Acid from Rice Husks Replaces Expensive, Patented Enzyme in Biofuel Production
Feb 27, 2014
Turning unused plant products like rice husks into fuel has skyrocketed in popularity. In 2010, global biofuel production was at an impressive 28 billion gallons, about 17% higher than the previous year. With traditional fuel prices rising and concerns about the environmental consequences of accessing and transporting crude oil dominating the media, those numbers are only going to get larger. Some countries, such as Denmark, already require that a certain percentage of ethanol is added to all gasoline sold in the country. Some countries allow companies to add up to 85% bioethanol to gasoline.Currently, Brazil and the U.S. are responsible for producing the majority of the worlds bioethanol, a specific type of biofuel that is made by fermenting carbohydrates found in plants containing sugar and starch. Most biofuels are so-called first-generation biofuels, which are made from sugars and vegetable oils in arable crops, making them easily extracted but these biofuels are controversial because they use crops that could otherwise be used for food, like corn and sugarcane. Increasingly, researchers are developing ways to utilize non-food parts of the plant in the production of bioethanol.A way to make these so-called second-generation biofuels biofuels made from agricultural residue or waste already exists. But because the extraction process for getting the necessary fuel out of the plant parts
is more difficult with second-generation biofuels, it is a costly and complicated process that utilizes expensive, patented enzymes controlled by a handful of large companies. Now, new research by professors from the University of Southern Denmark, the University of Baghdad, and AlMuthanna Unversity in Iraq highlights a new technique that produces biofuel without that valuable enzyme. One of the Danish researchers, Per Morgen, explained that this project worked to develop a way to produce bioethanol from cellulose, a tough, woody part of the plant that can be difficult to break down. Cellulose is the part of the cell wall in plants that gives them their semi-rigid structure, and while humans can partially digest cellulose, its not a rich nutrient source. Just like its difficult for humans to digest cellulose, its more difficult to break cellulose down into sugar to create bioethanol. The researchers found that rather than using an enzyme, the key to breaking down cellulose is an acid an acid called RHSO3H that is made from rice husks. The rice husks are burned and the resulting ash contains a high amount of silicate. When chlorosulfonic acid was combined with the silicate particles, a new molecule resulted RHSO3H. This is the molecule that can break the cellulose down to sugar that can then be fermented into alcohol to create the bioethanol.Whats most notable about this technique is, well, how logical it is! Each year, 80-130 million tons of rice husks are discarded or burnt (its hard to know an exact number, and estimates vary). Using those rice husks for fuel keeps them out of landfills, and the use of bioethanol instead of gasoline reduces CO2 emissions and fossil fuel consumption, a win-win for the environment. Selling rice husks also provides another potential revenue source for rice-growing regions, who can export them to fuel-dependent countries. Furthermore, the process cant be patented, making it more accessible to smaller companies. Making bioethanol cheaper and more accessible means even more may be produced, increasing competition, options for use, and available products, and, possibly, decreasing the price of biofuel. ith rice husks being repurposed for a variety of uses electricity, batteries, insulation, concrete, and even flour it stands to reason that well see demand for rice husks increase in the coming years.

Philippines Rice Prices Soar Due to Shortfall in Supply

Feb 27, 2014
Rice prices in the Philippines have increased sharply in the week ending February 21, 2014, with increases of up to 8% seen in some markets compared to the previous week prices.According to official sources, sharp increases in rice prices were seen in cities of Batangas, Legaspi, Cebu and Naga. In Batangas, average prices of well-milled rice increased to around P40 per kilogram (about $897 per ton), up about 8% from around P37 per kilogram (about $830 per ton) in the previous week. Prices of regular-milled rice in Batangas stand at around P37 per kilogram 9aabout $830 per ton), up about 3% from around P36 per kilogram (about $807 per ton) in the previous week, and up about 10% from average prices of regular-milled rice in 2013.Average prices of rice provided by the National Food Authority (NFA) remained stable at around P27 P32 per kilogram (about $605 $717 per ton), but stocks with the NFA remain limited.
According to the Bureau of Agriculture Statistics (BAS), total rice stocks in the Philippines stood at around 2.12 million tons as of January 1, 2014, which could last for 62 days or up to February 2014. NFA stocks of around 270,000 tons as of January 1, 2014 were enough to last just 8 days. The NFA says that rice prices are expected to decline by around P2 P4 per kilogram (about $45 $90 per ton) during March May 2014 due to higher supplies from the harvest season. owever, prices may increase again during the lean months after that, the NFA says. Local sources say that rice prices are increasing due to the crackdown on smuggling, while some economists suggest that the government should remove the quantitative restriction (QR) on rice imports to help reduce rice prices.

