January 19, 2015 Volume 5, Issue I
The ongoing blockade which started from
January 6 last has affected the operation of
nearly 80 per cent of rice mills during the
peak Aman season.Meanwhile, the city
traders said the prices of rice have already
recorded some rise and the trend will
continue because of their depleting stocks.
The price of Swarna, the widely grown rice
variety in Aman season is being traded at Tk
35-36 per kg while Miniket at Tk 48-52 per
kg, Paijam at Tk 38-40 (new) and Tk 44-46
(old) per kg, Najirshail at Tk 56-57, Brri
dhan-28 at Tk 42-44 per kg, Brridhan 29 at
Tk 40-42 per kg in the city's kitchen markets
for the last two weeks.Supply of rice from
the big milling hubs including Dinajpur,
Rangpur, Kushtia, Joypurhat, Naogaon and
Pabna has declined by 80 per cent for ten
days, Md Abdul Wahed, a rice trader at
Kochukhet Bazar said."I need supply of 18
tonnes of rice per week.
The last truck entered my godown
Kochukhet Bazar on January 4," he
said.Traders at Maulovibazar, Chhoto Katra,
Nowabganj Bazar and Mohammadpur
Krishi market also had the same views that
of Mr Wahed.
They said their stock will be exhausted in a
few days which may cause increase in
price.Secretary of Bangladesh Auto Major
and Husking Mills Owners' Association, the
biggest platform of the country's rice
millers, KM Layek Ali, said that the sector
is incurring at least Tk 1.0 billion loss per
day due to the suspension of operation of 80
per cent mills.Nearly 7.0 million workers do
not have any work to do.He said 80 per cent
out of 20000 mills across the country have
stopped their operation which will have a
serious impact on market as price of the
staple may hike significantly.
He said in peak seasons like Boro and
Aman, millers husk nearly 60000 tonnes per
day (for three months) which has been
reduced to just 15000 tonnes as orders from
Dhaka, Chittagong and elsewhere in the
country are being cancelled fearing
vandalism in highways.Mr Layek said
nearly 550-600 trucks laden with 10000
tonnes of rice move to big cities per day
from north-western region.
The number has been reduced to now just
80-100, he said.Shahidur Rahman Patwary
Mohan, executive member of BAMHMOA
said truck owners are not willing to ply their
vehicles and the owners who are taking risk
is charging double fare."Truck fare from
Dinajpur has gone up to Tk 24000-25000
which was Tk13500-14000 in pre-blockade
period," he said.He said apart from the 22
million farmers, nearly 7.0 million people
are directly involved in rice milling and
another 4.0 million are indirectly depend on
it.
He said the mill owners and the workers are
passing a tough time due to the
blockade.Most of the mills depend on bank
loans and count interest of 17-19 per cent
which is adjusted in three months' basis.He
said, "Most of the millers will not be able to
pay back the loan in 45 days which will put
them in difficulties to get loans in future.
"However, transport owners are in great fear
to run their vehicles on highways during the
ongoing blockade despite the government's
assurance of providing enough security and
compensation.Truck, bus and covered van
owners said they were not getting enough
confidence to run their vehicles because of
growing attacks on transports like buses,
trucks, pickups and covered vans on the
country's highways.Official data showed
that a total of 230 vehicles were torched
since January 4 to January 15 by the pickets
all over the country. The number included
115 buses, 65 trucks, 65 covered vans and
cargoes, 15 pickups and 8 cars.

Ensuring survival of jute
mills
The closure of as many as 25 jute mills, as a
sequel to sluggish jute export to the world
market and plummeting demand for jute bags
across the globe, is an unpropitious
development. It makes a sad commentary on the
state of affairs involving jute, once called the
golden fibre of Bangladesh. On its part, the
government had framed the mandatory jute
packaging law 2010 in a bid to cushion the
export-dependent industry against vagaries of
international trade.
Under the provisions of that piece of law, jute
sacks should have been used mandatorily to
pack food grains and other items. Even all rice
millers and traders could be instructed to clear
their stock of plastic bags. But private sector
businesses still remain non-compliant -- citing
higher costs of jute sacks than poly-propylene or
plastic bags.Furthermore, no effective step has
yet been taken to help diversify uses of jute
although the International Jute Study Group
(IJSG), headquartered in Dhaka, has a good deal
of expertise in this regard.
The IJSG could help its member-countries
including Bangladesh diversify the uses of jute
by transferring low-cost technology. Without
diversification of products and implementation
of the mandatory use of jute bags locally, the
country's jute mills would turn sick in the near
future. It is time to enforce effectively the
provisions of the Jute Packaging Act to create
domestic demand for jute products. What is the
import of the law if it is not implemented even
after five years? It is relevant to note that India,
Bangladesh's next-door neighbour, enforced its
law about domestic uses of jute goods in 1987
but that is still to be done so in this
country.Diversification of uses of jute can help
restore the glory that it once enjoyed so
enviably.
In neighbouring India, a United Nations
Development Programme-supported project
(UNDP) has facilitated diversification of jute
sector by developing new technology, promoting
employment opportunities by encouraging new
entrepreneurs to set up production units and
developing indigenous machine manufacturing
sector. Some of the on-going projects there are
aimed at facilitating uses of jute for production
of paper, needle-punched carpets as well as
development of multi-component yarn from
wool, natural and other fibres for floor
coverings, blankets and knitwear.More than
400,000 people from farmers to exporters' level
are involved in Bangladesh's jute sector. A total
of 145 jute mills are operating under the BJMA
and 26 under Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation
(BJMC), representing private and public sector
production units respectively.
Major government-owned jute enterprises in the
jute sector under the BJMC need to analyse
more closely the cost of production and its
impacts on the viability of the private sector.
