Double whammy for basmati farmers in Punjab

Farmers of the aromatic, long-grain staple basmati rice in Punjab and Haryana faced huge losses on account of low prices earlier this season and now when the prices have shot up, most of farmers are left high and dry as they have already sold their produce.
Rice industry experts believe there’s an urgent need for the governments to implement reforms in the rice intrade.
What is happening in Punjab and Haryana, where a majority of farmers are deprived of profits even after basmati rice prices have risen, could have been avoided had there been a better mechanism of payments.
In the markets of Punjab and Haryana, basmati prices have seen a sudden rise during the past few weeks. The basmati variety PUSA 1121 is now fetching between Rs. 3,000-3,100 a quintal, which was being sold in the range of Rs 1,300 to Rs 1,800 per quintal early this month. Besides, the price of the 1509 variety has also jumped to Rs. 1,800 a quintal as against Rs. 1,000-1,200 a quintal, traders said.
Farmers allege that traders and commission agents of being in hand in glove.

Consumer preferences for buying Rice

Cleanliness:  This attribute relates exclusively to paddy and rice management along the post-harvest segment of the commodity chain.
Swelling Capacity
This attribute, however, is also influenced by the management of postharvest
operations. While, according to rice breeders there is a relation between paddy variety and
their swelling capacity, food technologists explain that the high swelling capacity of paddy is
due to a better drying and a longer storage (one year or even more).
 Price:  Prices can be considered by several customers as a reliable indicator of rice quality attributes, therefore high prices would be synonymous with high quality rice and therefore used as a criterion for selecting the product
Taste : Taste, availability and grain shape are subsequently reported

7th Annual TRT World Rice Conference

California Calrose rice was the recipient of the highly-coveted “World’s Best Rice” award : Nov 03, 2015

Worlds-Best-Rice-Award KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -- Last week, hundreds of delegates from more than 30 countries gathered here for the 7th Annual TRT World Rice Conference, where it was announced that California Calrose rice was the recipient of the highly-coveted “World’s Best Rice” award. 

A panel of culinary experts and prominent international chefs chose Calrose rice as the “World’s Best Rice” from an assortment of 25 entries submitted by delegates across the globe.  California Calrose beat out Cambodia/Thai Fragment Jasmine rice, the reigning “World’s Best Rice” winner for the past three years.

Mexico, Guyana to increase rice trade

 Guyana’s production in the first half of 2015 was 359,960 tonnes, 15.3 per cent more than last year’s record high, first-half production of 312,283 tonnes.
Meanwhile, the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) is conducting an investigation into media reports that ‘fake’ seed paddy were being distributed to farmers.

Recent Developments

“A syndicate has been created in Iran on the pretext that it’s easier to monitor quality of Indian basmati. There are 5-10 importers who work with a few exporters from here. It’s skewing the market in favour of the buyer and driving prices down”

Data from the All India Rice Exporters’ Association (AIREA) show in August 2015, India’s basmati export to Iran was valued at around Rs 192 crore, against Rs 335 crore in August last year, a fall of about 42 per cent. In terms of quantity, exports dropped to 33,554 tonne in August, from 44,022 tonne in August last year, a fall of nearly 23 per cent.
