Rice importers set for gov’t deals amid India ban

PHILIPPINE STAR/KRIZ JOHN ROSALES

SINGAPORE — Global rice importers are likely to seek direct deals with governments in exporting countries as India’s ban on shipments of a key variety is squeezing supplies and igniting concerns over food security.

Buyers from Africa to Asia are likely to scramble for rice shipments as supplies tighten in coming months following India’s decision last week to ban non-basmati white rice exports.

The ban will cut availability of the staple on world markets by about a fifth, traders and analysts said, and could lead to importers seeking more government-to-government deals to overcome shortages and tame spiralling prices.

“Export restrictions inherently reduce trust in the dependability of international trade,” said Shirley Mustafa, rice market analyst at the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

“Thus, they could result in importing countries looking at government-to-government deals to ensure supplies.”

While announcing its export ban last week, India has left the door ajar for such deals, saying that it will consider meeting the requirements of countries in need of rice supplies.

INDIA’S GOVERNMENT DEALS
Last September, India banned exports of broken rice in a bid to cool domestic prices, but since then official data shows the country approved sales of around one million metric tons of broken rice to Indonesia, Senegal, Gambia, Mali and Ethiopia.

“The current ban excludes government-to-government sales, and it remains within the government’s prerogative,” said B.V. Krishna Rao, president of the Rice Exporters Association.

“A decision will be made based on the needs of importing countries and the supply situation in the local market.”

African buyers are likely to approach the Indian government for rice sales, and Asian importers such as Indonesia and the Philippines could sign government-to-government contracts with the region’s top exporters Thailand and Vietnam, traders said.

Indonesia has signed an agreement with the Indian government to potentially import one million metric tons of rice if the El Niño weather pattern hits its domestic supplies.

India last month approved wheat and broken rice exports to a few countries that had requested shipments of grains.

Indonesia’s National Food Agency (NFA) said that deals the country has made since end of last year are sufficient for now, while the National Food Authority in the Philippines can import rice upon approval by the president in an emergency situation.

India has ample stocks as of now to meet such requests, while Vietnam is due to start harvesting its main crop, analysts said.

“India’s government stocks of non-basmati rice are ample, standing at around 41 million tons on July 1,” FAO’s Ms. Mustafa said. “So, they could service the needs of both domestic public distribution and government level trades.”  — Reuters

Women workers to be hurt more than men by AI wave, McKinsey says

BLOOMBERG

WOMEN have more to worry about than men from a coming wave of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) that could replace almost a third of hours worked across the US economy.

That’s one of the takeaways from a new report by the research arm of consultants McKinsey & Co. that examines US labor-market trends through the end of 2030.

It calculated that women are 1.5 times more likely to need to move into a new occupation than men during that period. The reason: They’re over-represented in the industries with lower-wage jobs the report reckons will be most impacted by automation, including office support and customer service. Blacks and Hispanics will also be adversely affected as demand for food and production workers shrinks.

In all, the McKinsey Global Institute said that at least 12 million workers in the US will need to change occupations by the end of 2030. Some of that turnover will stem from the drive for net-zero emissions, which will disrupt millions of jobs.

What’s concerning, said Institute director Kweilin Ellingrud, is that the churn will be concentrated among low-wage workers. They’re up to 14 times more likely to need to change occupations than those in the highest-wage positions, and most will need additional skills to do so successfully.

White-collar workers — everything from lawyers and teachers to financial advisers and architects — will be among those most affected by the spread of generative artificial intelligence such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to the report. But McKinsey argued that will largely result in changes in how those jobs are carried out, rather than in the destruction of huge swathes of positions.

It “probably won’t be that kind of catastrophic thing,” institute partner Michael Chui said. But “it is going to change almost every job.”

Some 3.5 million positions could be wiped out as the US seeks to end emissions of greenhouse gases, with workers in oil and gas production and automotive manufacturing taking the hit, according to the report.

But McKinsey argued that will be more than offset — to the tune of about 700,000 jobs — by gains stemming from the build-up of renewable energy, primarily though capital investments in new plants, charging stations and the like.

The energy transition, coupled with stepped-up government spending on infrastructure, will increase demand for construction workers who are already in short supply. McKinsey sees construction employment growing 12% from 2022 through 2030.

If the reshuffling of jobs in coming years is handled correctly, it could result in a huge increase in US productivity and prosperity, according to the institute. In what Ellingrud admitted was a “pretty optimistic” scenario, the report posits an eventual rise in annual productivity growth to 3% to 4%. It’s about 1% now.

