called on the general public to join the call in getting government to review the ban in order to protect
small Ghanaian businesses and to protect the poor Ghanaian from the effects of unfair market practices.
Alcala glad ‘David Tan’has surfaced to answer rice smuggling raps
By Gil C. Cabacungan
Philippine Daily Inquirer
10:34 pm | Tuesday, January 14th, 2014
MANILA, Philippines—Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala called it a ―blessing‖ that the suspected rice
smuggler known by the name of David Tan has finally surfaced. ―It‘s a blessing that what we have been saying
all along about a ‗David Tan‘ controlling rice smuggling in the country is true,‖ said Alcala.Rosendo So,
president of the Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (Sinag) and Abono party-list founder, said: ―We look
forward to seeing Davidson ―David Tan‖ Bangayan next week, January 22. The Senate has invited David Tan
through the DOJ (Department of Justice),‖ said So.―Rice traders, cooperatives and rice millers know him, he is
the one selling smuggled rice. Let‘s just wait when they face him in the hearing,‖ said So.While Bangayan
profusely denied being enmeshed in rice smuggling when he appeared at the National Bureau of
Investigation on Tuesday, both Alcala and So noted that Tan‘s lawyer, Benito Salazar, was the same counsel of
two rice importers —Starcraft International Trading Corp. and Silent Royalty Marketing—that have sued the
Bureau of Customs (BOC) for putting on hold the release of P21 million worth of rice shipments at the Davao
port for lack of an import permit.―He (Bangayan) was accompanied by his lawyer Benito Salazar. He is
probably the same Benito Salazar representing Starcraft and Silent Royalty,‖ said So.
In a phone interview, Alcala said that Salazar has been doing the media rounds to villify the Department of
Agrciulture and National Food Authority and force it to liberalize the importation of rice.Alcala said: ―He

5. (Salazar) is the same lawyer who is running after us (the DA and NFA) because we stopped his clients‘ rice
imports.‖Salazar earlier argued that his clients would willingly pay the 50 percent duty on its rice imports but
that the World Trade Organization (WTO), which governed global trading rules between nations including the
Philippines, has already lifted quantitative restrictions on imports.But Alcala stressed that he was just upholding
the rule of law as the 18-year-old Agriculture Tarrification Act or Republic Act 1878, which imposed import
restrictions on farm products, has not yet been voided by Congress. For as long as RA 1878 is in effect,
Salazar‘s clients have to obtain permits from the NFA before shipping rice into the country or else these
shipments would be considered as smuggled and seized upon arrival, according to Alcala.―They have to respect
the law. These import restrictions are meant to protect our farmers. Are we for our farmers or foreign farmers?
We have to protect our rice farmers because it is our goal to have self-sufficiency in the most consumed staple
of Filipinos,‖ said Alcala.

"Rice millers forced to lift paddy"
Press Trust of India | Koraput (Odisha)
January 14, 2014 Last Updated at 12:00 IST
The rice millers' association in Koraput district of Odisha has alleged that it is being forced by officials to lift
paddy under custom milling without quality analysis at procurement centres in ongoing kharif marketing season

6. (KMS). The association feared it may not be able to provide quality rice to the government after custom milling
as it is forced to accept non-fair average quality (non-FAQ) paddy. "The government has set guidelines to
procure FAQ paddy, but quality check is not done at mandis. When we are being forced by officials to accept
non-FAQ paddy then how can we deliver FAQ rice and targeted quantity fixed by the government," questioned
president of the association Purna Chandra Patnaik.
According to the association, officials forced it to accept non-FAQ paddy, citing that refusal to procure inferior
quality paddy may lead to law and order situation at mandis. In this regard, the association has submitted a
memorandum to commissioner-cum-secretary, food supplies and consumer welfare department, and a copy to
the district administration, demanding examination of quality of paddy procured and stocked at various
mills. "We urged the state government to send a team of experts to check quality of paddy, which we have
received from procurement agencies.
Though over 12 lakh quintal of paddy have been procured in the district during the KMS not a single bag of
non-FAQ paddy has been found as quality check is not being done," said secretary of the association Gopal
Panda. Admitting that quality check of paddy is not being done at mandis due to lack of adequate infrastructure,
a senior official of the civil supplies department said it's the duty of regulated market committee (RMC) to
analyse the quality of paddy at mandis. Secretary, RMC (Jeypore), U C Samantaray said, "It's not possible to
check the quality of entire procured paddy at mandis. Random checking of paddy bags is being done to analyse
quality." However, he maintained silence when asked as how many quintals of non-FAQ paddy have been
identified during the KMS.Till Monday, the administration had given a total of 12,50,000 quintal of paddy to
millers under custom milling, official sources said.
Food science research centre to open
A new centre for food science research is to be established at Charles Sturt University (CSU), after the
university secured $2.15 million in funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC).The ARC Training
Centre for Functional Grains, funded through the Industrial Transformation Training Centres program, will be a
research hub for grain scientists from CSU, NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) andCSIRO. It will
focus on three commodities: rice, pulses and canola.The Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation a collaborative research alliance between CSU and NSW DPI - will also be involved with the centre.Other

