High-Interest Loans Deter Rice Export

Growth, Says National Bank Official


Jun 11, 2015
High-interest loans offered by banks have been reducing funding opportunities for rice millers
and are consequently deterring export growth in the country, according to the Director-General
(DG) of the National Bank of Cambodia.Addressing an investment luncheon in Phnom Penh, the
DG told local sources that this inability of millers to raise finances is contributing to the
exporters' failure to meet the export goal of one million tons in 2015.
A lot of our rice millers face difficulties in getting loans from the banks because the banks ask
the millers to use their land as collateral, she said. But the millers say they dont have land to
use as collateral because they just rent or lease it, she added.She also noted that millers need
money to buy paddy from farmers, process it and to buy rice milling equipment and for their
maintenance, most of the times, exporters delay payments to millers. Therefore, banks usually
consider lending to millers as a risky proposition.
Even the members of the Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) have been urging the government to
take requisite measure to increase loan availability options to millers as well as improve rice
milling infrastructure to ensure speedy deliveries to exporters.Cambodia exported about 243,025
tons of rice in the first five months of 2015 (January - May 2015), up about 64% from about
148,262 tons rice exported in the same period last year according to the Secretariat of One
Window Service for Rice Export. Cambodia has exported about 387,100 tons of rice in
2014.USDA estimates Cambodia to export 1.2 million tons of rice (including official and
unofficial exports to Vietnam and Thailand through borders) in 2015, up about 9% from an
estimated 1.1 million tons in 2014.
Oryza U.S. Rough Rice Recap - Prices Dip

Slightly after USDA Increases Old and New
Crop Carry-over; Export Sales Continue to
Struggle
Jun 11, 2015
The U.S. cash market was slightly weaker today after the USDA increased their old crop ending
stocks estimated by 0.5 million cwts (22,680 tons) and their new crop ending stocks estimate by
7


1.0 million cwts (45,359 tons) both on account of increased imports.Analysts continue to stress
that prices will likely remain depressed until there is a significant increase in export demand
however even at the levels we see today exporters are still struggling to make sales, which has
been evident in the last weeks of USDA export sales figures.
The USDA reported that cumulative net export sales for the week ending on June 4th, totaled
36,400 tons, which was 7% higher than last week and 8% higher than the prior 4-week
average.Increases were reported for the following destinations including: 9,700 tons to Panama,
7,100 tons to Haiti, 6,000 tons to Haiti, 3,200 tons to Mexico, and 2,700 tons to tons Canada.U.S.
rice exporters shipped 102,700 tons, which was 80% higher than last week and 56% higher than
the prior 4-week average. The primary destinations included: 34,100 tons to Colombia, 28,300
tons to Mexico, 17,600 tons to Haiti, 9,000 tons to Honduras, and 4,100 tons to Canada.
Pakistan Exporters Plan to Boost Rice Sales

to Iran
Jun 11, 2015
Pakistan rice exporters are planning to increase

rice exports to Iran as part of efforts to meet
the export target of 3.5 million tons this year,
according to Reuters.Reuters quoted a
Pakistan-based rice analyst as saying that the
production this year may reach 6.5 million
tons but the export demand is waning due to
declining rice prices. Therefore lower exports
are expected in 2015, he said."Iran can be
good partner of Pakistani rice and trade can be
increased. But there are few difficulties of the
embargoes," he was quoted as saying. He
noted that there already exists a border trade between Pakistan and Iran for rice under which local
merchants usually export through borders. However, a nuclear deal would help all the merchants to
expand their business to Iran.Iran is currently trying to overcome differences with the six super powers
over the self-imposed June 30 deadline to reach a deal over its disputed nuclear program.


