PhilRice trains 20 out-of-school youth to learn rice farming
by Mary Grace Padin - November 23, 2015
THE Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) said it has recently trained 20 out-of-school
youths (OSYs) in rice farming, equipping them with technical knowledge and skills, and a
―positive‖ mind-set toward farming and agriculture.The 20 OSYs completed a seven-week
training as part of the module under the Agricultural Development Officers of the Community
(AgriDOCS) training program. The PhilRice said the participants were young people who went
to farming after being forced to stop their education due to lack of resources.Arnaldo Bildua, one
of the participants with seven years of experience in farming, said the training gave him a better
understanding and appreciation for rice.
Bildua works for seed growers in Maligaya, Nueva Ecija. During the harvest season, he is hired
to help in the drying, roughing and processing of seeds. But during other seasons, he said he is

―left with nothing to do.‖The 20-year-old farmer said the training encouraged him to go back to
farming and made him realize that there is money in farming, especially in rice.Dr. Karen Eloisa
T. Barroga, leader of Improving Technology Promotion and Delivery through Capability
Enhancement of Next-Gen Rice Extension Professionals and Other Intermediaries (IPaD)
Project, which implements the AgriDOC training program, said the project contributes to
community transformation by engaging the community, especially the OSY-farmers.―It is a great
challenge to engage the OSYs, who often work in the farm only for work’s sake. But, we know
that farming will soon be in their hands.
So, we have to show them that it can be productive and profitable. We also encourage positive
mind-set and engage them in entrepreneurial activities with the AgriDOCs to help ensure
sustainability and resilience. Otherwise, they will leave farming, their families and their
communities,‖ Barroga said in a statement.Barroga said the training could give the OSYs an
advantage when applying for rice-related jobs, especially if they pursue certification from the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda).Project IPaD is currently
working with Tesda in developing training regulations for rice-production competency, she
said.Among the rice farming topics shared with the OSY-participants included classifying
organisms in the rice field, using the leaf color chart, a nitrogen diagnostic tool and doing an
agro-ecosystem analysis to lessen chemical applications in fields.
Training the OSYs in rice farming communities is part of the PalayCheck
and Palayamanan module of the AgRiDOC training under Project IpaD, which is funded by the
Department of Agriculture National Rice Program through the Bureau of Agricultural
Research.PalayCheck is an integrated crop management system for rice, while Palayaman is a
diversified rice-based farming system coined from the words palay (rice) and yaman (wealth),
the PhilRice said.

Bulog's Steps to Increase National Rice Reserve
MONDAY, 23 NOVEMBER, 2015 | 09:54 WIB
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) Ministry has prepared five steps to
strengthen the National Logistics Agency (Bulog) to increase national rice reserve. The strategy
is part of the ministry’s agenda until 2019.Deputy for Business Infrastructure Sector of the SOE
Minister Wahyu Kuncoro explained that Bulog’s first strategy is to work on agriculture. ―But
that doesn’t mean that Bulog will be farming,‖ he said in Jepara, Central Java, on Saturday,
November 21.Bulog recommends that the government acquires new land.Second strategy is
modernizing additional storage facilities. Wahyu said that the storage capacity owned by Bulog
is just 3.9 million ton or equal to 6-7 percent.
―We will add this to become 15 percent.‖Next, Bulog will absorb crops. Wahyu says the
absorption through an offtake agreement is to give supply certainty for Bulog. ―Fourth is the
development of food distribution channels,‖ he said.The last strategy is reinforcing of Bulog
function. Wahyu said Bulog will have its subsidiary in charge of distribution. The subsidiary will
be integrated with two SOEs, PT Sang Hyang Sri and Pertani, as well as PHC. ―Bulog will also
be coordinating with SOEs of logistics and distribution function,‖ he said.

Guyana: rice earnings down as Venezuela pulls-out
Guyana’s rice exports increased by six per cent during up to October this year, compared with
the same period in 2014, but a significant drop in the world market price for the product has
resulted in reduced export earnings. Acting General Manager of the Guyana Rice Development
Board (GRDB,) Nizam Hassan, said Guyana exported 437,448 metric tonnes of milled rice in the
last 10 months, and 412,228 metric tonnes for that period in 2014.
But with Guyana not getting the higher than above market prices that it was getting with
Venezuela – which has decided to stop buying rice from Georgetown – the dollar figures are not
looking as good. ―In 2014, almost 30 per cent of the market that we exported to was Venezuela,
for which the country and the farmers were receiving higher than above world market prices for
the rice and paddy they exported there,‖ he said. In 2014, Guyana received from Venezuela,
US$480 per metric tonne of paddy. White rice, being traded now, ranges between US$390 and
US$398 per metric tonne. This is compared to US$780 that was received by Guyanese exporters
and millers for export of the same commodity to Venezuela last year.

