Asia races to find drought-resistant rice

Amy KazminJanuary 13, 2016 11:02 am

©AFP The monsoon rains are essential for growing rice in India, but their inconsistency affects productionHalf of all people in the world, mostly those living in Asia, depend on rice as a staple food, eatenup to three times a day.But, compared with other food grains, global production of rice hasalways been finely balanced against demand, with little surplus traded on the market. As Asianweather patterns, especially the distribution of monsoon rains, become more erratic due toclimate change, policymakers are concerned about the stability of global rice production and thelong-term welfare of rice farmers and consumers.The International Rice Research Institute(IRRI), based in the Philippines, is working to develop seeds for new rice varieties that will beable to resist the kind of climate stresses, such as floods, drought and soil salinity, that are

expected to become more frequent due to global warming.

Flood-resistant rice strains, whose development by the IRRI started in the late 1970s, are already paying off in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, where millions of farmers now grow rice varietiesthat can survive total submergence in water for between 14 and 20 days. Previously popularhigh-yielding rice varieties would be destroyed after just four or five days under water.Uma

Shankar Singh, who leads the IRRI mission in India and Nepal, says researchers are also making progress in developing drought-resistant rice varieties, which could be available to farmerswithin a few years.―The world talks about climate change adaptation, but we hardly have

anything to show on the ground,‖ says Mr Singh, the regional co-ordinator for IRRI’s StressTolerant Rice for Africa and South Asia (STRASA) project, which is funded by the Bill &

Melinda Gates Foundation. ―This is a direct example.‖

Climatic stress is acute in South Asia, home to about 37 per cent of the world’s rice-growing areaand prone to floods, drought, salinity, or some combination of those problems.Floods areincreasingly frequent, but so are periods of severe dryness during monsoon seasons. Many dayscan go by between rains, a contrast to the predictable daily downpours that older farmers saythey remember. ―It’s not that the total amount of rainfall has changed,‖ says Mr Singh. ―But its

uneven distribution is creating both flood and drought.‖Rice-consuming countries saw the impactof disruptions in the global supply of rice in 2008, when Bangladesh, the Philippines and parts ofwest Africa all suffered food riots triggered by spiralling global rice prices that had jumped 300 per cent, from $300 to $1,200 per ton, over four months.The price spike had several causes, one

of which was the imposition of export restrictions by India.

Another factor was panic buying by several large rice-consuming countries includingBangladesh, which was facing a rice shortage after severe flooding in the summer of 2007caused damage to 2.2m acres of cropland.In fact, global rice stocks were not very low at the timeand both the panic and prices subsided after a few months. But it was a warning about the kind ofglobal ripple effect that could ensue should a shortfall occur. ―There is not much surplus rice forthe international trade,‖ says Mr Singh. ―If there is any serious flood in China or India, no one

can supply the rice. What rice is produced is consumed; the situation is tight.‖IRRI’s plan t odevelop rice that can tolerate extreme weather relies on a bank of seeds from around 127,000traditionally cultivated rice varieties, known as ―landraces‖, as well as on wild rice collected

from around the world.

Many of the traditional varieties are disdained by contemporary farmers due to low-yields or poor grain quality. But, having adapted over centuries in various climactic conditions, some haveevolved to be able to withstand local climactic stresses.Abdelbagi Ismail, head of the STRASA project, describes IRRI’s seed bank as ―a treasure collected from all over the world, adding: ―It

has all the diversity and all the traits we look for in rice.‖For decades, IRRI scientists hadsearched for rice varieties that could combine the genes required for flood tolerance with those ofother high-yield varieties developed during the Green Revolution of the 1960s, whichtransformed wheat and rice farming in irrigated parts of north India.

Then, in 2002, researchers identified the precise gene in a landrace from eastern India thatallowed it to survive a submergence of up to 20 days. By 2006, IRRI had combined that genewith a popular high-yielding rice variety and had provided 200 grammes of the seed to the Indiangovernment’s own rice research institute. By 2013, nearly 5m Indian farmers had some fields

planted with this flood-tolerant rice, covering about 1.7 to 2m hectares in total.The institute isnow using similar methods in its effort to develop drought-resistant rice and the process has beenaccelerated by recent developments in genetic mapping. ―We are now testing lines that are both

It’s not that the total amount of rainfall has changed, but its uneven distribution is creating bothflood and drought

- Uma Shankar Singh, leader of the IRRI mission in India and NepalThe challenge is not merely scientific, but also political and logistical. South Asian governmentsmust approve new seed varieties, then distribute these seeds to farmers, who must in turn beeducated about their benefits and correct use.In the past, regional governments have subjectednew IRRI seed varieties to years of additional testing before approving them for use by their ownfarmers. But India has shortened the testing period and in 2014 the governments of India, Nepaland Bangladesh agreed that seed varieties approved for use in one country will be automaticallyapproved for use in all.―We want these new varieties to reach the farmers as fast as possible,‖ Mr