To get there, though, “the US will need workforce development on a far larger scale,” McKinsey said. — Bloomberg

Japan’s population declines while foreign residents rise to record

TOKYO — The number of Japanese people has decreased at the fastest pace ever while the number of foreign residents has risen to a record of nearly 3 million, government data showed on Wednesday.

The data showed that Japanese society is aging across the country and suggests that foreign nationals are playing an ever bigger role in making up for the shrinking population.

The number of Japanese nationals fell for a 14th year, by about 800,000 people, to 122.42 million, according to resident registration data as of Jan. 1, 2023, released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

For the first time, the number of Japanese residents fell in all 47 prefectures, the data showed.

The number of foreign nationals living in Japan was a record 2.99 million, a 10.7% increase from the previous year, the biggest year-on-year increase since the ministry began tracking the data a decade ago.

As of Jan. 1, 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, there were 2.87 million foreigners living in Japan.

Japan’s total population fell to 125.42 million, a decrease of about 511,000, the new data showed.

The population has fallen every year since peaking in 2008 due to a low birth rate, reaching a record low last year.

The government aims to address the problem by various means, including employing more women, the top government spokesperson said.

“To secure a stable workforce, the government will promote labor market reforms to maximize the employment of women, the elderly and others,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has made reversing the sliding birth rate a top priority and his government, despite high levels of debt, plans to earmark 3.5 trillion yen ($25 billion) a year for childcare and other measures to support parents.

A group of Tokyo-based public think tanks said last year that Japan needed about four times as many foreign workers by 2040 to achieve the government’s economic growth forecasts.

Tokyo had the most foreign residents with 581,112 of them, or 4.2% of the capital’s population. — Reuters

Ocean temperatures soar to hot-tub levels around South Florida this week

ANDRZEJ KRYSZPINIUK-UNSPLASH

KEY LARGO, Florida — The surface ocean temperature in and around the Florida Keys soared to typical hot tub levels this week, amid recent warnings from global weather monitors about the dangerous impact of warming waters on ecosystems and extreme weather events.

A water temperature buoy located inside the Everglades National Park in the waters of Manatee Bay hit a high of 101.19 degrees Fahrenheit (38.44 Celsius) late Monday afternoon, US government data showed, while other buoys nearby topped 100F (38°C) and the upper 90s (32°C).

Normal water temperatures for the area this time of year should be between 73°F and 88F (23°C and 31°C), according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which published the findings from the National Data Buoy Center.

The readings add to previous warnings over Florida’s warming waters in the southeastern United States as prolonged heat continued to bake other parts of the country.

The growing frequency and intensity of severe weather – both on land and in oceans – is symptomatic of global, human-driven climate change that is fueling extremes, experts in the field say, with current heatwaves expected to persist through August.

Earlier this month, the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said global sea temperatures have reached monthly record highs since May, also driven in part by an El Nino event. The WMO and NOAA say temperatures like those in South Florida can be deadly for marine life and threaten ocean ecosystems.

That can also impact human food supplies and livelihoods for those whose work is tied to the water.

As he worked his knife to filet fish hauled into Key Largo on Tuesday, fishing boat captain Dustin Hansel said the catch has been getting “slower and slower” for the past five summers. He’s also been seeing more dead fish in waters around Key Largo.

“As far as all of our bay waters, any near-shore waters, everything is super, super hot,” Mr. Hansel told Reuters. 

NOAA warned earlier this month that the warmer water around Florida could supercharge tropical storms and hurricanes, which build more energy over warmer waters. Rising temperatures are also severely stressing coral reefs, the agency said. — Reuters

Singapore’s recent political scandals a ‘setback’ for ruling party — deputy PM

STOCK PHOTO | Image by Jason Goh from Pixabay

SINGAPORE — A spate of political scandals in Singapore, including a corruption case and the resignations of senior lawmakers, has been a “setback” to the ruling party, Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Lawrence Wong told the BBC on Wednesday.

Mr. Wong, who is expected to be the city-state’s next prime minister, said in an interview the government would work “doubly hard” to earn back the trust of Singaporeans.

“If I do have a chance to take over [as prime minister], I know that it’s not just about me taking over because I also have to earn that trust from Singaporeans themselves. I have to win their confidence and mandate to lead the country,” he said.

Singapore has to call a general election by 2025.

In recent weeks, the otherwise politically stable country has seen a graft investigation involving transport minister S. Iswaran, and the resignation of two ruling party lawmakers, including the house speaker, who quit because of an inappropriate relationship.

Voters have raised questions about why it took three days for authorities to reveal that Mr. Iswaran was arrested, and why the lawmakers were allowed to continue in their posts when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong knew about their relationship since 2020.

