Russia is losing rice market outlets?
Managing Editor
Rice exports from Russia decreased by 67% in the current season. In JulyNovember 2015 Russia exported 35.4 KMT of rice compared with 102.7 KMT during the same period last year. It should be noted that in 2015 rice production was 5.8% higher than a year before.Reduction of purchases from Russia by the main importers of rice was the key reason for such developments. Thus, Turkmenistan reduced rice imports from Russia by nearly 30% during the mentioned period, while Turkey, being the largest importer of Russian rice,

Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter JAKARTA, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Indonesia is bolstering its rural flood defences to help farmers protect crops from monsoon waters and the La Nina weather pattern, its agriculture minister said on Wednesday.Indonesia is a top producer of cocoa, palm oil and coffee, as well as a major importer of rice and raw sugar. It has forecast that the La Nina weather pattern will strengthen from mid-2016.Any reduction in output of these crops could support global prices or lead to greater imports as domestic supplies dwindle in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. La Nina is a cooling of the tropical waters of the Pacific that is a counterpart to the El Nino weather event that is characterised by warmer waters.Indonesia is repairing irrigation systems and installing water pumps in areas likely to be worst hit, such as East Java, Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman told reporters, adding that rice planting was also being accelerated."La Nina (will) possibly occur in October," Sulaiman added. "We're preparing early in anticipation, just like last year when we made early preparations to face the drought." Sulaiman said discussions with state food procurement agency Bulog were underway over domestic rice buying but declined to comment on imports, adding that harvests may be delayed a little and that Bulog currently had stocks of 1.2 million tonnes.Rice imports are a contentious issue in the country where President Joko Widodo is faced with fast-rising food prices but is also pursuing self-sufficiency to protect farmers.Despite the self-sufficiency push, Indonesia expected to have imported 700,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam and Thailand by the end of 2015, a government official said last month.(Reporting by Bernadette Christina Munthe; Writing by Michael Taylor; Editing by Joseph Radford) http://www.trust.org/item/20160106060759-22lw0/
Gov't to Import Rice from Pakistan, India WEDNESDAY, 06 JANUARY, 2016 | 20:30 WIBTEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The government announced its plan to import rice from Pakistan and India after procuring rice from Vietnam last year.Trade Minister Thomas Trikasih Lembong said that the government had signed a memorandum of understanding with Pakistan without agreeing the amount, price and the shipment schedule yet.―We‘re currently looking at the legal and technical aspects, as well as the medium-quality rice stocks in Pakistan,‖ Thomas said at his office on Wednesday, January 6, 2016.Thomas added that talks with India were at the early stage, and no memorandum of understanding had been signed yet. Last year, India‘s rice export value reached US$3 billion.According to Thomas rice imports from Pakistan and India may be necessary to secure rice supplies and stabilize prices. Thomas revealed that President Joko Widodo during a cabinet plenary meeting held yesterday instructed the Trade Ministry and the Agriculture Ministry to maintain food commodity prices.Thomas said that the plan to import rice from the two countries would be necessary to anticipate a delayed harvest season as a result of El-Nino that occurred in the second semester of last year. In addition, the government would be faced with a threat posed by La-Nina.Thomas added that the 4|www.ricepluss.com , www.riceplusmagazine.blosgspot.com
Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter government was focusing on maintaining a low inflation rate.―The 3.3 percent inflation rate is a good momentum. Moreover, primary goods prices, such as those of premium rice, have been well maintained regionally,‖ he said.