Legumes Nutrition Council (GLNC), Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Rural
Industry Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC).―We want to improve the profitability of the
Australian grains industry and transform the sector into a high-value export industry,‖ said Centre Director and
CSU Associate Professor in Food Science Chris Blanchard.―Rice, pulses and canola account for $2.5 billion of
earnings when sold as commodities, with even greater economic potential for the Australian economy through
value adding.‖The centre has identified several aims:
Identifying the preferences of Australian and international grain customers
Improving grain storage; developing new grain-based products with enhanced sensory and health
attributes
Training the next generation of food science researchers
―We want to transform the three commodities by examining the functionality of food, particularly the growing
demand for healthy food or food with novel applications,‖ Associate Professor Blanchard said.―What is called
the ‗functional food market‘ was worth US$25 billion globally in 2011, yet Australia had only a 1.6%
share.‖Associate Professor Blanchard and his team have been commended for securing the competitive ARC
funding.―The ARC received 13 proposals for 2014 under the Industrial Transformation Training Centres
scheme, with only seven of those successful,‖ said CSU Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann.―Charles
Sturt University‘s position in the food bowl of Australia offers natural linkages between researchers and food
processors of these major commodities.‖

NBI detains alleged rice smuggler 'David Tan'. Businessman Davidson Bangayan, believed to be the David
Tan being linked to rice smuggling, turned himself in to Justice Secretary Leila De Lima on Tuesday, January
14, to deny involvement in rice smuggling activities. He was later arrested by the NBI for violation of RA 7832
or the Anti-Electricity and Electric Transmission Lines/Materials Pilferage. Danny Pata
After being held for several hours, suspectedbig-time rice smuggler
Davidson Bangayan was released Tuesday afternoon after he was
able ―to clear‖ his name.Bangayan's lawyer, Benito Salazar, said the
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) released his client after he
presented his driver's license and birth certificate showing he is not
David Tan, the man being linked to rice smuggling activities.
―We were able to prove that my client is not David Tan. That is why
we went to Justice Secretary [Leila] de Lima and the NBI, precisely to clear my client's name,‖ Salazar told

