ABARES Forecasts Australia 2014-15 Paddy Rice
Production at 894,000 Tons, Up 7% from Last Year
Sep 11, 2014

Australia's paddy rice production in MY 2014-15 (April 2014 - March 2015) is estimated to increase to around
894,000 tons, up about 7% from an estimated 833,000 million tons in MY 2013-14, according to data from the
Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES).
The ABARES attributes the increase in paddy rice production to an increase in planting area during the
marketing year. Paddy rice planting area is expected to increase to 91,000 hectares, up about 20% from an
estimated 76,000 hectares in the previous year due to resumption of the supply of irrigation water to the rice
growing regions.
About 99% of paddy rice is produced in New South Wales. The ABARES estimates the paddy rice production
in the region at around 890,000 tons from around 90,000 hectares of planted area. The region is expected to
produce a yield of about 9.89 tons per hectare during the marketing year.
USDA estimates Australian paddy rice production to decline to around 700,000 tons (around 504,000 tons of
rice, basis milled) in MY 2014-15 (April - March), down about 15% from an estimated 825,000 tons of paddy
rice (around 594,000 tons of rice, basis milled) produced last year. It estimates Australia to produce a yield of
10 tons per hectare during the marketing year.

Domestic Rice Prices in Asia Show Mixed Trends in
August 2014, Says FAO

Domestic rice prices in Asia have shown mixed trends in August 2014, according to the UN's Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO). While domestic prices in Myanmar and Cambodia declined sharply, prices
increased in Indonesia, Bangladesh and Vietnam. Prices in India, China and the Philippines were relatively
stable, says the FAO.
Rice prices in Myanmar and Cambodia declined during August 2014 due to sustained export demand.
Thai domestic rice prices continued to increase in August despite the resumption of rice sales by the military
government as the volume of rice sales was not in line with expectations. Domestic rice prices in Vietnam
increased sharply during the month due to strong import demand from China, supported prices and increased
output from the secondary 2014 summer-autumn crop harvest. Average prices of rice in Indonesia increased
sharply in August due to lower than expected 2014 paddy ouput. Rice prices increased in Bangladesh increased
during the month due to the ongoing government's procurement from 2014 main season crop. Rice prices in Sri
Lanka increased sharply due to contraction in the 2014 paddy production.
Retail prices of Japonica rice in China were relatively stable in August due to good supplies from the 2014
record production and increased import volumes. Average rice prices in the Philippines remained stable during
the month while the government is awaiting imports to support its dwindling stock levels and rising prices. Rice
prices in India also remained stable due to continuing government purchases and export demand.
Rice export prices in Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan increased in August 2014, according to the FAO. Thai
rice export prices took an uptrend after the military government suspended rice sales to conduct inspections of
stocks in government warehouses. Export prices remained stable in India while they declined slightly in
Uruguay.

Oryza U.S. Rough Rice Recap - WASDE Leaves
Market Little Changed; Export Sales Slide
Sep 11, 2014

The U.S. cash market was little changed today after the USDAs release of the World Agriculture Supply and
Demand Report which showed a 3.1 million cwts decrease in long grain beginning stocks as well as an 11.0
million cwts decrease in long grain production on account of decreased acres and field yields. The USDA also
cut long grain domestic use and exports by 4.0 and 5.0 million cwts, respectively, which ultimately led to a 5.1
million cwt decrease in their 2014/2015 ending stocks projection.
As of today, offers could be found around $12.85-$13.33 per cwt fob farm (about $283-$294 per ton) while bids
were unchanged near $12.50-$12.75 per cwt (about $276-$281 per ton) for September-October delivery;
however, most buyers and sellers have not been able to come together on price.
In the meantime, today the USDA reported that cumulative net export sales for the week ending on September
4, totaled 32,000 tons which was 43% less than last week an 55% less than the prior 4-week average. Increases
reported for the following destinations: 7,800 tons to Mexico, 7,000 tons to Ghana, 5,300 tons to Honduras
including 2,000 tons switched from unknown destinations and decreases of 200 tons, 4,000 tons to Costa Rica,
and 3,000 tons to Turkey while decreases of 2,000 tons were reported for unknown destinations.
Net sales reductions of 3,300 tons were reported for 2015/2016 which resulted in a 200 ton increase for Mexico
which was more than offset by decreases of 3,500 tons for Honduras.
U.S. rice exporters shipped 19,700 tons which was 53% less than last week and from the prior 4-week average.
The primary destinations included: 7,100 tons to Haiti, 4,300 tons to Honduras, 2,800 tons to Mexico, 1,800
tons to Jordan, and 1,300 tons to Canada.