The government is sounding out the possibility of importing rice from India and Pakistan amid low rice stocks following a prolonged dry season.―We are still negotiating imports with India and Pakistan,‖ said Trade Minister Thomas Lembong in Jakarta on Wednesday.The government, Thomas said, was still preparing a government-to-government Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on rice imports with the Pakistani government. The State Logistics Agency (Bulog) was studying the technical details of Pakistan‘s rice stocks, he went on. ―We are also proposing an MoU with India, as it has for years been the world‘s largest exporter of rice. They export between US$3 billion and $4 billion worth of white rice a year,‖ said Thomas. Earlier, Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution said that because of last 5|www.ricepluss.com , www.riceplusmagazine.blosgspot.com
Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter year‘s prolonged El Niño, the rice planting season had been put back from October to November. As a result, harvest time in several areas across Indonesia suffered delays, leading to depleted rice stocks in the first quarter of 2016."We have calculated that we still have only 1.35 million tons of rice in March. Normally, we have 1.5 million tons. To fulfill the shortage of rice, we‘re looking at signing MoUs with Myanmar and Pakistan,‖ Darmin told a press conference last week. He further explained that the agreements were a precaution measure to anticipate reduced rice stocks, which could in turn lead to surging prices of basic commodities. "The estimated domestic production of rice at the end of March this year will be 1.35 million tons […] From the end of March to April, our rice production will improve as the effects of El Niño gradually lessen," he said. http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/01/06/govt-import-rice-india-pakistan.html#sthash.wpMSTsOQ.dpuf
FAO: Vietnam's rice exports, prices increase 1/5/2016 - by World Grain Staff
HANOI, VIETNAM — Vietnam‘s 2015 summer/autumn rice production is estimated at a record level of 14.8 million tonnes and the winter crop output is anticipated to remain close to last year‘s high level, according to a Dec. 28 GIEWS Country Brief from the United Nation‘s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).Good yields help offset a marginal contraction in planted area. Overall, the 2015 aggregate rice production, including the winter/spring harvested earlier in the year, is set at 45.1 million tonnes, close to the 2014 record level. On average, the winter/spring paddy crop amounts to about 46% of the annual paddy production, while the remaining two seasons, summer/autumn and winter, account for 32% and 22%, respectively.Rice exports in 2015 are forecast at 8.3 million tonnes, 4% up from last year‘s high level, reflecting strong import demand from China and a recent large contract with Indonesia. The wholesale prices of rice, the main staple food, increased considerably in November, underpinned by large government-to-government deals with the Philippines and Indonesia. Overall, rice prices remained lower than their year-earlier levels following two consecutive years of bumper outputs.Vietnam‘s planting of the 2016, mostly irrigated, main winter/spring rice paddy crop started in mid-November in the south and continues until March in the north, Overall, favorable weather conditions and fewer incidences of floods since November allowed farmers to start planting early. According to official estimates from the General Statistics Office (GSO), as of mid-December, winter/spring rice in the south had been sown on 1.1 million hectares, some 4% above the area planted by the same time last year. Despite the fast pace in this season‘s paddy plantings so far, which is positive for the production outlook, there are some 6|www.ricepluss.com , www.riceplusmagazine.blosgspot.com
Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter concerns over low water levels in the Mekong River, following considerably reduced rains since early 2015, associated with the ongoing strong El Ni単o event in the upper basin countries, namely Cambodia and Laos. The low water levels for irrigation coupled with less alluvial deposits in the fields and intensified salinity intrusion, could have a negative impact on the yield potential of the winter/spring crop. Harvesting of the 2015 summer/autumn season crop was completed in October and that of the minor winter crop is nearing completion. Below-average rainfall from April to July over the Central Highlands, North Central and Central Coastal areas, and parts of the southern main ricegrowing Mekong River Delta, delayed planting of both crops. A more normal pattern of rains resumed from late July over the main rice producing areas, allowing the pace of paddy planting to pick up. The improved moisture conditions were also beneficial for yields. Official estimates put the 2015 aggregate (winter/spring and summer/autumn) maize crop at a record level of 5.3 million tonnes, up 2% from the 2014 bumper level. The year-on-year increase is the result of a record 2015 main winter/spring harvest. Some losses of the 2015 summer/autumn crops were caused by prolonged dry weather from April to July, particularly over parts of Central Highlands, North Central and Central Coastal areas. http://www.world-grain.com/articles/news_home/World_Grain_News/2016/01/FAO
Gov't Accelerates Planting Season to Anticipate La Nina WEDNESDAY, 06 JANUARY, 2016 | 16:00 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The government has decided to speed up rice planting season to anticipate the La Nina weather phenomenon that could causes more frequent rain. "The important thing now is to accelerate planting season because rain has begun to fall," said Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman on Wednesday, January 6, 2016.According to Amran, the decision was based on President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's instruction to accelerate the government's infrastructure project contracts' implementation. 7|www.ricepluss.com , www.riceplusmagazine.blosgspot.com
Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter Amran said that the Agriculture Ministry has signed several infrastructure project contracts worth Rp 30.46 trillion, equals to 15 percent of the State Budget.Amran continued that the government has taken flood prevention measures by normalizing irrigation canals and preparing water pumps in addition to building shallow water catchment wells for regions that are predicted to experience lesser rain.Based on the Agriculture Ministry records, West Java and East Java are two of the flood-prone provinces. "In Jombang we have anticipated flood with [installing] pumps and conduct primary and secondary normalization for irrigation," said Amran.

Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter A ‗neutral‘ year and a La Nina are equally likely for the second half of the New Year (2016), according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.La Nina is the alter ego of El Nino and could likely coincide with the annual Indian monsoon if it were to occur as predicted during the second half of this year. Equally likely
Models suggest that both a neutral year and La Niña are equally likely in the second half of 2016, with a repeat of El Nino the least likely outcome, the Australian Bureau said.Even a ‗neutral year‘ (neither El Nino nor La Niña) could likely ensure safe passage of the monsoon, which was a disaster in the year just past after being hit hard by one of the strongest El Nino events in the past 50 years.The monsoon ended up with a deficit of 14 per cent in 2015, the second consecutive drought year, and only the third such instance in the last 100 years. Peaks over La Nina is traditionally associated with a normal to above-normal Indian monsoon although there is no direct one-to-one relationship between the two.The Australian Bureau said based on 26 El Nino events since 1900, around 50 per cent have been followed by a neutral year, while 40 per cent have been followed by a La Nina.It added that available signs indicated the El Nino of 2015 may have peaked over. It quoted climate models to suggest that the 2015-16 event will decline during the coming months.Its impact on weather worldwide has been so entrenched that the winter that ensued has proved to be a warm one with adverse implications for the Rabi crop in the North-West. Dry winter It was among the driest the national capital has witnessed with not even one chill-inducing rainy day. It was also notable that December saw the least number of dense fog days in at least five years, leading to fewer flight and train disruptions.

But this year has been different, with weather-inducing western disturbances that bring crucial precipitation to North-West India and dense fog in the region, being less frequent. Those reporting in did not have the required amplitude to trigger the usual thundershowers over the Rabi landscape.

Govt aims to clear current 13m tonnes of stockpiled rice by mid-2017 The Nation January 6, 2016 1:00 am
The Commerce Ministry expects to clear the remaining 13 million tonnes of rice stockpiled in the government’s warehouses within the next 18 months. This will partially be achieved by the targeted sale of least 2 million tonnes of rice through governmentto-government (G2G) deals this year, mainly with China, the Philippines and Indonesia.The government this year will focus on strategies to clear its rice stocks and create sustainable growth for rice production and marketing, Chutima Bunyapraphasara, permanent secretary of the ministry, said yesterday."The government expects to sell the remaining 13 million tonnes of rice from the stockpiles within a year and a half, with at least 2 million tonnes being sold through G2G contracts this year," she said. This year, Thailand should be able to export at least 9 million tonnes of rice in total, against almost 10 million tonnes that were shipped in 2015, she added.To facilitate more exports, Chutima said the government was currently considering providing soft loans for rice exporters that penetrate new markets especially those in Africa - as they would face a high risk in diversifying sales to such areas. Meanwhile, the ministry anno-unced it was proceeding with four key working strategies this year: a plan to develop rice production and marketing under a 20-year strategy for the sector; driving export and service business growth; reform of the ministry's responsibilities as a trade facilitator; and adoption of technology and innovation in its work. She said that since trade was a key economic driver for the Kingdom, the ministry would focus on these four strategies to support sustainable long-term growth.

