RESEARCHERS WORKING WITH the ‘Market-based approaches toimproving the safety of pork in Vietnam’ or SafePORK projectattended a North-West Symposium hosted by the Australian Centrefor International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) on 23-24 November2017 in Hanoi. The two-day research-for-development symposiumdiscussed opportunities for inclusive agricultural development in thenorth-west region of Vietnam.SafePORK is funded by ACIAR and coordinated by the

International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) with a duration of fourand a half years starting in October 2017. Using a multi-disciplinaryapproach, the project brings together expertise in smallholder pigsystems, risk analysis, socio-economics, value chain assessment,veterinary epidemiology, and public health. The core partners are theHanoi University of Public Health, Vietnam National University ofAgriculture and Vietnam National Institute of Animal Science.“Cooperation in agriculture has been a very important part of

Australia’s relationship with Vietnam throughout the 44 years ofdiplomatic links between our two countries,” said the Australianambassador to Vietnam, Craig Chittick. According to Vietnam’s agriculture and rural development’s vice

minister Le Quoc Doanh, agricultural production in the northwest isyet to fully reach its potential. He said research carried out by projectssuch as SafePORK can help connect farmers increase production,access more profitable markets and increase their incomes whileprotecting the natural land and water resources of the region.The symposium explored key opportunities, learnings, insights

and implications from research programs in northwest Vietnamparticularly in relation to regional markets and trade, sustainablefarming systems, safe food value-chains, and inclusive andprosperous communities.

THE FAO FOOD Price Index (FFPI) averaged175.8 points in November 2017, downfractionally (0.5 per cent) from October butstill almost four points (2.3 per cent) abovethe corresponding period last year. A sharprise in sugar and vegetable oil quotations waslargely offset by a fall in dairy values whileinternational prices of cereals and meatproducts remained relatively muted.

The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 153.1points in November, nearly unchanged fromOctober but up almost 12 points (8.3 per cent)from November 2016. The Index has remainedlargely steady since August, generally reflectingan overall balanced supply and demandsituation especially with regard to wheat andmaize markets. In November, international riceprices rose by 1.1 per cent, amid strongerbuying interest and currency movements.

The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Indexaveraged 172.2 points in November, up 2.1points (or 1.2 per cent) from October andmarking a nine-month high.

The FAO Dairy Price Index averaged 204.2points in November, down 10.6 points (4.9per cent) from October, representing thesecond consecutive month of a sharp decline.International price quotations for butter,cheese and whole milk powder (WMP) all fell,as rising milk output in all the majorproducing countries contributed to reducingconcerns about the availability of supplies.

The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 173.2points in November, almost unchanged fromits slightly revised October value. Internationalprice quotations for pigmeat weakened for thethird consecutive month, on account of slowimport demand and large export availabilities.Similarly, ovine meat quotations sliddownward, for the second successive month,largely due to continued increase in meatsupplies in Oceania. By contrast, bovine meatprices rose for the third month in a row,supported by limited spot supplies fromOceania. Prices in poultry meat marketsremained stable.

The FAO Sugar Price Index averaged212.7 points in November, up 9.2 points (4.5per cent) from October but still as much as 26per cent below the corresponding month lastyear. International sugar prices rose inNovember, mostly supported by a drop inexports from Brazil and concerns over firmeroil prices encouraging greater switch of canecrush to produce ethanol than sugar.

FAO HAS LAUNCHED a new database tohelp countries better monitor, survey andeffectively manage their animal geneticresources, thereby allowing for early warningof the threat of extinction.The Domestic Animal Diversity Information

System (DAD-IS) is the most comprehensivesource of global information on animal geneticdiversity to date.The biodiversity of around 40 animal

species that have been domesticated for usein agriculture and food production is vital tofood security and sustainable ruraldevelopment. Many locally adapted breeds,some of which are threatened with extinction,have characteristics that make them resilientto climatic stress, diseases and parasites.Over the years, they have adapted to theirenvironments characterised by harshconditions.The revamped version of DAD-IS includes

new indicators to monitor the risk of extinctionof breeds indicating those that are at risk andneed urgent intervention.The system boasts a new user-friendly

interface, provides faster access to requiredinformation through a set of filters, and for thefirst time, includes tools to monitor theprogress towards achieving the relevantSustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The database is a result of three decadesof collecting national data from 182 countries.Currently, it contains data on almost 9,000breeds of livestock and poultry, includingbreed characteristics, information ondistribution and demographics and more than4,000 images. DAD-IS is an essential tool for planners,

decision makers and scientists to analysetrends, make informed decisions andforecasts, support the development andimplementation of international agreementsincluding the Global Plan of Action for AnimalGenetic Resources, as well as nationalpolicies and strategies for the management of

animal genetic resources. FAO estimates that more than 25 per cent

of the world’s local farm animal breeds arecurrently at risk of extinction. Examplesinclude the Inyambo cattle in Rwanda, theH’mong pig in Vietnam, the Criollo Uruguayosheep in Uruguay or the Limiá cattle in Spain.“DAD-IS is a very powerful tool to inform

policy-makers on potential risks, but a systemis only as good as its content,” said RoswithaBaumung, FAO animal production officer.“There is still a big data gap. For almost twothirds of the world’s livestock and avianbreeds, no information has been madeavailable to monitor their extinction risk.”