The private sector mills do also need to be
encouraged pro-actively to be innovative. At the
same time, this has to be kept in mind that
efficiency of men and machine makes or breaks
the industry. Therefore the situation needs to be
closely reviewed at that level. The sector has to
look at means to achieving greater efficiency if
it is to survive. Also the fact remains
incontestable that in this situation, the
government should implement the mandatory
jute packaging law immediately. In the future
Bangladesh's jute goods would largely have to
be marketed locally.

Rice board head: Cuban
trade could be big for
Louisiana
By - Associated Press - Sunday, January 18, 2015
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - Lifting the U.S.
trade embargo against Cuba could mean the
return of a major market for Louisiana rice,
Louisiana Rice Promotion Board chairman
Kevin Berken says.He said Cuba imports
about 600,000 metric tons of rice a year,
with Vietnam as its biggest supplier.―Prior
to the embargo, Cuba was the largest
importer of Louisiana rice,‖ he told a
conference Friday at the Petroleum Club.
―So it is critically important for us to be
able open trade with other countries, Cuba
being the main focus. It has been a focus for
the last 20 or 30 years.‖Berken was among
four panelists, The Advertiser
(http://bit.ly/1GfwpKt ) reported. It
happened to be a day after the government
announced President Barack Obama‘s
amendments to existing Cuban
sanctions.Only Congress can fully end the
54-year embargo.―Eventually, the embargo
will be lifted, and there isn‘t a thing in the
world that Cuba doesn‘t need,‖ said Gary
LaGrange, president and CEO of the Port of
New Orleans. Its location 700 miles from
Louisiana‘s coast makes New Orleans an
especially convenient port, he said.

Commerce Minister visits
Hong Kong for cooperation
Date : 18 มกราคม 2558
HONG KONG, 18 January 2015 (NNT) – The
Thai Minster of Commerce is on a business trip
visiting Hong Kong to enhance the trade
cooperation and push forward the ASEAN -
Hong Kong FTA framework to be completed by
2016. The Minster of Commerce Gen. Chatchai
Sarikulya has revealed his official meeting with
the Secretary for Commerce and Economic
Development of Hong Kong Gregory So, that he
is satisfied with the meeting‘s outcome.
He has said that both sides have agreed to extend
the trade cooperation and exchanged beneficial
comments for trade developments in the future,
especially for the ASEAN - Hong Kong Free
Trade Area (FTA) agreement, which Thailand is
appointed as the coordinating country to push
the FTA framework forward towards the
targeted time in the year 2016.
The ASEAN - Hong Kong FTA will benefit
ASEAN countries in the inclusion of utilizing
the trade gateway of Hong Kong to mainland
China free of tax, while Hong Kong can extend
its trade and investment to the ASEAN market
that houses 600 million residents. The Thai
Minister has said that the Ministry of Commerce
has settled the strategies and plans to extend the
Thai rice exports to the Hong Kong market
through various strains of rice to comply with
the individual demands in Hong Kong.
For example, the Hom Mali Rice is aimed for
the domestic consumption market through
modern trade, and the Hom Patum Rice is aimed
for restaurants and hotels market, while the
organic rice will be introduced to the younger
generations. In this occasion, the Minster of
Commerce has given the Best Friend of Thai
Rice Award to the seven Hong Kong rice
importers that have imported Thai rice in the
past ten years. He has also stressed that the Thai
government is aware of the Hong Kong market's
importance to Thai rice, and will control the
quality of rice exports to be high in accordance
with demand of consumers in Hong Kong.

Million-Ton Rice Export
Goal Remains Elusive
BY GEORGE STYLLIS | JANUARY 19, 2015
This was meant to be a milestone year for
Cambodia‘s rice industry, with the
government aiming to export 1 million tons
of the country‘s staple crop by the end of
2015.But with milled rice exports reaching
just 387,061 tons in 2014, up a mere 2.2
percent from 378,856 tons in 2013,
according the Agriculture Ministry, the
government has revised down its
expectations for this year. And industry
experts say major hurdles remain if the
country is to hit the ambitious export target
in the years to come.
Hean Vanhan, deputy director-general in the
Agriculture Ministry‘s general directorate of
agriculture, estimated that Cambodia would
export about 600,000 tons of milled rice in
2015, depending on how successful the
government and private sector are at tapping
into new foreign markets.―We are still in the
middle of big rice exporters in the region.
We‘ve just started [exporting] so it‘s not a
bad result,‖ Mr. Vanhan said Sunday.―We
need to find more markets and for
consumers to recognize Cambodian rice,‖ he
added.In 2010, the government created a
new rice policy with the goal of increasing
paddy production, encouraging domestic
milling and ultimately raising exports, all in
a bid to boost the country‘s rural economy.
According to an October economic update
from the World Bank, significant gains were
made in the ensuing years.―[Cambodia‘s]
modern rice milling capacity (i.e. the larger
mills) increased sevenfold, from 96 tons per
hour (tph)…in 2009 to over 700 tph in late
2013,‖ the report says.It adds that paddy
production more than doubled from 2003 to
2013, from 4.3 million tons to 9.3 tons, and
notes that Cambodia‘s jasmine rice has been
repeatedly named the world‘s best rice by
the World Rice Conference.
Another industry development came in May,
when the country‘s myriad miller and
exporter associations united to form the
Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF), electing
Sok Puthyvuth, the son of Deputy Prime
Minister Sok An and CEO of local
conglomerate Soma Group, as its
president.Upon being elected, Mr.
Puthyvuth said the two greatest obstacles to
increasing exports were a lack of available
funds and the quality of crops.Nearly eight
months later, Mr. Puthyvuth said this year‘s
focus would be on improving seed quality,
financing, transportation, market access and
branding of Cambodian rice.
