Agriculture Research and Development Lacks Valuable Farmer Knowledge
May 27, 2014
During a recent meeting of Agrinatura, a coalition of 31 European universities doing agricultural research,
experts stressed the importance of cooperating with individual subsistence farmers in the research and
development (R&D) chain.Experts warned researchers against excluding farmers from R&D work, highlighting
the knowledge farmers can contribute and that their interests are a vital component of R&D work. Collectively,
small-scale producers are a valuable resource with a wealth of shared knowledge that has been developed and
refined over time in response to real world results.

Much of this generational knowledge is based on observation, not scientific testing, but scientists might find
this knowledge helpful as they develop new research.Bridging the gap between theory and practice, or scientists
and farmers, is not a new problem. Scientists are able to make better progress when they intimately understand
a farmers work. While researchers attitudes are slowly improving, longer funding cycles are also necessary,
as multi-stakeholder projects take longer to complete than the average length of a grant, which usually provides
funding for no more than four or five years.

The solution isnt as easy as simply asking farmers for their help. Farmers can only provide researchers
information about specific, local issues, and this information isnt always generalizable to the global
community. A better solution, according to the French-based Agricultural Research for Development, is to
develop representative regional and national farm organizations that can provide a collective voice to help
influence researchers work with farmers needs in mind.

Oryza U.S. Rough Rice Recap - Cash Prices Hold Steady Despite Tanking Futures;
USDA Estimates Planting 95% Complete
May 27, 2014
As of today, old crop offers could still be found around $16.33 per cwt fob farm (about $360 per ton) for June
shipment; however, as you look out into July and August sellers' price ideas increase to about $16.66 per cwt
fob farm (about $367 per ton). Given how much higher cash offers are compared to the futures market it has
been more attractive for some buyers to load out warehouse receipts than to source rice in the cash market, and
as a result, there were 27 warehouse receipts canceled overnight leaving 333 left on the exchange (30,303 tons).


Bids from most larger mills decreased to around $14.85 per cwt (about $327 per ton) for May-June delivery
while bids for exporters could still be found around $16.00 per cwt (about $353 per ton), for the same delivery
period. However, no trades were reported.

In the meantime, the USDA estimates that as of May 25th, 95% of the U.S. rice crop had been planted which
was 6% more of this this time last year and 4% more than the previous 5-year average. As of now, the USDA
estimates that farmers have planted at 95% of their rice crop in Arkansas, 90% in California, 99% in Louisiana,
91% in Mississippi, 95% in Missouri, and 98% in Texas.

The USDA estimates that 80% of the U.S. rice crop had emerged which was 6% more than this time last year
and 3% more than the previous 5-year average. As of now, the USDA estimates that 86% of the rice crop in
Arkansas has emerged compared to 50% in California, 97% in Louisiana, 83% in Mississippi, 84% in Missouri,
and 95% in Texas.

The USDA also considers 67% of the U.S. crop to be in good to excellent condition, which was up 1% from last
week, compared to 63% in Arkansas, 70% in California, 78% in Louisiana, 63% in Mississippi, 63% in
Missouri, and 48% in Texas.

Myanmar Strengthens Parboiling Rice Milling Capacity Amid Increasing Demand
May 27, 2014
Myanmar is constructing new parboiling rice mills in several parts of the country to meet increasing demand for
the country's parboiled rice abroad, according to local sources.According to Myanmar Agribusiness Public
Corporation (MAPC), the government has completed 90% of the mills construction and expects to make them
ready before the monsoon harvest. A MAPC Board Director noted that the new mills will have a combined


capacity between 200,000 tons an 300,000 tons of parboiled rice. He noted that ten imported steam-rice
machines from Japan, which can produce up to 1,800 tons of parboiled rice per day with proper electric supply,
are being installed in these mills.

Six machines are already installed, says a source from Myanmar Rice Millers Association. He says parboiled
rice mills with smaller capacities of 50-ton and 100-ton per day are also being constructed.Myanmar's parboiled
rice exports are likely to surge to 300,000 tons in the fiscal year 2014-15 (April - March), up almost nine times
from a mere 30,000 tons in 2013-14, according to the Myanmar Rice Industry Association (MRIA). The MRIA
Chairman noted that demand for Myanmar parboiled rice is increasing in the European markets, particularly in
Russia due to a decline in rice production.

Myanmar's total rice exports in FY 2013-14 declined about 29% to one million tons from previous year
because of reduced demand in China and political turmoil in Thailand, according to the MRIA Chairman. He,
however expects Myanmar to export up to 1.5 million tons of rice in FY 2014-15.USDA estimates Myanmar to
produce 12.15 million tons rice in MY 2014-15 (January - December) and export 1.3 million tons in 2014.

