Five years after setting out an ambitious 1 million-tonne milled rice export
target, the rice sector fell well short of the mark last year, exporting close to
550,000 tonnes, with industry experts cautiously optimistic over export
increases in 2016.The Agriculture Ministrys report, released on Friday,
shows that rice exports in 2015 were up 39 per cent compared to 2014, with
exports shipping 538,000 tonnes of milled rice, with the sector managing
387,000 tonnes in 2014.The completion of a 100,000-tonne export quota to
China in April made the country the largest destination for Cambodian rice,
followed by France and Poland. Jasmine and fragrant rice, led by phka
romduol and phka malis, continued to dominate exports, accounting for 51
per cent of shipments, whereas 41 per cent of exports were white rice.We
are always seeking negotiations for new quotas to China, which is the main
reason for increasing rice exports and an achievement of the government,
Vanhan said.Vanhan added that in order to fulfill Chinas high standard
requirement a result of the Kingdom inking a new rice quota late last year
the ministry was inspecting the capacity of rice millers, as well as keeping
an eye on hygiene and phytosanitary requirements.He added that the
drought situation affecting parts of the country would have only a slight
impact on exports, but that there was 4 million tonnes of paddy in storage
that could be used for exports this year.While Cambodian exporters are
making progress towards the 1 million-tonne target, Yang Saing Koma,
former president of the Cambodia Center for Study and Development in
Agriculture, said there would be an increase in exports this year, albeit a
small one.

The potential of milled rice exports is still limited, because there are no measures to control the
cost of production he said.Long-talked about issues, such as the lack of capital, high
transportation and electricity costs, were going to inhibit farmers from making progress on
improving their production, according to Koma.Irrigation and technical expertise for rice
farmers is still limited, as a result farmers cannot get high yields of rice, he said.

In 2013, a free trade pact was signed between Pakistan and Indonesia
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) Pakistan and Indonesia have inked a rice deal under free trade pact that
was signed in 2013, Dunya News reported Friday.Ministry of Trade has stated that Indonesias State
Logistic Company has made a deal with Trade Corporation of Pakistan for import of rice.According to

Indonesia is mulling importing rice from India as the country struggles with a temporary
shortage of the staple food product in early 2016, the countrys trade minister said Wednesday.
Last years prolonged El Nio had resulted in the rice planting season in Indonesia being postponed,
leading to depleted rice stocks in the first quarter of 2016. While officials expect domestic production to
rise again by April, Jakarta has nonetheless been looking for new import sources to fill the current
shortfall and to forestall price hikes.On Wednesday, Trade Minister Thomas Lembong said that Indonesia
was considering signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with India. New Delhi, which exports
around 10 million tons of rice a year, vied with Thailand for the title of worlds top rice exporter last year
according to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
We also encourage the signing of a memorandum of understanding with India, he said according to The
Jakarta Post.In December last year, Lembong had told Indias ambassador to Indonesia Gurjit Singh that
Jakarta would move to include India in a list of countries from which rice imports could be authorized.
Lembong is reportedly expected to broach the subject of the MoU on rice during his scheduled visit to
India, which will take place from January 28 to 29 and will include a meeting with his Indian counterpart.
The two Asian giants will also discuss collaboration in pharmaceuticals as well as the state of their overall
economic relationship.If reached, the deal would be a boost for Indonesia. Jakarta had struggled to reach
rice deals with Thailand and Vietnam last year and has been considering a number of other options. Just
this week, a deal was finalized with Pakistan which will see the export of one million tons of rice valuing
around $400 million over the next four years.
The rice agreement, executed by the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) and the State Logistics
Agency (Bulog) of Indonesia, is the first that Jakarta has reached with a non-Southeast Asian
country.Other rice import options which the Indonesian government has considered include Myanmar and
Cambodia, both fellow members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

If certain environmental warriors were active several decades ago, the so-called miracle rice
might never have been developed at the International Rice Research Institute in Los Baos,
Laguna. Instead in 1969, the IRRI received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for International
Understanding for seven years of interdisciplinary collaboration among Asian and Western
scientists to achieve radical, rapid advances in rice culture and consequently easing global
hunger.
Specifically cited was a super rice variety designed for the tropics, which is non-photosensitive
and can be planted at any season. At the time of the conferment of the award, breeders were
seeking to make the new rice varieties more resistant to pests and disease.Such improved
varieties do not materialize with the wave of a magic wand or by drowning them in chemicals.
The plants need tinkering at a molecular level. This was what scientists were working on in
developing a more pest-resistant eggplant, until the Supreme Court, responding to a petition,
stepped in last month and stopped field-testing of the genetically modified vegetable.As
agricultural biotechnologists and other members of the scientific and academic communities
have pointed out, the SC ruling on Bacillus thuringienesis or bt talong not only stopped fieldtesting of the eggplant but also field trials, propagation, commercialization and importation of all
genetically modified or GM crops.
The second part of the SC decision last month invalidated a 2002 order of the Department of
Agriculture governing GM crops. National Scientist Ricardo Lantican, a member of the
Agricultural Sciences Division of the National Academy of Science and Technology, pointed out
that this was not even sought by environmental groups in the petition filed with the Court of

MANILA, Philippines Stock of the main Filipino staple remains ended the year more than
enough to meet he government-mandated target for rice-sufficiency, data from the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.Local rice stock inventory hit 3.44 million metric tons (MT)
as of December, 13.5 percent up from their year-ago levels. The figure was also an increase of
10.8 percent from end-November.The current inventory is good for 100 days, the PSA said. As a
matter of government policy, a 90-day national rice buffer is considered enough to meet

Haryana, Punjab provide 20 per cent more rice for central pool
By ET Bureau | 9 Jan, 2016, 03.20PM IST
The two states are the largest contributor of both paddy and wheat to the central
kitty.CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana have contributed 20% more paddy to the central pool
in the current marketing season that was marked by scanty rains, providing a major boost to the
National Food Security Mission. The two states are the largest contributor of both paddy and
wheat to the central kitty. As per the Food Corporation of India's latest figures, Punjab
contributed 139.54 lakh tonnes of paddy compared to 120 lakh a year ago in the current market
season that began in October, while Haryana's share was 42.6 lakh tonnes compared to 30.5 lakh
tonnes.Together, the two rice bowl states contributed 64% to the central kitty of 283 lakh tonnes
of paddy.
The other contributors included Chhattisgarh (37.89 lakh tonnes), Andhra Pradesh (18.46 lakh
tonnes) and Uttar Pradesh (16.37 lakh tonnes). ice, a water intensive crop, was suspected to be
affected due to untimely and scanty rains in the current Rabi season. Diversification from water
guzzling rice has been on agenda of the two states due to rapid depletion of water levels. The
Food Corporation of India's rice stock dwindled to 99.47 lakh tonnes in December 2015, the
lowest in the last five years. The rice stock was 106 lakh tonnes in December 2014, 142 lakh
tonnes in 2013, 306 lakh tonnes in 2012 and 270 lakh tonnes in 2011.