The Middle East nation, which is the largest buyer of basmati rice, imposed a temporary ban on
rice imports in November 2014 and still there is no clarity as to when it would end the
ban.Pakistan has exported around 3.45 million tons of rice (around 428,051 tons of basmati and
around 3.02 million tons of non-basmati) in the first ten months of FY 2014-15 (July 2014 - June
2015), up about 6% from around 3.25 million tons (around 601,273 tons of basmati and around
2.71 million tons of non-basmati) exported during the same period in FY 2013-14.
ABARES Estimates Australia 2014-15 Paddy

Rice Production at 720,000 Tons, Down 11%
from Last Year
Jun 11, 2015


Australia's paddy rice production in MY 2014-15 (April 2014 - March 2015) is estimated to
decline to around 720,000 tons (around 517,680 tons, basis milled), down about 11% from an
estimated 808,988 tons (around 582,471 tons, basis milled) in MY 2013-14, according to data
from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES).In
its June crop outlook report, the ABARES attributes the decline in paddy rice production to a 5%
y/y decline in planting area to around 70,000 hectares reflecting reduced supplies of irrigation
water in the main rice producing region of New South Wales as well as a 7% y/y decline in
average yield to around 10.29 tons per hectare.
Total summer crop production is estimated to have declined by 4% in 201415 to 3.8 million
tonnes, due to decline in production of cotton and rice. The area planted to summer crops
declined by 9% to around 1 million hectares.The weather report issued by the Bureau of
Meteorology (BOM) on 28 May 2015 suggests an average winter rainfall in the cropping regions
of Victoria and South Australia and above average rainfall in the cropping regions of Western
Australia. However, it is likely there will be below average winter rainfall in the cropping
regions in southern Queensland and most of New South Wales.The BOM expects decreased
winter spring rainfall over southern and central Australia due to an impending El Nino weather
pattern in the Pacific Ocean.

Pakistan Targets to Produce 6.9 Million Tons

of Milled Rice in 2015-16, Says SUPARCOFAO Report
Jun 11, 2015
11


In the May Crop Monitoring System Bulletin, the National Space Agency of Pakistan
(SUPARCO) and UNs Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that the Federal
Committee on Agriculture (FCA) has fixed the 2015- 16 (July - June) milled rice production
target at around 6.9 million tons (around 10.21 million tons, basis paddy) from around 2.8
million hectares. It is targeting an yield of around 2.434 tons per hectare in 2015-16.The rice is
majorly grown in Punjab, Sindh, KP and Balochistan provinces. Usually rice nurseries are sown
in May. While transplanting of the IRRI rice is carried out during June-July, transplanting of
basmati is carried out in July-August, says the report.
Eaarlier, in March, the SUPARCO and FAO have estimated Pakistan FY 2014-15 (July - June)
paddy rice production to decline about 19% to around 8.437 million tons (around 5.65 million
tons, basis milled) from around 10.04 million tons (around 6.72 million tons, basis milled)
produced last year. They have estimated FY 2014-15 paddy rice acreage at around 3.285 million
hectares and yield at around 2.568 tons per hectare.The decline is attributed to floods that hit the
Punjab state in the month of August 2014 having damaged around 116,700 hectares of paddy
fields. Over 217,000 tons of paddy is said to be lost in the Punjab state. The government of
Punjab reportedly announced a compensation of Rs.16 billion (around $159 million) to the floodaffected communities.USDA estimates Pakistan's MY 2014-15 (November - October) milled rice
production to increase about 3% to around 6.9 million tons (around 10.35 million tons, basis
paddy) from around 6.7 million tons (around 10.05 million tons, basis paddy) in MY 2013-14.

The Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) forecasts Philippines's 2015 second quarter (April June) production to decline by about 4.3% to around 3.898 million tons from last year's 4.073
million tons and about 0.1% from its April forecast of around 3.902 million tons due to a decline

participating in a bid.The individuals are said to have violated the Criminal Code, the Public
Competitive Bidding Act and the Anti-Corruption Act. The first trial against the 21 individuals
will commence on June 29, 2015. If found guilty, the 21 individuals, including the former
Commerce Minister, may face life imprisonments as well as a fine of up to 35.2 billion baht
(around $1.1 million).

of water on their farms as the rainfall so far has been lower than the forecast. He also noted that
decrease in water input in reservoirs coupled with increase in output to offset the dry weather
conditions has led to a fast depletion of water sources.
He noted that a postponement of rice planting would help in averting a severe shortage of water.
The DG suggested that July would be more appropriate to start rice planting as they expect rains
to pick up by then.