smuggling,‖ De Lima told reporters.De Lima said Bangayan claimed he is engaged in the sale of scrap
metal and fertilizer, but admitted that he also has a small rice business.De Lima said the NBI, which is
investigating rice smuggling incidents, had earlier submitted to her a photograph of Bangayan and an initial
report saying Bangayan and David Tan were one and the same person.
She said Bangayan was eventually arrested by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by the Caloocan City Regional
Trial Court Branch 126.The case, filed against a certain Rose Tan, and David Tan, among others, accused them
of violating Republic Act 7832 or the Anti-Electricity and Electric Transmission Lines/Materials Pilferage Act
of 1994.Salazar confirmed that the name indicated in the arrest warrant and in the RTC case was David Tan and
not Davidson Bangayan.Salazar said his client has no plans of filing any charges against the NBI in relation to
the apparent confusion in the identity of the wanted rice smuggler. — KBK, GMA News
Rice sale to China delayed by legal limbo over 'caretaker' powers
Rice sale to China delayed by legal limbo over 'caretaker' powers
Petchanet Pratruangkrai
The Nation January 15, 2014 1:00 am
THE CARETAKER government is likely to face a new threat of more protests by farmers, who have suffered
from the delay of payments for their pledged rice.The sale of 1 million tonnes of rice to China has been delayed
while a Bt130-billion loan waits for the green light from the Election Commission (EC).Some 100 farmers from
Phichit gathered on Monday to block the inbound lanes of Route 11 from Wang Thong, Phitsanulok, to Tak
Pha, Lamphun, threatening to escalate the protest to oust the government if their claims are not settled by
today.Farmers from Ratchaburi, Nakhon Ratchasima and Khon Kaen also asked the government again for their
payment for pledged rice, giving Wednesday as the deadline. They also threatened to block roads.
The Commerce Ministry has delayed its plan to sell 1 million tonnes of rice to China. It is afraid of breaching
the laws limiting the functions of a caretaker government after receiving vague guidance from the Election
Commission.The ministry late last year asked for permission from the EC to sell rice, and the EC appeared to
give it the nod in a written response last week. However, Commerce Minister Niwatthumrong Boonsongpaisan
said yesterday that the reply did not specify the prices and periods of shipment. The ministry needs to clarify
these points before it can finalise the deal with China.

Cell # 92 321 369 2874
10. The deal agreed by the Foreign Trade Department was to ship a total of 1 million tonnes to China over the
course of this year. But in its reply to the ministry, the EC said it should not make long-term commitments that
would affect the incoming government.Legal experts are studying the powers of a caretaker government to try
to sort out whether the ministry can legally sign a rice contract for a period that would still be in effect when the
new government is established.Wichian Phuanglamchiak, president of the Thai Agriculturists Association, said
many farmers had been suffering from non-payment by the government for months."Farmers are desperately
hoping that the government can pay the pledged cost to them soon, as they have many liabilities piling up such
as the cost of harvesting their rice, driving their trucks and feeding their families," he said.
Niwatthumrong said: "If the |China rice sale is postponed, the new government would be expected to |sign on to
it in the near future."Thought farmers participating in the pledging programme have been complaining about
late payments, the minister said postponing the China deal should not affect the government's ability to pay up.
The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives should be able to get all payments up to date by the
end of this month, he said.Finance Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong said he was waiting for |an appointment with
the EC to explain the need to borrow Bt130 billion to pay for the 2013-14 harvest season."The loan is not an
obligation |for the next government as the Cabinet in the third quarter of last year assigned the ministry to
secure it," he said.Expenses might be lower than |the budget of Bt130 billion, depending on the proceeds from
selling rice |from the state's stockpiles. As a |source of money, the financial market now has high liquidity. The
government could tap BAAC's liquidity by offering it high rates of return, Kittiratt said.
A report showed the government had already spent Bt701.8 billion for 50 million tonnes of pledged rice since
2010. The Commerce Ministry was able to sell rice worth Bt180 billion, but the government needs more to pay
the pledging costs.The ministry also reported that about 10 million tonnes of rice were |now in government
storage. Also, 5 |million tonnes have shipment contracts, while 10 million tonnes of paddy rice have entered the
government's granaries under the current pledging round (2013-14).
COLUMN-Rubber and rice price declines add to Yingluck's woes:
Clyde Russell

Clyde Russell is a Reuters market analyst. The views expressed are his own.-By Clyde Russell
LAUNCESTON, Australia, Jan 14 (Reuters) - If embattled Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra didn't
already have enough to deal with as protesters try to force her from office, she could worry about the outlook
for rubber and rice.These two commodities form the backbone of Thailand's agriculture, and their fortunes are
crucially linked to Yingluck's given her reliance on support from the rural poor.Rice prices have been steadily