Singh said. ―The biggest challenge we are facing is making seeds locally available to farmers in

remote area and taking information about these new varieties to the farmers. We have to gear upthe whole system to do this.‖

USA Rice Visits U.S. Officials and Key Mexican Customers;

Conducts International Planning MeetingsBy Michael Klein

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO -- All week, USA Rice staff and members have conducted meetings andmarket visits here in the United States' number one rice market to learn more about that market and toshare programs and generate new promotion ideas.First were meetings with officials from the USDAForeign Agricultural Service (FAS) stationed here, followed by a trip to the sprawling Central Market fora conference with officers at El Alazan y El Rocio, one of the largest wholesale rice distributors inMexico. Finally, the group met with Mr. Pedro Schettino, the largest rice miller in Mexico and with Mr.Ricardo Mendoza, Executive Director of the Mexican Rice Council.At every stop, the talks were frank,focusing on quality of U.S. rice, current competition from Uruguay, potential future market changes thatcould result from an enacted Trans Pacific Partnership, and promotional opportunities in Mexico for U.S.rice.

Members and staff also then visited area markets to see rice being sold, including open air and wholesalemarkets and traditional supermarkets.The group then set down to the business of planning, with a day anda half of meetings for USA Rice's International Promotion Committee and staff where strategies and priorities for the year ahead were reviewed. Washington, DC-based FAS staff and Mexico-based Animaland Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) staff also participated in the planning meetings.

"With about half of our crop exported each year, it is vital we ensure our promotion programs and tradeservicing activities stay fresh, relevant, and nimble," explained John Valpey, chair of the USA RiceInternational Promotion Committee, who attended the meetings. "It's no coincidence that we held our planning meeting in the capital city of our largest export destination. As always, we had productivemeetings in a wonderful city.

Reach for these rice recipes

By Rita DeMontis, Toronto SunWednesday, January 13, 2016 8:00:00 EST AM

This time of year is when a bowl of rice is real nice.On its own with a dollop of butter andsprinkling of fresh cheese is as comforting as you can get. And recent studies show people whoconsume the most have diets richer in potassium, magnesium, fibre and less saturated fat andsugar.Rice is healthy and its affordable that 1.6 billion people consume worldwide."Canadians won't sacrifice taste for health and are learning that healthy and tasty can be inclusivewhen they take a bite out of the world around them," says registered nutritionist and culinarywriter Theresa Albert, noting that nearly 70% of our rice is from south of the border.Rice, is a practical grain that goes with everything and is a healthier option than other starches.According to a study published in Food and Nutrition Sciences, rice consumption was associatedwith better diet quality and nutrient intake than seen in non-rice consumers.

"Not only is whole grain rice itself more nutrient-rich than some other starches common at ourdinner tables, but it also is typically served with highly nutritious items like beans, fish, tomatoesand greens," says Albert, adding "It's that cascading inspiration of adding rice which opens thedoor to other nutritious foods. Cuisines all over the world benefit from this "company rice keeps"and Canadians know a good thing when they see and taste it."In Canada, we do not have to lookfar for rice recipe inspiration, thanks to our diverse cultural landscape.

Australia's SunRice planning IPO

KAORI TAKAHASHI, Nikkei staff writer

New South Wales rice grower Peter Draper says securing sufficient water is vital for Australia's ricegrowers.SYDNEY -- Australia's Ricegrowers, a leading rice production and sales company trading as SunRice, is planning an initial public offering to raise funds to diversify its business portfolio and expand exports toAsia. The company is seeking to widen the scope of its businesses because rice production in Australia isvulnerable to declines in rainfall.The move is also aimed at boosting exports to Asia by capitalizing on the

signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, expected to happen this year.The Riverina region inAustralia's New South Wales is the country's rice production center. Located in southeastern Australia,the Riverina accounts for 98% of the country's rice production.

To ensure a good crop, rice farmer Peter Draper has to check his vast rice paddies every day in blisteringheat. The summer temperature frequently rises above 40 C. In Australia, farmers plant rice in Octoberand ship new rice in May. The fact that the seasons in Australia are opposite to those in the Northern

Hemisphere gives Aussie rice a major competitive edge in international markets, Draper said. Ricefarmers in Australia face a tough challenge. Securing the large amounts of water needed to farm the grainin a drought-prone country comes at a high cost.The price of water traded between farmers oftensoars due to scant rainfall. A spell of dry weatherforces rice growers to cut back on production.Rice production in Australia from April throughthis coming March is seen plunging 58% to305,000 tons because of drought, according to anestimate by the Australian Bureau of Agriculturaland Resource Economics and Sciences. Ricerequires far more water to grow than other

summer cash crops like sorghum and cotton. This puts it at the top of the list of production-cut candidatesduring dry weather.