The system enables countries to store relevantdata and easily calculate indicators under the

Sustainable Development Goals.

Agenda

FOREST AND FARM Producer Organisations (FFPOs)

from more than 10 countries of Asia-Pacific are

gathering in Myanmar for the second regional

conference to accelerate and scale up

implementation of the SDGs in climate-resilient

landscapes for the benefit of local farm and forest

communities.

The conference: “From users to producers:

Scaling up FFPO businesses to implement the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in climate-

resilient landscapes,” is a three-day meeting

providing an opportunity for representatives of

local, regional and global forest and farm-related

organisations to share best practices that will help

improve livelihoods through collaboration and

networking.

At the core of this work is the producer

organisations with their strong organisational and

operational structures and proven ability to offer a

wide range of services to smaller producers – from

management of natural resources to information,

technology, business skills, market access and

financing.

“Producer organisations are strategic partners

for FAO in achieving its mandate and SDG targets

on food security and poverty reduction,” said

Xiaojie Fan, FAO representative in Myanmar. “FAO

supports existing dynamics in countries, by

strengthening producer organisations’ capacities at

global, regional and national levels. Drawing on its

global resources and expertise, and programmes

such as the Forest and Farm Facility, FAO facilitates

knowledge generation, organisation capacity

building, legal and policy reforms, partnerships and

south-south cooperation,” she added.

For more than 450mn people across Asia and

the Pacific, forests are an integral part of their lives,

with forest producers – through their key

contributions to local economies and rural

development – among the primary actors working

daily towards the achievement of the SDGs. FFPOs

also play an important role in increasing the

resilience of the most vulnerable rural communities

who are socially or economically excluded, by

providing a form of social protection that allows

them to overcome these harsh situations and

thereby avoid extreme poverty and hunger.

Community forest and farm businesses are also

critical actors in the chain of measures to build and

enhance climate resilience in landscapes.

Moreover, by offering landscape-dependent

communities opportunities to diversify their

income, FFPOs provide these communities with a

means of increasing their economic resilience. The

businesses also increase ecological resilience,

through enriching and connecting ecosystems.

When profitable, FFPOs diverse production

systems incentivise the protection of landscape

mosaics of forests, farm crops and trees, while

providing a hedge against uncertainty and

providing space for climate-change adaptation. At

the same time, such work improves livelihoods and

increases employment.

Asia-Pacific forest and farm producers pivotal to improvingsmallholder livelihoods


THE 2017 ASIAN Layer Feed Quality conference series held inNovember in Indonesia and Vietnam focused on three key areas:translating the latest layer research into practice; reducing feed costsand developing nutritional strategies to reduce in-feed antibiotics.

The global egg market is one of the fastest growing protein marketswith more than 50 per cent growth in next decade and faster growth foregg products. Global poultry is currently performing well, with producersgenerating profits in most regions of the world, despite the ongoingpressure of avian influenza (AI), which is felt especially in Asia. China isthe big exception, where the negative impact of AI has kept prices down.

Belgium headquartered multi-national feed additives producerNUTRIAD was a sponsor of the conferences in Jakarta and Ho ChiMinh City. Besides supporting the event, NUTRIAD also presented onalternatives for the use of antibiotics in feed formulations for poultry.

Dr Tim Goossens, business manager of digestive performance at

Nutriad Belgium, presented his paper entitled “Can gut health additivesbe used as alternatives for antibiotics? Limitations and opportunities.”Goossens highlighted the available options for AGP replacement andhow to apply additives in a strategy to reduce the dependency onantibiotics in poultry feed. He also shared the latest research on theapplication of ADIMIX PRECISION in layers and how its applicationsupports feed and food safety. Upon questions from the audience, heexplained the scientific data available on salmonella andcampylobacter control.

Nutriad CEO Erik Visser said, “Indonesia and Vietnam are strategicmarkets for Nutriad, so we were very happy to participate in theseindustry specific events. We continue to show our commitment throughsponsorship, sharing of know-how, increased technical support and afocus on converting global knowledge into practical solutions that canbe effectively implemented by producers in markets across Asia.”

