Cambodia Rice Exports Increase Sharply in

First Half of 2015 Driven by Chinese,

European Demand

Jul 06, 2015

Cambodia has exported around 283,825 tons of milled rice in the first six months of 2015, up

about 60% from around 177,928 tons exported during the same period last year, Phnom Penh

Post quoted data from the Secretariat of One Window Service for Rice Export Formality.While

white rice accounted for around 47% of total rice exports in the six month period, fragrant rice

accounted from 44.5% and parboiled rice accounted for the remaining 8%. About 72 companies

have exported rice to 51 countries so far this year according to official data.

Increased demand from China and the European Union are said to be driving this year's rice

exports. Cambodia exported around 72,000 tons of rice to China so far this year, about 9 times

more than 7,731 tons exported during the same period last year. It exported around 175,959 tons

and around 177,928 tons of rice to China in 2013 and 2014 respectively. A Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) to export around 100,000 tons of rice to China expired in May this year

and Cambodia hopes to strike a new deal to export around 200,000 tons of rice to China this

year.

Meanwhile, the EU nations France, Poland and the Netherlands remained the top three importers

of Cambodian rice in 2015 with 36,233 tons, 32,268 tons and 18,179 tons respectively. The

government of Cambodia aimed to increase rice exports to one million tons in 2015 but noted

that that it is unlikely to achieve the target due to inadequate milling facilities and infrastructure

as well as lack of access to funding.

USDA estimates Cambodia to export 1.1 million tons of rice (including official and unofficial

exports to Vietnam and Thailand through borders) in 2015, up about 10% from an estimated 1

million tons in 2014.

OECD-FAO Report Estimates Global Rice

Trade to Increase 9% in 2015-2024

Jul 06, 2015

A report titled 'Agricultural Outlook 2015-2024' by the Organization for Economic Cooperation

and Development (OECD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United

Nations forecasts the global rice trade to increase about 9% during 2015-2024.

The report expects the global players on international rice markets to remain the same. It expects

Thailand to retain the world's number one exporter status by 2024 and except for India, it expects

rice exports from all of the traditional exporters, namely Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam and the

U.S. to increase.

The report estimates global rice production to increase about 70 million tons to around 564

million tons from the current 494 million tons (in 2014). The increase is mainly driven by yield

improvements while area expansion is expected to be limited. The global increase of 70 million

tons in rice production is expected to be dominated by Asian countries (61 million tons) mainly

India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam and China.

The FAO expects total production of cereals, including rice, to increase about 14% over the next

decade.

The report estimates global rice consumption to increase by 57 million tons to around 562

million tons over the next decade, marginally less than the previous decade. The growth is

expected to be higher in developing countries than in developed countries with Asian countries

accounting for almost 80% of global consumption increase.

The OECD-FAO report generally projects a steady decline in prices of food grains, including

rice due to an increase in overall agricultural production and diversification of dietary choices

towards other food items like meat and dairy products. A possible slowdown of fast growing

economies like China, and growing competition among exporters could also lead to a decline in

prices, it says. On the other hand, supply shortages caused by any severe droughts may result in

surging international prices.

India Reconsiders Rice Imports from

Myanmar

The government of India, which planned to import 100,000 tons of rice from Myanmar to fill the

supply gaps that are likely to arise in the north-eastern states of Manipur and Mizoram due to the

ongoing construction of railway line connecting the two states to the rest of the country, has

issued a directive to the Manipur state government to abandon all processes related with the rice

import activity, local sources reported.

Manipur government planned to import 10,000 tons of rice every month to meet the public

distribution (PDS) needs of the state. It also reportedly developed the requisite infrastructure

facilities such as food testing laboratory, godowns, etc in the border towns to accommodate the

imports.

According to local sources, the government of India issued the directive in the light of some

scams that were unearthed in the PDS implementation in some north-eastern states, including

Manipur. The FCI officials in Manipur also reportedly received the directive.

The government has decided to import rice despite having sufficient stocks with the FCI as

moving rice locally from other states such as Punjab or Andhra Pradesh by road is costlier than

importing it. Moreover the journey has to pass through hilly terrains and land-slide prone areas,

said local sources.

India’s rice stocks in the central pool as of June 1, 2015 stood at around 22.485 million tons

(including a milled equivalent of about 9.234 million tons of paddy), down about 20% from

around 28.03 million tons recorded during the same period last year, according to data from the

Food Corporation of India (FCI).

Pesticides used in rice fields are posing threat to the existence of honey bees in Japan, the Japan

Times quoted a study by the Agriculture Minsitry.

Officials told local sources that large-scale honey bee deaths had occurred due to pesticides

sprayed on paddies near apiaries. They noted that Japan has nearly 9,300 bee keepers. They

noted that the number of reported cases of mass deaths of honey bees reached around 79 in FY

2014 rom around 69 in the previous year and just few cases in years before that.

They also told that nearly 1,000 to 3,000 honey bees were found to have died per hive, and

pesticides were detected on many of the dead bees. They noted that honey bees get victims to

pesticides while collecting rice pollen. These tainted honey bees are understood to have caused

deaths of bees inside the hive boxes.

The Ministry has instructed prefectural governments to set up consultative bodies of rice farmers

and bee keepers to allow each of the members to share information on pesticide programs and

discuss ways to reduce damage to bees. It suggested solutions such as temporary relocation of

hive boxes to safer places and the use of granulated insecticides instead of powder fertilizers and

pesticides.

