MUSCAT –
Oct 25: Indian agribusiness firm Usher Agro Ltd, through its 100 per cent subsidiary Usher
Worldwide FZE and Prime Trading LLC, has signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Al Mada
Project Management Company (AMPMC) and Sohar Food Cluster Company LLC for setting up
a rice and pulses storage, processing and packaging facility at Sohar Port & Freezone. Alpen
Capital India Private Ltd acted as the sole financial advisor to Usher Agro on this project.The
initial facility will be set up at a total estimated project cost of $40 million and will feature a
polishing, grading, blending and packaging unit for 100,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of
premium long grain rice including basmati rice and a state-of-the-art milling unit for 100,000
TPA of pulses.The facility will also incorporate a 25,000 TPA capacity rice fortification plant
based on patented technology provided by PATH — a non-profit organisation supported by the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The rice will be fortified with vitamins and minerals to address nutrition requirements and is
envisaged to be sold as a premium product and also supplied to the government for welfare
activities in the wider MENA region.The basmati rice products of the facility will be distributed
within MENA countries whereas pulses products from the facility will be distributed in India and
MENA Countries. The parties expect to commence the operations of the facility by end of FY
2016.―The proposed food logistics and processing hub at the Port of Sohar (SIPC) will provide a
unique opportunity for the new Joint Venture in a strategic location, capitalising on direct access
to agro/food berths and proximity to many export markets in the GCC and the MENA region,‖
said Essa al Ghurair, Promoter & Managing Director, Sohar Food Cluster Company LLC.�―We
are delighted to partner with Manal al Abdwani of AMPMC and Essa al Ghurair of SFCC to set
up a rice and pulses distribution hub at Port of Sohar. India is the largest exporter of rice and net
importer of pulses. The Joint Venture company aims to participate in this two-way trade with
Port of Sohar as a hub.
We are confident that this project once launched will help in food security efforts of the region
and contribute to the creation of significant shareholder value,‖ added Dr Vinod Kumar
Chaturvedi, Promoter and Managing Director, Usher Agro.
―We are extremely delighted that all parties have come to a mutually beneficial agreement to
commence the execution of this project. We are proud to be associated with AMPMC, SFCC and
Usher Agro and hope that our expertise in the GCC-India corridor will add value to this
landmark project at Port of Sohar,‖ stated Rohit Walia, Executive Chairman, Alpen Capital India
Private Ltd and Alpen Capital (ME) Ltd.

Rice mills falling on hard times
October 25,2015, 04.37 AM IST | | THE HANS INDIA
Karimnagar: Like other agro-based industries, the rice milling industry is also in a deep crisis in the
district. While some of the mills are already closed, more number of industries are on the verge of
closure. The situation is pathetic in Sultanabad where the highest number of rice mills are located in both
the Telugu speaking States. As many as 30 mills belonging to Sultanabad, Manakondur and Peddapall
were closed and machinery of 15 mills sold. The number of labourers like drivers, hamalis, supervisors,
gunny bag repairers and other workers were left jobless following the closure of the rice mills.
Though there are a number of reasons for the present pathetic situation, the increase in the prices of
electricity, transportation and labour charges were some of the main reasons for the industry being pushed
into a catastrophe.Compared to the previous years, there is huge jump in the price of current bills, labour
and transportation charges, which were vital to run rice mills. But there was no change in the
remuneration being paid to rice millers by the State government towards custom milling charges. At
present, Rs 15 and Rs 22 were being paid per a quintal of raw and boiled rice respectively. Apart from
these issues, the Minimum Support Price (MSP) is also playing a vital role in staying rice exporters away
from state. Not interested to spend huge amounts on procuring rice from the State, they are approaching
millers of other states such as Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharastra where there was no MSP for
paddy.
Speaking to The Hans India here on Monday, P Muralidhar, owner of Maruthi Industries, Sultanabad,
said that the remuneration for custom milling was fixed 20 years ago. There was no change in the
payments for custom milling though the prices of all commodities like diesel, electricity and other were
hiked hundred times, he opined.Another rice miller from Sultanabad, Poleti Maruthi said that they had