THE 2017 EDITION of the show, held at the Hannover Fairgroundsin Hannover, Germany, presented a jam-packed line-up of events,including conferences and forums such as Young Farmers’ Day,

which was a day that welcomed young farmers from across the world totake part in an international exchange of experiences and WorkshopLive, an event that provided exclusive insights into the practical work ofyoung mechanics.

Some of the highlights from the sessions included market reports andbest-practice examples from successful firms. There was also anopportunity for delegates to exchange ideas and experiences and networkwith invited guests. Speaking ahead of the show Frederik Tipp, projectmanager, Ag Machinery International, Agritechnica, said, “Feedback fromDLG’s expert network has helped us to identify regions that areexperiencing machinery developments and are worthy of focus at theconference. The sessions we have planned will examine them withregard to market potential, market access avenues, financial frameworksand technology requirements.”

Increased participation from AsiaThis year, Agritechnica welcomed around 2,800 exhibitors from 53countries, serving as a platform to present the latest equipment andtechnology for the agricultural sector. Far Eastern Agriculture spoke toVincent de Lassagne, the brand leader for New Holland Agriculture AsiaPacific region. “We saw much more visitors from Asia this year than

previous years – there were a lot of visitors from China. It is very positivethat there is a lot of interest in all the technology we are displaying here.The Asia total market value is close to be one fourth of the world’s totalmachinery value with heavyweight countries such as China, India,Thailand – the biggest Asian countries for machinery. We see that incountries like India, there is a lot of interest for imported machinery ornew technology that we have not seen so far. For example, we havebeen present in the India market for many years. We started to sell highhorse power tractors as well and we sit very positively as there is a needfor additional productivity,” said Lassagne.

“There are much more dedicated contractors who are buying thismachinery not to only use on one farm but to share it. These farmersinvest in new machinery to use them on their farm but they also takecontracting jobs outside of their farm with the machinery and this trendis developing quite fast,” he said.

“In the market, we have to introduce new concepts that require abit of time to spread. We now have a product from India – a newcombine which is multicrop for farmers and contactors in Asia – it canbe used on all the types of crops grown in India and Southeast Asia.That is a new concept in Asia and we need to demonstrate theconcept and find the first entrepreneur who wants to develop theseactivities,” added Lassagne.

This makesthe beater frame as close as possible to the bed chain in order to mix themanure quickly and to improve spreading quality and width. A full widthside deflector has been designed to easily spread on fields sides.

SaMASZ recently launched its new generation of LiteCUT cuttingdisks. “Our designers keep up working hard to provide all of ourcustomers with machinery of the highest quality possible, which notonly facilitates operation but also ensures high quality fodder,” acompany representative said. The company has introduced retrofits tothe LiteCUT cutting disks. Therefore, it has created a completely newgeneration of disks which are fully interchangeable with previousmodels, and can be used without any problems at older cutting unitsapplied in SAMBA mowers.

SaMASZ has instructed its designers to optimise the shape ofLiteCUT cutting disks, which has improved their cutting properties whilesubstantially enhancing preparation of green forage, and in general hasimproved the strength and durability of the disks. Another feature of thecutting disk is the use of specially shaped cutterbars. The retrofit iscomplemented by the application of a wide tunnel between speciallyshaped toppings, which significantly improves self-cleaning, and as aresult ensures fodder of the highest quality and cleanliness.Performance, accuracy and high quality are main objectives thecomapny is aiming to deliver. Their efforts can make the 2017 seasonfar easier and more user-friendly than previously.

SCIENTISTS PREDICT THAT the adverseeffects of climate change are likely toreduce livestock production by 20 to 30

per cent in the near future as a result of risingtemperatures. Beside taking a toll on thehealth and wellbeing of the animals, heatstress also affects performance and, as aresult, profitability. Without countermeasures,climate change will negatively impact animalsin pig and poultry production.

The higher temperatures resulting fromclimate change will require certain measures tobe taken in pig and poultry production. Withoutsuitable cooling systems, animals kept inconfined livestock buildings would face increasedheat stress. That would have a negative effect onthe wellbeing of the animals. And, as a result oflower feed conversion or egg production, it wouldalso have an economic impact.

As the animals are predominantly kept inconfined livestock buildings equipped withmechanical ventilation systems, coolingsystems are crucial to the health of theanimals. While there are a range of ventilationsystems available in the market, costeffectiveness is a challenge to small andmedium scale farmers.