SATURDAY, 21 NOVEMBER, 2015 | 20:08 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A number of traders in Bojonegoro regency, East Java, estimated that
the prices of various types of rice would continue to rise because the supply of rice produced by
local farmers, including in Tuban, is almost running out."The price rice of rice can reach Rp 500
per kilogram before the harvest time,‖ said one of the rice traders at Banjarjo market in
Bojonegoro, Nanang, on Saturday (21/11).Nanang also said that rice harvest in Tuban and other
areas in East Java would be done in around three to four months."The prices of premium rice and
rice for the poor have also risen in the past one week,‖ he added

Dry weather forecast to leave crops thirsty
HA NOI (VNS) — El Nino will last until next spring, the season when winter crops are
harvested, and is expected to usher in higher-than-average temperatures, according to the
National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.As a result, northern provinces are likely
to face a water shortage and a warm harvesting season for winter-spring crops, the centre said.
El Nino is the warm phase of the El Nino Southern
Oscillation (commonly called ENSO) and is associated
with a band of warm ocean water that develops in the
central and east-central equatorial Pacific.It is the longest
El Nino period in the past 50 years, said experts from the
centre.The amount of rainfall in the central area could be
30 to 60 per cent less than average. Unfavourable weather
has sharply affected crop productivity since the beginning
of the year. A serious drought in central areas rendered
49,000ha of agricultural land unsuitable for
cultivation.The area in which summer-autumn rice was planted in northern provinces shrunk by
1.3 per cent compared with previous years, and the area of the winter crop shrunk by 13.6 per
cent as of the beginning of November.Tran Xuan Dinh, deputy director of the Crop Production
Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, told the Kinh te do thi
(Economics and Urban) newspaper that this year's winter-spring crop is expected to face a water
shortage.To minimise the consequences, Dinh said localities should give instructions about
climate change and make farmers aware that they will face a warm season and drought so that
they can plan accordingly.
Localities should change their crops and plant a variety of different crops.For instance, with
warm weather, the farmers should use a short-term rice variety and cultivate it at the beginning
of February next year.The Directorate of Water Resources asked provinces and cities to outline
plans to cope with drought, namely plans to closely monitor water levels in ponds and
rivers.Pham Khanh Ly, deputy director of the Department of Aqua culture under the Directorate
of Fisheries, said the department has also instructed farmers to start breeding fish a month earlier
than usual, beginning next month.The breeding density will be decreased by 10 per cent in order
to prevent diseases caused by water shortages and overcrowding.

The Ha Noi People's Committee has asked districts to establish plans for the winter-spring crop
that are suitable with the present water condition.Farmers should use a plant variety that needs
little water to ensure productivity, Ly said, adding that irrigation systems should be operated
regularly to remove water from the Hong (Red) River. — VNS