USDA Post Estimates Thailand 2015 Rice

Exports to Decline to 10 Million Tons Due to

Competition from Vietnam

Jul 06, 2015

USDA Post estimates Thailand's 2015 rice exports at around 10 million tons against the earlier

estimated 11 million tons due to a competition from Vietnam especially for 5% broken white

rice.

Page 13: 7th july (tuesday),2015 daily exclusive oryza e rice newsletter by riceplus magazine

The Post revised its estimates based n the pace of Thai rice exports during the first five months

of 2015. Thailand exported 3.8 million tons of rice during January - May 2015, down about 1.4%

from the same period last year. It reports that white rice exports declined about 10% y/y during

the five-month period as the prices of Vietnamese rice are lower than Thai rice. Currently, the

price difference between Thai and Vietnamese rice prices (5% grade white rice, FOB) is $30 per

ton, compared to around $20 per ton in May.

The government is also very cautious in selling the rice stocks, which accumulated from the rice

pledging scheme introduced by the previous government, in order to avert price falls. It sold

around 2.1 million tons of government stocks in the first six months of 2015, compared to around

3 million metric tons in the same period last year.

The Post estimates Thai MY 2015-16 (January - December 2015) paddy rice production at

around 27.3 million tons (around 18 million tons, basis milled), down 7% from last year due to

drought. Around 1 million rai (0.16 million hectares) of main-crop rice in irrigated area in the

central plains is expected to be adversely affected by drought. The government has reduced

water supplies in the central region due to lower water levels in the Chao Phraya river basin. The

country's second crop is also likely to be affected as water levels in reservoirs are expected to be

low due to lower-than-expected precipitation between May and June.

Thailand's rice consumption in MY 2015-16 is expected to increase to around 12 million tons

from an estimated 11.7 million tons last year as the government is planning to sell about 500,000

tons of rice to the industrial sector for ethanol manufacturers.

The government of Brunei is stepping up efforts to increase the quality of rice production rather

than focusing on just increasing the volume, Brunei Times quoted the Minister of Industry and

Primary Resources (MIPR).

The Minister who attended the forth planting of Padi Laila at the Kampung Limau Manis

Agricultural Development Area (Kawasan Kemajuan Pertanian, KKP), which was organized by

the Department of Agriculture and Agrifood (DAA), told reporters that the government is also

planning to provide farming entrepreneurs with a quality planting system in order to support

them to achieve quality yields by avoiding threats like birds, rodents, insects and pests. He noted

that more research is needed to identify potential threats accompanying rice production.

Rice production is being carried out in KKP since 2013 by 21 entrepreneurs who completed a

basic padi planting management course through the Brunei Rice Farmers Field School organised

by the DAA and each entrepreneur manages two to three lots. The DAA had supported the KKP

project with a concrete drainage and irrigation technology. The project yielded a total of 100,800

kilograms in the 2013-14 prime season, 42,000 kilograms in the off-season and 79,700 kilograms

in 2014-15 prime season. The project sells its output to the government under a buy-back

agreement.

In March this year, the MIPR Minister apprised the Parliament that the country produced around

1,380 tons of milled rice in 2014, up about 12% from 1,230 tons in 2013 and was far from

achieving the 60% rice-sufficiency target by 2015. He noted that the Ministry has identified

certain problem areas, which have to addressed to achieve a significant increase in rice

production.

Brunei’s milled rice production has remained at around 1,000 tons since 2002, and the country

imports most of rice required for domestic consumption. In 2008, the Sultan of Brunei said that

Brunei Darussalam should not be dependent on other countries for its rice supply and should

have their own strategic plan to ensure food security.

The USDA estimates Brunei's milled rice production to remain at 1,000 tons in the MY 2014-15

(January - December 2015), and estimates the country to import around 40,000 tons in MY

2014-15 to meet an annual consumption demand of around 41,000 tons.

June), down about 10% from around 3.015 million tons of rice exported in first half of 2014,

June 2014. Average export prices in June 2015 stands at about $406 per ton, almost down about

4% from a year ago, and down about 5% per ton from a month ago.

Vietnam Decides to Retain VAT on Domestic

Rice

Jul 06, 2015

The government of Vietnam has decided not to slash the value added tax (VAT) on rice

consumed in the domestic market at the current 5%, according to local sources.

The Vietnam Food Association (VFA) reportedly recommended that the government slash the

VAT on rice consumed in the domestic market to 0.5% in order to develop a rice brand in the

domestic markets.

However, the Finance Ministry opined that the VAT cannot lowered as there was no 0.5% tax

rate in the existing VAT Law. The Ministry stated that if a new rate is added, it would not be in

line with the VAT reform strategy for the 2011-2020 period. The Law basically aims at

narrowing down the number of subjects for VAT imposition. It also noted that international law

allow zero VAT only for exports and not for domestic consumption.

The Prime Minister reportedly approved the Finance Ministry's proposal.

According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), during the

2010-15 period, less than 15% of the country's total rice output of about 22 million tons, was

only subject to 5% VAT as the remaining was being used for exports and self-consumption.

Rice used for animal feed and fertilizers will continue to be exempted from VAT, according to

local sources.