A recent study carried out at the Universityof Veterinary Medicine Vienna, VetmeduniVienna, examined the inlet air temperature ofseveral air cooling systems. The study foundthat the best solution is the use of the earth forheat storage via an earth-air heat exchanger(EAHE). An EAHE cools in the summer, andwarms up the inlet air during wintertime.

The comprehensive study, which wasconducted by Vetmeduni Vienna, BOKU andZAMG, as part of the Austrian ClimateResearch Programme, shows that the usualcooling systems, such as earth-air heatexchangers or direct and indirect evaporativecooling, some of which have been establishedpractice since the 1960s, are good choices forcooling livestock buildings. In an EAHE,outside air flows through tubes with a length ofabout 40 m, buried at a depth of about twometres. The systems works somewhat like acellar, which is cooler in the summer andwarmer in the winter.

Earth-air heat exchanger betterthan evaporative coolingThe heat stress on animals from temperatureand humidity can be measured using atemperature-humidity index. These parametershave been established for humans as well asfor many farm animals and they are animportant factor for determining which coolingsystems best protect animals kept in confinedlivestock buildings from heat stress.

Three common cooling systems, all ofwhich also find use in residential situations,were examined as part of the study. One

system cools the air by using the earth for heatstorage, the other two systems cool via thedirect or indirect evaporation of water. “Thesetwo systems function in a similar way assweating. The indirect method, however, alsouses a heat exchanger to avoid humidification,”study director Günther Schauberger explained.

“Our calculations showed that an earth-airheat exchanger is the most efficient system forconfined livestock buildings. The method coolsthe air accordingly during the summer. Andheating the inlet air in winter significantlyimproves the flow rate and thus the air qualityin the building,” Schauberger said. “Thismakes is possible to completely avoid heatstress for the animals.”

Direct evaporative cooling, on the otherhand, has the disadvantage that cooling the airalso results in increased humidity. The indirectmethod avoids this disadvantage, but thecooling is less efficient. �

New research shows that earth-air heat exchanger is an efficient way to protect farmanimals in livestock buildings against the effects of climate change


Rising temperatures will take a toll on the health and wellbeing of the animals.

Poultry


CCK CONSOLIDATED HOLDINGS, one of the largest integrated poultryfirm in Malaysia, will raise the production output of its poultry abattoir inKuching by one-third under an expansion and upgrading project.

Executive vice-chairman Chong Shaw Fui said the expandedabattoir would gradually increase the group’s production to 40,000birds per day from current 30,000 birds starting next year.

Installation of new machinery and equipment is expected to becarried out next month, StarBiz reported. The halal-certified abattoiralso has the acquired the hazard analysis and critical control points

certification from the authorities.“The dressed chicken are supplied to CCK retail outlets, corporate

clients including KFC and McDonald’s and processing plants to beprocessed into chicken parts, sausages and other products,” Chongexplained.

He was speaking at a briefing for a 33-member delegation fromSibu Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry on a field visit toCCK group’s hatchery farm in Bau. The delegation led by president DrGregory Hii Sui Cheng also toured CCK group layer egg farm.

GENETIC RESOURCES CAN play a majorrole in improving smallholderapproaches to farming and help them

augment their yields and livelihoods. Theeffective use of tree genetic resources is crucialto bridge production gaps, ensure profitabilityand diversify production options. This has, forexample, been highlighted by the Global ActionPlan for Agricultural Diversification (GAPAD).

If tree genetic resources are used effectivelyand sustainably, this can help improvelivelihoods, sustain ecosystems and helpreverse current cycles of land degradation anddeprivation.

However, the role of tree genetic resourcesin the provision of tree products and serviceshas often been undervalued. This has resultedin the cultivation of trees that are not matchedto the planting site, with poor yields of treeproducts and their low-quality traits.

The AgFor Sulawesi projectLinking Knowledge with Action (AgForSulawesi) is a research in development projectby the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) inSulawesi, Indonesia, which studied how to

improve equitable and sustainable agroforestryand forestry-based livelihood systems througha focus on genetic resources, governance andsustainable environmental management.

Agroforestry techniques became common insouth-east Sulawesi about 20 years ago whenland-use intensified with the immigration offarmers from south Sulawesi, Java and Bali.After the forest conversion, the fertile forest soilallowed for high yields. But limited knowledgeand poor practices led to substantially loweryields, which forced farmers to clear ever moreoriginal forest for their crops.

The project, which began in 2011 andcame to a close in March 2017, provided ruralcommunities with better quality plant geneticmaterial, improved on-farm managementpractices, marketing knowledge and capacitybuilding in governance and environmentalmanagement.

“We started off by identifying the mainspecies on the farmers’ land, but also thespecies that the farmers were most interestedin, the marketing opportunities and wherefarmers actually made the most money,” saidJames Roshetko, FTA researcher from ICRAF.

