China Exclusive: Chinese scientists cultivate high-yield salt-resistant
rice
English.news.cn 2013-12-31 14:28:55

HAIKOU, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have cultivated a high-yield salt-resistant rice variety that
boasts an output of six tonnes per hectare.In an experimental program, two professors from Hainan University
and additional researchers from the Hunan Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences planted 18 saltresistant varieties on 3 mu (0.2 hectares) of saline-alkali land along the sea coast in the city of Yancheng in
eastern Jiangsu province this year.After harvesting in October, one variety has proved to have similar output as
varieties growing on normal farmland, said Lin Qifeng, one of the professors from Hainan University.The
progress marks a big breakthrough in the application stage as the varieties were planted in real saline-alkali soils
rather than in labs, Lin said.

The professor said they will expand the experimental plantation to 100 mu in Yancheng in 2014 to further
evaluate the performance of the salt-resistant varieties.Yancheng currently has 410,000 hectares of coastal
marsh, but saline-alkali land is expanding by 2,000 hectares per year.If it proves successful in further tests and
is approved by agricultural authorities, the high-yield salt-resistant variety could mean enormous economic
benefits by helping the world's most populous nation cultivate its vast idle saline-alkali land, he
said.Cultivation, together with the use of rice straw and other organic fertilizers, could help improve soil
conditions in the long term, said Li Guanyi, another professor with Hainan University.China has some 13.3
million hectares of saline-alkali soils with the potential to be cultivated, equivalent to one tenth of the country's
total farmland, according to data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wang Cailin, chief scientist of the rice breeding program in Jiangsu, said more than one quarter of the world's
land is saline-alkali soil and another 20 percent of farmland is at risk of salination.Traditional methods of
desalination, such as soil replacement and watering down the salt, are less efficient and also costly, while the
research progress on salt-resistant plants points to promising new prospects.The professors inserted a saltresistant gene from a wild plant into a normal rice variety six years ago. After five years of screening, they have
obtained 18 salt-resistant rice varieties.The two began to dedicate themselves to research on the development of
salt-resistant varieties as early as 1992. They managed to cultivate salt-resistant vegetables, including tomatoes,
eggplant, cowpeas and pepper, years later in the late 1990s.Scientists in other countries, including the United
States, have also developed salt-resistant varieties such as barley, wheat, sorghum and tomatoes. However, most
saline-alkali soil exploitation worldwide focuses on landscape greening rather than the cultivation of crops and
vegetables.

PH rice production
Philippine Daily Inquirer

A total of 4.53 million hectares of the country‟s 14.1 million ha of agricultural land are devoted to rice
production.Rice production area in the country is smaller compared to rice exporting countries like China
(29.93 million ha), India (44.10 million ha), Indonesia (12.88 million ha), Thailand (10.96 million ha) and
Vietnam (7.44 million ha).Palay production in the Philippines: 12.389 million metric tons (MT) in 2000, 14.603
million MT in 2005 and 18.57 million MT in 2012.Top 10 rice producing provinces (2000-2006 data): Nueva
Ecija (average of 1,113,284 MT), Isabela (1,006,422 MT), Pangasinan (832,114 MT), Iloilo (763,893 MT),
Cagayan (548,369 MT), Tarlac (469,316 MT), Camarines Sur (451,489 MT), North Cotabato (418,197 MT),
Leyte (417,820 MT) and Negros Occidental (373,254 MT)

Thai rice exports this year could rise above the targeted levels
due to demand from key importers and limited supplies in other
exporting countries, Chookiat Ophaswongse, president of
Association of exporters of rice in Thailand, has Dow Jones said
in an interview Friday. “Rice exports this year should reach 8.7
million (metric) tons, given the strong demand in world markets
for Thai rice,” Chookiat said.The Thai government has set a
target of exporting 8.5 million MT rice for 2007, an increase of
16.4% compared to 7.3 million MT exported in 2006. Thailand,
the world‟s largest rice exporter, has already exported

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

2.52vmillion MT of rice of 25 April this year, up 11.8% on year, the Ministry of Commerce Department of
Foreign Trade said Wednesday.
Chookiat said Indonesia, which has shown a keen buyer after unfavorable weather reduced production of rice
there, plans to import up to 2.2 million million tonnes of rice in 2007 to fill a shortfall of domestic „
offer.Indonesia was imported only 600,000 tons of rice in 2006. “Indonesia has no choice but to import more
rice this year, while Vietnam is almost sold out, so we can earn huge export opportunities in Indonesia
market, “said Chookiat.Vietnam has already signed contracts to export 3 million tonnes of rice a target total of 4
to 4.5 million MT this year. The increase in demand especially from Indonesia, China, Africa and countries are
expected to help sustain the export price of Thai rice, he said.
Thai 100% grade B rice is currently offered at about $ 325 a metric ton, free-on-board Bangkok. Thailand likely
to produce more rice for export, given its favorable climate, sufficient rainfall and anti-drought in rice growing
areas, he said.

