Louisianas rice crop could increase
over last years 412,000 acres,
Linscombe said. It may be too late to
replant flooded corn fields, and a portion
of that land could be used to grow rice.
By the end of the week, there wont be
too much left to plant in southwest
Louisiana, said AgCenter rice specialist
Dustin Harrell.Planting started in early
February, and Harrell estimated a third
of the crop had been planted before
March 10. Favorable weather this year,
unlike 2015, allowed farmers to drill-seed more of their rice.Farmers prefer to spread their
planting over a few weeks to prevent the rice from ripening and reaching desired moisture levels
all at once, Harrell said. I feel well be close to the acreage we had last year, he said.
Not much rice has been planted in northeast Louisiana, and Harrell expects it will be at least two
weeks before it gets fully underway. A lot of that ground is still underwater, he said.Andrew
Granger, AgCenter county agent in Vermilion Parish, said planting is 80 percent complete there.
Farmers who havent finished are probably still harvesting crawfish, or they dont typically plant
early, Granger said.Vermilion Parish rice acreage is likely to decrease by about 10-15 percent
this year to around 40,000. The price is the drag, he said.Todd Fontenot, AgCenter county
agent in Evangeline Parish, said farmers are taking advantage of the good weather. If theyre
not finished planting, theyre going to be finished this week.
Its moving along pretty fast, he said.Fontenot estimated 65 percent of the fields are planted
and doesnt expect an acreage change from 2015 in Evangeline Parish. Well be pretty much in
line with the 40,000 acres last year, he said.Jeremy Hebert, AgCenter county agent in Acadia
Parish, said planting is nearly finished. Its going very, very well, with extremely favorable
growing conditions, he said.Farmers are pleased with the stands. It seems like everything
planted has germinated, Hebert said.Acreage will be at least the same as last years 82,000
acres, he said. I havent heard of anybody reducing rice acreage.Frances Guidry, AgCenter
county agent in Jefferson Davis Parish, said planting has gone smoothly. Some are done. Some
actually were done in the middle of March, she said.Farmer Johnny Hensgens, of Calcasieu
Parish, said he only has 100 acres remaining, and he will be finished by weeks end.He finished
planting last year in March. I could have finished in March this year, but I held off, Hensgens
said.
He said some of his seed seemed reluctant to emerge after cool temperatures that followed rain,
but he didnt have a problem with blackbirds feeding on seed because he used AV-1011. Two
neighboring farmers who didnt use the product had blackbird problems, he said.Farmer
Clarence Berken, of Jefferson Davis Parish, said his planting went well. We couldnt have had
any better weather in terms of getting it out there and getting it done, he said.Berken said he
finished planting earlier than ever. I think everybody is satisfied with the way things have

S. Korean rice hits Chinese shelves for first time
2016/04/07 16:23
By Kim Boram
BEIJING, April 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korean
rice hit shelves in Beijing for the first time in
history on Thursday to meet rising Chinese
demand for Korean-made agricultural
products and foodstuffs.China's state-run
agricultural trading company COFCO Corp.
imported some 72 tons of South Korean rice
in February and put it on sale in an upscale
supermarket of BHG Indigo department store
in Beijing.It is the first time that the Korean
staple grain has been exported to China,
while South Korea imports 200,000 tons of
Chinese rice every year in accordance with the mandatory import quota set by the World Trade
Organization."Exports of rice represent our efforts to help South Korean agricultural products go
overseas," Agricultural Minister Lee Dong-phil said during a ceremony marking the arrival of
the Korean rice in Beijing.
"It also marks the first step to strike balance in the rice trade between the two countries." He
said he will make efforts to tap deeper into the world's biggest rice buyer that imports an annual
2.5 million tons.The Chinese sale of South Korean rice came nearly a decade after the Seoul
government asked Beijing to open the market, which had been blocked by the Chinese
government's tough quarantine requirements.In a Korea-China summit meeting in September last
year, their leaders agreed to ease quarantine regulations on South Korean rice.Following the
agreement, some 30 tons of rice went to Shanghai and 72 tons to Beijing since the beginning of
the year.
The South Korean government expects that a total 2,000 tons of rice will be shipped to China by
the end of this year, with the total amount of outbound shipments reaching 4,000 tons.Exports of
South Korean agricultural products to the world's second-largest economy have been on a steady
rise in recent years as the Korean Wave, or Hallyu, is spreading Korean culinary culture and
cuisine from TV dramas and the K-pop boom.Some US$1 billion won worth of South Korean
food was sold in China last year, with the figure projected to rise to $1.4 billion this year. South

the first export of Korean rice to China in Beijing on April 7, 2016. (Photo courtesy of the