brought the issue to the notice of the State government a number of times in the past, but the successive
rulers did not heed to their request. However, he expressed the hope that the present Telangana State
government would protect the interests of rice millers.
According to the official figures of the District Rice Millers Welfare Association, there were 536 rice
mills including 242 boiled mills in the district out of which, 111 were located in the surroundings of
Sultanabad mandal headquarters itself. More than 15 mills were already closed while 80 percent of mills
belonging to Sultanabad were in crisis.Rice millers from the district have pinned their hopes on the
Finance and Civil Supplies Minister, Eetala Rajender, who assured the protestors, a few months ago, that
he would help them in resolving their crisis. Moreover, Rajender’s candidate Bachu Bhaskar has been
elected as the president of district rice millers association in the elections. All the candidates withdrew
from the contest based on the instruction from the Finance Minister, it was leant.

UNVDA helps farmers cope with climate change, boost
production
YAOUNDE, (Xinhua) -- A program by a government agro-industry body is helping rice farmers in the
Cameroon’s north and west regions to adopt better crop varieties, use water more efficiently and adapt to
climate change so as to increase output.The program, run by the Upper Noun Valley Development
Authority (UNVDA), is also in partnership with Cameroon’s Institute of Agricultural Research and
Development (IRAD).―In the last 15 years, scientists have released 18 varieties under a line called New
Rice for Africa (NERICA), developed by the Africa Rice Center which crossed an African species
tolerant to local stresses, including drought and pests, and a high-yielding Asian species. These varieties
can resist submersion, droughts and high temperatures including pests and diseases,‖ said UNVDA
General Manager Richard Chin Wirnkar.
He said that local development authority is involved in a project led by the Africa Rice Center which has
established a ―rapid impact‖ seed programme to distribute new high-yield seed varieties to farmers and
also promotes post-harvest technologies like rice milling and packaging, processing activities, and
stronger links with input dealers and micro-finance institutions.The project thus gives households
opportunities to raise their income by developing new rice-based products like rice flour and husks for
fuel, and exploring the use of rice in fortified foods, including vitamin-rich cereals.The government
acknowledges that achieving its plan to make Cameroon an emerging economy with double-digit growth
by 2035, and implementing the new U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty and
hunger depend largely on the economic empowerment of rice farmers, particularly women.―With renewed
government interest in the rice sector in recent years, Cameroon has the potential to become a rice granary
for the Central African sub-region, according to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI),‖ said
Wirnkar.

www.riceplusmagazine.blogspot.com
―But making this a reality requires strengthening rural infrastructure such as roads, irrigation, and rice
milling and rice processing facilities as well as farmers’ ability to market their produce.‖In the last few
years, Cameroon grew less than 20 percent of the rice it needed. In 2012, the country produced only
102,000 tonnes of paddy rice and had to import up to 375,000 tonnes to meet national demand, according
to figures cited by the IRRI.
It should be noted that in previous decades, the government’s reluctance to boast local production saw the
massive importation of rice into the country which almost killed the local rice sector. The customs
department of the Ministry of Finance put the rice importation figures in 2014 at 552,000 tonnes, up from
540,000 tonnes in 2013, mainly from Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China and South Korea.
But over the last few years, the government has been mapping out strategists to revamp the rice sector and
some institutions have been put in place to ensure this transformation, including UNVDA in the North-
West and the Company for the Expansion and Modernization of Rice in Yagoua (SEMRY) project in the
Far-North Region to boost local rice production.
In Cameroon, areas where rice production is currently going on include the Ndop and Mujang plains in
the North-West Region, Tonga, Bandounga and Santchou in the West Region, Yagoua and Kousseri in
the Far-North Region, and Nanga Eboko in the Centre Region with support from Chinese company Sino-
Cam Iko.Despite all these efforts, some constraints are still hindering the country from expanding and
intensifying its rice production, including a lack of good-quality seeds and adequate equipment for
labour-intensive tasks, and a lack of post-harvest technologies to make local rice competitive in the
market. Thus, the country’s rice production has not yet been able to keep pace with the increasing
national demand.

