Pakistan Traders Keen to Re-Export India Rice
Nov 12, 2013

Some Pakistan rice exporters say that the country’s overall economy could benefit from awarding the Most
Favored Nation (MFN) status to India and allowing rice imports from India.According to local sources, some
Pakistan rice exporters are eyeing re-export of rice to countries in Central Asia and the Middle East. Exporters
stand to benefit from lesser distance from such markets compared to India. Moreover, production costs are
increasing in Pakistan and sales of Pakistan basmati rice is low in the international market this year partly due to
high prices. Another promising market that Pakistan rice exporters have access to is China, the world’s largest
rice importer.India has already awarded the MFN status to Pakistan in 1996 under WTO rules. Pakistan is likely
to award the MFN status to India next month, say sources in Pakistan. However, the move is opposed by rice
farmers and some exporters in Pakistan who say that imports of low-priced rice from India will destroy the
languishing local rice industry.The Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP) says that India imposes an
import duty of around 70% on rice imports, compared to around 14% in Pakistan. REAP wants the two
countries to first
equalize the rice
trade
tariffs
or
remove
those
completely before
awarding the MFN
status
to
India
which will allow
free movement of
rice
and
other
agriculture
items
between the two
countries.

Global Rice Trade Forecast to Decline in 2012-13 and 2013-14
Nov 12, 2013

Global rice trade is likely to decline in 2012-13 and 2013-14 due to lower purchases by leading importers and
poor production prospects in India and China, according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO).Rice trade in 2012-13 is expected to reach around 37.6 million tons, down about 2% from around 38.4
million tons in the previous year. In 2013-14, global rice trade is likely to decline further by aorund 0.5% to
around 37.4 million tons, according to the FAO.Indonesia, Iran, South Korea and the Philippines are all
expected to reduce their imports due to abundant supplies. Production is increasing in all these countries while
rice consumption is on the decline in South Korea. Imports by African countries are also likely to decline. The
FAO says that China’s rice imports are likely to remain high in 2012-13 and 2013-14, but may decline if global
prices increase.Among exporters, India is expected to remain the world’s largest rice exporter in 2012-13 and in
2013-14, but exports are likely to slow down from 2011-12 due to higher stock utilization under the National
Food Security Law. "India is expected to bear much of the brunt of the 2014 contraction in world trade,
shipping 9 million tons of rice or 1.2 million tonnes less than estimated for 2013," FAO says. Exports by
Pakistan, the U.S. and Vietnam are also likely to decline. However, Thailand’s rice exports may recover in
2012-13 and 2013-14 due to decline in export prices.The FAO also lowered its forecast for 2013-14 world rice
production to around 494 million tons, still up about 1% from 2012-13 due to worsening of crop prospects in
China and India.Global rice utilization in 2013-14 is forecast to reach 489 million tons, up about 2.6% or 12
million tons from the previous year.

North Korea 2013-14 Rice Production May Decline 6% to 1.7 million Tons
Nov 12, 2013

Food insecurity is expected to continue in North Korea with rice production in 2013-14 forecast to reach around
1.7 million tons, down about 6% from the previous year, according to the FAO.
Rice consumption in North Korea stands at around 1.9 million tons until summer 2014, while rice per capita
consumption in the country is estimated at around 67.2 kilograms per person per year, unchanged from last
year.

Oryza Overnight Recap – Chicago Rough Rice Futures Trade to Double Digit Gain
Overnight but Trade Volume Remains Depressed; Grain Complex Begins Morning
Higher
Nov 12, 2013

Chicago rough rice futures for January delivery are currently paused 10.5 cents per cwt (about $2 per ton)
higher at $15.735 per cwt (about $347 per ton) as of 8:30am Chicago time. The other grains are seen higher this
morning ahead of floor trading in Chicago: soybeans are currently seen about 0.3% higher, wheat is seen about
0.3% higher, and corn is paused about 0.3% higher.U.S. stock index futures pointed to a lower open on Wall
Street on Tuesday, with Wall Street poised for a pause a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at
another record high. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 have hit record heights, the latter at the end of October, as
the Federal Reserve held off on reducing its $85 billion in monthly asset purchases, also known as quantitative
easing. In China, government officials ended a four-day gathering held to plan economic reforms, saying they
would let markets take on a larger part in deciding where resources go. Attention remains firmly on the Federal
Reserve on Tuesday too with key comments expected from Fed presidents Dennis Lockhart and Narayana
Kocherlakota when they speak later today. U.S. stock index futures are currently trading about 0.2% lower, gold
is currently trading marginally higher, crude oil is seen trading about 0.1% lower, and the U.S. dollar is
currently trading about 0.1% higher at 7:30am Chicago time.