11. declining for the past two years, and Yingluck can shoulder some of the blame as it's her government's
intervention scheme that has created a massive overhang of global supplies of the grain.
On rubber, she may also bear responsibility for falling prices, given that her temporary removal of an export tax
in September boosted shipments from the world's top exporter.Problem is that the tax relief ended last month
and rubber stocks in top buyer China are now the highest in almost a decade.Chinese buyers took advantage of
the temporary tax relief to buy up cargoes, with imports reaching a record 350,000 tonnes in December, a jump
of 67 percent year-on-year.The country breakdown of imports isn't yet available, but it's a fair bet the bulk of
the increase came from Thailand, given the 38 percent jump in November.China's rubber imports were 2.47
million tonnes in 2013, a gain of 13.5 percent from the year earlier.
In the 11 months to November, Thailand's increased its share of Chinese imports by 14.7 percent, supplying just
over half of total volumes.The surge in imports has resulted in rubber inventories in warehouses monitored by
the Shanghai Futures Exchange gaining 8 percent to 190,158 tonnes last week - their highest since 2004. SNRTOTAL-DW.Total inventories in China could be nearly half a million tonnes including stocks in bonded
warehouses in the port of Qingdao, well above monthly consumption of around 340,000 tonnes.While lower
prices and strong auto sector growth are likely to encourage continued imports, it's likely the pace of growth
will ease sharply from that of the last quarter of 2013.Benchmark Tokyo rubber futures for June delivery fell
more than 3 percent to a five-month low of 246.4 yen ($2.38) per kilogram in early trade on Jan. 14.Prices have
declined about 26 percent from the 2013 closing high of 334 yen per kilogram, reached in early February.
Crude rubber inventories at Japanese ports are also at elevated levels, gaining 5 percent to 12,560 tonnes in the
11 days to Dec. 31, a 6-1/2-month high.With major buyers China and Japan enjoying comfortable inventories it
would appear that the only way to keep their buying interest alive will be through lower prices.This will likely
anger Thai rubber farmers, presenting a further headache to Yingluck, who is already facing mounting protests
from rice farmers over late payments from her flagship subsidy scheme.
RICE CASH CRUNCH
The Thai government appears to be struggling to find cash to pay farmers delivering their crops under the rice
mortgage scheme. The subsidy programme has resulted in a massive build-up of unsold stockpiles and seen
Thailand passed as the world's top exporter by bothIndia and Vietnam.Thai 5-percent broken rice RI-THBKN5P1 has spent most of the time since the July 2011 introduction of the subsidy scheme falling, declining from a
peak of $620 a tonne in October of that year to $420 a tonne as of Jan. 10.
Daily Rice E-Newsletter by Rice Plus Magazine www.ricepluss.com
News and R&D Section mujajhid.riceplus@gmail.com
Cell # 92 321 369 2874
12. Its traditional premium over Vietnamese rice RI-VNBKN5-P1 has evaporated and the rival grade was briefly
more expensive than Thai supplies in November and December last year.This underscores the failure, in
financial terms, of the rice pledging scheme and is resulting in increasingly desperate measures by Yingluck's
government.Thailand's state-backed farm bank is trying to sell a 20 billion baht ($607 million) bond to pay
farmers, who receive about a 40 percent premium to the market price for their crop.However, the bank's prior
offering of 75 billion baht in November only raised half the planned amount, and it's unlikely the new offering
will succeed unless generous terms are offered.
Farmers, many of whom haven't received any cash for the main rice harvest in October, are threatening to join
the anti-government protests, which are currently supported mainly by urban and middle-class residents, who
generally back the opposition Democrat Party.Yingluck appears to be hunkering down and hoping to ride out
the protests until a Feb. 2 general election that is likely to renew her electoral mandate.With the main opposition
boycotting the poll, it's unlikely the vote will solve the problems or reconcile the interests of the rural poor and
urban residents.However, if rice and rubber prices continue to trend lower, then Yingluck's rural support base
may erode, and this could be a more serious threat than the protesters currently blockading government offices
in the capital Bangkok. (Editing by Michael Urquhart)
OA to demand price cuts for downgraded packaged rice
By Joy Lee, The China Post
January 15, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Council of Agriculture (COA) Minister Chen Bao-ji (陳保基) yesterday said that all food
sellers have to decrease the price of packaged rice that is downgraded so consumers will not be
deceived.According to the COA, the officials started to enforce inspections on mislabeled packaged rice after
many brand name food sellers were discovered to have intentionally mislabeled low-cost rice as more expensive
local rice last year.However, the COA said, instead of improving the quality of rice products, many food sellers
chose to change the names of those products or downgrade them on the label without decreasing their prices.
The COA said that food sellers who made changes on labels in order to avoid having their food dealer
certificates revoked were effectively lying to customers.Chen said that the COA cannot fine those food sellers
since what they did was not against the regulations, but customers can choose not to purchase those
products.Director Li Tsang-lang (李蒼郎) of the Agriculture and Food Agency (農糧署,AFA) under the COA
also said that the Food Administration Act can only govern the labels and quality of rice and food
products.―However, consumers can boycott packaged rice with unreasonable prices,‖ said Lee.According to the
COA, some food sellers even used markers to change the labels of rice packages.The COA demanded that all
food sellers take downgraded packaged rice off the shelves in order to properly change their labels.