Rice sector must adapt to global competition November 23, 2015 10:02 pm
by JAMES KONSTANTIN GALVEZ, REPORTER
The Philippine rice industry will soon bear the brunt of global competition as quantitative
restrictions may no longer be extended beyond 2017, the Philippine Rice Research Institute
(PhilRice) said.At present, Manila limits the amount of rice allowed to enter via the so-called
minimum access volume (MAV) scheme to 805,000 metric tons.The MAV sets the volume of
farm produce allowed to enter the Philippines at reduced tariffs. Shipments outside the MAV are
levied higher rates of 50 percent and require approval by the National Food Authority.
With the government no longer able to control the volume of imported grains once the QR is
lifted, PhilRice said cheaper rice that is subject to a 35-percent tariff would compete in the local
market.―Cheap imported rice will likely be sold in the Philippines, lowering the prices of local
milled rice and palay. This, in turn, will force farmers to look for ways to reduce their cost of
production to retain profit,‖ the grains research agency said.―If the QR were removed today and
only 35 percent tariff remained as trade protection, local farmers will not be able to compete,‖ it
added.
The Department of Agriculture, through PhilRice in collaboration with the International Rice
Research Institute, conducted a cross-country study in 2013 that assessed the cost of producing
palay among intensively cultivated and irrigated ecosystems in six countries: the Philippines
(Nueva Ecija), China (Zhejiang), Indonesia (West Java), India (Tamil Nadu), Thailand (Suphan
Buri) and Vietnam (Can Tho).Among the importing countries (Philippines, China, and
Indonesia), Nueva Ecija had the least cost of producing dry paddy (at 14 percent moisture
content and at P12.34 per kilo).
Zhejiang’s and West Java’s were pegged at P13.99 and P16.21, respectively.Relative to
exporting countries, however, it was still very expensive to produce in Nueva Ecija, with prices
Daily Global Rice E-Newsletter by Riceplus Magazine
8
at only P8.87 per kilo in Tamil Nadu and P9.46 in Suphan Buri. It was cheapest to produce dry
paddy in Can Tho at P6.50 per kilo.―There is a wide difference in land productivity. Can Tho
produces three rice corps a year while Nueva Ecija only has two; high rice yield also contributes
to lower unit cost in Can Tho while high labor cost due to manual labor in Nueva Ecija also
contributes to higher cost of local palay,‖ PhilRice said.―The practice of direct seeding in crop
establishment and the use of combine harvesters primarily, and dependence on family labor
explain the lower labor cost in Can Tho.
In Nueva Ecija, transplanting, which is labor-intensive, remains popular together with manual
harvesting and mechanized threshing,‖ it noted.PhilRice said the free use of water from state
irrigation canals, greater volume of paddy output, more efficient handling and higher milling
recovery were the key factors for Vietnam.―Clearly, from farm to market, rice in Nueva Ecija is
far more expensive to produce than in Can Tho,‖ it said.Vietnam also in a much better position
to export rice with 44 million MT of paddy for a population of 91.7 million, compared to 18.4
million MT for 98.4 million Filipinos.Relying on world market to meet the Philippines’ rice
requirement would not be feasible, PhilRice said.―Given the country’s yearly total rice
requirement of about 14.7 million MT rice, it will be impossible to rely solely on international
trade to supply our rice needs,‖ it said.
―This means that we need to produce the bulk of the rice that we eat. We cannot count solely on
imports,‖ it added.PhilRice said the Philippine government could actually ban imports and
declare rice self-sufficiency but this would trigger an upsurge in rice prices, long queues, and a
restive constituency.―With an ever-growing demand, rice imports are allowed to stabilize
domestic rice prices. Indeed, food security is not just about producing enough supply but also
ensuring its affordability to consumers,‖ it noted.To make local rice more affordable, the grains
agency said that stakeholders should improve competencies, stressing that increasing rice yield
was central to being competitive. It also said that there are already ways that could have an
immediate impact.―This is where hybrid rice technology helps, coupled with appropriate crop
management in our suitable areas.
Increasing availability and reliability of irrigation water, particularly in the dry season, will also
lead to improved yield,‖ it said.In reducing cost, PhilRice the intensified use of labor-saving
technologies such as combine harvesters and direct seeding was a step in the right direction. To
alleviate rural labor displacement, jobs need to be generated outside the agriculture sector and
improving the efficiency of milling and handling can also reduce the cost of processing and
marketing rice.―We must invest in state-of-the-art rice R&D to create next generation
technologies that would be future sources of yield growth,‖ it said.―We cannot allow the rice
industry to die a natural death, but we also cannot afford to be complacent and continue to
produce expensive rice. We should start our quest for rice competitiveness,‖ PhilRice said.

Minister abused power in ST15 rice quota, says PAS
The rice subsidy scheme is open to abuse, says
PAS today. – The Malaysian Insider file pic,
November 23, 2015. The latest auditor-general’s
report indicated that the agriculture and agro-based
minister ―abused his power‖ in providing quotas
for the Super Tempatan 15 (ST15) rice, which was
meant for the poor, PAS said today.The ministry
recently announced that it was discontinuing the
ST15 quota for 2016 because of leakage and
wastage in the provision system. The A-G’s report,
according to the Islamist party, also stated that the provisions were given to firms selected by the
minister, and not through an open tender process.
―In short, the minister made the mistake, and the people are paying for that mistake,‖ said in a
press conference at the Parliament lobby today.Mahfuz demanded an investigation into which
minister who started the practice.Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek is the current minister, while
Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was the previous minister."We want to know when this practice
started, and which minister started this," Mahfuz said.This goes to show that the minister chose
all the wrong firms, which were not capable of ensuring that the subsidised rice went to those
who were supposed to get it." – November 23, 2015.