The most important species that wereidentified were cacao, durian, cloves, rubber,nutmeg, coconut, black pepper, coffee,rambutan and teak. Oranges, jackfruit and atimber called surian were added later. Thetradability of the products, whether globally ornationally, was crucial as a main incomesource for the participants.

“A lot of those are commodity crops,” headded. “Even if the farmers have what wemight call subsistence farming systems, theystill need to sell something for cash in this dayand age.”

Providing resources to farmersFTA researchers provided quality germplasm(seeds and seedlings) as the genetic resource,set up nurseries, and promoted species thatcould benefit people’s incomes.

“We introduced the concept that eachfarmer group could have its own nursery,”Roshetko said.

As of September 2016, there were 308 nurseries in the 10 districts, he explained, which had produced 1.66mnhigh-quality seedlings.

Of the seedlings, cloves accounted for 27 percent, while rubber was 24 per cent, durian was14 per cent, pepper was nine per cent, cacaowas seven per cent and nutmeg was five percent. This represented 86 per cent of the totalseedling production. Overall, seedlings of 60different species were raised in the nurseries.

Project staff toured the districts, undertookcommunity consultation and disseminatedinformation about AgFor Sulawesi to arousepeople’s interest.

Rather than financial incentives, Roshetkosaid the farmers were offered “knowledge,science and material to improve their ownlivelihoods.”

Improved yieldsParticipants in project trainings increased notonly production but also their incomes througha greater understanding of the market.

The effects were tangible, with Roshetkociting the example of a low-income womanwho said that by increasing her agriculturalproduction she was able to put her childrenthrough university.

With training a key aspect, the scientistsintroduced, for example, top grafting in cacao

gardens as an alternative way to replace oldtrees that had become less productive. A top-grafted tree can return to full production soonerthan a new seedling would reach fullproduction.

Many of the farmers’ challenges camedown to “simple management”, said Roshetko.

In line with FTA Flagship 1, AgFor Sulawesiused tree genetic resources to bridge gaps inproduction and promote resilience. Theassociated research is expected to improvegenetic resources knowledge. �

RICE IS THE staple food of Asia and part of the Pacific. Over 90 percent of the world’s rice is produced and consumed in the Asia-Pacific Region. With growing prosperity and urbanisation, per capita

rice consumption has started declining in the middle and high-incomeAsian countries like the Republic of Korea and Japan. But, nearly a fourthof the Asian population is still poor and has considerable unmet demandfor rice. The demand-produce gap for rice in Asia is predicted to riseexponentially in the near future.

“The projected demand by the year 2025 is mind boggling, as inmajor Asian countries rice consumption will increase faster than thepopulation growth. In summary, in Asia, the rice consumption by theyear 2025, over the base year 1995, will increase by more than 51 percent.”

The task of increasing substantially the current level of productionwill face additional difficulties such as greater demands on scarceresources and the added challenges of climate change. In this scenario,it is imperative that farmers adopt more sustainable cultivationtechniques.

Sustainable resource utilisation with DSRIn traditional rice cultivation, rice is sprouted in a nursery and thesprouted seedlings are then transplanted into standing water. Directseeding is a technique of rice cultivation where the rice seeds are sown

and sprouted directly into the field, eliminating the laborious process ofplanting seedlings by hand.

Under optimal conditions, direct seeding is considered a more efficientand cheaper method of growing rice than manual rice transplantation. Itrequires less resources such as labour and water, and it emits lessgreenhouse gases compared with other rice growing methods.

The process of transplanted rice often leads to damaging effects on thesoil for the succeeding wheat and other upland crops. This makes theprocess of puddling, the tillage of rice paddies while flooded, and thelaborious task of transplanting the young rice seedlings necessary toenhance the sustainability of the soil. Puddling requires large quantities ofwater and in regions where water is scarce this puts a great amount ofstress on the resources. Researchers have also found that it damages soilstructure and adversely affects soil productivity.

Direct seeding tackles these issues by eliminating the need forpuddling. Unlike puddle fields, these fields do not crack and so helpsave irrigation water. Surface retained residue serves as physical barrierto the emergence of weeds. They also moderate the soil temperature insummers and winters, conserve soil moisture, add organic matter andnutrients to the soil on decomposition.

The problem of seasonality in labour requirement for rice nurseryraising and transplanting operations is another issue related to ricecultivation. Non-development of ground water, erratic monsoon patterns

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) cultivation which provides a more efficient and cheaperalternative to manual rice transplantation has great potential in Asia.

and time required for operations often delay rice transplanting whichleads to late vacation of fields, forcing farmers to plant the winter cropsafter the optimum sowing time. DSR facilitates timely establishment ofrice and succeeding winter crops.

