Rice farmers in Africa still face many challenges according to an AATF study, including the use of saved seeds which leads to low yields, lack of machinery, and low fertilizer use. Climate change is also causing some farms to be abandoned due to salt accumulation. The study found that yields in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and other African countries remain extremely low compared to Asia due partly to abiotic and biotic stresses. Cambodian rice exports increased 41% in the first half of 2020 with China remaining the largest buyer.

Unpaid Thai rice farmers threaten protests over unpaid rice sales to the government. They have not been paid for rice sold under an intervention scheme for over two months. This could add problems for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who called an early election this week amid ongoing protests in Bangkok. Meanwhile, India's foodgrain production is on track to break the previous record set in 2011-2012 if favorable weather continues through the winter season. Wheat and other crop plantings are higher than last year so far.

Unpaid Thai rice farmers threaten protests over unpaid rice sales to the government. They have not been paid for rice sold under an intervention scheme for over two months. This could add problems for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who called an early election this week amid ongoing protests in Bangkok. Meanwhile, India's foodgrain production is on track to break the previous record set in 2011-2012 if favorable weather continues through the winter season. Wheat and other crop plantings are higher than last year so far.

The EU is reconsidering the zero import duty status granted to Cambodia and Myanmar for rice under the Everything But Arms agreement. The Italian rice sector has expressed concern about increased competition from duty-free rice imports from these Southeast Asian countries. Italy wants to change the zero duty conditions and is supported by other EU rice producing countries like Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, France and Portugal. The EU will examine import quotas and prices to determine if imports are threatening EU rice production. The Italian rice agency Ente Risi is especially concerned about rising imports of cheaper rice from Myanmar threatening the Italian rice sector.

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.

Vietnam and Pakistan rice sellers increased their quotes by about $5 per ton. Thailand and India rice sellers kept their quotes mostly unchanged. Vietnam rice sellers increased Jasmine rice quotes to $520-$530 per ton, while Pakistan increased quotes for broken rice varieties by $5 per ton each. Thailand remained the cheapest origin for rice.

The document discusses several issues related to rice production and trade:
1) Rice exporters in Pakistan are suffering losses of up to $100,000 per container due to the recent appreciation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar. This has made Pakistani rice less competitive on the global market.
2) Climate change is projected to lower rice production in Pakistan by 2-4% by 2020 due to increased temperatures reducing yields. The country will need strategies to improve water efficiency and develop new crop varieties.
3) The Philippines is expected to import 1.4 million tons of rice in 2014, 200,000 tons more than previously estimated, as the government looks to increase buffer stocks following losses from recent typhoons.

23rd november,2020 daily global regional local rice e newsletterRiceplus Magazine
This document summarizes the development of a new glutinous rice variety called "hom naga" in Thailand. It was developed through a collaborative research effort to create a variety with increased disease resistance, flood tolerance, and higher yields for farmers. The hom naga variety has undergone field trials and testing over several years. It is photoperiod insensitive, allowing two crops per year. The short stems make it suitable for mechanical harvesting. Farmers who have grown it report it as a high-yielding and pest-resistant variety. The researchers aimed to develop a better quality sticky rice for consumers while helping farmers increase their income.
The document summarizes news articles about rice production, trade, and cooperation between China and African countries. It discusses an initiative to strengthen China-Africa cooperation along the rice value chain by leveraging their comparative advantages. Mozambique is mentioned as an example of an African country with suitable land for rice but challenges in technology, financing, infrastructure and markets. The initiative aims to solve bottlenecks in Africa's rice industry through experience-sharing between China and African partners.

Climate change a threat to food security in PakistanTajamal Hussain
Climate change poses a serious threat to food security in Pakistan. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to climate change as rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events are negatively impacting crop yields and productivity. This is exacerbated by Pakistan's growing population. Wheat production is projected to decline significantly by 2050 due to the effects of climate change, reducing per capita availability. To ensure future food security, Pakistan must implement mitigation and adaptation strategies like developing new crop varieties and irrigation techniques that can better withstand the impacts of climate change.

