Rice par-boiling

2011-02-18T20:46:00.000+05:30

Rice, which is grown on a large irrigated area is an important Kharif crop. Rice par-boiling is a process that
adds more value to the rice. After par-boiling the ordinary milling process is applied to the paddy. Parboiling of rice is a process in which rice paddy is pre-cooked before milling. The usual steps involved are Soaking, Cooking, Drying and Milling. During husking the rice is removed from the husk, while the rice is further refined through different machines, during the polishing process. The objective of this post is to provide information about an investment opportunity for setting up a Par-boiledRice processing unit.

Paddy is cleaned and graded to remove , impurities and then it is soaked in hot water for about 45 minutes. After drying it is roasted, to make flakes. These flakes are passed through sieves to remove uneven and unwanted, materials and to obtain flakes of fairly even size. Finally, they are packed in polythene bags.
During the process, yield of even sized flakes is around 80%, 10% is wastage and production loss and balance 10% is bran which has market.

International Rice trends

2010-04-29T11:45:00.000+05:30

India, China, Thailand, Vietnam are the major producers of rice; prices are at a 10 year high while global stocks are at a 30 year low; Main exporters are Thailand, Vietnam, exporting about 4-5 million tons
every year;
Vietnam has lost about 500,000 hectares of irrigated lands since 2001 to 2007 to industrialization. Irrigated rice accounts for 80% of Vietnam's rice area and is grown on about 3.4 Million hectares and providing about 90% of the national production. The minister of Agriculture in Vietnam Cao duc
Phat has said that the loss is expected to equal current rice exports. It would mean the Vietnam will no longer have extra rice for export; Vietnam's rice farms are also affected by pests ;

Vietnam, India, Egypt and Cambodia has limited its rice exports. Thailand
has not issued any restrictions on its exports yet;
India has placed its rice exports at $1000 per ton as a disincentive even as
prices are $700 to 750 per ton of rice.

Commodity Trends: Global rice trade to rise 6%

2010-04-29T11:35:00.000+05:30

Commodity Online
Global rice trade is set to rice by 6% this year to a 3-year high of 30 mn tonnes, according to International Grains Council. The global wheat production may decline by 2.37 per cent to 659 million tonnes (mt) in 2010, while output in India, the world's second-largest producer of the grain, is expected to remain stable at last year's level.
A recent report of the Council said that rice trade would be higher than the five-year average due to a rebound in shipments to Asia Deliveries to Far East Asia are forecast to rise 20%, to 8.1 million tonnes, due to strong imports by Bangladesh and the Philippines.
After almost close to two years of the ban on export of non-basmati rice in the wake of fears of domestic shortage of rice from early 2008, the Government has partially lifted the ban on export of non-basmati rice by permitting its exports to Sri Lanka and Nepal with a ceiling on diplomatic grounds to keep the friendly ties with neighbours.

The China Market for Rice

2010-04-29T10:31:00.001+05:30

China is by far the largest rice producer and consumer in the world. The magnitude of the rice market in China is hard to exaggerate and the potential role of China in the global rice system is immense. Approximately one-third of all the rice in the world is produced and consumed in China. Given its size we would expect the market for rice in China to be complex. However, the absolute and relative size of the China market for rice does not fully capture the complexity. In a real sense, several markets for rice coexist
simultaneously in China. These markets are differentiated by type, quality, location and customer focus. Imports and exports add further dimensions. In addition, the agricultural and food situation in China is changing rapidly, so what was true a few years ago must be reevaluated and the present situation cannot be simply projected into the future

China likely to import Indian basmati rice

2010-04-29T10:29:00.000+05:30

China is expected, in the next 2-3 months, to allow Indian basmati rice imports as the two countries have recently reached a political consensus, a top official of agri-export promotion body Apeda has said
India, which has exported 10.6 lakh tonnes in the first six months of the 2009-10 fiscal, has been attempting for several years to resolve the trade barrier with China, though basmati rice has been exported to the neighbouring country through informal ch annels

Japan, China and Thailand Can Solve the Rice Crisis—But U.S. Leadership Is Needed