Different techniques of direct seedingDepending on the land preparation method used, direct seeding can bedone in two ways: dry direct seeding or wet direct seeding

Dry direct seeding method is usually practiced for rainfed anddeepwater ecosystems and is done by drilling the seed into a fineseedbed at a depth of two to three centimetres. Farmers sow onto thedry soil surface and then incorporate the seed either by ploughing orharrowing. Precision equipment, such as the Turbo Happy Seeder, canbe used to drill seeds. In this technique, fertilisers can be applied at thesame time as the seed. Manual weeding also is easier in machine-drilledcrops than in broadcast crops.

Wet seeding, on the other hand, requires levelled fields to beharrowed and then flooded (puddling). The field is left for 12-24 hoursafter puddling, then germinated seeds (48-72 hours) are sown using adrum seeder. In wet fields, direct seeding can be done either throughbroadcasting or drilling seeds into the mud with a drum seeder. Drumseeders are used for fast planting. It operates best on a well-levelled,smooth and wet seedbed.

Tackling weedsWhile in this method, plants are not subjected to stresses such as beingpulled from the soil and re-establishing fine rootlets, they have morecompetition from weeds. Weeds are one of the main reasons rice istraditionally sprouted in nurseries and transplanted; standing waterprevents germination of competing plants.

Seed can be broadcast for either dry or wet seeding, but manualweeding is far more difficult. Indeed, weed management is a criticalfactor in direct seeding. According to the International Rice ResearchInstitute (IRRI) knowledge bank, timely application of herbicides and oneor two hand weedings can provide effective control.

Promoting DSR in AsiaIn an attempt to make the technique of direct seeding more popularamong farmers, IRRI and BASF signed three agreements, paving the wayfor wider dissemination and adoption of DSR tools and technologies.Through this partnership, the two organisations will establish a multi-stakeholder DSR Consortium and further research on the use of non-genetically modified, herbicide-tolerant rice.

Although direct seeding is widely practiced in the United States andSouth America, challenges such as higher yield losses due to weedinfestation have limited its wide-scale adoption in Asia.

The new research consortium aims to develop robust mechaniseddry- and wet-DSR systems and investigate solutions to manage weedsand formulate agronomic practices suited for DSR farms in Asia.

Furthermore, the consortium will enable IRRI to develop DSRtechnologies and test rice varieties suitable to Asian environmentalconditions. Membership is open to the public and private sectors,research organisations, NGOs and farmer groups.

“Feeding the world is not just a public sector concern. It is a problemthat needs everyone’s contribution, including the private sector. With thispartnership, we’re enabling organisations like IRRI to work closely withcompanies like BASF toward a common goal, which is sustainabledevelopment,” said Jacqueline Hughes, deputy director general forresearch at IRRI.

The partnership will also advance research on non-geneticallymodified, herbicide-tolerant rice to safely control weed infestation in DSRsystems. Once these varieties are introduced to the market, a third-party

organisation will assess their impact on rice productivity, profitability, andecological sustainability.

“This partnership with IRRI will expand our reach and expertise, andwe are confident that this will contribute to faster and widerdissemination of rice technologies, such as the Clearfield ProductionSystem and Provisia Rice System, that raise rice productivity andfarmers’ income at the same time. Through this collaboration, we areexcited to provide products and programme support that contribute tofood security in a significant and environmentally sustainable way,” saidGustavo Palerosi Carneiro, head of BASF’s crop protection division inAsia Pacific. �

The demand for rice is predicted to growexponentially in the next 20 years.

Far Eastern Agriculture (FEAG): What does the Asia agri-machinery market look like at the moment? What are the factors driving growth?NHAG: The Asia-Pacific market is massive - it accounts for almost onethird all global demand for agricultural machinery and is growing fast.This growth is driven largely by the region’s increasing affluence. One ofthe main reasons for increasing affluence is increasing economicproductivity, and in the agricultural sector one of the main reasons forincreasing productivity is the adoption of modern equipment. You couldsay it’s a virtuous circle! Another significant factor in growth isgovernment support. China and India, the world’s two most populousnations, have great scope for growth, as do countries such as Thailand,Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. But in some places there’s still a lack of skilledmanpower and a lack of awareness about new technologies.