Rice plants engineered by scientists at the University of Sheffield to have fewer stomata (pores used for gas exchange) were found to be more drought tolerant and resilient to climate change. A study showed that rice with reduced stomatal density used 60% less water under drought conditions and was able to survive drought and high temperatures longer than unmodified plants. This type of rice could boost food security threatened by more frequent droughts predicted under climate change. Scientists from China have also had initial success growing salt-tolerant "seawater rice" in Dubai by experimenting with rice varieties tolerant of high salt concentrations in soil. This could help boost food supplies and improve ecosystems in the desert country. The U.S. rice

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

KARACHI: Agriculture is extremely

in Pakistan, which is the one of the worst
hit countries of climate change,
agriculture is badly affected, said climate
change
experts
and
nature
conservationists on Saturday. Addressing
a conference on climate change organised
by the Habib University, experts said
water availability, food security and
human healthcare were most likely to be
negatively affected by climate change, ie,
erratic weather patterns, changing rainfall trends and extreme weather events including floods which have been
plaguing the countryside for the past few years.
Experts also said that beside Pakistan, other developing countries, several of them in the Asia Pacific region, are also
likely to face the brunt of the environmental, social and economic impacts of climate change. There are assertions
that greenhouse gas emissions were a major factor in climate change; however, developing countries contribute only

3. 10 percent of the annual global carbon dioxide emissions. In fact, Pakistan, the sixth most populous country in the
world, ranks 135th in carbon dioxide emissions. Quoting recent report from the World Bank, climate change experts
warned Pakistan of the existence of five major risks related to climate change. Those include rise in sea level, glacial
retreats, floods, higher average temperature and higher frequency of droughts. These raise major challenges for
current and future decision-making and have multifaceted impact on the economy, agriculture, water resources and
urban management.
Experts estimate the country incurs financial losses of $5.2 billion annually as a result of environmental
degradation. The speakers added that Pakistan had witnessed devastating floods and droughts. The seesaw weather
patterns are a new phenomenon but the term 'climate change' was neither widely recognised nor completely
understood in the country. In fact, global warming and climate change is still seen as a global issue and policy
makers and stakeholders in Pakistan have been unable to root it in the indigenous context. This hampers discussions
and consensus building on the subject and exacerbates the problem.Dr Bruce A McCarl, Regents Professor,
Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M University, while delivering the presentation, "Climate Change
and Decision Making: An Economic and Agricultural Perspective" said as a result of climate change, there had been
increases in rainfall intensity and dry periods between events and Pakistan suffered more than any place in the world.
"Due to the impacts of the climate change, crop yield will reduce drastically by 2030 in many regions of the world,"
he said. He added that the number of the warmest years was increasing, which in turn accelerated evaporation from
the ocean, increasing the annual rainfall. "But Pakistan has seen a decline in recent years," he said. "All 12 years
since 2000 are among the 14 warmest years since 1879 and only one year during 20th century-1998-was warmer
than 2012," he said, adding that the year 2012 was the 36th consecutive year with global temperatures above the 20th
century average.Dr Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal, Head of Agriculture Section at Global Change Impact Studies Center,
Islamabad Pakistan in his address, "Climate Change: Vulnerability of Pakistan and Impacts on Agriculture," said the
growing season length of wheat and rice in Pakistan will be reduced as a result of climate change with negative
effects on yield. He said the reduction was greatest in the semi-arid areas and rice seemed to be more sensitive to
climate changes than wheat, as evidenced by greater yield reduction of rice under the same scenarios.
Quoting data, he said Pakistan had continuously witnessed history's worst disasters since 2001. "Both irrigated and
rain-fed agriculture were vulnerable to climate extreme events. "In 1949-50, the agriculture sector was contributing
53 percent in the country's GDP, which dropped to 31 percent during 1980-81, and during 2012-13 it has dropped
drastically to only 21.4 percent."Dr Shoaib Zaidi, Dean of School of Science & Engineering, Habib University,
Professor Ilan Chabay, Dr Balgis Osman-Elasha and Dr Heinz Gutscher of the University of Zurich also spoke.