Thailand Remains in Political Crisis; Ruling Military Turns Attention to Repaying
Rice Farmers; Rice Prices May Increase
May 27, 2014
Uncertainty over a general election in Thailand is still persisting due to ongoing protests between pro- and anti-
government groups, according to the Wall Street Journal.The Army Chief, who said in a press conference that
he had received the royal endorsement for the military takeover, said discussions regarding election are going
on and decision on the final date would depend on the country's security environment. He did not as well rule
out the appointment of a new Prime Minister. The Military government has renamed itself as National Council
for Peace and Order (NCPO), say local sources.

They revealed that the Army Chief considering a governing body, which would oversee developmental aspects
in the country. He is reportedly keen to increase government spending and speed up the growth rate in the
country, which has been contracting since the beginning of this year. He is understood to have met with foreign
investors to reassure them that the military government would take all measures to put the Thai economy back
on track.However, analysts say Thailand's economic recovery largely depends on restoring democratic rule in
the country. They say a functional government could boost public spending in the country but private spending
is linked to a clear policy direction and political stability.


The NCPO has authorized the Finance Ministry to borrow and guarantee bond issuance by the Bank for
Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) worth a combined 92.4 billion baht ($2.8 billion) to pay
858,000 rice farmers. All the banks are understood to have lent their support to the Finance Ministry.

According to local sources, the Finance Ministry has invited 32 state and private banks to bid for the first phase
of a three-year program of bridge loans. It will open bidding for a term loan worth 30 billion baht ($919
million) on June 6, 2014 and another term loan worth 20 billion baht ($613 million) on June 13, 2014.In the
meantime, the Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) will start paying from its reserve of
around 40 billion baht ($1.2 billion). Local sources say the BAAC has already paid around 2 billion baht ($61
million) to farmers in some provinces. The NCPO is keen on completing all payments within a month. The
Head of the Thai Farmers Association expressed joy over the development.

The Commerce Ministry Permanent Secretary said government rice sales and government-to-government
(G2G) rice deals would continue. Thailand rice exporters have so far increased their rice export quotes by about
$5 per ton from last week and there are expectations that rice quotes will continue to advance.

Cheap Asian Rice Imports Impeding Growth of Local Rice Industry, Say Ugandan
Rice Millers
Ugandan rice millers have said
that cheap Asian rice imports
are impeding the growth of rice
sector in Uganda and other East
African nations, according to
local sources. They have
appealed to the East African
Community (EAC)
representatives in Uganda to ban
rice imports from Asia to help
local rice industry grow. They
also urged the EAC officials to
revise the country's rice policy
giving more prominence to local
rice production.They say
imported rice in Uganda as well
as in other East African states is
very competitive relative to
locally produced rice due to
high production costs. Reducing
the costs associated with
production, storage and


transportation is prima facie important for the growth of local rice industry, they add.The rice millers'
representative noted that the Uganda spends around Sh20 billion yearly (around $7.8 billion) on rice imports,
adding that diverting the same funds towards development of rice sector in the country would ensure "regional
self-sustenance on rice". He hailed Nigeria's plan to increase rice production and curb imports by
2015.According to a trade economist in the EAC Affairs Ministry, Uganda has potential to export rice and
currently exports rice that is left out after meeting the consumption needs. He added that the country had earned
around $1.2 billion from rice exports together in 2011 and 2012, according to UNCTAD statistics. However, he
says growing consumption needs demand more rice supply in the country, adding that Uganda's consumption
has increased three times faster than the increase in production during the last five years. Uganda produces only
65% of the required consumption demand and imports the remaining 35%. USDA estimates Uganda's milled
rice production at 150,000 tons and import 120,000 tons in MY 2014-15 (May 2014 - April 2015) to meet
consumption needs of 230,000 tons.

Philippines Releases List of Early-Maturing and Drought-Tolerant Rice Varieties to
Minimize El Nio Impact on Rice Production
May 27, 2014
The Philippines Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) has released a list of early-maturing and drought-tolerant rice
varieties for the upcoming wet-season crop cycle to fend -off effects of a possible El Nio on the country's rice
production.While early-maturing varieties could be harvested any time before the start of a possible drought,
drought-tolerant varieties could be used with limited water supply, the Agriculture Secretary told local
sources.The PhilRice has recommended drought-tolerant varieties PSB Rc10 (Pagsanjan), PSB Rc134 (Tubigan
4) and PSB Rc160 (Tubigan 14) for irrigated lowland and NSIC Rc192 (Sahod Ulan 1), PSB Rc14 (Rio
Grande) and PSB Rc68 (Sacobia) for rainfed lowlands. It has recommended early-maturing varieties such
as NSIC Rc272 (Sahod Ulan 2), NSIC Rc274 (Sahod Ulan 3), NSIC Rc276 (Sahod Ulan 4), NSIC Rc278
(Sahod Ulan 5), NSIC Rc280 (Sahod Ulan 6), NSIC Rc282 (Sahod Ulan 7), NSIC Rc284 (Sahod Ulan 8), NSIC
Rc286 (Sahod Ulan 9), NSIC Rc288 (Sahod Ulan 10), NSIC Rc346 (Sahod Ulan 11) and NSIC Rc348 (Sahod
Ulan 12) to combat drought associated El Nio pattern.