13. Rice in Bulk Is the Main Issue: Food Seller
A food seller yesterday pointed out that the government should pay more attention to rice that is sold in bulk in
order to ensure their quality.Agriculture and Food Agency (AFA) deputy chief Chen Chien-bin (陳建斌)
yesterday said that all the rice sold in bulk should have labels marking their names and origins, and officials will
also enforce inspections on those rice packages sold in bulk.Chen also said that the agency will randomly
choose 80 to 90 packages of rice for monthly inspection starting this year.
However, a food seller said that rice that is sold in bulk should be the main target for inspections since most of
those products are not well labeled and customers cannot tell the quality of those rice products.Another food
seller said that prices for rice are strictly controlled by the government, so rice sellers cannot increase
prices freely based on the consumer price index. Therefore, only some food sellers will intentionally mislabel
rice products in order to receive higher profits.
C. Luzon flooded with Vietnam rice
500,000 bags arrive in Subic amid calls for probe of 3 top smugglers
Philippine Daily Inquirer
8:06 pm | Tuesday, January 14th, 2014
CABANATUAN CITY— At least 500,000 bags of rice imported by the government from Vietnam meant for
Central Luzon have arrived at the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales amid allegations that the importation is
tainted with irregularities including the involvement of three alleged smugglers.In a statement, Amadeo de
Guzman, National Food Authority (NFA) director in Central Luzon, said the rice shipment that was now in
Subic was part of the 500,000 metric tons of rice that the government is importing from Vietnam as buffer
stock.But in a separate statement, activist lawyer Argee Guevarra said the government importation should be
investigated for irregularities amid what he said was the involvement of three top smugglers.
According to De Guzman, an additional 25,000 bags of Vietnam rice would arrive in Subic later this month for
Central Luzon together with 200,000 bags meant for Cagayan Valley.―With this imported rice, a sufficient
supply of this staple food is already assured for the region this year,‖ De Guzman said.
3 smugglers
In his statement, Guevarra said the Bureau of Customs should run after three personalities who were known to
be working with the NFA to bring in imported rice that was overpriced.One of the smuggling operators is based
in Cebu and is known only as David Lim. Another is operating from Binondo and is known only as Jojo
Soliman and another is a woman who is known among agriculture officials as the Janet Lim-Napoles of the
agriculture department.―Smugglers will always be present. What makes this worse is that they do it in collusion

said.
―These corrupt officials sell importation permits to allow smuggled rice to enter the country,‖ he
added.According to the NFA‘s De Guzman, the Vietnam rice ―is meant to augment the current rice stocks
which were badly affected due to the successive calamities that hit the country in 2013.‖―It will augment the
NFA‘s food security buffer which was depleted due to the abnormally huge requirement for Central Luzon,‖ De
Guzman said.
Rice producer
Central Luzon is a premier rice-producing region, which produces enough rice to earn a rice sufficiency level of
138 percent. Its rice harvests represent 18 percent of the Philippines‘ total rice production.Nueva Ecija is the
country‘s top rice-producing province, with a yearly average yield of 1.13 million MT.Tarlac, another rice
producer in Central Luzon, has a yearly average yield of 470,000 MT.Guevarra said rice cartels were now
relying on import permits from NFA and the government importation scheme had given them a window of
opportunity to continue smuggling rice into the country.He said the new leadership at the customs bureau
should review the legal framework that allowed ―public sector monopoly‖ of rice importation. Anselmo Roque,