Six months after visiting their counterparts in Vietnam to compare rice-growing methods, an Oxfam-Americaled delegation of Haitian farmers and agronomists reports that one of those methods used in Vietnam, the
System of Rice Intensification (SRI), has begun to take root in Haiti‟s Artibonite Valley.The reason for SRI‟s
growing popularity in Haiti is clear: Many farmers practicing this method have boosted their rice yields by 50
percent to 100 percent. They include two farmers‟ associations supported by Oxfam America: Movement to
Help the Women of Liancourt-Payen commune of Verrettes, and the Irrigators‟ Association of Liancourt. The
women‟s farming collective boosted its yield to seven tons per hectare, up from less than five tons the previous
year, according to Marie Melisena Robert, president and founder of the 200-member group who was among
those who traveled to Vietnam.
The Irrigators‟ Association, an association of 450 farmers, saw yields reach seven tons, up from less than four
tons per hectare, says Hollange Antoine, the group‟s president.Likewise, in Petite Rivière, the local branch of
the Ministry of Agriculture reported that its 2.5-hectare SRI pilot plot yielded 5.7 tons of rice—about double
what might otherwise be expected using traditional growing techniques.In plots adjacent to those farmed by the
women‟s collective, farmer Présulmé Louis said that he was impressed with SRI and would try it next year. In
explaining why he used a more traditional method this year that produced a more moderate two to four tons per
hectare, he says, “SRI looked too hard.”Indeed, SRI is not Miracle-Gro. While SRI requires less seed, water and
fertilizer than traditional farming techniques, it‟s a labor-intensive approach to rice farming that must be

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

followed painstakingly to be effective.“SRI activities must be done on time and just as prescribed,” says
Antoine.
Mesadieu Alexis, president of a water users‟ association and also on the Vietnam trip, echoed those sentiments,
noting, “If you apply the [SRI] technical package correctly, you will have good yields. That‟s what we
experienced.”Following the SRI guidelines can sometimes be more difficult in Haiti than in Vietnam, members
of the delegation report. First, there is the issue of water management. In Vietnam, there is a strong culture of
cooperation among farmers—supported by government regulation—to share water resources. In Haiti, farmers
working adjacent plots don‟t often agree among themselves and with the government about access to water and
management of irrigation canals.Also, in Vietnam the use of herbicides reduces or eliminates the need for
weeding SRI plots. Haitians, on the other hand, typically don‟t use herbicides because they could wash into the
irrigation canals from which families pull water for drinking and bathing. Consequently, farmers must yank
weeds from rice paddies two or three times each season.SRI farming—whether in Vietnam or Haiti—also
requires using the right seeds in the right soils at the right time of year.
In Haiti, each of those aspects need further study, according to Gérald Telfort, director of research and training
for the ODVA, the Ministry of Agriculture‟s Artibonite Valley Development Organization.Following four
months of studying the yields of two varieties of Haitian rice grown using two cultivation systems, SRI and one
promoted by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Telfort found that in certain circumstances the
yields of both systems were comparable. ODVA published the research, sponsored by Oxfam America, in an
October report.Despite these challenges, Haitian farmers say they have benefited from SRI. “So, for those
farmers who are not using SRI, we are encouraging them to do so,” says Antoine of the Irrigants‟
Association.Oxfam is working with small-scale farmers in Haiti and around the world to help them improve
their food and income security. Support life-changing programs like this to help people fight poverty, hunger,

Govt Says 259 Million Tonne Foodgrain Production Likely This Year
December 31, 2013

New Delhi: The year 2013 has been significant for Indian agriculture. The production of foodgrains is likely to
reach record level; in a year in which other economic parameters have not been too encouraging, agriculture
growth is likely to surpass the target of four percent.Public Investment in the farm sector has gone up and States
are constantly being incentivized to come up with new schemes. Credit flow to the sector is increasing year
after year. Strategies adopted at the beginning of major cropping seasons for ensuring quality seed and fertilizer
are paying dividends. Time bound crop-specific initiatives have been taken and special plans drawn up for new
areas with potential for higher yield. Such initiatives have resulted in resurgence of Indian agriculture that is
helping the country not only meet the rising domestic demand but also earn precious foreign exchange.
INDIAN AGRICULTURE AT A GLANCE
Agriculture continues to be the backbone of Indian economy.Agriculture sector employs 58.2% of the total
workforce.Agriculture‟s share in India‟s exports increased to 13.08% in 2012-13 from 12.81% in the year 201112. India‟s share of global agri-food product export is 2.1% as per International Trade Statistics 2012.India is
largest producer of milk, pulses, livestock, jute, jute like fibres, tea and cauliflower.India is second largest
producer of wheat, rice, fruit, sugarcane, groundnut and tobacco.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND GROWTH

