I feel honored to deliver this welcome remarks for this seminar. Firstly, on behalf of FFTC, I would like to extend my gratitude to Professor Orachos Napasintuwong for her great efforts in organizing this seminar. I would also like to thank the Faculty of Economics, Kasetsart University, the Agricultural Economics Society of Thailand Under Royal Patronage and the Knowledge Institute Network of Thailand to co-organize this seminar. Our international seminar on “Promoting Farmers’ Market through Value Adding Activities” comes at a very appropriate time especially now that food security is one of the biggest issues facing agriculture in the Asian and Pacific region. Rice, being the major staple food in Asia, has to be marketed innovatively through value-adding activities. Today we have with us rice experts who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences in the production, processing and marketing of rice. And through our exchange of experiences and knowledge hopefully we can identify and articulate the major issues and come up with some suggestions and recommendations to help rice related institutions and agents, and our policy makers improve rice farmers’ market through value-added activities in their countries. I would also like to use this opportunity to explain why our organization, the Food and Fertilizer Technology Center or FFTC, an international organization, is sponsoring activities and workshops like what we are doing today. In line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, our mission is to promote the sustainable agricultural development and to increase the income and welfare of farm households in the Asian and Pacific Region. We believe that today’s topic is an important topic and consistent with our mission. Currently we have three major ways to carry out this mission. First is to spearhead the transfer of matured and adequate technologies and information including agricultural policies. Second is to promote the sharing and exchange of information among countries, and third is to bridge the technology and policy gaps that exist between developed and developing countries. It is therefore important to us to partner with academic institutions like Kasetsart University to help us in the collection and dissemination of information. Through our technology transfer mechanism which involves the identification of current problems and issues in agriculture, collection, sharing and exchange of information and dissemination and transfer of practical and adequate technologies, we hope these kinds of seminars will help in transferring the relevant and useful experiences and technological information to the rest of the agriculture community in the region. On behalf of FFTC, I would like to welcome all of you to today’s international seminar. We hope that whatever information that you can pick up from this exchange and sharing of information, you would be able to transmit this knowledge to your colleagues when you return to your own respective countries. It is my sincere hope that the information gathered from this seminar will bear fruits—something that would be beneficial to our farmers. Again, thank you very much for coming here and accepting our invitation. I wish you all a happy, meaningful and productive day! i Welcome Remark Dr. Chongrak Wachrinrat Acting President, Kasetsart University Good Morning! It is my great honor to welcome you, on behalf of Kasetsart University, to the International Seminar on Promoting Rice Farmers’ Market through Value-adding Activities. I wish to give a special welcome to Dr. Kuo-Ching Lin (Director of Food and Fertilizer Technology Center for the Asian and Pacific Region–the FTTC); Dr. Vijitsri Sanguanwongse (Dean of the Faculty of Economics Kasetsart University); Dr. Pitipong Phungbun na Ayutthaya (President of the Agricultural Economics Association of Thailand Under Royal Patronage); Dr. Kwanchai Gomez (Executive Director of Thai Rice Foundation under Royal Patronage). And, to our Distinguished Speakers and every Guest. Welcome! My hope is that all of you will benefit from insights provided by the experts who have consented to talk with us for the next two days. We look forward to your participation and your contributions to this important discussion. The Food and Fertilizer Technology Center and Kasetsart University have a long history of collaboration. Our staff have co-organized and participated in several FFTC international seminars in previous years, and this year, Kasetsart University is once again honored to collaborate in the planning for this impressive program. This year, Kasetsart celebrates its 75th Anniversary. In 1943, Kasetsart was first created as the dominated agricultural college in Thailand, and since those early years the university has expanded to become a comprehensive university offering courses in many different disciplines. Kasetsart University enjoys a strong reputation in Thailand and throughout the world -- for its academic programs, teaching, and research -- focusing on food production (including agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries); food processing (and related agro-industries); agriculture; agricultural economics; and agri- business. We are honored that in 2018, the QS World University Rankings ranks Kasetsart 40th in the world and 5th in Asia for Agriculture and Forestry. In all instances, the University’s primary mission and outreach goals continues to provide leadership and serves to advance human resource development for our Country and for the region. The International Seminar on Promoting Rice Farmers’ Market through Value-adding Activities is an excellent opportunity to learn about and discuss the most critical issues in the rice sector, which are now confronting Asia and the Pacific region. Rice is one of the most important commodities in Asia. Thus, the issues discussed here during this seminar -- how to enhance rice farmers’ productivity and expand the rice market through value-adding activities -- are vitally relevant. We are honored that Distinguished Speakers from 11 Asian countries representing governments, academic institutes, civil service organizations, non-profit organizations, and commercial bank have joined together here. This diversity of participants, representing a wide