RICE RESEARCH. In a photo taken in 1991, Benito Vergara is seen conducting a study on a
rice field.
MANILA, Philippines – National scientist and plant physiologist Benito Vergara died on
Saturday, October 24.Vergara's death is confirmed in a Facebook post by the Philippine
Horticulture Society Inc. (PHCI), where he served as an honorary member.The cause of death of
the 81-year-old Vergara is not immediately clear.Vergara was given the title National Scientist in
2001 due to his significant contribution on rice research.In an Instagram post by the National
Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), Vergara is said to have brought "rice science and
technology closer to the popular consciousness.""He worked on the physiology of deep-water
rice and flood-tolerant rice plant. His work has been adopted by national breeding programs
leading to the identification of parent materials with excellent flood tolerance," said in the

post.NAST added that he is also behind the "conceptualization of a model for the super rice, an
even higher-yielding rice, based on a new ideotype with the correct panicle morphology, grain
development, and low tillering habit as key components."
Vergara worked at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) from 1961 until 1995.His
other contributions include the book Farmer's Primer on Growing Rice which has been
translated into more than 40 languages, and the development of the Riceworld Museum and the
Philippine Science Heritage Center.Vergara obtained a bachelors degree in botany from the
University of the Philippines in 1955, a masters degree in botany from the University of Hawaii
in 1959, and a doctorate degree in plant physiology from the University of Chicago in 1960.He
was born on June 23, 1934.According to PHCI, Vergara's body lies at the Arlington Memorial
Chapel in Quezon City from October 25 to 26. It will then be brought to Los Baños in Laguna
for a wake until October 28. – Rappler.com

BILLIONAIRE'S LIST. Microsoft co-founder and philantropist Bill Gates is still the world's richest man in
2015. File photo by Cole Burston / EPA
MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) – The world’s richest man, Bill Gates, was
reportedly spotted in Los Baños, Laguna – the hub of the International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI) on Wednesday, April 8.A few social media posts and online reports
said the billionaire philanthropist was seen in IRRI Wednesday morning.Tony
Lambino, IRRI head of communications, neither confirmed nor denied the
visit.Lambino told Rappler, however, that Dr. Pamela Anderson, the agricultural
development director of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) had been in
IRRI since the weekend.
He said Anderson and other senior officers of the BMGF were in the country to get
updates on the food and nutrition security programs the foundation is supporting, with
an annual commitment of $18 million. The briefings of IRRI officials with Anderson
concluded Wednesday morning."The foundation is IRRI's largest philanthropic
donor," Lambino said in a text message.Apparently, a private jet with registration
number N887WM and tied to Gates, was in the country as early as April
4, Interaksyon.com reported.An IRRI employee shared with Rappler that social media
sites, like Facebook and Twitter, were blocked in the premises of the institute at
around 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, before and after the chopper reportedly carrying Gates
landed at IRRI. The chopper was at IRRI from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the employee
shared.
Research in progress Scientists at IRRI updated the BMGF team on advances in research on climate-change-ready rice
and varieties that promise to help solve micronutrient deficiencies.―We are thankful that the
BMGF has come for updates on the food and nutrition security initiatives that they support,‖ said
Robert Zeigler, Director General of IRRI.―The foundation is a staunch partner in applying the
best of science so that people in the rice-eating world will not go hungry.‖The foundation has
invested in IRRI’s research for Golden Rice, a genetically modified crop that is seen to help
solve hunger and malnutrition in developing countries.
"It is hoped that Golden Rice will help improve the health of millions of children and adults
across the Philippines and Bangladesh," the foundation said in a statement.Environmental groups
oppose the GMO-developed rice, warning of its potential hazardous impact to the
environment.The BMGF team was also shown experimental rice plots for the development of
flood- and drought-tolerant rice. These varieties promise to improve the livelihoods of the
world's poorest farmers by ensuring a good harvest despite weather and climate upsets.For

