The Philippines has offered to buy Myanmar rice through a government-to-government channel,
according to the commerce ministry.Khin Maung Lwin, the assistant secretary of the commerce
ministry, said: The Philippines contacted the Myanmar embassy there requesting to buy rice
from Myanmar. Normally, the Philippines imports rice from Vietnam. It can be said that we may
overtake Vietnam if [the deal] materializes.
Indonesia has also offered to buy 300,000 tons of rice from Myanmar. The two governments will
sign a contract soon, according to the Myanmar Rice Federation. In early 2016, Myanmars firstever rice exports to Indonesia faced difficulties due to pest infestation.
The governments plan to export rice aims to expand the countrys rice market. Respective
organizations and companies will continue to coordinate rice exports. The country is making
efforts to export rice to new markets in addition to neighboring countries, the EU and Africa.

Alfonso G. Puyat, who has been doing a lot of research on plant growth accelerators and other
aspects of agricultural production, says that the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) has
already developed a number of open-pollinated varieties that are high-yielding and have been
certified for commercial planting by National Seed Industry Council (NSIC).
These include RC 222 which is adapted for planting all over the country both in the wet and dry
seasons. It has a certified yield of 6.8 tons per hectare during the wet season and 5.8 tons per
hectare during the dry season. It has consistently good performance under transplanted or direct
wet-seeded crop.
The yield is comparable to the yield of hybrid rice varieties. One saleable hybrid variety is SL-8
with certified yield of 5.9 tons per hectare during the dry season and 5.8 tons during the wet
season. Another is Bigante with certified yield of 5.6 tons per hectare for both wet and dry
seasons.
Aside from being a high-yielder, RC 222 is also prized for its good eating quality, good milling
and head rice recovery. It is claimed to be resistant to pests and diseases.
Two other OPVs developed by PhilRice and certified by NSIC are RC 216 and RC 236. Both
can yield also more than 100 cavans per hectare, and RC 216 is said to have excellent eating
quality.
Puyat notes, however, that NSIC 222 is the most reliable of the OPVs. It is also the favorite of
seed growers. In 2015, there were 1,728 seed producers of certified OPVs whose production was
able to plant 14,821 hectares. On the other hand, producers of hybrid seeds number only eight
companies whose local seed production was 94,000 18-kg bags enough to plant 95,000 hectares.
Hybrid seeds had to be imported to meet the demand by the farmers.
The farmers with limited funds can better afford the OPV seeds because one kilo costs only
about R30 whereas the hybrid seed costs R300 per kilo. Puyat notes that OPV seeds are much
easier to produce because one hectare can yield an average of five tons per hectare. On the other
hand, hybrid seed producers can only make an average of one ton per hectare. It is much more
expensive and difficult to produce hybrid seeds, hence the high cost that the farmers have to pay.

Rice Comment
Rice futures again traded in a narrow range, ending higher amid light volume. The WASDE
report showed mostly offsetting changes, but 16-17 ending stocks are projected at their highest
level since 85-86 thanks to large increases in California medium grain stocks. The all rice on
farm average price was lowered, again a result of lower prices in California. September has
bounced off support near $10.25, and is attempting to work higher, with the next upside target at
last weeks high of $10.94 .

According to an AIREA official, other rice exporting countries such as Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand
do not allow DA transaction.Basmati rice exporters agree that the government was initially reluctant to
intervene in a commercial transaction between importer and exporter of rice. However, with the
realisation from the premium agricultural products like basmati rice shrinking sharply, hitting overall
agricultural product exports from the country, the commerce ministry has agreed to ban the practice of
DA.
With a ban on DA transactions many unhealthy practices in the industry will stop and prices realisation
will rise, Kuber Seth, director, DCP India, which exports basmati rice with Asbah brand name. Trade
sources said the bigger sized basmati rice exporters at present use the system of letter of credit where the
importers instruct their bank to pay exporters as per the specified conditions mentioned in the original
documentary credit.
Commerce ministry sources said the average realisation from basmati exports has fallen from $1,295 per
tonne in FY14 to around $850 a tonne in FY16 while for non-basmati rice, the fall was to $350 per tonne
in the last fiscal from around $450 per tonne two years earlier.India has around 85% share in the global
basmati rice exports while the rest is contributed by Pakistan. The countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia
and United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the biggest destination for the countrys aromatic and long grain

