PERSPECTIVESTuesday, 20 September, 2011

Work harmoniously togetherfor rice sector development

There is an urgent need for food sufficiencyacross the globe due to climate change. In Asia,regional food security is closely interrelatedwith rice market. Being an agro-based country,it is required for Myanmar to put more effortsfor development of rice production businessesand rice sector.

Boosting rice production calls for variouskinds of ways and means. In agricultural sector,the government is encouraging in reclamationof more vacant farmlands for agriculturalpurpose and implementation of mechanizedfarming on a wider scale. It is vital not only toextend arable land but also to boost per acreyield. Fully use of farm equipment and adequatesupply of quality paddy strains are points thatshould be taken into consideration.

Rice and paddy companies are to make all-out efforts in the process of providing qualitypaddy strains. It is required to place emphasison quality of rice in order to be marketable ininternational market. Ensuring quality rice callsfor minimizing loss and wastage during theperiod from harvest to storage. Assistance is tobe provided for fully use of driers and combinedharvesters.

Now is the time the government is strivingfor rural development and poverty alleviation.Only with more production of quality rice, willfarmers be able to generate more incomes.Cultivation of summer paddy as a major crop inirrigated farmlands effectively, use of newquality paddy strains and applying goodagricultural methods on a wider scale are ofvital importance to boosting rice production.

Moreover, rice and paddy companies are torender necessary assistance for ensuring costefficiency in rice and agricultural cropsproduction, having access to reliable marketand fetching good price.

Rice and paddy business is wide.Development of rice sector needs collaborativeefforts. Only when rice and paddy companiesand rice and paddy entrepreneurs includingdepartments concerned worked harmoniouslytogether, will the rice sector develop, therebygenerating more incomes for farmers.

UN appeals for $356 million to help flood-hitPakistan

ISLAMABAD, 19 Sept—The United Nations on Sunday launched an appeal to raise 356 million USdollars under its ‘Rapid Response Plan 2011’to provide emergency relief to the flood- hit areasin southern and southwestern Pakistan.

The Rapid Response Plan 2011 was launched by Humanitarian Coordinator of United Nations, TimoPakkala, at a ceremony in Islamabad on the appeal made by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari whenhe phoned the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for generating funds to help the affected people.

The UN representative said the plan was initially to provide shelter, food, medicines and cleandrinking water in the affected Sindh and Balochistan Provinces.

Timo Pakkala said this plan was for initial response to the needs and demands of the flood victimsand it will be reviewed after 45 days.

He said the UN has already started supply of food, shelter, medicines and other basic needs of lifeto the flood affected areas without waiting for the funds to be generated. He said, with the presentresources of Pakistan government, only 30 percent of needed shelter could be provided to the homelessvictims.

He said 1.8 million people have been displaced and 64 percent of people in the flood-hit areas arewithout clean drinking water while 67 percent of food stock had been destroyed.—Xinhua

Air Force pilot and instructor John “Jack” Mangancrashed and burst into flames before hundreds of stunnedspectators. The pilot died but no fans were injured.

As investigators in both crashes worked to determinecauses, pilots and experts were perplexed by the lack ofexplosion in Reno. It could have meant many moreinjured and killed.

“We are in the early stage of this investigation andwill be looking at this as part of our investigation,”National Transportation Safety Board spokesman TerryWilliams said Sunday.

Pilot Ray Sherwood of Placerville, Calif., who wasat the Reno race, said it’s been a hot topic of discussion.

AngloGold chief sees gold at $2,200/ozby 2012

CRIPPLE CREEK, (Colo) 19 Sept—The chiefexecutive of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd said he expectsgold prices to hit $2,200 an ounce by next year andhinted the South African miner could boost itsdividend. The bullish forecast from CEO MarkCutifani on Sunday comes as the uneasy economiclandscape — including an unstable euro, recentlyhamstrung Swiss franc and tenuous US debt situation— push investors into the precious metal.