U.S. Rice Makes HealthCents for the Holidays
Eat Right, Think Rice
ARLINGTON, VA -- To encourage shoppers to cook with rice this holiday season, USA Rice is
partnering with retail dietitians at Redner's, a mid-Atlantic grocery chain of 45 stores located
across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.Redner's HealthCents magazine is written by their
corporate dietitian and is published six times throughout the year, providing shoppers with timely
health and wellness themes as well as recipes and meal solutions. The November/December
issue prominently features U.S.-grown rice in a two-page spread titled "Eat Right, Think Rice."
The article includes U.S.-grown rice nutrition, versatility, and locally-grown messaging as well
as the Think Ricelogo and USA Rice's new "Top 10 Reasons to Eat Rice Grown in the USA"

"The article also includes two USA Rice recipes, perfect for the holidays - a rice puddingand
Maple-Glazed Turkey with Cranberry Arugula Rice," said Katie Maher, USA Rice director of
domestic promotion. "Both of these recipes showcase the versatility of rice and how it can be
used from main dishes to dessert, and provide shoppers with new recipes to add to the table and
even unique ideas on how to make holiday leftovers new again."The magazine will reach more
than 10,000 shoppersin stores from November 8 - January 9, 2016 and is also available on
Redner's website which receives more than 21,000 unique visitors per month.In addition, USA
Rice's Maple-Glazed Turkey with Cranberry Arugula Rice recipe and U.S.-grown rice nutrition
messages were included in the HealthCents section of Redner's weekly circular during
November.
To further encourage shoppers to try the recipe, the dietitian also created a bundle sale featuring
Redner's private label U.S.-grown rice, cranberries, and turkey in the ad section.To top things
off, dietitians are also promoting U.S. rice in stores through displays and recipe demonstrations.
For the month of November, the dietitian's HealthCents display features U.S.-grown rice and
USA Rice's featured recipe was sampled for three days at TasteStation Sampling events in 30
higher traffic stores.Maher added, "These features work perfectly together - highlighting
consistent messaging and the same recipe - to reiterate to shoppers to think rice while planning
holiday meals."

USDA to Collect Final 2015 Crop Production and Crop Stocks
Data
WASHINGTON, DC -- As the 2015 growing season comes to
an end, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will contact producers
nationwide on the December Agricultural Survey to gather final
year-end crop production numbers and the amount of grain and
oilseed they store on their farms. At the same time, NASS will
survey grain facility operators to determine year-end off-farm
grain and oilseed stocks.
"The December Agricultural Surveys are the largest and most
important year-end surveys conducted by NASS," explained
NASS's Louisiana State Statistician Nathan Crisp. "They are the basis for the official USDA
estimates of production and harvested acres of all major agricultural commodities in the United
States and year-end grain and oilseed supplies.
Daily Global Rice E-Newsletter by Riceplus Magazine

Data from the survey will benefit farmers and processors by providing timely and accurate
information to help them make crucial year-end business decisions and begin planning for the
next growing and marketing season. Producers not responding by mail or electronic data
reporting (EDR) will be contacted by phone or in person." The information will be compiled,
analyzed and then published in a series of USDA reports, including the Crop Production Annual
Summary and quarterly Grain Stocks report to be released January 12."Crop information reported
by producers on the December Agricultural Survey will be included in the County Agricultural
Production Survey and used in calculating local yields," explained Crisp. "USDA uses yield
information from the survey to evaluate and administer vital farm disaster mitigation and
insurance programs such as Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC).
Farmers who receive the December Agricultural Survey are not included in the County
Agricultural Production Survey; therefore this is their only opportunity to be included in the
calculation of statewide yields. If you choose not to report, your unreported farm information
may decide whether your locality has published yields which may be needed for calculating
losses. Localities that do not have enough reports and sufficient coverage of each commodity
will not be published. I encourage each producer to report their farm information so that each
locality can be published." As with all NASS surveys, information provided by respondents is
confidential, as required by federal law.
