Iran Extends Deadline for Registration of

Rice, Other Basic Commodities Importers
Jul 27, 2015
The government of Iran has extended deadline for registration of rice, milling wheat, vegetable
oil and raw sugar importers until August 17 from August 6, Bloomberg quoted the Deputy
Managing Director for Foreign Trade at Iran's Governmental Trading Corporation.
However, no decision has been made about the volume of rice and other commodities to be
imported, the official told reporters.
Iran has temporarily banned rice imports from November 2014 citing excess stocks as reason.
Iran primarily imports basmati rice from India and accounts for nearly 30% of India's total
basmati rice exports. The Middle East nation imported around 900,000 tons of rice in 2014-15
compared to around 1.44 million tons in 2013-14.
Meanwhile, Pakistan, which was once a major rice exporter to Iran in 2010-11, is planning to
revive basmati rice exports to Iran after the lifting of sanctions, the Acting Chairman of the Rice
Exporters Association (REAP) was quoted.
Pakistan, which exported about 3.72 million tons of rice in 2014-15 is planning to increase
exports to 6 million tons after Iran's lifting of sanctions, he said.
Pakistan is expecting to produce around 7 million tons of milled rice in 2015-16 compared to
around 5.5 million tons in 2014-15.
Cambodia May Lose EU Market Share if

EU-Vietnam Bilateral FTA Materializes, Say
Exporters
Jul 27, 2015

Page 3

Cambodian rice exporters are worried of losing market share in the European Union (EU) market
if the EU-Vietnam Bilateral Free Trade Agreement (EU-V BFTA) is finalized, according to local
sources.Under the proposed deal, EU is planning to import around 76,000 tons of rice, mostly
husked and milled, from Vietnam at zero percent duty.
The EU imports rice from Asian least developed countries (LDCs) such as Cambodia and
Myanmar at zero percent duty under the Everything but Arms (EBA) policy. Currently,
Cambodia accounts for about 250,000 tons yearly or 22% of annual EU rice imports.
The President of a leading exporting company told local sources that if the EU-V BFTA is
finalized, it would pose a great challenge to the Cambodian rice sector. He noted that Cambodia
will have to compete with Vietnam and will certainly lose a part of the market share in the EU
market to the neighboring country. In the short-term, it will limit growth in rice production and
exports, as well as the investment needed to improve the sector, he was quoted as saying.
He noted that Cambodia needs to improve its production capacity and logistical services to
remain competitive. Especially, farmers need to improve paddy production yield and quality, he
said. He also added that the government needs to support farmers and millers by provide
requisite financing facilities to boost stocks of paddy for export, building adequate warehouse
and dryer machines as well as help them reduce storage and transportation costs.

Page 4

However, some analysts say Cambodia can focus more on fragrant rice exports to the EU in
order to sustain the tough competition from Vietnam.
A former senior advisor to Cambodia Rice Federation noted that exports to the EU constitute
about 60% of Cambodia's rice exports and there is a need to diversify the export markets to
reduced dependence on the EU market. Cambodia should also double efforts to diversify to
other Asian markets, like China and Malaysia, and Africa, which remains a much untapped
destination, he said.
Ebola Virus Continues to Wage Havoc on

West Africa, Lowering Rice Production in
Sierra Leone
Jul 27, 2015
Sierra Leone is nearly done planting its new rice crop, and while weather has been beneficial, the
Ebola viruss toll on communities has curtailed farming activities, according to a FAO GIEWS
Country Brief.
In 2014, the Ebola outbreak is estimated to have reduced the nations food crop by about 5% and
milled rice production alone which accounts for 85% of cereal production - declined 8% to an
estimated 770,000 tons, according to FAO. This has set the country back in reaching selfsufficiency in rice production and has resulted in higher domestic rice prices and food security
issues.
Italy Milled Rice Exports Increase 3.8% y/y

to 113,068 Tons in September 1, 2014 - July
21, 2015
Jul 27, 2015
Italy has exported around 113,068 tons of milled rice in September 1, 2014 - July 21, 2015, up
about 3.8% from around 108,734 tons exported during the same period last year.
Turkey is the largest buyer of Italian rice during the period with 36,106 tons, followed by
Switzerland (14,487 tons), Lebanon (12,245 tons), U.S. (9,352 tons) and Syria (6,994 tons). Italy

also exported rice to Jordan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Australia, Kosovo, Brazil, Russia,
Canada, Norway and Israel.
Italy exported around 86,361 tons of Long-A variety, up about 23% from around 70,212 tons
exported last year. Italy's round varieties exports increased about 41% to around 15,659 tons
from around 11,106 tons last year; and Italy's medium varieties exports increased about 49% to
around 3,605 tons from around 2.419 tons last year. However, export of Long B varieties
declined about 54% to around 7,443 tons during the period from around 16,180 tons last year.
Iraq Still Considering Tender to Purchase At

Least 30,000 Tons of Rice Due to High Prices
Jul 27, 2015

Thailand Postpones Auction for 1.29 Million

Tons of Sub-Standard Rice to August 2015
Jul 27, 2015
The government of Thailand, which planned to hold an auction to sell about 1.29 million tons of
sub-standard rice in early July has decided to postpone it to August to allow officials to conduct
the rice separation process thoroughly, according to local sources.
The Commerce Ministry officials, academics, the National Farmers Council, surveyors, rice
sellers and the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) are involved in separating low
quality rice from the good one meant for consumption as well as estimating the cost of
improving the grains for various purposes. They will also decide whether to sell rice in smaller
portions or as an entire silo.

Page 7

Last week, the Commerce Ministry officials said all private traders would be allowed to take part
in the auction.
The Minister assured the public that rotten and fungal-contaminated rice will not be mixed with
rice meant for consumption and terms of each auctions will specify the industries targeted for the
auction and officials would be assigned to follow up the process and delivery of the rice to
respective destinations.
He also noted that the auction of around 400,000 - 500,000 tons of good quality rice meant for
consumption that was planned in the last week of July would go ahead as scheduled.

Myanmar Prepares to Send First Legal Rice

Export Shipment to China
Jul 27, 2015
The Myanmar Agribusiness Public

Company Limited (MAPCO) will
export 3,000 Tons of Rice to China,
part of the 100,000 tons to be
exported to China under a
memorandum of understanding
(MoU)
signed
between
the
Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF)
and China's National Cereals, Oils
and
Foodstuffs
Corporation
(COFCO), according to local
sources.While nine companies,
including MAPCO, Myanmar Rice
Mill, FPR from the Myanmar Rice Traders Association, Golden Land East Asia, MRDC from
Mandalay region, a company from Yangons Bayintnaung commodities market, Ayer-Pathein
company from Ayeyarwady Region, SPRDC formed by Muse traders and Rakhine Ethnic Rice
Company, have been granted permission to export rice to China under the MoU, the MAPCO

The MAPCO has reportedly invited companies to invest about one million kyat (around $9,043)
each and MAPCO will coordinate buying and selling rice with this investment.China is a major
destination for Myanmar rice, but most of the rice is exported to China through Myanmar's

August 2014 seeking a trade agreement between the two countries. China is particular that the
exported rice meets its quality and health standards.Myanmar exported about 1.8 million tons of
rice in FY 2014-15, of which around 1.1 million tons were exported to China.
USDA estimates Myanmar to produce 20 million tons of paddy rice (around 12.8 million tons,