―[It] has been about 7 months now since the
federation started, and it‘s been challenging
trying to fulfill our members expectation and
overcoming our current internal and external
challenges,‖ Mr. Puthyvuth said in an email
last week.The biggest blow to exports last
year, he said, was due to the competition
from Cambodia‘s neighbors.―Given that
Myanmar [is] coming into the picture, and
Thailand still [has] a lot of surplus.
Cambodia will need to work very hard this
year to improve our competitiveness,‖ he
said.
From January to March, year-on-year
exports plummeted 11 percent, from 95,228
tons in 2013 to 84,330 tons last year, due
mainly to Thailand offloading its vast rice
stocks to international buyers following the
crash of its state subsidy plan.And
Thailand‘s rush to sell is showing no signs
of slowing.According to the Thai Rice
Exporters Association, Thailand exported
9.49 million tons last year, compared to 6.61
million tons in 2013, a figure expected to
remain steady this year.And since Burma
entered a duty-free trade program with the
European Union in 2013—similar to the one
that boosted Cambodia‘s exports beginning
in 2010—the country has emerged as a
major rice exporter.
Srey Chanthy, an independent economist
who focuses on agriculture, said last week
that the fallout from Thailand‘s failed
subsidy program would continue to drag
down Cambodia‘s exports. And with fierce
competition from India, Pakistan and
Burma, he said, the 1-million-ton target
remains a long way off.―Cambodia cannot
compete and I don‘t think it‘ll achieve the
million ton target because it is far beyond
[our reach],‖ Mr. Chanthy said.Darren
Cooper, a senior economist at the London-
based International Grains Council, said the
CRF has been integral to giving the industry
a ―credible platform,‖ adding that Cambodia
needed to find new markets for its rice if it
hopes to increase official export figures.
―Most international forecasters would
probably say that shipments are already at
that [1-million-ton] level when one takes
into account unofficial or border trade for
instance,‖ Mr. Cooper said in an email
earlier this month.―In the longer term, the
emphasis will be on further expanding the
geographic diversity of the country‘s exports
if they are to move significantly higher,‖ he
said.In August, Cambodia made a
significant step toward upping its exports
when it signed a breakthrough deal with
China to export 100,000 tons by April.
The government inked a separate 30,000-ton
deal with China later last year.But
Cambodia still lacks the transport
infrastructure, facilities and capital to
guarantee the supply necessary for major
trade deals, David Van, executive director of
rice miller and exporter Boost Riche
Cambodia, said last week.Mr. Van said the
country also needs far more high-quality
seeds than it currently receives in order to
produce bigger and better paddy yields. Due
to a lack of funds available to farmers and
restrictive seed-import conditions set by the
government, the quantity of available seeds
is ―a far cry‖ from what is needed, he said.
―You need a license to import seeds. But it‘s
not easy to get a license because it takes
about six months and you have to submit
seed samples and wait for the Ministry of
Agriculture to plant and test them,‖ he
said.Another hindrance to official exports is
the informal cross-border trade in paddy,
Mr. Van added.―Millers don‘t have easy
access to loans to buy and store rice and
farmers have to sell the paddy to pay back
their loans,‖ he said. ―So if the millers don‘t
have sufficient access to capital, its natural
the paddy leaks out to Vietnam.‖The World
Bank‘s October report also notes that high
fuel and electricity costs in Cambodia make
milling 30 percent more expensive than in
Vietnam and Thailand.
―In theory, the existing milling capacity
could process almost the entire paddy
surplus in Cambodia,‖ the report says.An
area in which Cambodia has made
particularly slow progress is in forming
institutions to certify and test crops before
shipment.According to a report released last
week by the Geneva-based International
Trade Center, this was an impediment to
trade for 89 percent of agriculture exporters
in the country last year.―Few agencies in
Cambodia are capable of testing and
certification of products for export,‖ the
report says.
Despite a mountainous task ahead, Yaing
Saing Koma, president of the Cambodian
Center for Study and Development in
Agriculture, a local NGO, said on Friday
that he believed the government could hit its
1-million-ton target by 2017.―This year, the
government may make energy costs go
down, which will also help the profitability,‖
he said.―And if there are more government-
to-government deals, especially with China,
we‘ll be able to export more.‖

Cuban trade holds many
benefits for Louisiana Jessica Goff7:29 p.m. CST January 17, 2015
Louisiana is ready to regain a major industry
it lost 50 years ago when the United States
placed an embargo on Cuba. ―Prior to the
embargo, Cuba was the largest importer of
Louisiana rice,‖ said Kevin M. Berken,
chairman of Louisiana Rice Promotion
Board, Friday inside the Petroleum Club.
―So it is critically important for us to be able
open trade with other countries, Cuba being
the main focus. It has been a focus for the
last 20 or 30 years.‖Berken was one of four
panelists Friday who spoke during a
conference addressing the recent U.S.
decision to lift portions of the longstanding
embargo.
The conference was hosted by Le Centre
International de Lafayette.―We are not going
to talk about politics. We are going to talk
about who‘s against and who‘s for,‖ said
Philippe Gustin, international trade manager
for the center, before introducing speakers.
―We are going to talk about how Louisiana
and Cuban people can work together to
conduct business and conduct cultural
exchange and visit each other.‖Other
panelists included Gary P. LaGrange,
president and CEO of the Port of New
Orleans; Charles Larroque, executive
director of Council for the Development of
French in Louisiana; and Larry Sides,
president of SIDES & Associates.The
conference came the day after the U.S.
Departments of the Treasury and Commerce
announced President Barack Obama‘s
amendments to existing Cuban sanctions,
Gustin said.