Pakistan is exporting 70 percent of its rice production to various countries and it is 15pc of total world exports
of the commodity, said Masood Iqbal, the chairman of Rice Export Association of Pakistan. Flanked by some
rice exporters, he was briefing a delegation of Russian traders and importers at a rice mills here about the
produce in Pakistan. Iqbal said that Pakistan is an agricultural country and rice is its third largest agricultural
product after cotton and wheat.
Pakistan’s rice is exported to a number of countries including Middle East, Europe and America, he
said.Masood also said that REAP was the representative body of 1,500 rice exporters across the four provinces
whose collective rice export was of 2 billion dollars in the last four years. “Annual rice production of the
country is 6.5 million tonnes out of which approximately 4.5 million tonnes is exported and it is about 70% of
total domestic production. Pakistan is 4th largest exporter of rice whose share in international exports is 15%,”
he said.On the occasion, the Russian traders said that rice is important part of Russian food and lion’s share of
rice required by their country is imported from Pakistan. The rice imports from Pakistan in 2010-11 were
32,449 metric tonnes; in 2011-12, 34,420 metric tonnes and in 2012-13 were 27,206 metric tonnes, they said.
The delegation also witnessed preparation and packaging of rice and quality control units. They vowed to
increase rice imports from Pakistan and hoped that Pakistan would not compromise on quality and standard of
production. An honorary shield was given to the Russian delegation at mills.
Re-examine rice importation policies, gov’t urged

MANILA, Philippines–A consumer group on Sunday called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to spearhead a
review of the government’s rice importation policies and procedures.In a statement, Action for Consumerism
and Transparency for Nation Building (Action) said “a re-examination of the government’s regulatory policies
towards the importation of rice is clearly overdue.“Unless the legal loopholes are plugged, legitimate importers
will be at the mercy of the whims of some government officials tailoring their interpretation of the law
according to their own agenda/gains,” Ryann Baccay, director of Action said.Action said the DOJ’s review
“should include the National Food Authorities’ (NFA) allowable rice imports in the country under the
quantitative restriction (QR) quotas of the government, the private sector quota, the government to government
rice trade, but should also recognize the rights, as well as, opportunities given to farmers’ cooperatives to import
rice.

5. ”While the NFA allowed farmer cooperatives to import rice (on the premise that they are the ones to be
inadvertently affected by the entry of cheaper rice import thus needed to be protected), the government must
have forgotten to give the farmers credit facilities to allow them to participate in the importations by
themselves, the group said.Due to the volume of imports which needs huge capital, farmer cooperatives since
year 2003 are forced to look for financiers or investors to avail themselves of the earning opportunities via rice
importations, or worse, sell their import quota.“This system which was allowed and “encouraged” to flourish
for more than a decade, by no less than the government thru the NFA has attracted some legitimate businessmen
forging agreements with some farmer cooperatives.”But, Action noted, it has also been subject to abuse by
smuggling syndicates.Action said, as it is, no specific restriction or legal obstruction that will prevent
cooperatives to seek private financing or joint-venturing to benefit from their import quotas as long as they
follow all the requirements of the NFA and the Bureau of Customs (BOC). Vice versa, there is also no
impediment for some minor importers from cooperating or conducting business with farmer cooperatives.“Had
the rules been clearer and definitive, legitimate businessmen would not have ventured into such,” Action
added.Action also called on the Senate (presently having an inquiry into rice smuggling) to pass necessary laws
that will address the import problems of the cooperatives. The group also committed to support reforms that are
underway, to eradicate not just smuggling of rice but other commodities as well which will affect the
competitiveness of local farmers
Rice institute in Los Baños to hold Manansala Day
Artists and scientists join forces to preserve the two Manansalas
By Lester Babiera:Philippine Daily Inquirer
10:21 pm | Sunday, January 26th, 2014
For over 50 years, staff and guests of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) have had the pleasure of
dining in the presence of two brilliant masterpieces by National Artist Vicente Manansala.In 1962, shortly after
the IRRI facility in Los Baños was established, it commissioned Manansala to paint two murals. One was
installed at its cafeteria and the other in its dining room.In commemoration of Manansala’s 104th birthday,
artists and art enthusiasts will join the scientific community at the IRRI headquarters on Jan. 29 to pay tribute to
the late National Artist and his murals.The day-long event, “Si Manansala at ang Masaganang Ani,” will have a
special viewing of the paintings, a symposium on the artist’s life and work, and a special exhibit.
Manansala was a multi-awarded artist who became popular for his trademark Transparent Cubism technique.
He was proclaimed National Artist in 1982, a year after he died.Twenty Filipino artists, some who knew
Manansala personally and had worked with him directly, will be visiting the institute for sketching and painting
sessions followed by an art market.Artists include Hermes Alegre, Rey Arcilla, Lito Balagtas, Cee Cadid, Cris
Cruz, Buds Convocar, Ember Crisostomo, Fil de la Cruz, Anna de Leon, Rudolf Gonzales, Boy Mata, Nemesio
Miranda, Francis Nacion, Roel Obemio, Al Perez, Omi Reyes, Ephraim Samson, Aner Sebastian, Migs
Villanueva and Joseph Villamar.