Evidence from Bangladesh William McFall, Nicholas Magnan, David J. Spielman ABSTRACT We examine the use of hybrid rice as a pro-poor technology for subsistence rice farmers in South Asia. Hybrids, for which seed cannot be saved, is often thought to be ill-suited for poor farmers. However, poor subsistence farmers may find it advantageous to produce “sticky” hybrid rice instead of generally preferred slender open pollinated varieties, even though there is little market demand for it. We use two separately estimated double hurdle models to model the decision making process of subsistence rice-producing households as they allocate their land and consumption bundle between hybrid and open pollinated rice varieties. We find that relatively rich households are more likely to adopt hybrid rice.

  • Hybrid Rice Technology for Food Security in the Tropics: Can the Chinese Miracle Be Replicated in the Southeast Asia?
    International Symposium Sustaining Food Security and Managing Natural Resources in Southeast Asia - Challenges for the 21st Century - January 8-11, 2002 at Chiang Mai, Thailand Hybrid Rice Technology for Food Security in the Tropics: Can the Chinese Miracle be Replicated in the Southeast Asia? Aldas Janaiah, M. Hossain1, C. B. Casiwan2 and T. T. Ut3 1Project Scientist and Head respectively, Social Sciences Division, International Rice Research Institute, DAPO Box. 7777, Metro Manila; Philippines 2Science Research Specialist, Philippines Rice Research Institute, Nueva Ecija, Philippines 3Rural Development Specialist, Faculty of Economics, University of Agriculture & Forestry, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 1 Introduction Rice is the life-line for the Southeast Asians because it is not only a dominant food crop, but also plays an important role in their national economy. It accounts for a major share of cereal consumption ranging from 67% in the Philippines to 97% in Myanmar. Rice contributes about 30-76% to total daily calorie intake in the region (Table 1). Therefore, boosting the rice production and making it available to the consumers at the affordable prices is always on the top political agenda for any national government in the region. The Green Revolution-led high-yielding modern varieties (MVs) of rice and associated improved crop management practices since the late 1960s contributed significantly to achieving the food security in Asia (Barker and Herdt, 1985; Pingali et al, 1997 and Pingali and Hossain, 1999). Rice production (unmilled) in Southeast Asia rose from about 50 million tons during 1966 to about 140 million tons by 1999 with the annual growth rate of 3.2%, surpassing the population growth of 2.1% per annum.

  • 03 the Progression of Perennial Rice Breeding and Genetics Research in China
    03 THE PROGRESSION OF PERENNIAL RICE BREEDING AND GENETICS RESEARCH IN CHINA Shila Zhang1, Wensheng Wang2, Jing Zhang1, Zhang Ting2, Wangqi Huang1, Peng Xu 1, Dayun Tao 1, Binyin Fu2, Fengyi Hu1,3 1 Food Crops Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming, 650205 China 2 Crops Sciences Research Institute, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, 100018 China 3 Correspondence should be addressed to Fengyi Hu: [email protected] ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a worldwide problem of increasing concern, and perennial grain crops could be an important part of the solution. In Southeast Asia, upland rice ( O. sativa ) contributes to regional soil erosion problems because it is an annual crop grown on hilly lands. The perennial cultivars of upland rice could reduce soil erosion and meet the needs of subsistence farmers. From the viewpoint of breeding, O. longistaminata , with same genome, AA, similar to O. sativa , would be the most logical donor of genes for rhizome expression for perennial rice cultivar development, 27 PERENNIAL CROPS FOR FOOD SECURITY PROCEEDINGS OF THE FAO EXPERT WORKSHOP GENETICS AND BREEDING: STATE OF THE ART, GAPS AND O PPORTUNITIES several donor traits, such as rhizome and stolon have been employed for perenniality. Up to now, there are some results as following: 1) based on the fine mapping of the rhizome genes ( Rhz), via genomic library (BAC, Fosmid, rhizome cDNA library) construction and analysis, confirming the genetic regularity that the rhizome was controlled by two pairs of dominant complementary genes, Rhz2ࠊRhz3, and obtaining 15 rhizome locus and candidate functional genes; 2) the perennial rice breeding is on the way and some breeding lines that hold the rhizome genes were made.