Thai rice exporters sign MOU to sell 150,000 tons of rice

to Hong Kong
BY EDITORON 2016-04-07THAILAND
BANGKOK: Thai exporters yesterday entered a memorandum of understanding

agreement with Hong Kong rice importers to sell 150,000 tons of quality rice.The signing of
MOU was witnessed by the commerce minister Mrs Aphiradee Tantraporn. Under the MOU,
seven Hong Kong companies agreed to buy 150,000 tons of rice from Thai rice exporters.The
deal is estimated to be worth 120 million USD.The Commerce Ministry has plans to increase
Thailands market share in Hong Kong from 57% to 65% for 2016. This will represent a total of
no less than 200,000 tons of Thai rice exports to the former colony.The ministry also has plans to
further increase this amount to 300,000 tons within the next 1 2 years.Official estimate for Thai
rice exports for this year is that the target of 9 9.5 million tons will be met.
However it is still lower than last years rice exports which were 10 million tons.This is due
almost entirely to the national drought crisis which had caused production to drop.There are
altogether 12 million tons of rice stocks remaining which will not help market prices for Thai
white rice to increase any time soon.As a consequence, the Ministry of Commerce has been
forced to revise its marketing plans to focus more on the quality of Thai rice.Markets targeted for
high quality rice are primarily in the Asian region such as Hong Kong, Singapore, China and the
US which have higher purchasing power.In order for the plan to be successful the ministry has
had to garner the cooperation of the private sector as well as farmers. Higher production quality
has been specified for rice farmers focusing on planting Rice Berry and organic rice crops

while the private sector has been tasked with coming up with effective marketing
programs.These efforts have enabled the ministry to confidently assert that Thailands rice
exports will see a marked increase within this year, according to the Commerce minister.

Rice millers face cash flow problems due to dodgy

middlemen

Rice millers face cash flow problems due to dodgy middlemen
BANGKOK, 7 April 2016 (NNT) The Thai Rice Mills Association has called on the
government to protect rice mill operators from suspicious exporters and middlemen.
The association held a seminar that was attended by more than
200 rice millers. Secretary-General of the Thai Rice Mills
Association Kriengsak Tapananon said many rice millers are
having cash flow problems, which he blamed on intermediaries who failed to compensate
producers. Mr. Kriengsak wants the government to mediate negotiations between rice millers
and supply chain middlemen.President of the Thai Rice Mills Association Manas Kitprasert said
that rice farmers have also been affected by the rice millers cash flow problems. The lack of
funds has forced rice millers to scale back their rice purchases from farmers. The knock-on effect
will likely introduce fluctuations in the rice market.

Summary: "He said state's 200 varieties of rice were screened of which local variety called
"Chaptigurmatiya" was discovered, which was re-named as Chhattisgarh Madhuraj paddy-55. Hence,
objective of this study was to determine the variability in GI of popular improved and traditional varieties
of rice and to find the genetic basis of GI. "In its options, diabetic patients are advised to consume brown
rice or unpolished rice, which is low in GI but its taste is still unpopular among rice-eaters hence this
CGMP-55 is a blend of taste and healthy values for diabetics," Chandel said.It may take another year
before the rice hits market.
It is consumed by natives of Chhattisgarh, who claim that it is the best stomach-filler and one's appetite
remains in control many hours of eating it. Raipur: Indira Gandhi Agriculture University (IGKV) in
Chhattisgarh has developed Chhattisgarh Madhuraj paddy- 55, a slow sugar releasing variety of rice,
which is good in taste and is considered suitable for consumption by diabetic type-II patients.IGKV
principal scientist Dr Girish Chandel, professor in department of plant molecular Biology and
Biotechnology, took three years to develop this variety of paddy.Dr G R Sahu and AK Sarawgi of IGKV
assisted in the project.