―These changes will immediately enable the
American people to provide more resources
to empower the Cuban population to become
less dependent upon the state-driven
economy, and help facilitate our growing
relationship with the Cuban people,‖ the
White House said in its press release
Thursday.As of now, Mexico is the largest
importer of U.S. rice with 800,000 metric
tons a year, Berken said. But the rice
industry wants to re-establish its relationship
with the Caribbean country that once
demanded the domestically grown
crop.―Cuba is the second largest importer of
rice in the Americas. They have the highest
per capita consumption of rice, which is
about 200 pounds,‖ he said. Cuba grows
about 400,000 metric tons of its own rice,
but imports 600,000 metric tons, or $300
million worth, Berken said.
As of now, its biggest supplier is
Vietnam.―When we were sending rice there
in the early 2000s, there were lines formed
around the block and people would wait for
hours trying to get our rice,‖ Berken said.
―The Cuban people like the rice we grow
here.
‖Although the embargo was never lifted,
tension between the U.S. and Cuba eased a
bit during the Clinton administration, Sides
said.Sides has traveled to Cuba 24 times in
the last 15 year on the religious license. He
said he does not get involved in any political
aspect of the country. He merely goes for
mission trips and for leisure, he said.―I‘m
simply fascinated with the country,‖ Sides
said Friday. The only way the U.S. will fully
be able to establish a diplomatic relationship
with the country, and that includes tourism,
is for the U.S. to completely lift the
embargo, he said.
LaGrange agrees.
―Eventually, the embargo will be lifted,‖
Lagrange said, ―and there isn‘t a thing in the
world that Cuba doesn‘t need.‖The country
is only 700 miles from Louisiana‘s coast,
making it prime for convenient trade
especially from the Port of New Orleans,
LaGrange said.There‘s talk of a Cuban
consulate being built in the U.S. and New
Orleans may be vying against Tampa,
Florida, as a host city, he said.Culturally,
Cuba‘s Creole heritage could be well
connected to Acadiana, Larroque
said.―Louisiana should be next in line,‖ he
said. ―We need a consulate in New
Orleans.―I believe we have a wonderful
opportunity to resist the economic dark
clouds that are on the horizon by again
adding the value to the true Louisiana brand,
which is Creole,‖ he said. ―It‘s Cajun; it‘s
Creole — it‘s old colonial Creole and maybe
a new element to the mix is Cuban Creole.‖
Look ‘Inside the Embargo’
Larry Sides has made 24 humanitarian trips
to Cuba over the past 14 years, using his
camera to document life inside the embargo.
At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sides will present
―Inside the Embargo,‖ a look at life in Cuba
at The Daily Advertiser Community Room,
1100 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette.

DA to expand rice R&D
efforts to boost output
January 18, 2015
QUEZON CITY, Jan. 18 -- The Department of
Agriculture said that it plans to expand its
research and development efforts on rice to help
further improve the production of the crop.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala in a
statement said the DA also intends to intensify
the commercialization of diversified and
integrated rice-based farming systems such as
Palayamanan to enable farmers increase their
productivity and incomes. In Palayamanan, for
instance, farmers are taught to combine rice
growing with the cultivation of vegetables and
other high value crops, as well as fish and
livestock raising. DA promotes the technology
through the Philippine Rice Research Institute
(PhilRice) and National Rice Program.Rice
production in the Philippines has been on the
uptrend for the past three years. Between 2010
and 2013, milled rice production grew by an
average of 4.04 percent according to PhilRice. In
2014, palay harvest is projected to reach 18.88
million MT, 2.4% bigger than the 2013 record
output of 18.44 million MT.
Alcala said the entire country owes this to the
farmers who tirelessly worked to lead the
country towards greater rice sufficiency and
increased food security."We could not have
reached these milestones without the farmers
and without prompt and proper intervention
from the government. Never before has the
Philippines had this increment in rice," Alcala
said.DA is also banking on its current
partnership with the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI), in support of the government‘s
food security blueprint called the Food Staples
Sufficiency Program. Under the agreement, DA
and IRRI work together to produce and
distribute high-quality and improved rice seeds
that are adaptable to climate change. In addition,
best agricultural practices and other support
tools will be disseminated, including skills-
training for extension and field workers.
―The Department also intends to engage in
profiling, finger printing and purification of
traditional varieties with export potentials,‖
Alcala said.He added, regional or provincial
location specific technology development and
adaptive studies for irrigated, rain-fed and
upland ecosystem, is also included in the DA‘s
agenda.Participatory varietal selection for
favorable and adverse environment is included
in the DA‘s expanded R&D agenda for rice.The
DA will also enhance rice research capability
and capacity, which includes improving and
increasing facilities, equipment and manpower.

the income of Pakistan‘s
farmers.International centres like the
International Livestock Research Institute,
International Rice Research Institute, Asian
Vegetable Research and Development
Centre and University of California, Davis
are working as partners to support the
agricultural research community in
achieving the goals of the programme.
According to an official of Parc, each of the
provincial boards will have the board of
directors and an executive committee to run
the affairs and channel grants to the
province.The research boards will support
expansion of provincial linkages to national,
regional and international communities
through a mechanism of coordination. They
will play a growing role in the
administration of competitive
grants.National Food Security and Research
Secretary Sirat Asghar commented that the
innovation programme was playing an
important role in strengthening agricultural
research.

bring in international expertise from other
CGIAR centres like International Livestock
Research Centre (ILRI), International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI), International
Water Management (IWMI), Asia Vegetable
Research and Development Centre
(AVRDC), International Centre for
Improvement of Maize and Development
Centre (AVRDC), World Fish Centre and
International Food Policy Research Institute
(IFPRI). This consortium (of international
organisations) will also bring in regional and
national research institutions for the benefit
of farmers.
Facilitation of detailed plan preparations for
operationalising the mission annually by
providing guidance and technical support to
mission coordinator would also be done by
the ICRISAT. The institute would establish
pilot sites of learning in 13 districts (10,000
hectares each) of AP for increasing
productivity, profitability and sustainability
through science-led development and
climate-smart agriculture.