  • Validating a Segment on Chromosome 7 of Japonica for Establishing Low
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Validating a segment on chromosome 7 of japonica for establishing low‑cadmium accumulating indica rice variety Kai Wang1,2,3,5, Tian‑ze Yan1,5, Shi‑long Xu1,5, Xu Yan1,4, Qun‑feng Zhou1, Xin‑hui Zhao1, Yan‑feng Li1, Zhong‑xiu Wu1,2, Peng Qin1, Chen‑jian Fu1, Jun Fu1, Yan‑biao Zhou1 & Yuan‑zhu Yang1,2,3* Cadmium (Cd) contamination of rice is a serious food safety issue that has recently been gaining signifcant public attention. Therefore, reduction of Cd accumulation in rice grains is an important objective of rice breeding. The use of favourable alleles of Cd accumulating genes using marker‑ assisted selection (MAS) is theoretically feasible. In this study, we validated a segment covering OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1 on chromosome 7 of japonica for establishing low‑cadmium accumulating indica rice variety. The OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1jap haplotype signifcantly decreased grain Cd concentration in middle‑season indica genetic background. The improved 9311 carrying the OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1jap haplotype with recurrent parent genome recovery of up to 91.6% resulted in approximately 31.8% decrease in Cd accumulation in the grain and with no penalty on yield. There is a genetic linkage‑drag between OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1 jap and the gene conditioning heading to days (HTD) in the early‑season indica genetic background. Because the OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1-Ghd7jap haplotype signifcantly increases grain Cd concentration and prolongs growth duration, the linkage‑drag between OsHMA3‑OsNramp5‑OsNramp1 and Ghd7 should be broken down by large segregating populations or gene editing. A novel allele of OsHMA3 was identifed from a wide‑compatibility japonica cultivar, the expression diferences of OsNramp1 and OsNramp5 in roots might contribute the Cd accumulating variation between japonica and indica variety.

Mashiur Rahman2 1Assistant professor, Economics, Bhawal Badre Alam Govt. College, Gazipur. Email: [email protected] 2Assistant professor, Social Work, Bhawal Badre Alam Govt. College, Gazipur Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Keywords: This study discusses the pattern and sources Stochastic; frontier of technical efficiency of rice farm in model; high yielding Bangladesh of Joypurhat district. For the variety; hybrid rice; measurement of technical efficiency, we . have used Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier model and estimated technical efficiency by specifying a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function. We have also tried to explain MLE for some specific input variables for various rice productions (HB, HYV, and Aman). We have obtained technical efficiency scores as of all 240 rice farms. The stochastic frontier presents that signs of the βi parameters of the Cobb- Douglas stochastic frontier are all positive, as expected. The estimated coefficients of land, labor, fertilizer, irrigation and pesticides on the production of HB, HYV and Aman are positive and significant. The value of R2, R (Adjusted) and F for all rice variety indicates the well fitted for the model. The technical efficiency of hybrid rice, high yielding variety and aman are estimated for four unions in Joypurhat district in Bangladesh and technical inefficiency models are also presented as a function various form specific socio- economic variables. We have identified how these factors affect the efficiency performance.