Fresh off his fortieth PPO-resistant pigweed tour in the last four weeks, Jason Norsworthy has
had a busy summer.
Thats probably the most tours Ive ever given at any one location, says the University of
Arkansas weed scientist. This plot is in Crittenden County and there will be another three or
four groups coming through in the next few days. Friday afternoon well put a disk in the field
before these pigweeds set seed.
Many of the tours were given for guys in the industry. Theyve come from around here as well
as other countries to see and understand PPO-resistant pigweed as far away as Brazil and
Argentina. Ive hosted chemical companies, seed companies, farmers, and consultants from
across the U.S.
Theyre all wanting to know what the solution is. What works? What doesnt work? Whats the
path forward? What does Liberty and dicamba look like on pigweed? What residual herbicides
will work or not? How big a pigweed can we kill if its PPO-resistant?
Some of the visitors from the Midwest are really alarmed by the plots. The PPO resistance
they have in (Midwest) waterhemp still allows for effective use of many PPO pre-emerge
herbicides. That is not the case on our pigweed we see very little activity with PPOs applied
pre-emerge or post-emerge.
Honestly, in these plots along with (university colleagues) Tom Barbers and Bob Scotts at
other sites in the state were one herbicide away from not being able to grow a soybean crop.
Now, thats scary.
On the July 18 and 19, Norsworthy will transition from touring pigweed in soybean to touring
many of the troublesome weeds of rice along with an exciting solution. On those days,
showcases of Dow AgroSciences Loyant Rice Herbicide Technology will take place. On July
18, the first showcase will be held at the Northeast Research and Extension Center in Keiser,
Ark. On July 19, the showcase will shift south to the Rice Research and Extension Center near
Stuttgart, Ark.
Both events begin at 4 p.m. and will conclude with supper beginning at 6 p.m. Tours will be led
by Norsworthy and Bob Scott. Farmers and consultants will have the opportunity to learn about
Dow AgroSciences upcoming rice technology, Loyant herbicide with Rinskor active. Loyant

SAN MATEO, Isabela, July 12 (PIA) The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) here
has introduced another project dubbed as 'Palayamanayon' in a bid to make farmers become
agripreneur.Perry Irish Duran, PhilRice-Isabela science specialist, said the PalaYamaNayon,
copied from Palaya (Rice), Yaman (Wealth), and Nayon (Community), envisions a holistic,
inclusive and sustainable growth in rice-based communities such as Isabela.
The project was launched recently at PhilRice Isabela research station attended by agriculture
officials.Duran said to address the problem in rice productivity, the farmers' mindsets must be
changed from being mere rice producer to agripreneurs.
Andres Dela Cruz, PhilRice Isabela Research and Development Coordinator, said they have
started to develop a model farm community adopting the Palayamanan Plus system at Brgy. San
Juan in Quirino last year.Dela Cruz said the project is a rice-based enterprise with the principle
of diversification (maximum use of farm space), intensification (maximum use of time), and
integration (farm resource and zero-waste management).
He said aside from growing rice, various rice-based enterprises such as mushroom and
vermiculture production were being introduced and developed to boost the income of rice
farmers in the area.