“Given that we’ve already seen $1,900 (perounce) gold, I don’t think it’s unreasonable toexpect a price going up to $2,000, even $2,200,”Cutifani told Reuters during a tour of AngloGold’sCripple Creek & Victor mine in Colorado.

“It’s based on what’s happening in the markets,

the issues in the US and Europe.” The price of goldhas jumped about 40 percent in the past 12 monthsalone. Spot prices are currently trading around$1,800 an ounce. “We’re making cash at anythingabove $1,000 an ounce,” Cutifani said. “So we’repretty well-positioned now.”

Cutifani and other mining executives will meetin Colorado Springs, Colorado, this week for theannual Denver Gold Forum, one of the largestgatherings of its kind in the world.

Forecasts for the price of gold will be the talk ofthe town, but many investors also will be pepperingCEOs with requests for higher dividend payouts.

While Johannesburg-based AngloGold raisedits dividend last month to 12 cents per share, itsdividend yield is roughly 45 percent of BarrickGold’s the world’s largest miner and a majorcompetitor. AngloGold had $839 million in cash atthe end of June, funds that could help it lift itsquarterly payout.—Reuters

Asian markets fall on new Europe fears NEW YORK, 19 Sept—Asian stock markets fell

on Monday after European finance heads failed toagree a plan to solve the region’s debt woes, whilethey also put off a decision on releasing rescuefunds to Greece.

Hong Kong fell 2.05 percent, Sydney was 1.81percent down, Seoul shed 1.03 percent and Shanghaiwas 1.31 percent lower.

Tokyo was closed for a public holiday.Asian markets had rallied before the meeting on

Friday after the European Central Bank and its US,Japanese, Swiss and British counterparts offered toinject US dollars into lenders squeezed by Europe’sdebt crisis.

However Credit Agricole said in a note toclients: “Any improvement in sentiment followingthe US dollar liquidity announcement by variouscentral banks last week is already filtering awayagainst the background of EU officials’ failure tomake any headway over the weekend.”

The downbeat news from Poland put freshdownward pressure on the euro Monday, virtuallywiping out its strong gains on the back of the centralbanks’ move. The single currency was at $1.3663in early Asian trade, from $1.3802 late Friday inNew York, and at 105.06 yen, from 105.91 yen.

Sangamo gene therapyshows promise in

reducing HIVNEW YORK, 19 Sept—An early stage trial of

Sangamo BioSciences Inc’s HIV treatment foundthat the gene therapy reduced levels of the virus andeven eliminated it in one patient with a naturallyoccurring gene mutation.

The very small Phase 1 trial tested the SB-728-T gene therapy, which is designed to disrupt theCCR5 gene used by HIV to infect cells of theimmune system.

If shown to be safe and effective, the treatmentcould end the need for the antiretroviral drugs nowused to keep the virus that causes AIDS in check bysuppressing viral replication in the blood.

Trial results presented in Chicago on Sunday atthe Interscience Conference on AntimicrobialAgents and Chemotherapy show a “statisticallysignificant relationship between estimatedmodification of both copies of the CCR5 gene andviral load,” said Dr Carl June, trial investigator anddirector of translational research at the Universityof Pennsylvania’s cancer research institute.

In a statement, June said the results suggest theneed to increase the frequency of the modified cellsin HIV-infected patients, which could lead to a“functional cure” for AIDS, but the means ofachieving this have not been clarified.

Sangamo said earlier this year that a singleinfusion of the treatment improved immune systemdamage in nearly all of the subjects analyzed in thefirst trial of the therapy in humans.

The 10 patients in the trial were on antiretroviraltherapy when the study began. After four weeks,six of them went on a “treatment interruption,”during which they stopped taking antiviralmedication for 12 weeks.

Not enough kids drink low-fatmilk, US Study Finds

WASHINGTON , 19 Sept—Not enough childrenand teens drink low-fat milk, a new report from theUS Centres for Disease Control and Preventionreveals. Drinking milk is important for children’sbone health, but CDC experts advise that althoughyoung people need the calcium, vitamin D andother nutrients found in milk, children aged 2 andolder should consume low-fat milk and milkproducts to avoid unnecessary fat and calories.