2010-04-29T09:51:00.000+05:30

The world rice market is in crisis, with export prices soaring to $1,100 per ton in April, from
$375 per ton in December.2 If action is not taken, prices may double again, returning them to
stratospheric real levels last seen during the crisis in 1973/74 (Fig. 1). The loss of rice
production in Myanmar due to Cyclone Nargis complicates the task of stabilizing the world rice
market. Fortunately, the release of rice stocks by Japan, China, and Thailand can bring rice
prices down now, possibly cutting them in half by the end of June. But the U.S. government must
take the lead in making this happen. To do so, it will need to get U.S. rice growers on board with
the plan, a potentially difficult roadblock.

Rice Trade 2010

2009-12-02T21:20:00.000+05:30

Rice prices have nowhere to go but up as drought in India and cyclones in the Philippines cripple harvests, according to the world’s biggest importer and the top exporter

Rice may double to more than $1,000 a tonne as dry El Nino weather shrinks output and the Philippines and India boost imports

Global rice supplies are likely to be tighter than last year

The market can even touch $2,000 a tonne in the middle of 2010

Rice purchase prices

2009-12-02T21:05:00.000+05:30

"THE PHILIPPINES, the world’s largest rice importer, will likely buy less than the 600,000 tons of rice sought in last Tuesday’s tender given substantially higher prices offered.
Bids for the tender -- the first of three of the same volume this month -- ranged from $598 to $697 per ton, cost and freight, all above the $543 per ton budget set by the National Food Authority (NFA) and over a quarter up from offers during a November 4 tender.

'It’s a sellers’ market. The market thinks it was an act of desperation for the Philippines to schedule back-to-back tenders, that’s why you see prices rising,' a grains trader said."

rice bran oil processing, technology information on CD ROM: "Edible grade rice bran , defatted rice bran and their fractions have great potential of being used in various foods to upgrade their nutritional and health promoting potential
Rice bran obtained by the two stage milling of raw rice has nearly 18 to 20 per cent oil. However, a higher level of oil is present in bran obtained from parboiled paddy which does not require any stabilisation.
Oil can be obtained from rice bran by the traditional method of processing (pressing), but the yield would be low.
The modern methods of solvent extraction of bran can, however, recover all the oil present in the bran. The crude oil obtained from solvent extraction has to be further purified by degumming, dewaxing, deoderisation and decolouration to obtain edible grade rice bran oil."

UN Chronicle | A magazine for the United Nations.

2009-04-29T09:57:00.000+05:30

UN Chronicle A magazine for the United Nations.: "More than half of the world’s 6 billion people eat rice as their staple food. Global rice prices have been rising since early 2003. Moderate increases of 9 per cent in 2006 and 17 per cent in 2007 were recorded, but since the beginning of 2008 international rice prices have shown a steep upward trend, reflecting a limited supply available for purchase.1 In March 2008, the high quality Thai 100 per cent B (white rice) was quoted at $562 per tonne, which was 74 per cent higher than in March 2007, and rose to $898 per tonne by mid-May 2008. Likewise, Thai A1 Super, fully broken rice, markedly increased by 94 per cent, from $263 per tonne in March 2007 to $522 in March 2008 and surged to $764 per tonne two months later. By May 2008, world rice prices were more than double their May 2007 level.
Hardest hit by this spike in prices are major rice-importing countries, especially the Philippines, the world’s top rice importer. The increase in prices worldwide also drove up domestic rice prices, which rose from March 2007 to March 2008 by 100 per cent in Bangladesh and Cambodia, 70 per cent in Afghanistan, 55 per cent in Sri Lanka and 40 per cent in the Philippines.2 Only 6 to 7 per cent of global rice production is traded internationally each year.1 Due to a very thin market, the price of rice has been subject to the sharpest fluctuations among the world’s traded staples."

US rejects six 'filthy' basmati shipments- Commodities-Markets-The Economic Times: "According to US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), six Indian consignments of basmati rice, both raw and parboiled, have been rejected since March on charge that they are ‘filthy’.