increasing, while various studies indicate that choice of carbohydrates, particularly those with
low Glycaemic Index (GI) is able to assist in management or prevention of type II diabetes.
Hence, objective of this study was to determine the variability in GI of popular improved and
traditional varieties of rice and to find the genetic basis of GI."He said state's 200 varieties of rice
were screened of which local variety called "Chaptigurmatiya" was discovered, which was renamed as Chhattisgarh Madhuraj paddy-55. He said this variety has low GI with 91% of total
carbohydrates and it has slow releasing sugar tendencies, which was discovered after mouse
feeding trials by Chhattisgarh Council of Science of Technology.Chandel said this variety has
high yield of 42 quintal per hectare and is long bold grain rice, which is white in colour.
It is consumed by natives of Chhattisgarh, who claim that it is the best stomach-filler and one's
appetite remains in control many hours of eating it. "In its options, diabetic patients are advised

We want to make Gambia net rice exporter

Thursday, April 07, 2016
The Deputy Director at the Agribusiness Technical Service Unit

under the Department of Agriculture, Aba Sankareh, has said the
Department of Agriculture through its line ministry is working hard
to make The Gambia a net rice exporter rather than a net rice
importer.Achieving this needs concerted efforts of all stakeholders in
the value chain actors in rice, ranging from producers, to transporters,
processors, marketers and importers, he said, while delivering a
statement at a days consultative rice stakeholders meeting held at Tango.
The meeting was organised by the Agribusiness Service Unit with support from the Gambia Commercial
Agriculture and Value Chain Management Project (GCAV).The meeting discussed the feasibility of a
partnership agreement between rice producers, processors and importers, as well as strengthening publicprivate partnerships.The projects objective of this component is to improve the rice value chain and
coordination, through support to SMEs and producer organisations, to enhance their productive capacity
and competitiveness and develop market linkages, Mr Sankareh said.The subcomponent will facilitate
farmers access to market by creating and supporting commercial partnership between farmers,
organisations and private agribusinesses, he said.
This, he noted, would foster the integration of a greater number of smallholder producers in performing
and remunerative value-chain by developing and implementing public-private alliance in the project areas
aimed at improving market linkages.According to Mr Sankareh, the forum was also held to bring all the
rice actors and players together to discuss what to be done, or what strategy or plans would be put in place
to see that The Gambia is able to graduate in the next year to be a net exporter of rice.This was one of
the fundamental aspects that led to organising the consultative meeting to share ideas, experience and
expertise, as well as to discuss challenges affecting the rice value chain, and carve a way forward in the
best interest of the Gambian populace in achieving self-sufficiency in rice, he said.
Mr Sankareh also dilated on the importance attached to the GCAV project, and called for better publicprivate partnerships to be able to make head way in agricultural production.He said GCAV is a project
that is focusing on two commodities: vegetable and rice, adding that they are trying to effect partnerships
with members of the private sector through the value chain on vegetable and rice.For the national
requirement to be met in rice, the nation should be able to attain about one hundred thousand plus metric
tonnes of rice.We have visions in place like Vision 2016, Vision 2020 and now Vision 2025, he said,
adding that the objective of Vision 2016 is: eat what you grow and grow what you and at the same time
trying to make The Gambia a net rice exporter rather than a net rice importer.
They are also trying to promote private sector investment in the rice sector, he said, adding that in most
countries private sector-led agriculture is the goal when it comes to investment.According to Mr

Sankareh, the outcome of the meeting would be forwarded to the policymakers, because their role is also
very crucial.