The research, published in a CDC report titled“Low-fat Milk Consumption Among Children andAdolescents in the United States, 2007-2008,”showed that about 73 percent of children and teensdrink milk, but only about 20 percent of them saythey usually drink low-fat milk (skim or 1 percent).

Meanwhile, the 2007-2008 National Health andNutrition Examination Survey also revealed that about45 percent drink reduced-fat milk (2 percent) and 32percent reported they drink whole milk regularly.

Older children and teens drink low-fat milkmore often than younger children. Although 13percent of kids aged 2 to 5 usually drink low-fatmilk, 21 percent of kids aged 6 to 11 years said theydo, along with 23 percent of teens aged 12 to 19.

Ethnicity and income also seem to play a role inthe type of milk children consume. White childrendrink low-fat milk more often than black or Hispanicchildren. About 28 percent of the white participantssaid low-fat milk was their usual milk type, comparedto just 5 percent of blacks and 10 percent ofHispanics.—Internet

Deep oceans put global warming on temporaryHiatus

WASHINGTON, 19Sept—The world isprojected to continuewarming over thecentury; however, theincrease isn’t expected tobe a smooth one.Projections show thattemperatures will likelystabilize for periods as longas a decade before thewarming continues.

So where is that extraheat going? The deepoceans, scientists say.

“We will see globalwarming go throughhiatus periods in thefuture,” said GeraldMeehl, lead author of anew study that connectswarming hiatuses withabsorption of heat by thedeep ocean and a scientistat the National Centre forAtmospheric Research(NCAR) in Colorado.“However, these periodswould likely last onlyabout a decade or so, andwarming would thenresume. This study

illustrates one reason whyglobal temperatures do notsimply rise in a straightline.” To figure out wherethe heat was going, Meehland his colleagues ran fivesimulations on a computermodel that portrayscomplex interactionsbetween the atmosphere,land, oceans and sea ice.

Their results showedthat temperatures wouldrise by several degreesduring this century, butwith hiatus periodsinterrupting the increase.During these hiatusperiods, simulationsshowed that extra energyentered the deep oceans,absorbing a dispro-portionate amount ofheat. They found thevast area deeper than1,000 feet (300 metres)warmed by about 18 to 19percent more during thehiatus periods than at othertimes. Meanwhile,shallower waters warmedsubstantially less.

“This study suggeststhe missing energy hasindeed been buried in theocean,” said KevinTrenberth, a study authorand NCAR scientist.“The heat has notdisappeared and so itcannot be ignored. It musthave con-sequences.”Their study showed thatthe deep-ocean ab-sorption of heat had afamiliar effect. During ahiatus period, sea-surface temperaturesdecreased across thetropical Pacific, whileincreasing in the higherlatitudes.

This pattern re-sembles that of a La Niñaevent (El Niño’scounterpart), a climatepattern marked by coolertropical Pacific tem-peratures.

Google’s country head in India, RajanAnandan, told the Wall Street Journal that thecompany forecasts India will reach at least 300million Internet users by 2014, up from about 100million now.

With just eight percent of its 1.2-billionpopulation online, India is already the third-largestInternet market by users, behind China and theUnited States.

“Despite a lot of the infrastructure challengeswe have as a country, 100 million Indians areonline,” Anandan, a former Microsoft executivewho took over Google’s India operations in March,told the newspaper.

“They’re spending a huge amount of timeonline and they’re doing a varied set of thingsonline.”

But capitalizing on that huge emerging audiencewill be challenging in a country where televisionand newspapers draw the most advertising and thegovernment is throwing up regulatory hurdles.

“Making money off that growing audience,though, is proving difficult thus far for Google andother Internet companies,” Anandan told thenewspaper.

Indian online ad spending is only about $200million per year — a small fraction of the $80billion global digital advertising industry.

Barnett said China - the biggest buyer ofAustralia’s iron ore and coal - was “certainly veryunhappy” about the federal government’s MineralsResource Rent Tax targeting those two commodities.