6. Featured speakers in the symposium at 2:30 p.m. are Manansala’s granddaughter Ronna, herself an artist;
Nemesio Miranda, head of the Committee on Visual Arts of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts
(NCCA); Ana Labrador, assistant director at the National Museum; Ben Vergara, National Scientist and trustee
of the National Museum; and Maritess Pineda, president of the Friends of Manansala Foundation, Inc.
(FMF).Production of limited-edition prints of the two Manansala paintings at IRRI will be launched during the
event.In November 1984, the Manansala paintings at IRRI underwent preventive conservation. Almost 30 years
later, IRRI is once again exploring options to protect the paintings, including relocation of the murals, and is
working closely with the FMF, National Museum, and the NCCA.

Document links DA, NFA chiefs to smuggling'
By Ding Cervantes, The Philippine Star
Posted at 01/27/2014 7:36 AM | Updated as of 01/27/2014 7:36 AM
ANGELES CITY – Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala and administrator Oscar Calayag of the National Food
Authority (NFA) are being implicated in rice smuggling.The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) said
Alcala and Calayag made it appear that rice smugglers operate underground when, in fact, they had granted
them import permits.Willy Marbella, KMP deputy secretary-general, said the NFA could not have issued import
permits to rice importers if they do not know the people behind them. Rice smugglers and their dummies
likewise cannot secure an import permit if they don’t have connections to powerful and influential people like
Alcala and Calayag, he said.“Alcala and Calayag’s political role-playing is over.
Calayag’s list shows that all along the NFA and the DA know the identity of rice smugglers because they are
the ones who provided legal cover for them. Alcala and Calayag should now stop fooling the Filipino
people.”Marbella said the modus operandi of rice cartels and smugglers of using farmers’ cooperatives as
dummies is an open secret inside the NFA.“Obviously, this multimillion peso racket in the rice industry is
happening with the blessings of the President for his favorite cabinet secretary,” he said.The KMP furnished the
media with a document that the NFA had submitted to the House of Representatives during the budget
deliberations last year on the status of the importation of well-milled rice under the Country Specific Quota
(CSQ) of 163,000 metric tons for the year 2013 undertaken by the private sector and farmers
organizations.Signed by Calayag, the two-page document states: “As of Sept. 3, 2013, we (NFA) were able to
issue import permits (IP) to five entities out of 31 applicant importers.”On top of the list of those import permits
was Starcraft International Trading Corp. allegedly owned by Davidson Bangayan.
Also in the list were San Miguel MPC, Bold Bidder Marketing and General Mdse., Inter-Continental Grains
International Trading, Inc., and Kwin Rice Trading.The KMP said Bangayan was shown to be connected with
Starcraft during the Senate committee on agriculture’s hearing last Wednesday.“In the same hearing, Bold
Bidder Marketing was mentioned by a Customs official for acquiring an injunction order from a court in

