Indonesia Claims Rice Surplus of 5.4 Million Tons in 2013
Dec 30, 2013

The Agriculture Ministry says that Indonesia’s 2013 rice production is estimated to reach around 39.8 million
tons against a consumption of around 34.4 million tons, suggesting a surplus of around 5.4 million tons of rice
in 2013, according to state media.The surplus rice is about double the 2.7 million tons of rice required as buffer
stocks by the government by the end of 2013. According to the Agriculture minister, rice production in 2014 is
expected to grow by around 8% to about 43 million tons, which is expected to keep Indonesia self-sufficient in
rice in 2014.However, according to the USDA, 2013 rice production in Indonesia is projected at around 36.55
million tons against a consumption of around 39.5 million tons and imports of around one million tons. The
USDA estimates Indonesia’s rice import requirements to grow to around 1.5 million tons in 2014.

Agriculture Land Shrinking in China; World Bank Provides Loans to Reduce Soil
Pollution
Dec 30, 2013

Growing population, industrialization and rapid economic growth are putting unprecedented pressure on
China’s agriculture resources, and have become a threat to food security in the country and the world.According

Cell # 92 321 369 2874

to China’s national land survey figures released recently, total arable land in the country stood at around 135.4
million hectares at the end of 2012. This is still about 15.4 million hectares above the “red line” of a minimum
120 million hectares earmarked to ensure food security in China. However, pollution of land and water are
eroding agriculture land in China. Coupled with increasing population, China’s per capita arable area now
stands at around 0.1 hectare, almost half of the global average of around 0.2 hectare.According to government
officials in China, it was found from the survey that about 3 million hectares of land is now unsuitable for rice
cultivation due to heavy contamination by poisonous heavy metals in soil and water.
Officials say that per capita arable area in China continues to decline due to a growing population and rapid
urbanization.The Chinese government has banned cultivation of rice in polluted land, and is planning to spend
billions of yuan to reduce pollution levels in soil and water by 2015. Government efforts are likely to get a
boost by the World Bank’s approval of four loans totaling $520 million to China last week. The loans are meant
to support developmental goals in China, mainly in the control of agricultural pollution and climate-resilient
sustainable agriculture.China is the world’s largest rice producer, but the country became the world’s largest
rice importer in the last few years mainly due to high production costs. Sources say that rice yield in China is
reaching its peak and it is difficult to see China’s rice production increase in coming years. However, China’s
increasing dependency on food grains and rice may jeopardize food security in some African rice importers.