Oryza Afternoon Recap – Chicago Rough Rice Futures Tumble as Selling Pressure
Builds; Chart Stages Bearish Reversal
Nov 12, 2013

Chicago rough rice futures for January delivery settled 10 cents per cwt (about $2 per ton) lower at $15.530 per
cwt (about $342 per ton). Rough rice futures turned negative today as prices faced firm technical resistance
from the upper Bollinger band, noted at $15.757 per cwt (about $347 per ton) today. Selling pressure intensified
as the trading session continued and by the afternoon prices had fallen to a 15 cent per cwt (about $3 per ton)
loss on the session. In addition to technical pressures additional selling was likely triggered by a bearish turn in
the corn and wheat pits; soybeans finished the day about 1% higher at $13.1925 per bushel; wheat finished
about 0.2% lower at $6.4525 per bushel; and corn finished the day about 0.6% lower at $4.3225 per bushel.U.S.
stocks declined on Tuesday, with Wall Street slipping after a two-session rise that had the Dow Jones Industrial
Average hitting a record close and the S&P 500 coming to within a point of its all-time finish, as Wall Street
considered the timing of any moves by the Federal Reserve to curb stimulus. After fluctuating on either side of
neutral, the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted modest losses. Utilities and financials led sector losses and
telecommunications and technology its gains on the S&P 500. The Nasdaq also lost ground, after initially
fluctuating on either side of neutral. U.S. stock markets are currently trading down about 0.4%, gold is trading
about 0.9% lower, crude oil is seen trading about 2.2% lower, and the U.S. dollar is seen trading about 0.1%
higher at about 2:00pm Chicago time.Turning to the daily continuation chart of Chicago rough rice futures for

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

January delivery, today’s action confirmed yesterday’s topping formation and prices moved lower after a
morning attempt to rally failed. The market did manage to chart out a fresh near-term high of $15.765 per cwt
(about $348 per ton), however it also broke through and closed below yesterday’s session low. Technicians see
this as a negative technical development known as a “bearish engulfing” pattern and forecasts are for prices to
continue lower tomorrow. Today’s losses were limited by underlying support provided by the 50-day moving
average, seen at $15.475 per cwt (about $341 per ton), a level that will likely come into play again during the
coming trading sessions. Today’s trading range is noted as $15.480-$15.765 per cwt (about $341-$348 per
ton).Monday, there were 538 contracts traded, up from 510 contracts traded on Friday. Open interest – the
number of contracts outstanding – on Monday decreased by 52 contracts to 8,460.

Oryza U.S. Rough Rice Recap – Market Remains Firm Despite Limited Trade;
Harvest Now Complete
Nov 12, 2013

The U.S. cash market continues to remain firm despite limited trade activity as sellers hold out for higher prices
as supplies tighten. Some analysts contend that buyers will likely have to pay up to get farmers to move their
rice although most insist that there is very little demand at the levels needed for that to occur.Offers increased to
around $15.65-$16.66 per fob farm (about $345-$367 per ton), depending on where they are located in the U.S.
mid-South, for November through December shipment. Bids from most larger mills decreased to around $14.90
per cwt (about $328 per ton ) while bids from exporters could still be seen around $15.40 per cwt (about $340
per ton), both for November through December delivery, however no trades were reported although there were
rumors of next year’s crop trading around $14.40 per cwt (about $317 per ton) for delivery before the end of
2014.In the meantime, the USDA released their crop progress report today however the harvest progress for
Rice was omitted indicating that the rice harvest is, for all intents and purposes, complete.