These varieties can yield up to 6.7 tons per hectare, according to the PhilRice. It also recommended PSB Rc80
(Pasig), PSB Rc9 (Apo) and PSB Rc23 (Katihan 1) for upland environments.One of the PhilRice breeders noted
that farmers could select a rice variety depending on the type of land they are cultivating. She said the PhilRice
would help farmers in seed distribution, providing technical support and relevant information. The Philippine
Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) predicted that El Nio would hit
the Philippines in the last quarter of 2014 and last till the first quarter of 2015. Pagasa stated that El Nio would
result in changes in normal rainfall pattern and dryness in most parts of the country.

Jordan Seeks Egyptian Rice, despite Export Ban, as Syrian Crisis Affects
Commercial Traffic to Jordan
May 27, 2014
Jordan's Ministry of Industry and Trade has formally requested the Egyptian Ministry of Industry and Foreign
Trade to allow Jordan to import around 200,000 tons Egyptian medium grain rice despite ongoing ban on rice
exports in Egypt, according to local sources.Rice is a staple food in Jordan, but Jordan does not produce any
rice due to water scarcity. Jordan mainly imports medium grain rice from Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S., and
other types of rice from Thailand, India and Pakistan. However, an ongoing crisis in Syria has been severely
impacting commercial traffic to Jordan, which in turn is leading to a decline in supplies of several commodities,
including rice, in the West Asian country.

On the other hand Egypt has an exportable surplus of around 800,000 - 850,000 tons rice, but the government
has banned exports in 2011 to control prices and ensure supplies for the country's subsidy program.It has to be
seen whether Egypt will consider Jordan's request and export rice despite the ongoing export ban. There are
instances in which Egypt had loosened its stance on exports in tune with market needs. In September 2012, the
Egyptian government allowed rice exports through an export licensing system and in November 2013, it
allowed export of 102,000 tons rice to provide support to falling prices. Also, the Egyptian Supplies Minister
told local media in the beginning of March this year the government may allow rice exports to help revive the
country's economy as well as to prevent illegal rice exports.

USDA estimates Jordan to import around 200,000 tons rice in 2014 to meet a consumption demand of 200,000
tons. It estimates Egypt to produce 4.88 million tons rice and export around 25,000 tons in MY 2013-14
(October 2013 - September 2014). Egypt's consumption needs during the year are around 4 million tons.The
Chairman of the Amman Chamber of Commerce told local media sources that Jordan government has requested
Egypt to export other commodities such as fruits as well to compensate for declining food supplies in the
country.

China Has the Last Laugh on Browns Import Argument
May 27, 2014
Is China having the last laugh with regards to what Lester Brown, the US environmental analyst and founder of
the Earth Policy Institute, said about China sharpening global competition for food?.Brown recently wrote an
essay titled, Can the World Feed China? in earth-policy.org to which China took offence. He wrote: The
world is transitioning from an era of abundance to one dominated by scarcity. Chinas turn to the outside world
for massive quantities of grain is forcing us to recognize that we are in trouble on the food front. Can we reverse


the trends that are tightening food supplies, or is the world moving toward a future of rising food prices and
political unrest?

He also elaborated on how as China increases its grain imports, it is in the league of other grain-importing
countries such as Japan, Mexico and Egypt. Result: Increase of food prices worldwide. Incidentally, Brown
picked on China 20 years ago also when he wrote a book called Who Will Feed China?

But Chinas agriculture ministry fought back Browns argument, especially his statement that the recent import
moves by China exemplify the new geopolitics of food scarcity that affects us all.

The ministry maintained that 97% of Chinas grain consumption comes from its own output, not imports.
Increase in grain imports to China arent due to domestic shortages, instead it is because global prices are
cheaper than domestic prices. It released data - imports accounted for 2.6% of domestic grain production
volume in 2013, and just 4% of global output to ascertain its stand as far as grain imports are concerned.

Is there a lesson here? Chinas effect on the global market may be more nuanced. For example,China may offer
a support floor to global rice prices, when they are cheaper than Chinas domestic prices, but China may also
provide a price ceiling when it reduces imports should global rice prices advance too high. What is too high?
Higher than Chinas domestic rice prices. Thus while China can drive prices higher, it can also push them
lower. Chinas influence on global food markets does not guarantee a non-stop runaway rally, food shortages,
and sustained high prices.China Has the Last Laugh on Browns Import Argument