7. Lemery, Batangas province even before the shipment ordered by the (Starcraft) company arrived,” KMP
said.The KMP said that “the farmers-as-importers program is nothing but a legal cover (for) rice cartels and
smugglers to corner the big bulk of rice importation.”“We demand that the DA and the NFA unmask the
dummy farmer cooperatives in Calayag’s list and the rice cartels and smugglers behind them,” Marbella
said.The KMP said the current rice trade liberalization policy implemented by the government has turned the
Philippines into a dumping ground of imported rice. – With Michael Punongbayan, Czeriza Valencia

Philippines Farmer Organizations Warn Public Over Quality of Rice Released by
Customs
Jan 24, 2014
Agricultural organizations in the Philippines represented by Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (Sinag) have
raised concerns over the quality of allegedly smuggled rice that may soon enter the market after the Bureau of
Customs released around 3.3 tons of rice recently following a court order.Sinag representatives say that the rice
(allegedly smuggled from Vietnam) was seized at least five months ago, and has been left in unsafe and
unsanitary container vans since then. They add that the quality and hygiene of the rice was not inspected before
releasing the rice and the rice may be unsafe for consumption.Sinag says that the Department of Agriculture
(DA) and the Department of Health (DH) should inspect the rice for food health and safety concerns before
offloading it into the market. Sinag says that the rice should be checked for possible food-borne hazards
including chemical contaminants like toxic and pesticide residues, heavy metals and infestation.The BOC has
seized at least 48,000 tons of rice worth about P725 million (around $32,951 million) since September 2013 due
to lack of import permits, according to the BOC deputy commissioner for intelligence.

500,000 tons higher than its December forecast.
Thailand
Thailand 5% broken rice quotes ended the week at $440 per ton, unchanged from the last week, but up about
$15 per ton from a month ago and down about $115 per ton from a year ago.
After months of criticism, Thailand’s National Rice Policy Committee has finally announced that it will not
extend the government rice mortgage program, according to the Thai Public Broadcasting Service. The
program will expire at the end of February and will not be renewed due to funding shortages. While this is
largely welcomed news in Thailand, where public funds for the program are depleted many farmers haven’t
received payments for their paddy in months, the global ramifications of this shift are unclear. With farmers
looking to offload their paddy on the open market, Thai rice exports could bounce back, giving the rest of Asia
a run for its money.
The Thai government sold 148,940 tons of rice through the Agricultural Futures Exchange of Thailand (AFET)
Wednesday, according to local sources.
The Election Commission approved the Commerce Ministry’s request to continue to sell rice from state
stockpiles through the AFET and the Commerce Ministry will now target to sell 200,000-400,000 tons in each
auction and is seeking further approval from the Commission to proceed with the government-to-government
deal with China. Farmers blocked the Indochina intersection in Phitsanulok’s Muang district on Thursday to
protest the money the government owes them under the rice pledging scheme. They seek payment (plus
interest) or their grains returned to them by the end of the month, threatening to join the People’s Democratic
Reform Committee in Bangkok and have threatened to withdraw support for candidates in the current
government coalition parties if their demands aren’t satisfied.In an effort to pay rice farmers some of the money
they are owed, the government is seeking approval from the Council of State to borrow 130 billion baht (about
$4 billion).
The National Anti-Corruption Committee will not charge caretaker Prime Minster Yingluck Shinawatra until
after the general election on February 2. Pending the results of a current investigation, she may face charges
that she was negligent in her duties or even corruption charges.
Amidst fears that political unrest will result in interest rate cuts, bond investors purchased 32.6 billion baht
($991 million) of three-year securities at 3.14% on January 17. The funds will be used to refinance Bank for
Agriculture debts, not to directly fund the country’s rice mortgage scheme.
Local sources say that if domestic unrest escalates the military is likely to step in, possibly reenacting the
military coup in 2006.
India
India 5% broken rice is today quoted about $410 per ton, unchanged from a week ago, but down about $5 per

