NFA to carry out aggressive palay procurement June 23, 2015 Pilar mabaquiao SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) - - While the the farmers are on planting season, the National Food Authority is readying its warehouses and dryers for aggressive palay procurement come harvest time. Provincial Manager Marianito Benjemino said NFA Antique will double its efforts in palay procurement to ensure that the rice buffer stock of the province will remain sufficient especially during lean months.He said NFA will establish palay buying stations in rice producing municipalities and continue with mobile procurement to reach out to more farmers aside from the regular procurement at NFA warehouses in the towns of San Jose and Culasi. He also assured the farmers that requirements to avail of the farmer’s passbook has been simplified and payment of their palay will be on cash basis either during the mobile procurement or at designated buying stations.Antique, Bejemino said has two big warehouses in San Jose and Culasi that could accommodate 100,000 bags of rice once procurement will go on full swing.“We are also ready to rent warehouse of any Irrigators / Farmers Association or private individual once the supply exceeds the capacity of our warehouse. We have done this is the previous years,” he said. Bejemino also mentioned the mechanical dryers with bigger capacity stationed at the warehouses to dry the palay during rainy months while drying pavements are ready when sunlight is available.He encouraged farmers to sell their palay to NFA because during the lean months farmers have the option to buy back and mill for their consumption or sell to other markets for a much higher price. This is contained in the NFA’s FOBB or Farmers Option to Buy Back program.Meanwhile, Bejemino assured the Antiquenos that NFA rice is sufficient and available in 56 accredited outlets provincewide.

Raskin program needs serious overhaul: Jokowi Satria Sambijantoro, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Tue, June 23 2015, 9:02 AM
2
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has instructed his ministers to thoroughly evaluate the subsidized rice-for-the-poor (raskin) program after he claimed to have found serious problems with it.Recounting his experience during field visits, the President claimed to have found that some of the rice was inedible. Some of the rice is sold two or three years after its expiration date, with some of it having turned murky and even containing fungus by the time it was received by the poor, Jokowi noted.“The raskin is an integral part of our people’s social protection program,”

the President told his ministers as he opened a limited Cabinet meeting on the issue on Monday. “I want the rice to be distributed in really, really good quality. ” Raskin, formerly known as a special market operation (OPK), is a cross-sector national program that has been implemented every year since 1998.The program was introduced to improve the poor’s access to rice, the main staple food of Indonesia’s 250 million people, with its distribution involving the State Logistics Agency (Bulog) and other ministries.From 2005 to 2009, the government distributed between 1.6 and 3.2 million tons of rice every year under the raskin program, with its price set at Rp 1,000 (7 US cents) to Rp 1,600 per kilogram, according to Bulog data.During the meeting at the State Palace, Jokowi also called for an overhaul in the distribution of raskin, as some of the cheap rice apparently failed to reach the targeted poor households.“Our findings show that the raskin recipient list includes affluent households.
[The raskin recipient data] needs to be verified and re-evaluated,” said the President.Commenting on the issue, Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa said Monday that her ministry would reassess the quality of the raskin program, as well as the data on recipients. Based on the ministry’s findings, the poor quality raskin — expired rice that had turned murky and contained fungus — was found in rice warehouses in Java, while that distributed outside the island was usually of good quality, she said.“Java is the hub of rice production, and so much of the rice there was stockpiled for a very long time instead of being distributed in a timely manner. So we need to address this issue in the warehouses in Java by ensuring that they comply to the first-in-first out rice distribution policy,” Khofifah told reporters. Another issue in the raskin program was the fact that local regional leaders failed to distribute the rice on time to the targeted households, said Coordinating Economic Minister Sofyan Djalil.The government will coordinate with local leaders to resolve the issue and ease distribution of rice for the poor as demanded by the President, Sofyan said. Jokowi has won local support for his firm stance against imports of crucial food commodities, but his anti-import policy has been blamed for the recent acceleration in inflation, notably food inflation, with rice prices soaring by more than 30 percent year-on-year only several months after he took office.
3
In February, Jokowi directly spearheaded the market operation to stabilize rice prices at Bulog rice warehouses in Jakarta, where the government began distributing raskin at Rp 1,600 per kilogram to stabilize rice prices, which at that time rose to as high as Rp 12,000 per kilogram. At that time, some of the supposedly high-quality rice sold in the market was found to have been mixed with low-quality raskin. Earlier this month, Jokowi fired then Bulog chairwoman Lenny Sugihat as the agency was deemed unsuccessful in the absorption of rice stocks and the distribution of raskin.