Rice industry growth hampered by disunity

Sacks of rice await sale at Phnom Penh's Orussey Market in 2014. Eli Meixler

Wed, 13 January 2016Cheng Sokhorng The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF), the apex body of the nation’s rice industry, is looking to bring all relevant stakeholders under one unifying vision for the sector, citing the lack ofcooperation among its members as a key reason for missing last year’s 1 million-tonne milledrice export target.―There is a lack of cooperation and confidence, with some members not

following the CRF’s policy, which remains a challenge to reach our export target,‖ CRF vice president Hun Lak told reporters yesterday.

He said a common approach would help build confidence among farmers, maintain qualitystandards and improve the branding of Cambodian rice.―If we can fix these obstacles we will

reach this target in the next five years,‖ he said.One of the biggest challenges faced by the

federation, according to Lak, was managing the country’s supply and demand of rice paddy. Hecited instances where millers could not purchase paddy given that the farmers desperate for cashhad already sold it to millers in neighbouring countries.To remedy this scenario and achieve theexport target of 1 million tonnes of milled rice per year, Lak said the federation’s memberswould need about $550 million for paddy procurement.

He said the capital would be used to purchase 2.5 million tonnes of paddy, assuming that it costs1,250 riel and 800 riel per kilo of fragrant and white rice, respectively.CRF president SokPuthyvuth said the capital requirement was just a ballpark figure based on a preliminaryassessment of the sector’s requirements. ―We are still studying this, but once we agree on a

specific number the government will play an important role to facilitate it,‖ he said.Taing

Chhung Ngy, director of market promotion at rice exporter LBN Angkar (Kampuchea), saidunity was essential to the federation’s effectiveness.

He said that while some exporters would agree to a common policy, such as unified rice prices,during meetings their actions did not match their commitments.―We cannot walk on the same

path unless we understand each other’s problems well,‖ he added.The Cambodia Rice Federationwas established in May, 2014, and currently comprises 230 members.The federation has anoperating budget of $700,000 for two years ending May, 2016, which is covered by a one-timeMinistry of Economy and Finance allocation, membership fees and from contributions by its 17 board members.Additionally, the federation collects $1 per tonne of fragrant rice exported and$0.50 per tonne on white rice from its members.http://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/rice-industry-growth-hampered-disunity

Nigeria Can Produce 10 Million Metric Tons of Rice

Annually, Says IFAD President

By Vincent Ujumadu Awka — President of International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD, Dr. Kanayo Nwanze, has said that Nigeria has the potential to produce 10 million metric tons of rice annuallyif the required infrastructure was put in place.Nwanze, during a visit to the rice processingclusters at Omor and Anaku rice producing areas in Anambra State, explained that the countrycurrently produces three million metric tons of rice and consumes about six million metric tons,adding that with the prevailing ideal environment for rice production in many parts of thecountry, attaining the 10 million metric tons target would be met soon to make Nigeria a netexporter of rice.

According to him, the Country Programme Manager of IFAD, Dr. AtsukoToda, had expressedher determination to assist the country achieve the desired objective.During the visit, Nwanzewas presented with the vision of Anambra State Value Chain Development Programme for therice processing clusters in the state by the state programme Coordinator of IFAD, Mr. NnamdiAgwuncha.Agwuncha said that the state Value Chain Programme was anchored on the FederalGovernment's strategic vision for strengthening the agricultural sector in order to achieve foodsecurity, increase production, expand and improve rural economy for employment and incomegeneration, as well as increase export and reduce food importation.He said that participatoryrural appraisal had already been conducted, adding that the constraints of the rice processingclusters had also been identified

which transfers technology, apart from making profits.The Chief Executive Officer of theChinese group, Mr. Wang Jing Xin disclosed the proposal when he led a delegation of thecompany to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Abuja.

The company according to the release, apart from the investment would also collaborate with the

ministry in building a research institute, help local farmers to improve themselves and equally provide job and opportunities to Nigerians.Responding, the minister of Agriculture and RuralDevelopment Chief Audu Ogbeh stated the need to take every step to ensure that states in Nigeria partner with the company on the proposed rice project. He stated that an expanse of landearlier mapped out for vice production in Bayelsa State would be considered for the project.

The minister said Kebbi, Zamfara and Ogun States respectively could be encouraged tocollaborate with the company.He also requested the Chinese firm to consider the production ofvegetables.Chief Ogbeh said agriculture was not only about relying on rain fall but also irrigationand advised the company to think along irrigation projects since Nigeria does a lot of dry seasonfarming.He said villages should be included in the our grower programme so that they could sell

their products to the company.http://www.thetidenewsonline.com/2016/01/13/chinese-firm-plans-300m-rice-project-in-nigeria/