FEAG: Is New Holland looking to expand its presence in Asia?NHAG: Yes, in two ways. The first way in which we plan to expand isby introducing new products to the region to help farmers do their workmore easily, more productively and more profitably. The other way we’llexpand our presence here is in the ongoing support and advice weprovide to customers. As part of that commitment, in April 2017, NewHolland Agriculture progressed from having a third-party distributor inThailand to establishing a direct distribution structure there. At the sametime, we opened an additional branch in Bang Na, Bangkok, whichserves our customers and dealers in Thailand. These recent initiativeswill ensure our customers continue to receive market-leading levels ofparts and service back-up, as well as specialist advice and tailoredfinance packages. It is the kind of working partnership we believefarmers deserve.

FEAG: What are the latest products that were launched in the region?NHAG: There have been quite a few! Across Southeast Asia, we haveextended the popular TT4 Series of New Holland tractors, so that thisnow includes five models ranging from 55 to 85 hp. Also across theregion, our recent acquisition of Kongskilde Agriculture has broadenedour product range with ploughs, cultivators, seed drills, and grassharvesting and feeding products. In China, we introduced the new RollBaler 125, which delivers high productivity and uniform bale formationin a wide range of conditions. This further strengthens our position asmarket leader in hay and forage equipment. And in India, we introducedthe TC5.30 combine, the first multi-crop combine of its kind to beoffered in Asia. This state-of-the-art five straw-walker machine has thelowest cost of ownership and highest productivity in its segment.

FEAG: Can you tell us about New Holland’s pro-active andautomatic combine setting system which won a Silver at theAgritechnica Innovation Awards?NHAG: We’re proud to have been awarded a Silver Medal by anindependent committee of experts appointed by DLG, the GermanAgricultural Society. This recognises our innovation of the world’s firstpro-active and automatic combine setting system, a unique feature foundon our CR Revelation combine harvesters. This addresses the bigchallenge of maintaining maximum throughput levels while keepinglosses and damaged grain at acceptable levels. It does this by using GPSdata to proactively predict changes in slope and crop density and makecorrective adjustments before the combine’s header starts cutting andtaking the crop. It is a great example of how advances in technology areimproving farming productivity.

FEAG: Can you tell us about New Holland Agriculture’smethane-powered concept tractor that was unveiled recently?NHAG: This new concept created quite a stir when it was unveiled lastAugust at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois, USA. It gives a vision forthe sustainable future of farming. By pushing the boundaries withalternative-fuel solutions, it shows how a farm could be energy-independent. In addition to producing food, the farm would also producebiomass to generate energy to run its operations and machinery. What’seven more impressive is that the methane powered Concept Tractordelivers the same performance and durability as its diesel equivalent butreduces the running costs by about 30 per cent. By running on energyproduced from the land and waste products, the tractor combinesalternative fuels and advanced agricultural technology to create a vitallink that closes the loop in the virtuous cycle of the Energy IndependentFarm concept first launched by New Holland in 2009.

FEAG: What are New Holland’s latest offerings in precisionfarming? What is the precision farming market in Asia like?NHAG: The productivity benefits of precision farming are great, but insome parts of Asia the technologies are in the early stages of adoptionbecause of lack of awareness. This means there’s still huge potential inAsia to make gains from these technologies. One good example is NewHolland’s PLM (Precision Land Management) Software, which enablesfarmers to download precise yield data from a tractor or combine andanalyse it on a PC to tailor activity for future seasons. This helpsmaximise yields, control input costs, and optimise profits. Then there’sPLM Connect telematics, which connects machines to PCs in the officeto provide information about the machine’s location, operational hours,and scheduled maintenance, with remote diagnostics capabilities. Alsopopular with machine operators is our IntelliSteer system, which lets youset your guidance path and then sit back, relax, and enjoy the hands-offride as the machine works to an accuracy of ont to two centimetres.

FEAG: Has New Holland been taking steps towards promoting sustainability in agriculture?NHAG: Most definitely! It is worth saying something about sustainability,an important issue which grows in urgency every year. Sustainability isimportant at an economic level because it can lead to lower energy costsfor many businesses including farms, and important at the

environmental level to prevent the potentially catastrophic effects ofglobal warming. That’s why in 2006 New Holland launched its CleanEnergy Leader strategy, to pioneer and promote renewable fuels andsustainable agriculture. We are helping our customers reduce emissions,lower fuel consumption, better manage their soil, control valuable waterresources, optimise production inputs, and cultivate clean energysources.

In Asia, our commitment to sustainability is particularly seen in ourpioneering farming technologies for biomass. We are making proactiveefforts to reduce emissions from sugarcane burning in countries suchas India and Thailand by encouraging the use of balers to re-utilisesugar cane trash for combustion. And in India we have launched acampaign to spread awareness among farmers of the ill-effects ofburning crop-residue left in the fields after harvesting, sharinginformation with them about solutions that can help in crop residuemanagement. As part of this project, New Holland is providing trainingwith a complete range of equipment for straw management such asrakes, balers, mulchers and tractors.