No cash compensation for Thai farmers in delaying rice cultivation
BY EDITORON 2015-06-23THAILAND
BANGKOK: — Farmers who were asked to put off their rice cultivation this year will not get cash compensation but will be assisted by the government in the form of farming cost and promotion to cultivate other low water use plants.

Deputy prime minister MR Pridiyathorn Devakula said he would propose the cabinet tomorrow to assist farmers in farming cost instead of the 1,000 baht per rai as cash compensation, as well as in promoting them to grow low water use plants.This would not cost the government much in term of budgets as the government still have budget inn the emergency fund to support this scheme, he said.Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Pitipong Phuengboon na Ayudhaya said latest aerial survey by the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency showed rice cultivation areas rise to 4 million rai from 3.4 million rai after the government issued announcement urging farmers to delay rice cultivation. He said the increase in cultivation areas by 600,000 rai carries high risk of total damage due to water shortage from drought.He warned farmers not to cultivate the remaining over two million

rai otherwise they will face total damage from drought.He also said he would propose the cabinet to promote farmers to cultivate other crops that use low water, and also to suspend interest collection temporarily until new crops produces yields and generate revenues for farmers.

Ministry of Commerce denies rumors of bad rice to be sold in markets Tuesday, 23 June 2015By NNT
BANGKOK, 22 June 2015 - The Ministry of Commerce has denied rumors that it will sell low quality rice for domestic consumption.Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) Director General Duangporn Rodphaya responded to rumors that the government was considering supplying low quality grains to the animal feed industry and ethanol manufacturers. She said the government will only release good quality rice for human and animal consumption.The DITP Director General added that only low quality grains will be sold to industries that do not produce human or animal food.The amount of rice released will also be determined by the rice supply expected to be produced during the rainy season. The Ministry of Commerce has assured rice farmers that the release of government stock will not affect the market price. http://www.pattayamail.com/business/ministry-of-commerce-denies-rumors-of-bad-rice-to-be-sold-in-markets48276#sthash.Iub8LdTA.dpuf
Europe rice standards still a challenge for millers By Ko Ko Aung,Htin Linn Aung | Tuesday, 23 June 2015 Myanmar has duty-free access to the European Union for nearly all its exports. This has been a particular boon to garments, but has also opened the door to the rice trade. Only Cambodia and Myanmar enjoy this duty free access among regional rice exporters. Although this market access gives local production a leg up, it is still tough to gain European buyers, as the domestic industry has trouble meeting its high standards.“For the time being, Myanmar has been exporting broken rice to the European Union,” said Damien Plan, an official with the European Commission’s Agriculture and Rural Development directorate-general. Europe is assisting Myanmar develop its rice sector. In the future, ideally it will be exporting more fragrant rice, such as jasmine rice, to Europe.“We want quality rice from Myanmar,” said Mr Plan.Rice exports have been growing significantly in recent years, and along with beans and pulses are a major national export.

About 70 percent of rice exports go to China, with most of the rest going to African markets and the Middle East.In May, the EU’s committee for the common organisation of agricultural markets said 144,552 tonnes of rice were shipped from Myanmar to the EU in September to April period in 2014-15, compared 79,942 tonnes a year earlier.More exports to Europe will require improvements to domestic infrastructure. A World Bank report last year highlighted the

need for Myanmar to improve the quality of its rice production by expanding and upgrading domestic mills.Exports have been rising rapidly since 2011, particularly due to a rapid increase in Chinese demand. Europe Union also extended its everything-but-arms duty-free access to Myanmar in 2013, backdating it to 2012. Different statistics exist for rice exports. Myanmar’s statistics show exports will reach 2 million tonnes this fiscal year, though other assessments are about half as high. Still, the trend toward increase exports is evident.Myanmar Rice Federation secretary general U Ye Min Aung said rice still lacks quality compared with some neighbouring countries.“We need to think about quantity and quality to promote exports. But quantity is tough to increase, so we should look at improving quality and exporting Europe to receive a good price,” he said. Experts say that while the aspirations exist to improve the quality of exports, there are serious practical challenges. Rice mills urgently need upgrades, quality checks must be improved and greater understanding of what constitutes international-quality rice is essential.“If there is market interest, we will grow fragrant rice and export it to Europe,” said U Myo Aung Kyaw, vice chair of the Myanmar Rice Federation.Figures from the Ministry of Commerce put rice exports at more than 1.7 million tonnes for the 2014-15 fiscal year, worth a total of $645 million. http://www.mmtimes.com/index.php/business/15176-europe-rice-standards-still-a-challenge-formillers.html
FPCCI for forming rice board June 23, 2015
LAHORE - Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI), in a letter to Federal Commerce Minister Engr.