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

Against a target of 4% growth over the 11th Plan period, we have achieved a growth rate of 3.64%. Target of
Agriculture sector growth remains at 4% during 12th Plan period.The 11th Five Year plan has seen an increase
in total food grain production of over 173.38 million tons over the 10th Five Year Plan period. This is despite
two years of drought in various parts of the country in 2009-10 and 2010-11.The target of food-grains
production for 2013-14 is 259 million tonnes.The production of Wheat and Rice during 2013-14 is expected /
targeted to be 92.50 million tonnes and 105 million tonnes respectively.
The production of pulses during 2012-13, as per 4th Advance Estimates is at the record level of 18.45 million
tonnes. The target for 2013-14 is 19 million tonnes.Overall increased production is reflected in the stocks with
FCI. Against the buffer norm of 21 million tonnes as on 1st October, 2012 we have a stock of more than 66.5
million tonnes. From a position of having to import about 6 million tons of wheat in 2006-07, the country today
has become a net exporter of wheat and rice.Due to special initiative of the Ministry, an area of around 15 lakh
hectares has been brought under summer pulses.Cotton production in India has increased 3.5 times in a span of
a decade and reached a peak of 35.20 million bales in 2011-12. (1 bale= 170 kgs) as compared to 8.6 million
bales in 2002-03. During the same period productivity has increased from 191 Kg/ha to 491 Kg/ha. Cotton
production is estimated at record level of 35.30 million bales in 2013-14 as per 1st Advance Estimates.
As per 1st Advance Estimates the production of sugarcane in 2013-14 is expected to be 341.77 million tonnes
as against the target of 340.00 million tonnes.MSP of major crops such as paddy, wheat and pulses have
increased by more than 100% between 2004-05 and 2013-14.The strategies for rejuvenating agriculture sector
to achieve 4% per annum rate of growth have been working which is seen by the fact that estimated growth in
the Agriculture & Allied Sectors during the 11th Plan (3.64%) is higher than that achieved during the 9th Plan
(2.5%) and 10th Plan (2.4%).As per CSO, the agriculture and allied sector had grown at 1.9% during 2012-13.
As per estimates released by CSO on 29.11.2013, the first half (April to September) of 2013 agriculture sector
registered a growth rate of 3.6%.Gross Capital Formation (GCF) in agriculture and allied sectors as a proportion
of the GDP in the sector stagnated at around 14% during 2004-05 to 2006-07. During the year 2010-11 and
2011-12, the GCF has been 18.4% and 19.8% respectively.
The Plan outlay of DAC increased from Rs.15,000 crore in 10th Five Year Plan to more than Rs.60,000 crores
in the 11th Five Year Plan and further increased to Rs.1,34,746 crores during 12th Five Year Plan.There has
been substantial increase in production of fruits and vegetables in recent years. Production of fruits during
2012-13 is estimated at 77.7 million tonnes as against 76.4 million tonnes during previous year and production
of vegetables during 2012-13 is estimated at 159.5 million tonnes as against 156.3 million tonnes during
previous year. Per capita availability of fruits and vegetables has increased to about 174 gms/person/day and
346 gms/person/day respectively in 2012.
Under the Grameen Bhandaran Yojana, while the target for XI Plan was to create storage capacity of 90.00 lakh
MT, the achievement was 150% higher at 135.01 lakh MT. During current year, capacity of 42.93 lakh MT has
been sanctioned so far.The flow of agriculture credit in 2011-12 reached Rs.5, 11,029 crore (as against target of
Rs. 4, 75,000 crore) from a level of Rs.86, 981 crore in 2003-04.
As against the target of agriculture credit for 2012-13 of Rs.5, 75,000 crore, the achievement during the year
has been Rs.6, 07,375 crore. For the year 2013-14, the target of agriculture credit flow has been increased to
Rs.7,00,000 crore. During the year 2012-13, (as on December, 2012), 500.79 lakh farmers were financed by the

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

banking system, out of whom 309.28 lakh farmers were small and marginal. Kisan Credit Cards are being
converted into SMART cards to facilitate its operations through ATMs. There were 12.03 crore active KCCs
in the country as on 31.03.2013.To make cheap agriculture credit available to farmers for short term crop loan,
incentive of additional interest subvention increased to 3% for farmers who repay their loan on schedule thus
making the effective rate of interest @ 4% only.

KARNAL, DEC. 30:

Paddy arrivals dropped drastically to just around 15,000 bags on
Monday at the Karnal Grain Market Terminal against the arrivals
of around 30,000 bags till last weekend.Following not much
buying in the market, very few paddy farmers are bringing their
produce , said Tara Chand Sharma, proprietor of Tara Chand and

million tons of rice achieving US$2.9 billion.By the

Kien Giang provinces in the Mekong delta proposed to
pay VND5,100-5,300 a kilogram for fresh normal rice;
VND5,400-5,400 a kilogram for fresh long grain type
and VND 6,200 a kilogram for aromatic long-grain
rice.While 5-percent broken rice was quoted at VND8, 300-8,400 per kilogram, 15 percent broken rice is at
VND7, 950-8,050 a kilogram and 25 percent broken rice at VND7, 750-7,850 a kilogram.It means that rice in