Govt waives VAT to support rice millers

Fri, 8 April 2016
Post Staff
A worker carries a bucket of freshly milled rice at a small milling operation on the outskirts of Phnom
Penh in 2012. Pha Lina
Agricultural products have been granted an exemption from the value-added tax (VAT) as part of
a government effort to support local rice farmers and millers, according to a prakas issued
Wednesday by the General Taxation Department.The prakas, effective immediately, aimed to
reduce the cost farmers pay for seeds and rice millers must pay for paddy, making rice
production more price-competitive, the prakas said

Colour me yellow
Celebrate spring and summer with tehri, a potent one-pot rice dish from the Hindi heartland
The first time I had to describe tehri to someone, I was at a loss. More difficult than explaining
the simple dish was accepting the fact that there was someone who did not know what tehri was.

After all, I had grown up eating it every other day. As luck would have it, in the years to come, I
had to describe the dish many times over, to many people. And so I adopted a simple shortcut: I
called it yellow pulav. It is another matter altogether that tehri and pulav are as different as
chalk and cheese; their only similarity is that they are rice dishes. The differences I usually leave
for my culinary skills to explain.A staple of vegetarian households in the dusty small towns of
Uttar Pradesh, tehri is a potent one-pot meal that owes its origin to the vegetarian employees of
the Nawabs of Awadh, who could not eat the meaty biryani, and invented a vegetarian
counterpart
which
was
simpler
to
make.
Another
story
g
oes that during the time of famine, when meat was hard to find, the cooks of the royal kitchen
substituted mutton with potatoes, and thus was born tehri.Unlike pulav or biryani, tehri is neither
rich nor ceremonial, but an ordinary meal for ordinary people. And in that ordinariness lies its
specialty. Although cooked throughout the year, it is in spring that the true character of the dish
comes out, when other than potatoes, peas and cauliflower are also added to it.
One does not know if the rice dish got its colour from spring or if spring adopted tehri for its rich
yellow colour, but when bright yellow flowers blossom on the rich soil of the Hindi heartland, a
pot of tehri is certainly being cooked somewhere.
Tehri
Ingredients:
2 cups long-grain basmati rice, soaked for 20-30 minutes
1 cup shelled green peas
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 large onion sliced
1 large potato cut into 4

50 ml cooking oil (mustard oil preferred)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 to 1.5 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp ghee
2.5 cups water
Method:
In a large, thick-bottomed pressure cooker, pour the oil and heat till smoking point.
When the oil begins to smoke, add bay leaves, cumin seeds, and onion. Stir.
When the onion turns translucent, add the potatoes and the cauliflower.
Stir for another couple of minutes and add the turmeric, coriander powder and red chilli powder.
When the vegetables turn a light shade of brown, and the spices are cooked, add the soaked rice
and stir gently for about a minute, until every grain is covered in oil. Make sure the rice does not
break.
Add shelled peas and water.
Finally add salt, garam masala and ghee, and give it another stir. Close the cooker.
Turn the stove off after the first whistle and let the rice cook in its own steam.
Open the cooker after about 10 minutes; serve immediately with plain curd, fresh coriander
chutney, or pickle.
Best eaten in the warm spring sun, among flying kites and playful banter.

Note: In summer, the dish can easily be made without the peas and cauliflower: just increase the
quantity of potatoes. Soaked soya nuggets can also be added.

On the Ground in Cuba

By Mark Isbell
HAVANA, CUBA -- Two rice state
representatives, Congressman Rick Crawford (RAR) and Congressman Ralph Abraham (R-LA),
traveling with producers and millers from both
states were welcomed here yesterday by Cuban
Director of Foreign Trade and Investment Maria
de la Luz B'Hamel Ramirez and the Director
General of Alimport Alejandro Mustelier."We
are trying to break down barriers here," said
Crawford. "What we are doing is about more
than just Arkansas and Louisiana. This could
open up a floodgate of economic opportunity for
all Americans." Of the two-state delegation
currently on the ground in Cuba, USA Rice
President & CEO Betsy Ward said, "USA Rice is
in complete support of these efforts to improve
relations with Cuba. We need people there
talking about what open trade with the U.S.
means, namely quality, quantity, and stability of
supply.
And we also need to encourage
legislative efforts to lift the trade embargo that
will allow for free and unfettered trade."
The delegation will be in Cuba through Saturday and is scheduled to visit the Agriculture University and
an agricultural cooperative among other agenda items.The author is part of a multi-generation rice farm in
central Arkansas focused on zero-grade farming and rice behind rice rotation. He is also an alumnus of
the Rice Leadership Development Program.