ICRISAT would also develop quality
assurance system for soil analytical
laboratories in the state, undertake capacity
building for staff and help in upgrading
existing soil labs for complete nutrient
profile analysis. It would assist in
developing PPP mode guidelines, mobilising
private entrepreneurs and preparing DPRs
and organise Global Investors Meet, the
release added.

Import Quota Debate:
Crisis Looms In Nigeria’s
Rice Value Chain Saturday, 17 January 2015 17:26
Written by Marcel Mbamalu
EVEN as the rice market experiences its
peak season, serious crisis may be looming
in the value chain due mainly to regulatory
snag, sharp market practices and bogus
investment speculations by investors, checks
by The Guardian has revealed. Rice
production has been hailed to be Nigeria‘s
next income spinner, with mills sprouting in
the different parts of the country and
markets flooded with locally made rice. But
feelers from government quarters and the
millers suggest that all is not well with the
so-called rice revolution.
The first hint of worry was dropped last
week when the Minister of Agriculture and
Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi
Adesina, raised the alarm that foreign
investors were sabotaging Federal
Government‘s efforts in the rice value chain,
claiming that excess import duties on rice
imports owed by investors amounted to
billions of naira. But the Nigerian Rice
Millers Association (NRMA) said the
allegations were ―baseless and
misconceived,‖ noting that a retroactive
quota allocation by the ministry was to
blame. Also, they argued that the quotas
were skewed in favour of speculated
investors who have no real investments on
ground to show for their interest in rice
production.
However, a document obtained from a
source, who is a major stakeholder in the
rice industry, revealed that the crisis in the
sector was mostly caused by sharp practices
of Indian and Thai merchants and traders
who import finished, packaged rice, causing
glut in the Nigerian rice market. According
to the source: ―Indian and Thailand
merchants and traders have dumped large
imports of finished packaged rice into the
Nigerian rice market. This has led to a major
glut in the local rice market with consequent
collapse of prices. Locally milled rice
cannot compete against cheap and low
quality imported rice from foreign countries.
Subsidies and export incentives have been
granted to these merchants in their home
countries.
Also recently, the Nigerian-Vietnam
Chambers of Commerce reportedly
disclosed that Nigeria spends about $500
million (about N90bn) annually on rice
importation from Vietnam; whereas the
latter spends a paltry $100 million to import
agricultural products like raw cashew nuts,
cassava and oil palm from Nigeria. Mr. Oye
Akinsemoyin, the President of the Chamber,
reportedly gave the figures. Mr. Timothy
Obadina, a Lagos-based licensed Customs
agent, had harped on the matter and rued
Nigeria‘s penchant for importing ―things
that are produced locally.‖
―This is the figure for Vietnam; we have
not added the ones from Thailand, China
and Indonesia. By the time we put all the
figures together, it will be
astronomical. Yet, you hear government
officials using every opportunity to say how
they have been growing the economy,‖
Obadina was quoted as saying. An email
from a rice farmer, who is very conversant
with the ‗import quota system,‘ at the
weekend, explained the far-reaching
implications of the development, saying:
―Nigerian rice farmers cannot sell their
produce of paddy.
This is the peak season for rice in Nigeria,
but farmers cannot sell because market
prices are low. Prices now offered by local
rice millers are substantially below their cost
of production. Farmers are losing, and the
earlier gains recorded in the sector are being
wiped out by the current crisis.‖ Rice
farmers generally complain of low
patronage of locally milled rice due to
prejudice and preference for imported
products, which have caused farmers severe
losses. The source claimed that, ―even
government agencies buy imported rice for
all their social functions. Some of these
agencies include National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) and others
involved in Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) activities.‖
―Local farmers are in cash crisis. They are
discouraged, frustrated and are unwilling to
go back to production. Local rice millers
face business failure or may collapse. They
are left to contend with unsold stocks, zero
profits, and compounded losses. There is
also the huge infrastructure burden of
electricity,‖ it stated. Alleging poor
management of rice imports and
governments unfulfilled promises to local
farmers and millers, the document said:
―poor management of import tariff and
smuggling; import quota not released on
time and ineffectual control and
management of imports are the immediate
and remote causes of the crisis. There is also
the tardy implementation of otherwise good
policies and strategies.
Promised improvements were not
implemented such as staple crop processing
centers, silo lease, paddy aggregation
centers, agriculture mechanization, and
irrigation schemes reactivation. ―Current
import quotas are not fairly distributed. New
investors without actual investments on
ground are favoured far more than people
who have actual assets and investments on
ground. Traders and speculators are
favoured against serious local players who
are already producing with massive
investments. Government has encouraged
speculators instead of farmers and serious
rice millers.‖
The debate
The Federal Government, last week, alleged
that foreign investors were sabotaging the
rice policy, claiming that some of them owe
the government debts amounting to about
N36.56bn, which was incurred for
exceeding their preferential allocated quotas
for imports. The Minister of Agriculture
and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi
Adesina, citing data from Nigerian Customs,
identified Popular Farms and Mills as well
as other importers as responsible for
exceeding their import quotas under the new
policy.
However, The Nigerian Rice Millers
Association (NRMA), at the weekend, said
the Minister only imposed quota in
December 2014, and requested payment of
excess duties for importations made when
quota was not in place. They accused the
Federal Government of imposing penalties
retroactively.Claiming that they do not owe
the Federal Government, the rice millers
maintained that the figures are
―misconceived and baseless.‖ They said that
the letters written by some of their members
to the Minister shouldn‘t be mistaken as an
attempt at sabotage, as members had worked
out their costs, sales prices and planned
ahead based on an earlier circular. The
ministry had identified three other
companies, including Conti-Agro, Central
Trading and Export and African firms as
having imported 98,285 metric tonnes of
rice without approved quotas, thereby owing
the treasury N8.16 billion.