10. ton from a month ago and down about $25 per ton from a year ago.
Although there has been speculation by a government report in India that the country may have to begin
importing rice by 2016-17, the latest data from the USDA projects that India will once again be the world’s
largest rice exporter in 2013-14, and India’s Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI) appears to
agree. Production is expected to decline about 1% in 2013-14 and its total rice exports are expected to decline
about 5%, but Indian rice exports are still expected to surpass Thai and Viet exports, thanks to firm demand for
Indian basmati rice in the Middle East, the U.S. and Europe and the demand for non-basmati rice in Africa and
Asia. This will be India’s third consecutive year as the top rice exporter since it lifted its ban on non-basmati
rice exports in late 2011.
The government of India estimates that it will need to procure about 61.4 million tons of food grains in order to
effectively implement the recent Food Law. These 61.4 million tons represent an increase of about 20% from
the five-year average and may translate to an additional 6-7 million tons of rice purchased by the
government. Local sources are skeptical that the increased rice procurement will affect this year since most of
the main crop has already been sold, but it may cause some increased purchases of future crops.
India’s Finance Ministry has excluded milled rice from the “agricultural produce” category, making it eligible
for a service tax of 12.36%. Unprocessed agricultural produce is excluded from the tax. With rice now subject
to this tax, we expect prices in India to increase, although rice under the public distribution system (PDS) will
remain unaffected since the Food Corporation of India (FCI) will absorb the additional costs.
As of January 24, there are about 1.526 hectares of rice planted under India’s Rabi (winter) rice crop, an
increase of about 42% from the same time last year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
West Bengal, in eastern India, is seeking help from private rice millers to procure paddy from farmers and pay
them. The government can delay payment to millers, something it cannot do with farmers; so the government
is essentially taking credit from millers. The hope is that this early procurement on the private market by millers
will strengthen prices and encourage farmers to reinvest in the boro season rice crop beginning at the end of
January. However, farmers have been selling rice below the minimum support price (MSP). There is additional
concern that farmers in West Bengal will sell their rice to the neighboring state of Bihar, where farmers are paid
a bonus of about Rs. 250 per quintal (about $40 per ton). The outcome may be a shift of funding pressure from
the government West Bengal to that of Bihar.
Vietnam
Vietnam 5% broken rice quotes today are shown about $405 per ton, unchanged from a week ago, but down
about $10 per ton from a month ago and up about $20 per ton from a year ago.
China’s Customs General Administration (CGA) says that China imported around 2.24 million tons of rice in
the calendar year 2013, down about 5% from around 2.36 million tons in 2012, estimated by China National
Grain and Oils Information Center (CNGOIC). According to the CGA, China also exported around 478,370

Cell # 92 321 369 2874
11. tons of rice in 2013. China’s rice imports declined in the second half of 2013. According to CGA data, China
imported around 927,500 tons in July – December 2013, compared to around 1.31 million tons of rice in
January – June 2013. China imported most of the rice from Vietnam in 2013 and Chinese importers cancelled
several contracts in July - August, 2013, due to higher rice prices in Vietnam, according to rice traders in
Vietnam.
Vietnam is not alone in seeking rice business from China. On Wednesday, a senior agricultural official for
China announced that the country is striving for self-sufficiency in grain production.
Pakistan
After representatives from REAP visited China to promote Pakistan rice, exporters are hopeful that exports to
China will increase to as much as one million tons in the financial year 2013-14. Pakistan exporters have
already struck deals to about $4 million worth of exports, and they are looking to increase them by 19-70% in
FY 2013-14.
Pakistan exported 1.41 million tons of rice July-December 2013, an increase of 9% from the same period in the
previous year, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
Pakistan 5% broken rice quotes ended the week at $395 per ton, down about $5 per ton from a week ago, and up
about $10 per ton from a month ago and down about $35 per ton from a year ago.