16. Foodgrains
production in the
State is likely to fall
short of the target by
about 18-lakh tonnes
in 2013-14. The
shortfall is being
attributed to damage
of standing crops due
to cyclones in the
coastal districts and
because of excessive
rains
in
other
areas.The shortfall is
mainly contributed
by drop in the
production of paddy
(rice) by 10.5-lakh
tonnes and that of
pulses by 5.02-lakh
tonnes.The
production of cotton
cultivated in over 24lakh
hectares,
a
record, oilseeds and
sugarcane have also been estimated to be much below the targets set by the State Government.According to
Director of Economics and Statistics D. Dakshinamurthy, foodgrains production is likely to be 207.29-lakh
tonnes against the target of 224.96-lakh tonnes, an 8 per cent dip in the expected output. Similarly, the
production of pulses has been put below expectation at 12.74-lakh tonnes against 17.76-lakh tonnes.
The production of foodgrains has suffered due to low productivity (yield) caused by unfavourable weather
conditions during the crucial stages of crops, though the extent of crops‘ cultivation has matched or exceeded
the targets fixed by the government. Paddy has been cultivated in 43.95-lakh hectares against the target of 44lakh hectares but the yield is 3,115-kg per hectare against expectation of 3,350-kg.
However, cultivation of pulses has fallen short of target by over 5-lakh hectares as the sowings were badly hit
badly with untimely and excessive rains. As a result, they were sown only in 16.42-lakh hectares against the
target of 21.85-lakh hectares.Excessive rains have also dashed the hopes of cotton farmers who were expecting
bumper production this year. Against the estimated 78-lakh bales production, only 52.35-lakh bales production
is being expected now.In contrast, cultivation of oilseed suffered badly due to scanty rainfall in Anantapur
district where groundnut is the major crop. Groundnut covers about 80 per cent of oilseed cultivation in the

affected in greater proportion due to low yields.

2015 Rice Importation Ban: Disregard US Report, FG Urged
14 Jan 2014
By Crusoe Osagie
Stakeholders in the agricultural sector have
urged Nigerians and the Federal Government to
disregard comments from the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggesting
that Nigeria will not attain self-sufficiency in
rice by 2015.Describing the declaration as
selfish, the President of the National
Association of Nigerian Traders (NANTS),
Ken Ukaoha, called on the federal government
to move on with its scheme targeted at
redeeming the nation from dependence on
imported rice to feed Nigerians.Nigeria currently spends about a billion Naira daily importing rice, a
development, which the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, says is helping
to put farmers to work in countries like the united states,India and Thailand, while putting farmers out of work
in Nigeria.According to the NANTS boss, all of the nation's efforts must be channelled towards achieving food
security in the country because "a country that cannot depend on itself for the food with which its citizens are
sustained is not truly an independent nation.
"He explained that it is not the first time to hear such sweeping statements from United States, pointing out that
the same story had been told in the past concerning corn and wheat, simply because these commodities are
export revenue earners for them. When a major importing nation is making good effort to disentangle itself
from the import-dependence viscious cycle, there are bound to be resistance from exporting countries like the
US.Also calling for the disregard of the USDA rice figures, Vice President of the Nigerian Association of
Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Mr Dele Oye, urged the