A statement from the ministry hinted that
the companies had imported 634,270.16
metric tonnes of finished rice without
directives by the inter-ministerial
committees or issuance of quotas. Adesina
had said: ―Nigeria cannot lose any revenue
due to the economy. All companies who
have imported rice above their allocated
quotas must pay fully the amounts due to the
treasury. With the devaluation of the Naira,
all hands must be on deck to ensure that all
leakages are blocked. Nigeria is not for sale.
―I will not be intimidated, bought or
corrupted. I will not sell my country to any
foreign company. The President has given
us a clear matching order to make Nigeria
self-sufficient in rice and we will fully
achieve this. All who owe the Federal
Government must pay what they owe and
Nigeria must lose no single naira. No
amount of malicious representation will
derail the new policy.‖ According to the
statement, ―rather than pay the levies owed,
the two firms wrote letters to the Minister
asking for a revision of their rice import
quotas; Olam asked for 400,000 metric
tonnes rice import quota, to cover the
quantities of rice that they had gone ahead to
import (or still desire to import) without any
approved quotas or Domestic Rice
Production Plans (DRPP) as required, but a
mere agreement with Nigerian Customs that
they would pay the duties due once the
quota allocations are out.‖
But the NRMA, in a statement, said that
the minister didn‘t present the true picture of
things, as there must have been gaps in
information passed to him. According to the
statement, ―Sometime in May 2014, the
Minister of Finance issued a circular titled,
2014-2017 Fiscal Policy Measures on Rice,
in which it states that the President had
granted approval for the review of the fiscal
policy measures on rice to encourage
investments in the rice value chain through
backward integration with effect from May,
26, 2014.‖ The circular, according to the
NRMA read: ―Importation of Husked
Brown rice (H.S. Code 10006.2000.00) and
semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether
or not polished or glazed (H.S. Code
10006.3010.00), by investors with rice
milling capacity and verifiable backward
integration programme, shall attract 10
percent duty rate with a levy of 20 percent
and will be limited to the national supply
gap to be determined by the Committee (for
a period of fours) and; Importation of
Husked Brown rice (H.S. Code
10006.2000.00) and semi-milled or wholly
milled rice, whether or not polished or
glazed (H.S. Code 10006.3010.00), by pure
traders, shall attract an import duty rate of
10 percent plus 60 percent levy.‖
After complying with the dictates of the
circular, importing rice to meet the national
supply gap, the NRMA claimed to have
received a letter early in December dated
November, 27, in which the Minister of
Agriculture and Rural Development,
informed them that an import quota had
been tentatively assigned to each of the rice
importers and demanded that they pay into
the national treasury a higher tariff of 10
percent duty and 60 percent levy for a
surplus. According to the statement, ―The
circular came into immediate effect and our
members with clearly verifiable backward
integration investments proceeded to import
rice and paid duties and levies based on the
circular.
This step was timely as it helped to stabilize
the price of rice in line with the Federal
Government‘s objective.Surprisingly, by a
letter dated November, 27, 2014, received
by importers early in December 2014, the
Honourable Minister for Agriculture and
Rural Development informed our members
that an import quota has been tentatively and
unilaterally allocated to each of the rice
importers and demanded that they should
pay into the national treasury a higher tariff
of 10 percent duty and 60 percent levy for
surplus. The surplus arose from a quota
allocated six months after the circular.‖
―The quota allocated bore no relationship to
the billions of naira invested by the rice
millers.
Instead it weighed heavily in favour of
intending investors who propose to go into
production in 2017. Apart from the
relatively low quota, and the retroactive
imposition of very steep penalty, the
Honourable Minister‘s letter also imposed
the requirement of a Domestic Importers and
Rice Production Performance Bond without
due consultation with the stakeholders and
highlighted several penalties to be meted out
in the event of non-compliance,‖ it read. The
NRMA claimed that the letters written by its
members was intended to put matters in
proper perspective and shouldn‘t be
misconstrued as an attempt to sabotage local
rice production, noting that the accusation
was serious and alarming.
Interest Rates And The Nigerian Rice
Market Situation
SIMILARLY, the Federal Government‘s
recent monetary policy has been quite harsh
on the rice industry. Nigeria has an
estimated rice demand of 5.6 to 6 million
tons per year out of which the domestic
production is put at 3.2 million tons per
year; creating a short fall of about 2.8
million tons, which Nigeria imports from
India, Thailand and other South Eastern
countries of Vietnam, Bangladesh and
others. Nigeria is the world‘s second largest
importer of milled Rice next to
Philippines. Thus, it spends about $1.56
to $2.2 billion to import the shortfall of 2 to
3 million tonnes of milled rice per year.
Yet, analysts argue that Nigeria has suitable
ecology for rice production but needs to
invest resources to create irrigation facilities,
mechanisation and equip the farmers with
skills and knowhow to grow several
croppings of rice per year based on the
supply of good inputs and support services.
But a source, who would ―not want to be
part of the public debate with the Ministry,‖
said, ―if current agricultural initiatives and
momentum are maintained, Nigeria can
produce all the rice it needs and can, indeed,
export to neighbouring countries within the
Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS) within a short period of
time. This is the strategy of Agriculture
Transformation agenda as promoted by the
Hon. Minister of Agriculture, Dr.
Adesina. He said that, with careful
planning, ―Nigeria can save $1.56 to $2.2
billion if she can grow our own rice and stop
importation. Moreover, the local rice
production is of high quality, many experts
have argued.