the total system. This “trigger” means that unless major lakes like Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan reach 54%
capacity by March 1, rice farmers won’t get any water. Currently, Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan are at
38%. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will consider LCRA’s request at its February
12 meeting, leaving rice farmers in limbo for a few more weeks.
Other Markets:
Cambodia 5% broken rice is today shown about $455 per ton, unchanged from a week ago, but down about
$10 per ton from a month ago. Cambodia, who has been making a big push lately to increase their exports, is
close to achieving its goal of one million tons of rice exported in 2015, according to the country’s Minister of
Commerce. The country exported about 379,000 tons of rice in 2013, an increase of about 84% from
2012. The Ministry of Agriculture reports that total production for 2013 reached 9.3 million tons.
Uruguay and Argentina 5% broken rice is today quoted about $630 per ton unchanged from a week and month
ago, but up about $20 per ton from a year ago.
According to the Iraq grain board acting director general, the country imported 1.3 million tons of rice in 2013,
about 90-95% of its annual rice consumption. Iraq issued a tender to purchase 15,000 tons of basmati rice from
India. Applications are due February 3.
The government of Ghana still refuses to lift its ban on rice import via borders as the Association of GhanaCote d’Ivoire Rice Importers and Sellers (GISA) once again implore the country to ease the prohibition, citing
possible starvation in Ghana as people cannot purchase the more affordable rice from Cote d’Ivoire and
government supplies may not reach the impoverished in time.
Nigeria is striving to increase rice production for the 2014 dry season crop to about 1.6 million tons by helping
farmers prepare for planting and improving market facilities for selling rice. This represents an increase of
about 45% from the 1.1 million tons produced the previous year. Dry season crop usually accounts for about
40-45% of total rice production in the country and Nigeria is trying to achieve self-sufficiency in rice by 2015.
The Philippines government will form an inter-agency team to help prevent rice smuggling into the
country. The Bureau of Customs estimates that the country loses about P7 billion (about $154 million) annually
due to rice smuggling and this new team with representatives from the Department of Justice, the Department of
Agriculture, the National Food Authority, and the Bureau of Customs will help curb those losses. Farmer
organizations in the Philippines have voiced concern over the quality of rice that was allegedly smuggled into
the country, claiming that it was stored in unsanitary conditions. The Finance department in the Philippines
revealed a list of the country’s top rice importers for 2013. Unsurprisingly, the National Food Authority (NFA)
was number one, importing rice valued at a total of P4.356 billion (about $96 million). Because it’s a
government entity, imports by the NFA are not taxed.

13. Producers in Italy are suffering from lower prices and decreased acreage. They blame a lack of price support,
environmental restrictions, and low trade barriers. As of January 21, 43% (about 616,000 tons) of Italy’s total
paddy rice has been sold to millers.
Bulog, the state-owned logistics board in Indonesia, will buy about 3.85 million tons of rice from Indonesian
farmers in 2013-14, an increase of about 6% from the previous year. Bulog is trying to procure enough rice to
increase its current stocks of about 2 million tons, which will last until September.
Paddy rice production in Spain for 2013 declined to about 867,700 tons. This is a decrease of about 3.5% from
the previous year, according to Eurostat, and is largely due to decreased yields.
The Italian Government has confirmed its commitment in supporting the national rice growing sector in Europe:
the goal is to cancel the possibility of unlimited zero-duty imports from Eba countries (Everything but Arms).
President of parliamentary commission on agriculture, Roberto Formigoni, wrote on January 23 to head of Ente
Risi Paolo Carrà, reiterating that it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture to promote European and
national rice production.
In the past two years European prices of Indica rice varieties have steadily declined and local sources blame
imports from Asia. A report issued on December 19 by Dg Agri, Management committee for the common
organization of agriculture market, dealing with rice, confirms the alarm about imports from Eba countries:
“55% of all Eba exports are potentially in competition with the local Indica rice production, which represents
approximately one third of the total Eu rice production".
According to European Union data, in 2012-2013 Eba countries exported to Europe 215,936 tons, and in 20132014, up to now, 84,942 tons, mostly milled and broken rice. In 2009-2010 the total amount was of 10,280 tons.
In the 2013-2014 crop year imported milled rice has been acquired by France (24.6%) followed by Germany
(24.2%), Belgium (18.9), the Netherlands (15.6%), Italy (6%), Spain (5.4%) and United Kingdom (5.2%).