“I think they’re making a point here ... that theyunderstand that WA does not support the mining taxand therefore are getting closer to the WA governmentin dealing with that and all other issues that affect theirtrade.” The Western Australia-China agreement coversa broad range of sectors including resources, energy,agriculture, food and infrastructure.

Both ways includedconstruction of cables lines across theThanlwin River and it would cost toomuch higher than the normal cable lines.Now, the ministry was making assessmentto transport power from the national gridto Chaungzon and had a plan to makeassessment to find other suitable ways.

U Myo Myint of Mandalay RegionConstituency No. 6 asked the Ministry ofElectric Power No. 2 whether theministry had a plan to improve thesystem of the River Water PumpingStation Project (Kyawzi) to be able tofully supply water to 8,000 acres in itscatchment area; whether the ministry

had a plan to continue to carry out theirrigation from the main canal of theHsintewa (Thamatku) Dam as 500 acresof farmland in the catchment had notyet supplied irrigation water thoughthe water pumping system(Chaungzon) and other related workshad been completed since 10 year ago;whether the ministry had a plan tosupply water from the main canal ofthe Welaung Dam to 745 acres offarmland and local villages as the waterpumping Station project (Kanni) andother related works had been completed;and whether the ministry had a timeframe to complete the construction ofte 33/11/0.4 KV sub-power station atWaelaung Village which would helpimprovement of water pumping stationprojects and power supply to villagesin about 20-mile radius of Taungtha.

In his answers, the Union Ministersaid to be able to supply power to the riverwater pumping stations and towns and

villages in Myingyan, Natogyi, Taungtha,Mahlaing and NyaungU townships, a mainsub-power station equipped with two45MVA transformers had been establishedin Myingyan.

The main sub-power station had beenran around the clock as from 25 October,2003, using just 20% of the capacity ofthe transformer, and could sufficientlysupply power to the extended systems ofthe Kyawzi River Water Pumping Station,he said.

For the second question, the UnionMinister said the Ministry had constructedone 160KVA transformer near ChaungsonVillage in Taungtha Township andtransported power to water pumpingstation on the main canal of the Hsintewa(Thamatku) Dam through the 11KVTaungtha-Waelaung cables as from 1February, 2001. The power supply wasstopped as from 29 November, 2010, onthe request of the Taungtha TownshipWater Resources Utilization Department.

Power could be supplied to the waterpumping project on the main canal of theHsintewa (Thamatku) Dam around theclock if the project resumed, the UnionMinister said.

For the third question, the Unionminister said a sub-power station equippedwith two 33/11KV transformers inTaungtha to the Water Pumping Station(Kanni) on the main canal of the WaelaungDam. The Ministry supplied power to theWater Pumping Station (Kanni) aroundthe clock as from 24 July, 2011, since ithad constructed the 11 KV cables linkingTaungtha, Welaung and Kanni and hadestablished the 100 KVA sub-power stationat the Water Pumping Station (Kanni).

(from page 9)only about 45 % of the output of the 33KV sub-power station in Taungtha.Therefore, two water pumping stationsand 10 villages in Taungtha Townshiphad been supplied power sufficiently.

Therefore, still, it was not required toconstruct the 33/11 KV (1.25 MVA) sub-power station at Waelaung Village, and ifwater pumping stations extended theirworks and power consuming rate washigher in the areas, the construction of thesub-power station would be carried out.

U Kyaw Kyaw of Rakhine Stateconstituency No. 2 asked whether theministry had a plan to extend thenational grid network to Rakhine Statefor development of the state givingconsideration to Kyaukpyu off-shoreoil and natural gas exploration.

The Union Minister replied that aconsortium group led by DaewooInternational Corporation had carried outthe off-shore oil and natural gas explorationin Rakhine State , according to informationfrom the Ministry of Energy, companiesfrom the Republic of Korea, Singapore,China and India had been carrying outoff-shore oil and natural gas explorationand inland exploration in Sittway. Whenthe companies found natural gas, therewould be opportunities to use electricityin Rakhine State.