instance, flood-tolerant rice are supposed to thrive even after more than 14 days underwater.
Non-tolerant rice normally die after just 4 days of submergence.
Philanthropist
BIllionaire philanthropist Gates, with an estimated fortune of $79.2 billion according
toForbes, stepped down as chairman of Microsoft in 2014, and has been since focusing on the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Co-chaired with wife Melinda, the foudation teams up with
partners around the world to take on some tough challenges: extreme poverty and poor health in
developing countries, and the failures of America’s education system."We focus on only a few
issues because we think that’s the best way to have great impact, and we focus on these issues in
particular because we think they are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the
most of their lives," the Gates earlier wrote, explaining the foundation's work. – with a report

Nearly P10B in rice wasted yearly–study Sunday, October 25, 2015
By JEANDIE O. GALOLO
ABOUT P27 million worth of rice is wasted in the Philippines every day, a loss that, unless
abated, will go up to nearly P10 billion in a year’s time.Citing a study by the Philippine Rice
Research Institute (PRRI), Mary Agnes Militante, regional information officer of the National
Food Authority (NFA) in Central Visayas, said that one person, on average, wastes two
tablespoons of rice daily or some 3.3 kilograms in a year.―We are calling on our consumers not
to waste rice because, for one, the Philippines is not rice-sufficient. We are even importing some
of our rice from Thailand and Vietnam,‖ Militante said.The NFA is running a nationwide
information campaign that urges Filipinos to pledge to become food guardians. As food
guardians, they should: (1) not waste rice (BeRiceponsible campaign); (2) help in making sure
that rice is available, accessible, affordable, and visible to the public (Bantay Bigas Campaign);
and (3) follow the correct food handling procedures to ensure that rice is safe for consumers
(Food Safety Campaign).The agency is aiming to gather one million signatures nationwide
through its social media accounts and offices for the commitment to become food guardians.
In Central Visayas 1,850 have volunteered to become food guardians. Nationwide, the number
stands close to 60,000.
To better equip food guardians with the right knowledge about grains and the rice industry, food
guardians are also advised to attend free seminars about post-harvest technology, food handling,
food quality, food safety, and production-consumption-importation analysis.According to
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan in recent reports, the country may have
to accelerate rice imports in order to keep prices stable and cushion the impact of recent crop
losses from typhoon Lando and the prolonged dry spell due to El Niño.