15. Spain’s paddy rice production in 2013 has declined to around 867,700 tons, down about 3.5% from around
899,600 tons produced in 2012, according to Eurostat.The decline in Spain’s paddy rice production in 2013 is
mostly due to a decline in rice yield. According to Eurostat, the average rice yield in Spain stood at around 7.7
tons per hectare in 2013, down about 4% from around 8 tons per hectare in the previous year. The area under
rice cultivation in Spain stood at around 112,700 hectares in 2013, slightly down from around 112,800 hectares
in 2012.
Spain is the second largest rice producer in the EU and produces about 30% of around 2 million tons of rice
(basis milled) produced in the EU.

India West Bengal State Lacks Funds to Procure Paddy Rice; Bihar State Announces
Bonus on MSP of Paddy Rice
Jan 24, 2014
India’s eastern state of West Bengal is planning to use private rice millers to procure paddy rice from farmers
earlier than usual due to lack of funds with the government to procure paddy rice directly.Rice production in
West Bengal was estimated to fall to around 13 million tons this year due to adverse weather conditions, but the
state produced around 15.3 million tons. Meanwhile, government officials say that paddy rice procurement by
government agencies stands at around 88,058 tons, which is just about 7% of the targeted 1.3 million tons.
The government has also discontinued the Rs. 70 per quintal (about $11 per ton) bonus on paddy support price
in 2012 due to lack of funds.Higher production and lower procurement have led to decline in paddy rice prices.
Local sources say that farmers are forced to sell their paddy rice at around Rs. 1,280 per quintal (about $ 207
per ton) to private traders, which is down about 3% from the minimum government support price (MSP) of Rs.
1,310 per quintal (about $212 per ton). The West Bengal government says that early procurement of levy rice
by millers will strengthen paddy prices and encourage farmers to re-invest in the boro season rice crop which
begins in January-end.
However, local sources say that the move by the government is to appease farmers ahead of general elections in
April – May 2014. Moreover, there are concerns that rice prices may increase in the state if farmers sell their
paddy rice in the neighboring state of Bihar, where the state government has announced a bonus of Rs. 250 per
quintal (about $40 per ton).The West Bengal government usually procures levy rice from millers after March,
but wants to complete levy rice procurement before March this year. Under the levy rice policy, millers procure
rice from farmers at MSP and government buys the rice from millers later for its welfare programs.

16. Thailand Government Seeks State Council Approval for $4 Billion Loan to Pay Rice
Farmers
Jan 24, 2014
The Thailand government has sought the approval from the Council of State over borrowing 130 billion baht
(around $4 billion) to pay rice farmers under the rice mortgage program, according to local sources.Earlier this
week, the cabinet approved the government's public debt restructuring plan which allows the government to
borrow 143.24 billion baht (around $4.35 billion) to fund its rice mortgage program. However, the Finance
Ministry wants the Council's decision over government borrowing to avoid complications.
Local sources say that the government may be delaying seeking loans (and payments to farmers) because of the
limited options it has to borrow funds. Banks have refused to lend money for the rice mortgage program, citing
losses and unpopularity of the program. Earlier this year, the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural
Cooperatives (BAAC), which implements the rice mortgage program, rejected an offer to lend money to the
government, and yesterday that the Krung Thai Bank (KBT) Board of Directors hinted that lending money to
the government may be risky.The political crisis in Thailand has adversely affected rice farmers, with many
farmers still waiting for government payments for their pledged rice. Farmers have set deadline of January 25,
2014 for the government to clear payments, and farmer protests have already begun across the country today
over the delay in payments under the rice mortgage program.

jump and a fivefold increase since 2003.

deals still pending after the accord’s July 20 expiration.

case against Edward J. Snowden would be handled, but only if Mr. Snowden pleaded guilty first.

time, despite a steeper-than-expected fall in unemployment, a newspaper reported on Friday.
*A three-year study by the Pentagon has concluded that American intelligence agencies are “not yet organized
or fully equipped” to detect when foreign powers are developing nuclear weapons or ramping up their existing
arsenals, and calls for using some of the same techniques that the National Security Agency has developed
against terrorists.