However, council chairman Nopporn Thepsithar said Thai shipments this year would not be as bright as the government expected because of many risk factors, mainly the economic slowdown in China and depreciation of the yuan, conflicts in many countries, and declining oil and crop prices.To drive export growth, he said the private sector should work closely with the government in supporting export expansion.He also called for the government to link trade strategies with the Kingdom's 20-year development plan, so that all government agencies and private enterprises could adopt the plan and work at the highest possible efficiency to achieve the goals. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Govt-aims-to-clear-current-13m-tonnes-of-stockpile30276181.html

Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter VIENTIANE, LAOS: The Lao government has an ambitious plan to increase the nationwide rice yield to 4.2 million tonnes to ensure adequate supply for domestic consumption and export.Rice crops are expected to be planted on more than one million hectares in 2016.The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said that the annual yield of rice is expected to be 4.2 tonnes per hectare.The ministry said that its 2016 target includes ensuring the availability of 2.1 million tonnes of rice for domestic consumption, one million tonnes for trading in the country and export, 640,000 tonnes for processing, 400,000 tonnes for reserve purposes, and 60,000 tonnes for seeding. The production of dry season rice is expected to cover about 120,000 hectares, an increase from 102,000 ha recorded last year.―To achieve the set targets, we have to determine the production areas for rainy and dry seasons across the country,‖ said Director General of the Planning and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Mr Xaypladeth Choulamany.All relevant sectors must monitor the rice production process and water supply closely in order to ensure effective rice production, he said.We must also repair existing irrigation systems that are damaged in order to ensure sufficient water for the rice, Mr Xaypladeth.The ministry estimates that the amount of rice needed for consumption and reserve purposes is around 2.5 million tonnes.

El Nino's Peak Has Weather Forecaster Warning of La Nina La Nina risks dry weather in parts of U.S., rain in Australia
Weather event may develop in aftermath of warm El Nino pattern
The El Nino that disrupted weather worldwide last year has peaked. Now forecasters are predicting what may be next for the world‘s climate.A number of El Nino-Southern Oscillation indicators suggest that the 2015-16 El Nino has peaked and weather models predict it will decline in coming months, Australia‘s Bureau of Meteorology said on its website on Tuesday. Conditions will return to neutral during the second quarter with a chance of La Nina in the second half of 2016, it said.La Nina is a cooling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, sometimes thought of as El Nino‘s opposite. The two are extreme phases of a naturally occurring cycle, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Based on the 26 El Nino events since 1900, about 50 percent have been followed by a neutral year with 40 percent by La Nina, according to Australia‘s weather bureau.―Neutral and La Nina are equally likely for the second half,‖ the bureau said.

Daily Global, Regional & Local Rice E-Newsletter repeat of El Nino is the least likely outcome, it said.The current El Nino is rated as one of the three strongest since 1950. The warming of the equatorial Pacific changes weather worldwide, bringing drought to parts of Asia while the southern U.S. can get more rain. Its effects helped palm oil cap its best year since 2010, while sugar posted its first annual gain in five years. Roiling Markets La Nina can also roil agricultural markets as it changes weather. A large part of the agricultural U.S. tends to dry out during La Nina events, while parts of Australia and Indonesia can be wetter than normal. Citigroup Inc. has said that a transition to a strong La Nina may present significant upside potential for grains price volatility.The previous La Nina began in 2010 and endured into 2012. Conditions typically last between 9 months and 12 months, while some episodes may persist for as long as two years, according to NOAA. Both La Nina and El Nino tend to peak during the Northern Hemisphere winter. Bloomberg

Thailand Suspends Rice Shipment to Iran over Saudi Crisis BANGKOK - Thailand has temporarily suspended a shipment of one million tons of rice to Iran as a reaction to the current diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Iran, officials said.Thai authorities will consult with their diplomatic outposts in both countries before making a decision in February on whether to continue selling rice to Iran, sources in the Thai Foreign Trade Department told Efe.Thailand, which this year regained its status as top rice exporter in Southeast Asia, plans to export over 9 million tons of rice in 2016, valued at $4.8 billion, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties with Iran after the execution of Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr in Riyadh on Saturday sparked attacks by enraged Iranian civilians on the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and on the consulate in Mashhad.The crisis has raised concerns among the international community, which has called for calm in both countries to stop escalating tensions that could affect peace negotiations for other countries in the region including Syria, Iraq and Yemen. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=2402976&CategoryId=12395
Thailand plans 2m more tonnes of G-to-G rice sales Jan 2016 at 08:19 3,681 NEWSPAPER SECTION: BUSINESS | WRITER: PHUSADEE ARUNMAS
The Thai government aims to sell over 2 million tonnes of rice this year on a government-togovernment (G-to-G) basis.But it admits a renewed attempt to sell rice to Iran may hit a snag because of escalating political conflict in the Middle East.Chutima Bunyapraphasara, Commerce Ministry permanent secretary, said the government has a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China for 1 million tonnes.Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn said on Dec 3 the government was expected to sign a deal soon to sell an additional 1 million tonnes of rice to China. Mrs Apiradi's announcement came after the ministry signed a deal to sell 1 million tonnes of rice to the China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation, a Chinese state-owned 14 | w w w . r i c e p l u s s . c o m , w w w . r i c e p l u s m a g a z i n e . b l o s g s p o t . c o m