Taiwan Emerging as New Market for Southern Medium and Long Grain Rice
By Bill Farmer

TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- Southern U.S. rice has taken a greater share of the Taiwan import market over the
past two years. Taiwan began looking at southern U.S. long grain and medium grain rice to comply with
their Country Specific Quota (CSQ)-USA commitment in 2014. They purchased 11,000 tons of long
grain and 18,000 ton of medium grain from the South which arrived in Taiwan in the spring of 2015.
Seizing on the heightened interest in these new U.S. varieties as well as California short and medium
grain rice, USA Rice conducted a trade seminar in August 2015 for rice importers, rice wholesalers, food
processers, and foodservice end-users. The 2015 purchases from the South were 19,084 tons of long
grain and 38,000 tons of medium grain, totaling 57,084 tons, or about one percent of total U.S. exports.
USA Rice Vice President of International Promotion Jim Guinn said, "While it is too early to speculate on
Taiwan's import pattern for 2016, price will likely remain a key determinant in Taiwan's government
purchases and private sector importers may look for the most competitively priced U.S. medium
grain."As a condition of joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2002, Taiwan agreed to import
a total of 144,720 MT of rice (brown rice basis) each year, of which 65 percent (94,068 MT) is to be
imported by the public sector and 35 percent (50,652 MT) by the private sector. As a result, Taiwan is
the third largest export market for U.S. rice in Asia after Japan and South Korea.

Taiwan has a Country Specific Quota (CSQ) commitment for U.S. rice of 64,634 MT (brown basis) per
year. U.S. rice accounted for 43.7 percent of all rice imports into Taiwan in 2015 (a value of $43 million
U.S. dollars) and competes with Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia for that market share.
The island nation, with a population of 23 million, produces short grain (japonica) rice in quantities to
supply about ninety percent of domestic consumption. The remaining ten percent is imported under the
WTO Tariff Rate Quota System. Imports above the total WTO commitment are not permitted, and this
has the effect of keeping the internal price in Taiwan above the world price for comparable rice. USA
Rice and Taiwan officials will hold the first U.S.-Taiwan Rice Technical Meeting at the end of this month
in Taipei. The U.S. delegation will include shippers from California and the South, and discussion will
focus on non-policy issues, such as rice inspection and grading and the operation of Taiwan's
simultaneous-buy-sell tender system, in the rice trade between the two partners.
El Nio-ready technologies intensified
The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhiRice) recommends the use of drought-tolerant varieties and
technologies to help farmers cope with the ongoing El Nio phenomenon. Rice normally grows at
temperatures between 20-35C. Reports have indicated that temperatures above 35C is critical for rice
growth especially during the reproductive stage. At present, temperature may reach up to 38 to 40C,
said Dr. Norvie Manigbas, PhilRice plant breeder. According to studies, rice yield can decrease by 10%
for each 1C increase in minimum night temperature during the dry season. Dr. Jasper G. Tallada, head of