―The new Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),
governor had, from the onset, identified rice
as one of the key products, which can be
grown locally and had started a new strategy
of backward integration aimed at driving
new investments into the local rice
production within a short period. ―This
would be achieved by providing low cost
capital to investors in the Rice Value Chain
(through CBN-CACS. ―Unfortunately, the
panic measures embarked upon by CBN to
support and shore up the value of the naira
will impact very adversely on the efforts
being made to promote the local production
of rice,‖ said the source. The source
further argued that the ―increase in interest
rate is a catastrophic blow to the laudable
initiative towards local rice production.‖
Based on the new monetary policy rate (at
which the apex bank lends to the banks),
which was changed from 12 percent to 13
percent, the banks have hiked interest rate to
as much as 30 percent per annum. CBN took
steps to devalue the Naira in order to reduce
pressure on the local currency, as people
seek to purchase the US Dollar.
To mitigate some of the effects of increased
lending rates in banks, the CBN is pushing a
zero-charge regime in banking services, a
development being privately protested by
the banks. It is feared that high interest rate
will frustrate investments and discourage
those making investments in the productive
sectors of the economy such as in the local
rice production. Industry experts argue that
local production is the only way of getting
out of the crisis.

Gravy on that rice:
Louisiana farmers eyeing
trade with Cuba
Embargo still stands, but trade rules
loosen
BILLY
GUNN| [email protected]
Jan. 18, 2015
Louisiana rice farmers would be one of the
biggest beneficiaries of expanded trade with
Cuba, a country ruled by a communist
regime that has been under varying degrees
of a U.S. trade embargo since the 1960s.―It‘s
critically important for the United States to
open up trade with Cuba,‖ said Kevin
Berken, a rice farmer in the Jefferson Davis
Parish town of Lake Arthur who speaks for
the industry in Washington.Berken was a
speaker Friday in Lafayette at a Le Centre
International de Lafayette-sponsored
Conference on Cuba.
In December, after 18 months of secret U.S.-
Cuba negotiations that led to Cuba freeing
53 political prisoners, President Barack
Obama announced the nations — 90 miles
apart — had restored diplomatic relations.
On Friday, more trade rules were
relaxed.Though only Congress can end the
embargo, the recent changes loosen the rules
greatly.Berken said Louisiana rice farmers,
who he said grow rice that is the envy of the
world, got a taste in the 2000s of how
lucrative it can be to sell the commodity to
Cuba. But later changes instituted by the
U.S. on the way Cuba had to pay for goods
— cash up front instead of credit — brought
the amount of rice Louisiana was selling to
the island nation to zero by 2009, Berken
said.
The Port of New Orleans‘ chief executive,
Gary LaGrange, told the conference Friday
the new rules include Americans in Cuba
being able to spend any amount of money
they wish, a change from the former
restriction of less than $200 a day.
Americans also can now purchase goods
with U.S. credit cards and can return home
with Cuba‘s famous cigars without breaking
the law.LaGrange said efforts are underway
to further open trade. On Saturday, six
members of Congress, all Democrats,
traveled to Havana for more talks.Still,
Cuba‘s evolution as a full trading partner,
where commerce flows both ways, faces
barriers, LaGrange said.
―There‘s not a thing in this room that Cuba
doesn‘t need,‖ said LaGrange, pointing
around the meeting room at the Lafayette
Petroleum Club, where the conference was
held.The country also needs a middle class
that will take it from one of the
hemisphere‘s poorest nations to one with a
vibrant economy, LaGrange said.―But we‘re
not going to get there until the embargo is
lifted,‖ he said.
Unfettered tourist travel to Cuba remains
off-limits, but it‘s opening up, Larry Sides
said.Since 2000, Sides has journeyed to
Cuba 24 times under special grants, such as
entering the country under religious license
as part of the Episcopal Diocese of
Cuba.Sides said that while the government
remains communist, the vast majority of the
population is not.―The Cuban people want a
good economy,‖ Sides said.
The government, which since the 1959
Cuban revolution has been ruled by
communists Fidel Castro and his brother
Raul, also wants a good economy, Sides
said.But pushed into a corner, the
government always ―will opt for the
principles of the revolution,‖ Sides
said.Expanded trade with Cuba has its
detractors, namely a faction of Cuban exiles
who left as a result of Castro‘s takeover in
1959.Even officials at Le Centre
International who put on the conference
Friday received complaints.
Philippe Gustin, international trade manager
at Le Centre, acknowledged ―the political
realities‖ inherent in widening trade with
Cuba.―But we‘re not going to talk about
politics,‖ Gustin said before introducing the
speakers. ―We‘re going to talk about how
people in Louisiana can work with Cuba.‖

Diets as medicine: Dr.
Jenkins puts emphasis on
health effects of food
JILL BARKER, SPECIAL TO
MONTREAL GAZETTEMore from Jill
Barker, Special to Montreal Gazette
Published on: January 18, 2015Last
Updated: January 18, 2015 9:00 AM EST
Dr. David Jenkins‘s research has
more to do with improving health
than getting rid of unwanted pounds, but his
most significant contribution is the proof
that following a specific diet can replicate
the results offered by medication.
David Jenkinst
a time of year
when we‘re all
taking a long,
hard look at
our diets,
McGill is
welcoming Dr. David Jenkins to speak about
his extensive career studying the health
effects of food.Jenkins is Canada Research
Chair in Nutrition and Metabolism and a
member of the faculty of Nutritional
Sciences at the University of Toronto. He
developed the glycemic index, widely used
to determine the extent carbohydrates affect
blood sugar, and the Portfolio Diet designed
to reduce cholesterol.
He is also this year‘s winner of McGill‘s
Bloomberg Manulife Prize, presented to a
researcher who has been instrumental in the
promotion of active health.To be clear,
Jenkins‘s research has more to do with
improving health than getting rid of
unwanted pounds, something we tend to
overlook in a society where diet is
synonymous with weight loss. But Jenkins‘s
most significant contribution is the proof
that following a specific diet can replicate
the results offered by medication. And for
Canadians, his knowledge has been put to
use by Loblaws, who consulted with Jenkins
in the development of their healthy Blue
Menu products.