A group of more than 100 Nobel Laureates have publicly declared Greenpeaces anti-GMO
campaign a crime against humanity. These men and women say the science is clear -- the world
needs GMOs, and objecting to the production of genetically modified foods both denies
scientific evidence and exacerbates the suffering of the worlds poor.
Organized by Precision Agriculture, a pro-GMO advocacy group, the Nobel winning scientists
demonstrated their support last month by signing a letter addressed to Greenpeace leaders. In it
they implore the environmental group to abandon their position on genetically modified foods,
hoping to end the misinformation and confusion perpetuated by Greenpeace.
The letter specifically focused on Golden Rice, a genetically modified strain of rice that has the
ability to eliminate Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) in Southeast Asia and Africa. Precision
Agriculture states that UNICEF estimates there are one to two million preventable deaths due to
VAD annually and the World Health Organization reports 40 percent of children under five in
the developing world suffer from VAD, making Golden Rice an invaluable source of nutrients.
Yet, Greenpeace and other regulatory agencies have protested its production and distribution.
We call upon Greenpeace to cease and desist in its campaign against Golden Rice specifically,
and crops and foods improved through biotechnology in general, the laureates write.
Richard Roberts, the molecular biologist who spearheaded the campaign, said that mankind has
been modifying food for centuries, and modern GMOs are only a continuation of this process.
The letter urged Greenpeace to re-examine the experience of farmers and consumers
worldwide to recognize that biotechnology is safely improving seeds, crops and farming's
environmental impact.

Mealtime Shortcuts
The food industry is experiencing a shift as the boundaries between meals and snacks are quickly
fading. Snacks are no longer only eaten between meal-times; rather many consumers are eating
traditional snack foods alongside a meal or as a meal replacement. And while consumers are
adopting healthier lifestyles, they are still juggling busy schedules that often cut into meal
preparation time.
General Mills has a long history of helping consumers solve the meal-time dilemma with
convenient and tasty solutions. Some of the newest include:

boats are perfect for apps and entertaining and perfect for the younger crowd. The party pack will

dishes at home with this new line of dinner kits in three distinctive flavors: Butter Chicken,

Good Table Freezer to Plate This innovative new meal kit lets consumers use frozen chicken
to make well-rounded, flavorful meals in a pinch. Available in Teriyaki, Lemon Garlic Herb,
Southwestern and Marsala flavors.
Tasty Treats
Snacks that used to be considered special treats are becoming a bigger part of consumers' meals
and traditional snacks are becoming more nutritious. Consumers are looking for harder working
ingredients in their snacks, which means more nuts, fruits and seeds. The combination of these
trends reveals that consumers are experiencing a "permission to indulge" on a more regular basis.
General Mills is introducing a whole host of snacks ranging from indulgent all the way to betterfor-you to meet consumer's cravings regardless of the time of day or occasion, including:
20
LRABAR Bites - Delicious truffle-like bites made from real food to satisfy your sweet

SCIENCE CITY OF MUOZ, Nueva EcijaThe Philippine Rice Research Institute has warned
local farmers against the presence of pests and other diseases in rice which are more prevalent
during the rainy season.
Dr. Jennifer Niones, chief of the PhilRices crop protection division, said tungro, bacterial leaf
blight (BLB) and fungal diseases such as rice blast and sheath blight are among the major rice
diseases that could plague farmlands.
Niones said rice diseases are more prevalent during the rainy season as weather conditions are
more conducive to disease development and severity.
She urged farmers to choose pests- and diseases-resistant modern varieties such as PSB Rc10,
Rc242 and Rc 216.
Actually, there are many modern varieties resistant to pests and diseases but these three stand
out, she said, adding early detection is the best way to prevent spread of rice diseases.
She explained that PSB Rc10 is resistant to rice blast, Rc242 against BLB and Rc 216 against
green leafhopper.
Choosing the right variety to plant that is high-yielding and adaptable to the local environment
is crucial. Farmers must select varieties resistant to the diseases that previously attacked their
farm, she said.
Niones added that farmers should ensure that lands are well-prepared before they plant on it as
pathogens and other bacterial cells can thrive on undecomposed rice stubbles and straw.
The modified dapog method is also recommended to fast-track seeding preparation and minimize
transplanting shock

directed how that rice machine is used . Photo: Shahani Mala
July 13,07:46 2016
by SHAHANI MALA, Suva
The President Major-General (Retd) Jioji Konrote has thanked the government of China for
their help and support to increase rice production in Fiji.Currently, there are six personnel from
China under the China Aid Rice Programme to help rice farmers use technology and train the
local staff and farmers in modern rice production.
President Konrote said the Government aims for us to be self-sufficient in providing our own