the Institutes Climate Change Center said, Drought affects all stages of rice growth. It does not only
reduce water supply but also increases the amount of water needed for plant transpiration.
Varieties
For irrigated lowland, farmers may consider planting several early-maturing varieties such as PSB Rc10
(Pagsanjan), NSIC Rc130 (Tubigan 3) and NSIC Rc152 (Tubigan 10). Pagsanjan matures in 106 days
with a maximum yield of 7.5t/ha. Tubigan 3 matures in 108 days with a maximum yield of 7.6t/ha while
Tubigan 10 matures in 109 days with a maximum yield of 8.7t/ha.
Farmers may also plant NSIC Rc134 (Tubigan 4), an early-maturing variety (107 days) with a maximum
yield of 9.8t/ha and NSIC Rc160 (Tubigan 14) also an early-maturing variety (107 days) with a maximum
yield of 8.2t/ha. For rainfed lowland, farmers may choose from NSIC Rc192 (Sahod Ulan 1), PSB Rc14
(Rio Grande), and PSB Rc68 (Sacobia). Sahod Ulan 1 matures in 106 days with a maximum yield of
5.5t/ha. Rio Grande matures in 110 days with a maximum yield of 6.1t/ha. Sacobia matures in 116 days
with a maximum yield of 4.4t/ha. These varieties are also known for their drought-tolerant properties
preferable in areas where El Nio is expected to hit worst.
Drought-tolerant varieties for the uplands include PSB Rc80 (Pasig), PSB Rc9 (Apo), and NSIC Rc23
(Katihan 1). Pasig can yield up to 8.7t/ha and matures in 112 days. Apo matures in 119 days with a
maximum yield of 5.6 t/ha while Katihan 1 matures in 108 days with a maximum yield of 7.6t/ha. Use of
direct seeding technologies can also help farmers cope up with El Nino so that rice plants can escape
drought or heat. Direct seeded rice matures earlier by 7-10 days compared to transplanted culture due to
stress during transplanting, Manigbas said.
Technologies
For water-saving technologies, PhilRice recommends the alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and lowcost drip irrigation system (LDIS) technologies. Developed by IRRI, AWD guides farmers when to
irrigate (or not) the rice field. Hence, this prevents wasteful use of water. PhilRice studies show that use
of AWD also minimizes greenhouse gas emissions in paddy fields. LDIS is also for efficient use of water
and is recommended for irrigating rice-based crops.
Meanwhile, the use of fossil fuel-free technologies such as the rice hull gasifier-pump system, windmillpump system, rice hull stove, and carbonizer lessens production cost and is environment-friendly.
The rice hull gasifier-pump system uses rice hull instead of gasoline or diesel in pumping water from the
ground. It is recommended for rainfed areas where fuel expenses are high. The wind mill-pump system is

applicable in areas where wind energy is abundant. A device called rice hull carbonizer processes the rice
hull into biochar (charcoal). Aside from being used as soil conditioner, biochar is also popular as main
ingredient in producing organic fertilizers, thus reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. Farmers,
extension workers, or anyone interested may download the information materials from the Institutes
website or contact the PhilRice Text Center (0920-911-1398).
PhilRices Lakbay-Palay teaches farmers on climate changeready technologies
In the light of the El Nio phenomenon, farmers learned climate change-ready technologies in rice
production during the recently concluded Lakbay-Palay at the PhilRices Central Experiment Station in
Nueva Ecija, March 31 and April 1.Through field tours and open forum, rice experts taught farmers how
to cope with climate change by using climate-smart technologies such as the alternate wetting and drying
(AWD) technology, ecological engineering, and rice-based agribiosystems.AWD, developed by IRRI, is a
technology to efficiently manage water in the rice fields. The technology is relevant in water scarce areas.
Ecological engineering, on the other hand, is a strategy to manage rice pests by planting ornamentals near
the rice paddies.The rice-based agribiosystems complex showed how farmers can diversify their income
by venturing into other rice-based enterprises. Specifically, the mushroom production was highlighted.
We intend to show the various strategies farmers can do to cope with climate change, says Dr. Calixto
M. Protacio, PhilRice executive director. Lakbay-Palay is a PhilRice major activity done twice yearly,
one each for dry and wet seasons. It gathers thousands of farmers as well as students, researchers, and
decision makers from different provinces. More than 2,000 farmers from Iloilo, Ilocos, and Central Luzon
provinces participated in the said event. PhilRice also showed its Palayabangan site, a contest among rice
producers, individuals or institutions, aimed at reducing cost of production. The target is to show how to
produce 10 tons of rice at P5/kg input. Reducing production cost is central to making the Filipino farmers
competitive in the ASEAN economic integration regime. Usapang Magsasaka technology videos on
AWD and ecological engineering were launched during the event. Philippine Crop Insurance Company
President, Atty. Jovy C. Bernabe and DA Sec. Proceso J. Alcala served as guest speakers. Wet season
Lakbay-Palay is slated in September this year.