The rice delivery amounts to 100,000 tonnes a month starting early this year.In addition, Thailand is in the process of delivering the remaining 100,000 tonnes of rice to China under an earlier deal for 1 million tonnes struck by the Yingluck Shinawatra government.Ms Chutima said additional interest was expected from Indonesia and the Philippines because of anticipated lower supply from drought conditions. The ministry set a target of 9 million tonnes of rice shipments this year, worth $4.78 billion. Last year, Thailand was projected to ship 10 million tonnes worth $5.1 billion.She said the national rice policy committee's meeting chaired by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha late last year endorsed a plan to sell the government's rice stocks on credit.The commerce and finance ministries were tasked with jointly considering the credit line for potential buyers, particularly for purchases bound for new markets.The Commerce Ministry reported in late 2015 that since the May 2014 military coup, a combined 8.27 million tonnes had been sold from 18.7 million left over from various rice schemes, fetching 103 billion baht. It sold 4.87 million tonnes via auction, earning 52.6 billion baht, while G-to-G sales tallied 3.4 million tonnes worth 50 billion baht. Of the rest, 12 million tonnes were categorised as Grade P, which passed ministry certification and is a mix of Grades A and B, or in slightly poor condition and in need of sorting for improvement. Some 6 million tonnes were rated substandard. Bangkok Post

However, council chairman Nopporn Thepsithar said Thai shipments this year would not be as bright as the government expected because of many risk factors, mainly the economic slowdown in China and depreciation of the yuan, conflicts in many countries, and declining oil and crop prices.To drive export growth, he said the private sector should work closely with the government in supporting export expansion.He also called for the government to link trade strategies with the Kingdom's 20-year development plan, so that all government agencies and private enterprises could adopt the plan and work at the highest possible efficiency to achieve the goals. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Govt-aims-to-clear-current-13m-tonnes-of-stockpile30276181.html
AV-1011, Anthraquinone-Based Bird Repellent, Receives EPA Registration for Rice By Steve Hensley WASHINGTON, DC -- This week, in a positive development for the U.S. rice industry, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that some underlying issues with the bird repellent Anthraquinone have been resolved, clearing the way for the agency to issue a two-year Section 3 registration for use on rice. This conditional Section 3 registration will allow the product manufacturer to produce one further toxicology study. Assuming the study shows no health or other issues, a full registration could then be issued. For now, there is no need for the states to file Section 18 emergency exemption applications with EPA. (Section 3 is a full Federal registration of a pesticide while a Section 18 exemption authorizes EPA to allow 16 | w w w . r i c e p l u s s . c o m , w w w . r i c e p l u s m a g a z i n e . b l o s g s p o t . c o m

AV-1011 is ready for use under its new two-year Federal label, however, the manufacturer must still proceed to acquire state registrations.Anthraquinone, a naturally occurring chemical found in many species of plants has been found to meet the requirements for an effective bird repellent as a seed treatment on a variety of crops including sunflowers, trees, and rice.USA Rice has helped states, manufacturers, and members acquire both Section 3 and Section 18 status for a number of products over the last several years, and is working toward an unconditional Section 3 registration for this important product.

Rice Comment Rice futures turned lower in today's trade, but traded within Tuesday's trading range. March charted a bullish key reversal yesterday, and is potentially working on charting a bull flag, which would suggest the potential of adding an additional 70 cents to the market from the breakout point if the chart pattern holds. There is also a chart gap between $12.31 and $12.41 that could be an upside target for bulls. The market is finding support from tightening world stocks and concerns about the current El Nino weather pattern impacting production. http://www.arfb.com/ag-markets-statistics/report/