FEAG: Can you tell us about your latest innovations inagri-equipment?NHAG: While we’re talking about equipment, I should like to mention ourNHDrive autonomous tractor. This unmanned vehicle can perform a widerange of farming tasks at day and night, meaning it can make full use ofthe periods of favourable weather for farming - and can even work 24hours a day, seven days a week. This has the environmentally-friendlybenefits of optimising engine running time and reducing crop waste.Further development of this concept will be part of our future PLM strategy,which is one of the pillars of our Clean Energy Leader strategy.

And of course, we cannot forget the already mentioned Methanepowered Concept Tractor: which is one of the cornerstones of our CleanEnergy Leader strategy, also on display at Agritechnica this year.

At New Holland we see methane and propane as the fuels with thegreatest potential for the development of technologies that deliver on allfronts: performance, costs and sustainability. �

CASE IH’S NEW ActiveDrive 8 version of its latest MaxxumMulticontroller tractor range has been awarded the Machine of the Yeartitle for 2018 at AGRITECHNICA.

Judged by a panel of European agricultural magazine editors, theaccolade has been given in recognition of the performance and cost-saving benefits the new transmission and other range developmentsbring to this tractor market segment.

The Machine of the Year award, one of the key events on theAgritechnica agenda, is judged by journalists from the Germanagricultural publications agrarheute, traction, Agrartechnik, Land &Forst, Bayerisches Landwirtschaftliches Wochenblatt and from otherinternational agricultural publications. The journalists make their overallselection from 14 categories of tractors and other self-propelledequipment to implements. The winners of each category are thenrevealed in mid-November, before the overall MOTY winner selected isrevealed at Agritechnica.

An entry into the MOTY ‘mid-class’ tractor bracket, the latestMaxxum Multicontroller models feature a new semi-powershifttransmission offering eight powershift steps in each of three ranges.Named ActiveDrive 8, it joins the existing four-speed semi-powershiftand continuously-variable transmission options available on Maxxumtractors, which respectively have been renamed as ActiveDrive 4 andCVXDrive. ActiveDrive 8 provides a total of 24 speeds in both forward

and reverse. The transmission incorporates a number of featuresdesigned to make the tractor more efficient and the driver morerelaxed. A creeper version is optional available for special applications.

Covering speeds up to 10.2 km/h, range one is specificallydesigned for heavier draft work. For special applications requiring verylow speeds, such as vegetable crop work, ActiveDrive 8 is alsoavailable with additional creep speeds.

DRAWING ON ITS many years of experiencegained in the field and through meeting theneeds of 25,000 satisfied customers, CLAASshowcased its TERRA TRAC expertise atAgritechnica with enhanced versions of itscrawler track system fitted to a JAGUARforage harvester and an AXION large tractor.

Soil compaction reduces yields and takesa great deal of work to eliminate again. CLAAScommented that it attaches great importanceto soil protection, starting with measurestaken during the machine development

process. 30 years ago, the companypresented the first series-production combineharvester with full rubber tracks. This wasfollowed by the TERRA TRAC concept a fewyears later. Since then, CLAAS has pursuedthe systematic development of crawler tracktechnology on the LEXION large combineharvester.

The benefits of this system for combineharvesters comprise are many. It applies 66per cent lower soil pressure compared withwheeled machines and delivers 40 km/h on-

road travel with a transport width thatcomplies with road traffic licensingregulations. The company pointed that thissystem also provides high level of drivingcomfort through hydropneumatic suspensionand smooth front attachment guidance andexcellent directional stability. It allows for highstability on side slopes and has potential forcost savings through protection of soilstructure and reduced effort required forsubsequent tillage.

As the next logical step, CLAAS is nowequipping AXION large tractors and JAGUARforage harvesters with this concept which hasbeen optimised specifically to meetcustomers' requirements.

In equipping its JAGUAR with TERRATRAC, CLAAS is the first forage harvestermanufacturer to present a factory-fittedintegrated crawler track system for forageharvesters which protects the soil and grasscover with a unique, integrated headlandprotection feature. During a turningmanoeuvre, the machine is supported on themiddle support rollers, thereby raising part ofeach crawler track. As a result, the contactarea and degree of soil pressure changebriefly to a level comparable to that obtainedwith 800-size tyres. This innovative conceptallows year-round operation with a highdegree of machine utilisation and no time lostin conversion.

A half-track tractor with full suspension, the AXION 900 TERRA TRACcombines the advantages of a tracklaying tractor with the moreconvenient drive characteristics of a conventional standard tractor.