Today, hydropower projectsincluding Thahtaychaung, An, Laymyoand Saidin were being implemented inRakhine State and the projects couldgenerate power sufficiently for RakhineState and could transport to the nationalgrid. A plan had been laid down toconstruct the 230 KV cable lines and mainsub-power stations to build a power supplynetwork.

Plans had been made to supply powergenerated by Thahtaychaung hydropowerstation to Taungup, Mai, Kyaukpyu andAn, power from Laymyo and Saidinhydropower stations to Kyauktaw,Sittway, MraukU, Minbya, Pauktaw,Myaypon, Kansauk, Ponnagyun,Buthidaung and Maungdaw and totransport the power surplus to the nationalgrid. Plans to construct natural gas-firedpower station would be laid down onlywhen the conditions demanded to be takeninto consideration, he said.

U Than Myint of TaninthayiRegion constituency No. 10 askedwhether the ministry had a plan toimplement the hydro power stationwhich could generate about 600megawatts at Ganangwin Village inTaninthayi township as the projecthad been announced by the State Peaceand Development Council.

Union Minister for Electric PowerNo. 1 U Zaw Min said to implement theproject, the Ministry of Electric PowerNo. 1 and Italian-Thai DevelopmentPublic Co Ltd inked the MoU on 9,October, 2008, and the project would beimplemented under the joint venture andBOT system. The Ministry was making

representatives.U Zaw Naing Oo of Mon State

Constituency No. 12 asked whether theState will undertake development ofsugarcane cultivation and productionas an industrial crop and whether thegovernment will supervise fixing offair prices for crops focusing on livingstandard of sugarcane growers. TheUnion Minister replied that the State hasadopted systematic plans for developmentof sugarcane with five basic points suchas use of quality high yield strain, use ofgood agricultural methods, timely use ofinputs, fertilizers and natural fertilizersincluding agriculture, minimizing loss andwastage from cultivation to harvestingcrops including inputs, and seeking farmmarket for produced crops. Higher yieldstrains of sugarcane are being propagatedand such strains will be distributed to thefarmers on a basis of local demand.Distribution of special yield strain of qualitysugarcane, encouragement to use of goodagriculture method for improvement ofquality and boosting production, transferof sugar mills to private sector for enablingthe sugarcane growers to be engaged infree cultivation and production ofsugarcane as industrial crop.

As part of effort to strive for progressof all sectors, the government placesspecial emphasis on providing assistancefor farmers of sugarcane, tapioca, cotton,rubber and oil palm. The ministriesconcerned disbursed agricultural loansfor the industrial crop growers. TheMinistry of Industry-1 disbursed K 43.672

million as agricultural loan for sugarcanegrowers in Bilin region.

As 47 years old Bilin Sugar Mill isbeing operated with old machines,production cost is higher than incomes.To be able to save the cost of expenditure,most of the workers and staff of the millwere transferred to No. 22 General HeavyIndustry (Bilin) of the Ministry of Industry-2. However, cost is still greater than theexpenditure. Despite the circumstance ofclosing the mill, a plan is underway tolease the mill to private entrepreneur forthe sake of sugarcane cultivators in theregion.

Zeyawady Sugar Mill of the Ministryof Industry-1 faces loss annually. As anact of saving the loss, the ministrysuspended the mill in 2010-2011 financialyear and implements the plan to lease it toprivate entrepreneur.

It is necessary to consider win-winsituation to gain correct answer. Thus, itshould consider benefits of the sugarcanegrowers, the State and the consumersfairly.

U Aung Kyaw Oo (a) U Khin Maungof Rakhine State Constituency No. 3 saidthat various industries are beingoperated at industrial zones in otherregions and states. Small-scale cottageindustries in Sittway were dissolved inParliamentary period in the post-independence period. He askedwhether there is a plan to establishindustries in the area. The Union Ministerreplied that the Industrial DevelopmentCommittee was formed for supervisingthe State-owned and private-ownedindustries to develop the industrial sectorof the State. The committee wasconstituted with 12 subcommittees.