Sep 11, 2014

Chicago rough rice futures for Nov delivery settled 19 cents per cwt (about $4 per ton) higher at $12.520 per
cwt (about $276 per ton). Rough rice futures turned higher today as the USDA adjusted supplies lower as a
result of reduced acreage and yield when compared to last months report. Many trade insiders felt that these
changes were necessary and actual expect further reductions going forward. Todays gains are seen as a
technically positive development for the market and could be further confirmation that the market has indeed
put in a low and that a bullish reversal is underway. The other grains did not react as favorably to todays
USDA S&D update and finished the day sharply lower; soybeans closed about 1.2% lower at $9.8150 per
bushel; wheat finished about 2% lower at $5.0300 per bushel, and corn finished the day about 1.4% lower at
$3.4100 per bushel.
U.S. stocks shaved losses on Thursday as oil regained some ground and investors weighed President Barack
Obama's announcement of increased action against Islamic State militants. U.S. stock index futures had pointed
to a weaker open on Wall Street after Obama announced on Wednesday evening new plans to fight Islamic
State militants and jobless claims for the week came in higher than expected. Initial claims for state
unemployment benefits increased 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 315,000 for the week ended September 6, the
highest level since June, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
However, claims remained near pre-recession levels and did not indicate a significant change in labor market
conditions. Chinese inflation data also caused concern that the world's second-largest economy was losing
steam. Traders are also looking ahead to Friday's data, which includes retail sales and consumer sentiment. Next
week, investors will turn their focus to the Federal Reserve meeting and other political events. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average traded 28 points lower, or 0.16%, at 17,040.17. The S&P 500 fell 2 points, or 0.11%, to
1,993, with health care leading five decliners and utilities the greatest advancer. The Nasdaq was 9 points lower,
or 0.20%, at 4,577. Gold is trading about 0.5% lower, crude oil is seen trading about 0.7% higher, and the U.S.
dollar is seen trading a touch lower at about 1:00pm Chicago time.
Wednesday, there were 673 contracts traded, up from 325 contracts traded on Tuesday. Open interest the
number of contracts outstanding on Wednesday decreased by 70 contracts to 8,975.

Philippines Bid Offers Doorway into a New Market,
Say Cambodia Rice Exporters
Sep 11, 2014

Cambodian rice exporters are concerned that they lack requisite
expertise as well as infrastructure to meet the technical terms
and conditions specified in the Philippines government's rice
import bid, according to local sources.Following the rejection of
all bids in the open tender to import 500,000 tons of 25%
broken white rice on August 27, 2014, the National Food
Authority (NFA) of the Philippines has decided to import the
said volume or rice through a government-to-government deal.
Accordingly, it sought price quotations from Thailand, Vietnam
and Cambodia for the imports under consideration.
However, the Cambodian rice exporters are worried that the technical terms and conditions specified by the
Philippines government are very stringent and they cannot meet them appropriately. One exporter noted that the
NFA bid order required the winning government to deliver a minimum of 200,000 tons of rice across 14 ports in
the Philippines, adding that they don't have adequate production and logistics management to adhere to this
specification. Another exporter noted that due to inadequate storage facilities, they may not be able to supply
such huge amounts of rice to the Philippines within the stipulated time.
The President of the Cambodia Rice Federation said they are prepared to quote for a part of the Philippines
imports despite several challenges as it offers immense export opportunities going further.
Cambodia exported around 177,928 tons of rice in January - June 2014, up about 1% from around 175,959 tons
exported during the same period in 2013, according to the Secretariat One Window Service (SOWS-REF) under
the Ministry of Trade. USDA estimates Cambodia to export around 1 million tons of rice in 2014, including
both official and unofficial exports to Vietnam.

Sri Lanka to Introduce Mobile Rice Supply System
to Curb Hoarding and Price Hikes



Daily Rice E-Newsletter by Rice Plus Magazine www.ricepluss.com

Sep 11, 2014

The Sri Lankan government has decided to introduce a mobile rice supply system to ensure uninterrupted
supplies in the country as well as to curb hoarding and further spike in prices, according to local sources.
The Minister of Internal Trade and Cooperatives told local sources that the system will
be initiated within the next ten days. He noted that for the purpose, the government will
distribute rice through the state-owned Lanka Sathosa trucks to every part of the
country, adding that they are planning to sell rice at every junction in all towns and
cities.
The Minister stated that the system would allow the government to have control on the supplies as well as
prices and this would protect farmers and the consumers. He noted that this kind of controlled selling is needed
to prevent rice hoarding and further increase in prices.
The country's Finance Secretary told media sources that government will import around 100,000 tons of rice
this year as the country's paddy production is likely to decline about 17% to 3.32 million tons (around 2.26
million tons, basis milled) from around 4 million tons (around 2.72 million tons, basis milled) produced in 2013
due to ongoing drought. It is understood that the government has imported around 50,000 tons of rice from
India and will import another 50,000 tons from Bangladesh.
Proactively, the government had removed all taxes on rice imports in April this year to help improve supplies
amid drought conditions.
The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has estimated Sri Lanka's paddy rice production to decline
to around 3.9 million tons (around 2.65 million tons, basis milled) in 2014, down about 16% from around 4.62
million tons (around 3.14 million tons , basis milled) produced in 2013.
USDA estimates Sri Lanka to produce around 2.8 million tons of rice, basis milled (around 4.1 million tons,
basis paddy) and import around 20,000 tons in MY 2014-15 (October 2014 - September 2015). Sri Lankas
consumption needs are estimated at around 2.9 million tons of milled rice per year.