Unreasonable mechanism clips the wings of rice exporters VietNamNet Bridge - Five big rice exporters, including Thailand, India, Vietnam, Pakistan and the US, are all under the
influence of new economic circumstances. However, Vietnam is the only country which has seen exports fall.
Huynh The Nang, chair of the Vietnam Food Association (VFA), said the current conditions do
not support rice exports. First, there is an abundant world supply. Second, the prices are getting
more competitive. Third, some new rice exporters have turned up such as Cambodia and
Myanmar. Fourth, rice importers are now following self-sufficient food policies. However, an
analyst pointed that the factors have had an impact on all the countries involved in the global rice
trade, not only Vietnam.
Vietnam even has advantages over other exporters. Vietnam’s rice is believed to have the most
competitive price. Vietnam’s 5 percent broken rice is priced at $330-340 per ton, which is only
more expensive than Pakistan, which sells at $310-320 per ton.Experts believe that unreasonable
policies are behind the unsatisfactory rice export performance. Nguyen Van Sanh, head of the
Mekong River Delta Research and Development Institute, noted that rice cultivation and export
are covered by 200 legal documents with overlapping content and unreasonable regulations
which hinder the normal operation of links in the supply chain.Pham Thai Binh, director of
Trung An Company in Can Tho City, discussing the unreasonable policies for the rice industry,
| 11
Daily Global Rice e-Newsletter |
www.riceplusmagazine.blogspot.com
mentioned the Prime Minister’s Decision No 68 on the policies to help ease losses in agricultural
production.
Binh said the decision only benefits farmers, while export companies cannot enjoy any
benefits.In order to implement the large paddy field model, i.e., the agricultural production mode
under which businesses are responsible for farmers’ rice consumption, businesses have to make
heavy investment to develop dryer systems to ensure product quality. Meanwhile, they don’t
receive support from the State.―It is enterprises which have to spend money on processing
machines, not farmers,‖ he said.The State Bank of Vietnam has committed that the banking
system would give financial support to implement the large-field model. However, it is still
difficult to access banks loans.
Investors who develop the large field model in Can Tho City, for example, only get money
disbursed for the projects in Can Tho, not in other localities. Regarding rice exports, Dr. Nguyen
Duc Thanh from VEPR, an economic policy research institute, pointed out that the government
Decree No 109, since the day it took effect, has weakened the competitiveness of Vietnamese
rice exporters.The decree, which has many strict requirements on rice exporters, only allows a
small number of enterprises to export rice.

Salt water showing up in rice growing areas
Dear Editor,
It is reported that high salt content has already shown up in the irrigation canals across the rice
growing regions of Guyana due to the long dry spell. The present crop of rice in Mahaica,
Mahaicony and Abary (MMA) has been seriously affected by salt, according to agriculture
officers, which came from the irrigation water taken directly from rivers.Any farmer who
anticipates pumping water into their fields should have the water tested by an extension officer.
Testing can be done on the spot using a small battery operated meter. If the meter reads 1000 and
above the water should not be used.
The rice plant is particularly susceptible to salt at the early growth stage (about 1 month old) and
at the flowering and grain filling stage.If the level of salt is high at the flowering and grain filling
stage, yields will be lower, unfilled grains will be higher, and chalkiness will increase. All the
lands that were known to be affected by salt in the MMA area should be flushed out with fresh
water in the coming crop before sowing occurs. In the fields that are affected by salt, farmers
| 12
Daily Global Rice e-Newsletter |
www.riceplusmagazine.blogspot.com
should not use produce from their crops as seeds because they will experience low germination
and poor seedling vigour.
They should buy seeds from the Burma Rice Research Station or other farmers whose fields have
not been affected by salt.The areas mainly affected by salt are Leguan and Wakenaam at the
moment and some parts of the Essequibo Coast. This will have serious implications for both cash
crops and this coming rice crop. Every effort should be made by the ministry of agriculture and
the drainage and irrigation board to monitor this situation closely. The government should ask
donor countries and agencies such as the World Health Organisation, the World Food
Programme, the World Bank, IDB and UNICEF in order to receive assistance to combat the
effect of the El Nino weather-like phenomenon.In my tenure as a rice extension officer, a visiting
El Nino expert presented a report to former minister of agriculture Mr Reepu Daman Persaud in
which he suggested ways to combat the crisis.
The document contained recommendations and findings relating to water for agricultural and
domestic purposes. He identified areas where help could be sought, such as funds to purchase
items like pumps to provide relief to farmers who have no access to water to irrigate their rice
fields.The Guyana Government should move swiftly to provide farmers with assistance for the
next crop. In 1998, the El Nino weather phenomenon took its toll on Guyana’s rice industry with
some 45,000 acres which were prepared for the first crop of 1998 not being cultivable. Of the
144,000 acres which had been sown, between 10,000 – 15,000 acres were lost because of the
lack of irrigation water, salt and the prolonged dry weather.Weather forecasting has never been
so crucial for Guyanese rice and cash crop farmers. Climate change means they can no longer
rely on the signs that they used to in the past to help them decide when to sow or harvest.
Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Khan