Bhutanese minister wants more collaboration with BRRI

Our Correspondent
GAZIPUR, Apr 7: Minister for Agriculture

and Forests of the Royal government of
Bhutan Mr. Lyonpo Yeshey Dorji wants
more collaboration with Bangladesh Rice
Research Institute (BRRI) to make his
country surplus in rice production. The
Minister expressed this interest on
Wednesday morning while he was visiting
BRRI in Gazipur. BRRI Director General
Dr. Jiban Krishna Biswas extended a
cordial welcome to the visiting Minister
and his associates at the institute and
briefed about the institute's contributions
over the years in making Bangladesh a food surplus country.
He also discussed ways and means to strengthen collaboration between BRRI and Bhutan in an
opinion exchange meeting held at the BRRI conference room. Additional Secretary of the
Bangladesh Ministry of Agriculture Mohammed Fazle Wahed Khandaker, BRRI Director
(Administration and Common Service) Dr. Mohammed Shahjahan Kabir, BRRI
Director (Research) Dr. Ansar Ali, Coordinator for Advanced Studies and Research Dr.
Mohammed Abu Saleque, Heads of the research divisions of the institute, the senior scientists
and officials along with representatives of SAARC Agriculture centre attended the meeting.
Mr. Dorji's visit was aimed at exchanging ideas between BRRI scientists, policy makers as well
as the partners beyond borders and enhancing collaboration through knowledge sharing. During
the discussion, the speakers stressed also on the need for quick dissemination of modern rice
production technologies including farm machinery, seeds of stress tolerant rice varieties as well
as how farmers are trying to cope with unfavourable environments using high yielding rice
varieties and other inputs at the farm level. Mentioning Bangladesh's extraordinary success in

rice production, the Minister expressed his government's willingness to make Bhutan a rice
surplus country. For this he said that BRRI developed high yielding rice varieties along with the
production technologies can be useful in that country as well. mdshaheen71@gmail.com

Seeds stay sheltered from ravages of war, weather

April 7, 2016 7:00pm
FIONA MYERSThe Weekly Times
Safe keeping: Tim Fischer with seeds from his Boree Creek farm going into the Svalbard global seed bank
in Norway, which has proved its worth in recent times.THE Crop Trusts work to preserve the worlds
seedbank has already paid dividends.Seeds stored in its Norwegian seed facility by Syrian crop
researchers have been accessed to restart a breeding program that was destroyed by ISIS.Its a key
example of what the Crop Trust can achieve, according to its board vice-chair and former deputy prime
minister Tim Fischer, who spoke in Rutherglen last week.The Crop Trust runs the Svalbard Global Seed
Vault in Norway.It was established in 2008 as a fail-safe facility to provide back up for existing gene bank

collections.There are 864,309 different seed varieties stored in the vault including rice, wheat, potatoes,
apples and coconut, sourced from countries across the world, including Australia and even North Korea.
Explaining benefits: Mr Fischer speaking at Rutherglen last week.There are 1700 other gene banks
worldwide that hold collections of food crops, but sometimes they came under threat from natural
disasters or war.Mr Fischer said it was always acknowledged as an essential idea, but the vaults stores
had been put to good use in two recent occasions.One was when the International Centre for
Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas in Syria had to move its research because of the nations civil war,
which includes terrorist group ISIS.It has now re-established its research work in Lebanon thanks to
seeds it had stored in the vault.Another was when the International Rice Research Institutes seed bank
in the Philippines was damaged, and rice breeding would also have been lost if not for the global seed
vault.Mr Fischer said all those who submitted seeds to the seed vault retained ownership.
Every box that goes in the vault, the ownership remains with the national government or research
organisation that submitted it, he said.And people can pull them out when they need it.Storage fees
are not charged, but the board of the global seed trust will this year consider the issue of charging
commercial companies that want to store seed.And it was vital that seeds were collected from both
farmed and wild varieties.We need to collect seeds for the sake of the chance they might be useful
down the track, Mr Fischer said.The Crop Trust will hold a pledging conference in Washington DC this
month in an attempt to secure funding for the continuation of the vault, which was established by the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Norwegian Government.It costs $US34 million a year to run,
and the conference aims to start an $US850 million endowment fund.