Thailand PM Lawyers Seek 15 Days to Respond to Rice Mortgage Program Corruption Charges
Feb 27, 2014
The legal team of Thailands caretaker Prime Ministers Pheu Thai party has said that it will res pond to charges by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) within 15 days, as pro-government protestors surfaced in Bangkok and other places to prevent a judicial coup in the country.The NAAC is investigating at least 15 cases against the PM, but it had summoned the PM today to hear charges over the populist rice mortgage program. The program was an electoral pledge of the PMs Pheu Thai party and was implemented in October 2011. While the program promised about 40-50% higher than market rates to rice farmers, it has caused losses of around $4.4 billion to the government so far. Rice exports plunged in 2012 and 2013, and the program could not run effectively due to lack of funds. Opposition leaders claim that the PM was negligent in allowing the rice mortgage program to continue despite losses and allege that the program is rife with corruption. The PM had earlier said that the rice mortgage program benefitted the farmers and blamed the opposition for not allowing the rice mortgage program to function. If found guilty, the PM could be removed from office and banned from politics for five years, something that months of anti-government protests could not do so far.However, a judicial coup is unlikely anytime soon. The Pheu Thai party hopes to gather support for the PM in the next few weeks. Local sources say
that the NAAC and the courts are unlikely to topple the government for fear of unprecedented turmoil in the country.Meanwhile, the PM is busy firefighting of the real kind. According to state media, the PM traveled to Chiang Mai today to assess the problem of forest fires there. Chiang Mai is the PMs birthplace and government supporters there say that the PM could have a temporary office in Chiang Mai, a sign that the political turmoil in Thailand is far from over.

Bolivia 2013-14 Rice Production Hurt by Floods, Says FAO

Feb 27, 2014
Rice production in Bolivia is likely to drop sharply in 2013-14 due to heavy rains at the start of the rice crop harvest in January February 2014, according to the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).The FAO says that rice production is likely to be affected by floods as three of the four key rice producing provinces (Cercado, Marban and Moxos) in the department of Beni were hit by the flooding. According to the FAO, about 43,000 hectares of different crops, including rice, are negatively impacted by the heavy rains and floods. The department of Beni accounts for around 6% of total rice production in Bolivia.Losse due to floods could lead to further decline in rice production this year. The FAO says that rice production in 2013 is estimated to drop to around 450,000 tons of paddy (about 310,000 tons, basis milled), down about 13% from the previous year mainly due to drought conditions and low temperatures during the cropping season in 2013.According to the USDA, rice consumption in Bolivia in 201314 is estimated at around 350,000 tons (basis milled) and imports are expected to increase to around 40,000 tons this year, compared to negligible quantities of imports in the previous year.

India Support Price for Rice Growing Too Fast, Says Central Bank Chief
The governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) says that the Indian government should slow down increases in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of rice and other food grains to contain food inflation.According to official data, support prices of common paddy rice stood at around Rs. 580 per quintal in 2006-2007, but the MSP increased by around 125% to around Rs. 1,310 per quintal in 2013-14.
According to local sources the average prices of rice in the domestic market have increased almost 100% in the same period. The RBI chief says that food prices should be regulated by markets and not by MSPs. He adds that rice prices have increased in India also due to a surge in rural wages due to the government's rural employment scheme.However, the chief of the Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) says that rice prices are high in India mainly due large stocks held by the government and not due to MSPs, which are below the FOB prices.The Indian government fixes the MSPs for paddy rice based on the recommendations of the CACP.

Feb 27, 2014

Rough rice futures experienced another day of increased volatility with the vast majority of trade activity focused on the March/May spread.