The glycemic index is beneficial for
diabetics who need to keep an eye on their
blood sugar, but it‘s also helpful for a
society whose collective waistbands are
expanding at what health experts consider an
alarming rate.The (diabetic) population is
growing,‖ Jenkins said. ―It used to be four
per cent or so, but now it‘s up to eight per
cent. And we expect it to double again in the
next 20 years.‖
Fewer heart attacks
Type 2 diabetes is linked with obesity,
which is why anyone who has trouble
keeping their weight at a healthy range
should choose carbs with a low GI. Not only
will it trigger a slower rise in blood sugar,
compared to carbs with a high GI,
it has been associated with higher levels of
HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and
fewer heart attacks.Examples of foods with
a low GI are pasta, lentils, barley, sweet
potatoes, peas and most fruit. Medium GI
foods include oatmeal (rolled or steel cut),
whole wheat, rye and pita bread, brown,
wild or basmati rice and couscous.
High GI foods that promote a quick spike in
blood sugar include russet potatoes, waffles,
doughnuts, potato chips, raisins, ice cream
and many highly processed foods
like crackers, cakes, soft drinks, sugary
breakfast cereals and white rice and bread
and bagels.A growing number of nutrition
researchers suggest that a diet heavy in high
GI foods is the cause of much of today‘s
obesity problems. The boost in insulin that
goes hand in hand with a boost in blood
sugar promotes fat storage, which is where
the diets of today‘s society go wrong, they
claim.
So instead of limiting foods high in fat, as
we have been doing for the past few
decades, we should be limiting foods with a
high GI.Jenkins says his research team
hasn‘t looked specifically into the
association of a high GI diet with the
nation‘s climbing rates of obesity, but he
acknowledges that we have become
increasingly enamoured with highly
processed carbohydrate-laden foods.―The
trouble is that carbs are pleasant,‖ Jenkins
said. ―Dr. Atkins‘s diet (a popular low-carb
diet) is tolerable, but it‘s not overly pleasant.
To be honest, people are not eating enough
fruits and veggies.‖
Fruits, vegetables key feature in diet
Jenkins addresses the lack of fruits and
vegetables by making them a key feature in
his Portfolio Diet. Based on the belief that
your diet, like your financial portfolio, is
healthier when diversified, it also features
plenty of proven cholesterol-lowering foods
including vegetables, fruit, nuts and
legumes.In fact, the Portfolio Diet can be as
effective at lowering cholesterol as
medication.
Vegetarian based, it features foods like
oatmeal, lentils, peas, barley, okra and
eggplant as well as healthy fats and soy
products such as soy milk and tofu, and
foods fortified with plant sterols like
margarine, broccoli, salmon, tuna and
orange juice.Jenkins cautions that anyone
hoping to maximize benefits from either the
GI or the Portfolio Diet should eat as many
of its healthy foods as possible. So forget
about singling out any one food as a super
food, a practice that has become
increasingly popular.―Most people don‘t
follow the Portfolio Diet strictly and don‘t
benefit from the 30-per-cent reduction in
cholesterol that comes with the perfect use
of the diet,‖ Jenkins said. ―But even if they
only use half the diet, they still get half the
benefit.
‖For those of you who are already healthy
and active with no signs of elevated
cholesterol, heart disease and/or diabetes,
Jenkins says his diets won‘t provide any
added health benefits. That said, there is
very little downside to making a habit of
staying away from carbs with a high GI. The
same goes with the Portfolio Diet. The best
results come from absolute compliance, but
any improvement you make in your diet is a
step in the right direction.
Dr. Jenkins will be speaking at McGill
University Centre Ballroom, 3480 McTavish
on Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 12:30 p.m. Call
514-398-1248 for more information.

DA to expand rice R&D
efforts to boost output
Sunday, January 18, 2015
THE Department of Agriculture (DA) said that it
plans to expand its research and development
efforts on rice to help further improve the
production of the crop.Agriculture Secretary
Proceso Alcala said in a statement that the DA
also intends to intensify the commercialization
of diversified and integrated rice-based farming
systems such as Palayamanan to enable farmers
increase their productivity and incomes.In
Palayamanan, for instance, farmers are taught to
combine rice growing with the cultivation of
vegetables and other high value crops, as well as
fish and livestock raising. DA promotes the
technology through the Philippine Rice Research
Institute (PhilRice) and National Rice
Program.Rice production in the Philippines has
been on the uptrend for the past three years.
Between 2010 and 2013, milled rice production
grew by an average of 4.04 percent according to
PhilRice. In 2014, palay harvest is projected to
reach 18.88 million MT, 2.4% bigger than the
2013 record output of 18.44 million MT.Alcala
said the entire country owes this to the farmers
who tirelessly worked to lead the country toward
greater rice sufficiency and increased food
security."We could not have reached these
milestones without the farmers and without
prompt and proper intervention from the
government. Never before has the Philippines
had this increment in rice," Alcala said.DA is
also banking on its current partnership with the
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), in
support of the government‘s food security
blueprint called the Food Staples Sufficiency
Program.
Under the agreement, DA and IRRI work
together to produce and distribute high-quality
and improved rice seeds that are adaptable to
climate change. In addition, best agricultural
practices and other support tools will be
disseminated, including skills training for
extension and field workers.―The Department
also intends to engage in profiling, finger
printing and purification of traditional varieties
with export potentials,‖ Alcala said.He added,
regional or provincial location specific
technology development and adaptive studies for
irrigated, rain-fed and upland ecosystem, is also
included in the DA‘s agenda.
Participatory varietal selection for favorable and
adverse environment is included in the DA‘s
expanded R&D agenda for rice.The DA will
also enhance rice research capability and
capacity, which includes improving and
increasing facilities, equipment and manpower.