Such subcommittees comprise small-scale and medium-scale industrialdevelopment subcommittee and industrialzone development subcommittee. Thereare 18 industrial zones in the entire nation,and plans are being implemented foremergence of more new industrial zones.At present, construction of Hpa-anIndustrial Zone commences in Kayin State.Moreover, industrial zones will beestablished in a suitable land nearPonnagyun and Sittway for developmentof small-scale and medium-scaleindustries.

Union Minister for Commerce U WinMyint replied to questions raised by twoHluttaw representatives.

U Tun Zaw (a) Ko Pauk of BagoRegion Constituency said that in someglobal countries, the government ororganization buys various crops at fairprices to save the cultivation costs offarmers and sell machinery and inputs atreasonable prices for reducing thecultivation cost as part of efforts toprevent declining of sown acreage andproduction of crops of farmers.Therefore, he asked he would like toknow how the government will solve thedifficulties of farmers not to declinevolume of producing paddy and beansfor serving the interest of the State andthe growers. The Union Minister saidthat in 2010-2011 cultivation season,19.60 million acres of monsoon andsummer paddy produced 1285.97baskets of paddy, and of them, 0.537million ton of rice was exported.

During four years period from 2007-2008 to 2010-2011 fiscal year, 0.895million ton of rice as largest volume wasexported to fetch US$ 279.683 millionwhereas exporting of 0.365 million ton ofrice as least volume fetched US$ 104.579million. Most of them were exported toAfrica, so it is necessary to seek market inAsia. Moreover, efforts are to be made forsustaining farm markets buying Emahta100 per cent and Pawhsan 100 per cent,and local farmers are encouraged to growsuch strains of paddy.

Under the management of the State,companies, Myanmar AgriculturalDevelopment Bank and cooperativesocieties provide agricultural loans, inputsand farming equipment to the farmers. Atotal of 60 companies disbursed K 29.319billion as agricultural loans to 61,473farmers for 628,542 acres of monsoonand summer paddy, and beans and pulsesin 2009-2010, K 35.959 billion to 100,939farmers for 807,063 acres of land in2010-2011 and K 17.143 billion to 51,724farmers for 377,567 acres of monsoonpaddy and beans and pulses in 2011-2012.

during their WBC welterweight titlefight, in Las Vegas.—INTERNET

In this photo provided by the Las VegasNews Bureau, referee Joe Cortez checkson Victor Ortiz during a WBC Welter-weight boxing bout against FloydMayweather, on 17 Sept, 2011, in LasVegas.Mayweather won by a knockout

in the fourth round.—INTERNET

LAS VEGAS, 19 Sept — FloydMayweather Jr won the fight with aquestionable — if legal — pair ofpunches that Victor Ortiz never sawcoming. He followed it by berating an80-year-old announcer in the ring anddemanding he be fired. Later on hewould insinuate that the only wayManny Pacquiao keeps winning is thathe's juiced.

All in a night's work for boxing'sbad boy, and a profitable one at that.Probably not as profitable asMayweather claims, but a huge paydaywithout doubt. He sells because peoplebuy pay-per-views to either cheer himon or yell at the big screen in hopes hewill lose. On Saturday night he won forthe 42nd straight time, and he wasn'tabout to offer up apologies for how itwas done.

"Once we touch gloves it's fighttime," Mayweather said. "It's open sea-son." Mayweather came back from a

16-month layoff to stop a fighter 10years younger than him, which by itselfwasn't much of a surprise. He was a 5-1favorite to use his speed and experienceagainst an opponent who was in amegafight for the first time. The way hedid it, though, was the story of the nightat the MGM Grand hotel arena.

Those who love Mayweather willsay he exploited a mistake by the rela-tively inexperienced Ortiz. Those whohate him will claim he's a dirty fighterwho hit Ortiz when he wasn't expectingit. Mayweather himself didn't reallyseem to care either way."Eventuallyhe was going to get knocked outanyway," Mayweather said. "Whatcomes around goes around. Thingshappen in this sport. It's protectyourself at all times."—Internet