average was stuck-up at around $ 2 billion per annum mainly due to the lack of knowledge about latest research & development in the field of new rice varieties that yield more at lower cost and are acceptable to the global market. He disclosed, “Our competitors have come up with such products due to market oriented or demand driven research in consultation with all the stakeholders (rice growers, millers, exporters, traders etc.) on one platform, whereas, on the contrary, our research has been exclusive and in isolation, either in public or private sectors� http://nation.com.pk/business/23-Jun-2015/fpcci-for-forming-rice-board

Sowing gathers pace as monsoon delivers ample rainfall By Reuters | 22 Jun, 2015, 05.57PM IST

HIVRA: Better-than-expected monsoon rains in the past two weeks have helped farmers in several parts of India sow cotton, pulses and oilseeds on time, but the country's weather office is still sticking to its forecast of a likely drought. Although a delayed arrival of the monsoon had worried farmers, more than twothirds of the country has now received normal or above-normal levels of rainfall so far this monsoon season, which starts on June 1. Overall, rainfall was 16 per cent above normal as of Monday, helping fill up some reservoirs in a country where over half the farmland lacks irrigation systems. "We were worried since everyone was talking about a drought," said Shivaji Pophale, busy planting cotton in his three-acre plot in the village of Hivra. "Fortunately we have got enough rains to start sowing." But Pophale is not celebrating yet, as the June-September rainy season has only started and things could change quickly. Agriculture accounts for just about 15 per cent of India's $2 trillion economy, but three-fifths of its 1.25 billion people depend on it for their livelihood. Officials at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) say the northern states will receive heavier monsoon rains this week but that current weather patterns still point to total rains of just 88 per cent of the long-term average, as predicted in early June, due to an El Nino weather pattern. India received a similar level of rains last year but the government did not declare a drought as the monsoon picked up in the latter part of the season, underscoring its highly unpredictable nature, which keeps farmers on edge. Skymet has rejected the IMD's prediction for 2015 and has forecast bountiful rains. The recent downpour has helped rice farmers accelerate preparations for planting, which will lead to a greater area of rice cultivation this year, said B V Krishna Rao, managing director at Pattabhi Agro Foods, India's top non-basmati rice exporter. Soybean cultivation has also been proceeding at full speed in key producing states Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, which could drive up national output by 10 percent to over 10 million tonnes this year, said Pravin Lunkad, president of industry body the Solvent Extractors' Association of India. Reflecting the sowing progress, soybean, cotton and chickpea futures inched down on Monday. Higher output of soybean and pulses is good news for India, which spends billions of dollars importing the pulses and edible oil widely used in the country's cooking 10

New USA Rice Research Shows Rice Messages Will Resonate with Consumers "Yes sir, of course the rice is U.S.-grown!" ARLINGTON, VA -- New USA Rice consumer research into attitudes towards rice, sustainability, and eating local indicate that rice's ability to address all of these growing trends position the grain well.When asked how important it is that the food they eat in restaurants be prepared with ingredients grown in the United States, 81 percent say "somewhat" or "very." But ask them if they'd be willing to pay more for it and only 54 percent say they probably or definitely would, and 12 percent say they definitely would not."We also asked respondents which they would choose as a side dish between rice, pasta, and potatoes," said Michael Klein, USA Rice's vice president of communications. "It was no surprise that potatoes won with 50 percent, but then we asked if they knew the rice was grown in the United States, would that make a difference?" Klein thinks the 32 percent who said they would change their minds as a result is encouraging. "We won't dethrone potatoes as the king of the side with that, but we make good inroads - and it shows our good story is worth telling. Consumers care about these things."The research also showed strong support for groceries that are grown sustainably (78 percent), although consumers reacted even more strongly when the word "sustainable" was replaced with "environmentally responsible" (84 percent).Klein said more details of the study will be shared in the upcoming issue of the Whole Grain, due out in July, and that USA Rice would continue to track these attitudes now that they had established a benchmark.
