China Faces Rice Storage Problems Due to
Government Procurement Policy
Feb 19, 2016
China is currently facing rice storage problems due to the government's procurement policy at
high prices, according to experts, reports Caixin Online.
Though the policy is very attractive to farmers, they are now the victims as the state grain buying
agency Sinograin is not in a position to buy rice as all its warehouses are filled up. While
Sinograin's warehouses can hold up to 500,000 tons of rice annually, it had to buy nearly 1.7
million tons of rice in 2013, 1.2 million tons in 2014 and 1.5 million tons in 2015.
Sinograin has been building new granaries and partnering with private companies, which can
provide storage facilities. The agency opened about 115 new warehouses across the country, but
the storage problems are still persisting. This year, several farmers in various provinces are
reportedly waiting for the agency to buy up their rice.
Industry sources say the agency still holds rice from 2013, which is feared to have spoilt. The
Sinograin planned to sell some stockpiled rice in the domestic market, but there were very few
buyers for the rice as the government is reluctant to lower selling prices.
The sources say farmers support the government's high procurement prices, which have almost
doubled import prices from Thailand and Vietnam in 2015. But other market players noted that
the government's policy of high procurement prices has distorted grain markets in the country.
One of the rice processing factory owner expressed concern that the government's purchase
policy continues would be a threat to the processing factories.
Most of the factories are managing by leasing some of their space to the Sinograin for storing
reserves. Experts are warning that more alternatives should be sought to protect farmers. They
are suggesting that the government should let the market determine the prices. They noted that
the private companies should be allowed to compete with the Sinograin in running the whole
procurement process.
Meanwhile, farmers are just hoping that more warehouses would come up and the government
would buy up their rice.

Drought and Salt Water Intrusion to Affect
330,000 Hectares of Winter-Spring Rice in
Mekong Delta, Says MARD
Feb 19, 2016
Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) is estimating that the on-
going drought and consequent salt water intrusion are likely to affect about 330,000 hectares (or
about 35%) of winter-spring rice in the Mekong Delta region, according to local sources. Winter-
spring crop accounts for about 62% of the Delta’s annual rice production.
More than 950,000 hectares of winter-spring rice has been planted in the delta's eight coastal
provinces – Long An, Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, Kien Giang, and
Hau Giang.
The delta is reportedly facing the worst drought and salt water intrusion in 90 years, according to
the MARD sources. They noted that last year rainy season started late and ended early due to the
El Nino phenomenon. Lesser rains have caused a shortage of fresh water and salt water intrusion
to begin two months earlier than normal, they said. Salt water reportedly encroached 40-90
kilometers inland up the delta's major rivers, 10-15 kilometers further than usual.
The provincial administrations are taking measures to mitigate the damages, including
restructuring crop cultivation schedules, building temporary dams and dredging canals to store
fresh water and installing public pumps. However, they are not able to contain the damages to
agriculture.
Speaking at a seminar in Can Tho City on Wednesday, the Agriculture Minister called for long-
term solutions to deal with drought and salt water intrusion. But mobilizing funds to implement
sustainable solutions is a major challenge, he said.
In the same seminar, the Deputy Prime Minister said each province should have a comprehensive
plan to combat the current situation. He noted that the government would allocate VND2.3
trillion (around $104 million) from bonds and official development assistance loans for the delta
to combat drought and salt water intrusion. He also ordered the Ministry of Finance to allocate
around VND2 million (around $95) per hectare to affected households.

“Rice exporters contribute a major share to the country’s export earnings and are providing direct
and indirect employment to millions, ” he said. “Rice is the second largest export commodity,
but despite earning $2 billion annually, we are not being given benefits while exporters of other
commodities are facilitated,” he added.
The REAP Chairman also noted that rice exporters are facing with several problems and
consequently their export capacity is being severely impacted. He noted that exports are already
below target both in terms of value and volume. Absence of zero-rated facility and imposition of
sales tax would further be burdensome to exporters.
He said that the association has also written letters to the Finance and Commerce Ministers
asking them to provide zero sales tax facility to rice exporters and exempt them from sales tax
and income tax on utility services.