The rejected consignment belongs to, among others, MR Overseas (Delhi), Keshav Exports (Bangalore), New Bharat Rice Mills (Punjab), Evergreen Exports (Mumbai), Basic India and Bhanu Foods India (both from Delhi). Trade sources said approximate quantity of rejected consignment of a single exporter is about 20 tonnes. They said for many of them, this was their maiden exports to US."

Bangladesh, other three countries to buy less rice on good harvest

2009-04-29T09:53:00.000+05:30

Bangladesh, other three countries to buy less rice on good harvest: "Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines and Turkey are foreseen to buy less after harvesting good crops, according to Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)'s latest forecast.

In contrast, Afghanistan, China mainland, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen are expected to import more, often to cover production shortfalls, but also to reconstitute national food reserves, it notes.

The global rice trade in 2009 is expected to marke a rise against that of the previous year. At the same time, there will be an increase in world imports influenced by low prices relative to the previous year, the forecast says.

The forecast indicates that world rice trade in 2009 now points to a volume of 31 million tonnes, 200 000 tonnes more than in 2008, but still short of the 2007 record.

It, however, sees much uncertainty as to the effects of the downturn of the world economy on the volume and nature of rice transactions in 2009. Given more difficult access to credit and lack of confidence over the financial situation of trade players, one possible effect could be an intensification of barter and government-to-government deals, it witnesses."

Monday, 16 February 2009
Manila Bulletin: The importation of 1.8 million metric tons (MMT) this year may not be able to staunch fears of a rice shortage – and consequently of price increases – since production is expected to be down due to a huge slash in the use of petroleum-based fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemical-based inputs. Nearly 1.5 MMT of rice from Vietnam and Thailand will be pumped into the domestic supply by the end of the quarter, at which time local harvests are expected to come in to prop up local inventories. The Department of Agriculture (DA) says the importation from Vietnam and Thailand is meant to close the deficit in local rice production, considering the 10 percent post-harvest losses incurred by Filipino"

How Potassium helps minimize stress due to waterlogging ?

2008-12-09T19:25:00.000+05:30

How Potassium helps minimize stress due to waterlogging ?Some times, heavy rains after prolonged dry spells creates water logging and making crops suffer either due to lodging or due to poor aeration.
K fertilization helps building cellulose thereby giving sturdiness to plant stems. This helps prevent lodging.
Poor drainage under water logged conditions can reduce soil aeration. This situation make roots starved for oxygen. For optimum growth plant roots require a proper balance (ratio) between solid (mineral & organic ), liquid (water) and gaseous (air) phases in the soil. For most plants, this ratio by volume is about 50:20:30, respectively. If oxygen is lacking, root respiration is affected resulting in reduced K uptake. Where there is a risk of lack of oxygen, K fertilization helps improve plant health.

Report Highlights:
Export prices declined by 2-3 percent due to the government stock release and the weakening Thai baht. The retender of 1.4 million tons of the government stocks last week (November 28) attracted more participants than expected. The bidding prices were offered higher than the previous tender but still lower than market prices, particularly for 25% grade white rice. Quotations for the current crop were not offered at that low price due to high intervention prices under the current mortgage program.

Although the rice market is free in West Africa, Burkina Faso and Mali imposed bans on their
exports during the second and third quarter of 2008 in response to the soaring food prices
and in order to maintain stable domestic prices. Senegal also reported smuggling to
Mauritania and other neighboring countries after the GOS decided during the third quarter of
2008 to suspend custom duties and subsidize the prices of various rice grades. These
decisions helped maintain relatively low prices for a short period, but quickly proved to be
very expensive and unsustainable for the GOS. Consequently, they were suspended in
September 2008.

The IGC report has pointed out that market tightness could remain next year, citing restrictions on exports by India and Vietnam. However it will likely be lifted in the first quarter of 2008.
Thailand however is expected to remain well positioned to meet the projected increase in import demand in 2008 on account of its large government rice stocks as a significant recovery in rice imports by Iraq and Saudi Arabia and slight rise in purchases by Cuba, the U.S, Brazil and Russia is also expected."