18. government to proceed in the pursuit of the 2015 deadline for the ban on rice importation, calling it an easy way
out of the unecessarily high cost of feeding Nigerians.
According to Oye, Nigeria has no business with food insecurity, due to the wide variety of food crops that grow
well and produce bountilfuly in the country's agroecology."Why do people always associate our country's food
security with rice? When did we begin to eat rice in this quantity? We are the highest producers of Yam and
Cassava in the world. We produce maize, millet, guinea corn, plantain, coco yam, cowpea, soya beans, and
various other staple food crops in abundance. So, from where did they get the information that if we do not have
enough rice, then our people would starve? they cannot be father from the truth"The NACCIMA vice president
explained that even if local production of rice fails to meet local consumption of the commodity in Nigeria by
2015, all that will happen is that people will switch from rice as their major source of carbourhydrate to other
sources such as garri, yam, cocoa yam, plantain and millet among others.
Statistics from the United States government obtained by THISDAY last week faulted the claim of the Federal
Government that Nigeria will achieve self-sufficiency in rice production in the year 2015.Minister of
Agriculture and Rural Development Dr. Akinwumi Adesina had last year announced that going by the massive
increase in rice production across the country occasioned by the implementation of the Agricultural
Transformation Agenda (ATA) and the Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) of the federal government,
indigenous rice producers will be able to produce all the rice needed in the country by 2015. This sets the stage
for a ban on the importation of the commodity that year. But a United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) report yesterday stated that rice farmers and millers in Nigeria believe the decision to ban rice imports
completely in 2015 could be counter-productive and requires a review to protect the interests of the local rice
industry.
According to the USDA, Nigeria‘s rice imports in 2013-14 are estimated to reach around 3 million tonnes, up
about 3.4 percent from about 2.9 million tonnes of rice imports in the 2012-13. This is mainly because the
projected increase in rice production in 2013-14 falls short of consumption requirement.The USDA noted that
Nigeria‘s rice production in 2013-14 is expected to reach around 2.7 million tonnes, up about 12.5 percent from
previous year's production of about 2.4 million tonnes.
However, rice consumption in Nigeria is projected to increase to around 6 million tonnes in 2013-14, up about
11 percent from around 5.4 million tonnes in the previous year.Responding to the USDA report, Special
Adviser to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Olukayode Oyeleye, warned that whatever

19. information comes from the United States with respect to rice must be taken with a pinch of salt, considering
the fact that the US is one of the biggest exporters of rice to Nigeria and the policy banning rice importation by
2015 will therefore impact on them negatively."There is the likelihood of a political undertone to what is
coming from the US in Nigeria's quest for self-sufficiency in rice production and consumption. It is the same
thing we expect to happen with our policy that targets reduced wheat importation," Oyeleye said.

Tanzania: Rice Prices to Remain Stable
BY HENRY LYIMO, 14 JANUARY 2014
TRADERS say food prices, especially of rice are expected to fall further following bumper harvest in southern
highland regions including Mbeya last year.Economists have predicted deeper drop of the country's inflation
rate on the back of favourable prices of rice and other food crops. Rice is a staple food in many parts of the
country, particularly coastal areas.The National Bureau of Statistics (TBS) said last week that annual headline
inflation declined to 5.6 per cent in December, last year, from 6.2 per cent a month earlier due to slower rise
in prices of commodities during the month.According to TBS, the food and non-alcoholic beverages inflation
rate decreased to 5.6 per cent in December. Overall, the trend indicates that the speed of price increase
for goods and services decreased significantly in 2013, when compared with the speed of price increase in
2012, the statistics body said.The annual average headline inflation rates have decreased to 7.9 per cent in 2013
from 16.0 per cent in 2013.This trend is highly attributed to the decrease in prices for food items. 'Business
Standard' survey showed rice price range of between 1,800/- and 1,100/- per kilogramme at major food
markets in Mwananyamala, Sinza and Mwenge.
For wholesale price at Buguruni and Tandale, it ranged from 1,500/- to 1,100/-. The highest price is for rice
from Mbeya which is the most preferred and the lowest is for the one sourced from Ifakara in Morogoro
Region.Rice traders told the 'Business Standard' that the prices have stabilised since early last year when they
reached an all time high due to poor harvests in rice growing areas in 2011.They said they expected rice price
will not rise as they were assured of its abundant supply, because large stocks of rice harvested in 2013 were
still in godowns in Mbeya. They said the stocks of the food from last year's harvests would not be finished
before the new harvest season begins next April and May.According to them, food stores and godowns in
Mbeya were full of rice and traders were in a rush to clear the stock before the new season."Rice is plentiful.
People in Ifakara have not sold theirs and so is the case in Shinyanga. We are selling rice from Mbeya and it is
still abundant," said Kassim Mohamed, a trader at Mwananyamala market.
