The government reached an agreement with Vietnam to import one million tons of rice,including 750,000 tons of 15% broken rice and 250,000 tons of 5% broken rice, according to theofficial.

He also noted that the government would import another 500,000 tons of rice from Thailand.

However, price and other technical issues need to be sorted out with the Thai government, hesaid.

The official also noted that the government is in talks with other countries such as Cambodia andMyanmar for government-to-government (G2G) import deals.

The Indonesian statistics agency has lowered its estimates for the country's 2015 paddy rice production to around 74.99 million tons, slightly below the estimated 75.55 million tons. It isunderstood that the current estimates do not account for the El Nino impact on the rice production. If the impact of El Nino is considered, it is likely that the production may be much below the estimates.

The Bulog needs to maintain about 2 million tons of rice at the end of the year. Currently thestocks stand at around 1.5 million tons.

The President has been keen on achieving self-sufficiency in rice production and avoid importsthis year. However, the extending dry conditions and falling stocks are reportedly prompting thegovernment to import rice. Analysts have been predicting Indonesia to import around 1.6 milliontons of rice this year.

European Parliament to Reject EC's TradeProposal on GMOs; EU Food and Feed

Partners Hail the Decision

Nov 05, 2015

The European Parliament has decided to reject the European Commission's trade proposal toallow EU Member States to opt-out from authorised Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

for food and feed uses.

The EU Food and Feed Chain partners, who are opposing the EC stance, have welcomed thedecision. They have been calling on the EU Commission to withdraw its proposal since allowingMember States to impose national bans on EU-approved GMOs would contradict the core principles of the EU’s internal market.

They noted that the EC would be setting a dangerous precedent by allowing scientific findingson the safety of products be overruled by non-science-based restrictions to the free movement ofgoods. The dismantlement of the single market will destabilise the balance of the EUcommodities market and would negatively impact the EU budget, they said.

They also noted that the EC's trade proposal would result in substantial commercial and legalrisks for operators, condemning them to overly high costs and undue trade disruptions.

The EU Food and Feed partners are urging the EC to provide a platform for encouraging thedevelopment of innovative products for the benefit of the consumers. They have called for adedicated debate to address the relevant issues involving biotechnology and GMOs.
