Agriculture Innovations Could Boost Global Rice Production by 43%, Reduce Food Prices by 50% by 2050, IFPRI Says
Feb 13, 2014
A study by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has found that new agricultural practices and technologies could increase global rice production by up to 43% and reduce food prices by nearly half by the year 2050.The IFPRI study is published in the book, "Food Security in a World of Natural Resource Scarcity: The Role of Agricultural Technologies," and examines 11 agricultural practices and technologies and how they could help farmers globally to improve the growth sustainability of the world's main staple crops rice, maize and wheat - in developing countries. The 11 agricultural innovations identified by IFPRI include: crop protection, drip irrigation, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, integrated soil fertility management, no-till farming, nutrient use efficiency, organic agriculture, precision agriculture, sprinkler irrigation, and water harvesting. For instance, the study says that nitrogen-use efficiency could increase rice crop yields by 22% and irrigation could increase crop yields by another 21% by 2050.IFPRI Director and lead author of the book says farmers in the developing world could adopt a combination of technologies according to their crop schedules and regional preferences to improve global rice production by 43%, maize production by 49% and wheat production by 45%. He however, adds that improvement in agricultural education would ensure better use of available technologies according to different regions and availability of resources.

A nationwide survey by Thailands National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) on "Farmers Perspectives on Rice Resolutions" among 1,250 sample respondents has found that the rice pledging scheme initiated by the Yingluck administration failed mainly due to corruption.In the survey, about one-third of the respondents said corruption was the main reason for the government's failure to pay for their rice. About 18% of respondents blamed money shortages due to losses in rice trading, around 18% blamed liquidity problems, about 15% said restrictions from financial institutions led to the failure of the scheme, while about 13% pointed out government's administrative failure and its irresponsibility as reasons.More than one-third of the respondents said the caretaker prime minister should be held responsible for the government's failure on overdue payments; about one-third said the cabinet should be responsible; about 17% said the Commerce Minister should be responsible; about 10% held anti-government Peoples Democratic Reform Committee responsible; about 4% said the Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC), Election Commission and the Agriculture Ministry should take responsibility, while 0.14% held the new government responsible. About 37% of the farmers in the survey urged the government to immediately sell rice from the state stockpiles to pay them, about 29% said government should borrow to pay them, 23% asked the government to resign, 4% demanded their rice back and another 4% demanded cooperation among all related agencies to assist farmers.Around 43% of the respondents want the rice pledging scheme to be suspended; 34% want the program to continue with paddy price adjusted in line with the global price; about 18% want the scheme to continue without any change, while 1% say that the scheme could be replaced with a rice guarantee program.The rice mortgage program was introduced in October 2011 to help improve farmer income in Thailand. It will expire this month mainly due to political instability and lack of funds.