Mr. Wong said the anti-graft bureau chose to reveal Iswaran’s arrest three days after they had taken place due to “operational considerations.”

With regard to the lawmakers, he said the People’s Action Party, which has ruled Singapore uninterrupted since 1959, was “cognizant of the impact that our actions have on innocent parties, including families, especially the spouses and their children”. — Reuters

Drought-hit Panama Canal restricts daily crossings in water-saving move

STAN SHEBS-WIKIMEDIA.ORG

PANAMA CITY — The Panama Canal will extend restrictions on ships’ maximum depth, it said on Tuesday, and it has limited average crossings at one of the world’s busiest trade passages to just 32 ships a day as a prolonged drought continues.

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) will maintain a depth limit of 44 feet, or 13.41 meters, for neo-Panamax container ships.

In June, the authority put off further restrictions that would have brought depth limits up half a foot, meaning ships would have needed to lighten their loads to float higher.

During Panama’s rainy season, an average of 35-36 ships typically cross the canal each day, the authority has said. Each crossing uses some 51 million gallons of water.

About 3.5% of the world’s maritime trade passes through the 80-kilometer inter-oceanic waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The depth limit will remain at the current level as long as weather conditions do not drastically change, the ACP said in a statement.

“As part of a worldwide phenomenon, in the last six months, the Canal has experienced an extended dry season with high levels of evaporation, with a high probability of an El Niño condition before the end of this calendar year,” the canal authority said. —

Panama typically sees heavy rains in July, and the canal authority called the current lack of precipitation “historically unprecedented.”

Since the beginning of the year, the canal has rolled out water-efficiency measures while bracing itself for the long-term effects of climate change, it said. — Reuters

Goalkeeper McDaniel a defensive wall of rock

REUTERS

WELLINGTON — With history within reach, count on ace goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel to save the day for the Filipinas.

When New Zealand (NZ) put the Philippines under heavy bombardment in desperate search for the equalizer in Tuesday’s unforgettable FIFA Women’s World Cup (WC) game, Ms. McDaniel provided the rock to the visitors’ defensive wall.

She tirelessly guarded the net amid the relentless Ferns’ assaults up until the final whistle, making stops after stops in a determined effort to protect the 1-0 cushion the underdogs built on Sarina Bolden’s first-half header.

Ms. McDaniel put the finishing touches to the country’s first WC win by palming away the potential tying strike by Grace Jale in the third minute of a five-minute stoppage time.

“They gave us their everything, they gave us their all and all we could do was just get the ball out of there. And we did that,” said Ms. McDaniel. “The last five minutes felt like 20 years. But it worked so we were happy.”

Not surprisingly, the 25-year-old Californian was named Player of the Game — a major accolade she immediately shared with the nation.

“It’s for the country, it’s for the entire team. Being debutants in this World Cup, it just can’t be for yourself but for everybody. Every single person helped fight for this so it’s not just a single person, it’s everybody,” she stressed.

Ms. Bolden was very appreciative of Ms. McDaniel’s strong presence between the sticks.

“Liv (Olivia) came up big with that save in the end so without that save, the goal wouldn’t even matter,” said the ace scorer.

Stepping up to the plate at the most important stage is nothing new for Ms. McDaniel.

In the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in January 2022, Ms. McDaniel made two huge saves and scored a goal as the Philippines beat quarterfinal opponent Chinese Taipei on penalties, 4-3 after a 1-1 draw. That massive result sent them to the World Cup.

Asked whether her heroics versus NZ had topped her exploits against Chinese Taipei, Ms. McDaniel said: “I think it might, it means a bit more.”

With her shot-stopping plays, Ms. McDaniel became the target of jeers from the pro-NZ crowd. But the presence of loud kababayans (countrymen) helped a great deal.

“We knew that would happen. We’re on their home soil, we knew their crowd’s gonna be huge but our kababayans had made it out tonight they were louder and that’s all I heard really. They helped keep me composed and they toughened us tonight.” — Olmin Leyba

PHL women football team all-business after upset win over New Zealand, says coach

PHILIPPINES COACH ALEN STAJCIC — FIFA INTERVIEW VIDEO SCREENGRAB

WELLINGTON — The Philippines gatecrashed New Zealand’s party on Tuesday with a stunning 1-0 upset of the Women’s World Cup co-hosts but coach Alen Stajcic said the celebrations will have to be cut short as they have to prepare for their final group game against Norway.

The World Cup debutants lost their opener against Switzerland and faced long odds against a New Zealand side ranked 20 rungs above them, playing in front of a packed house of loyal home fans in Wellington.

But Mr. Stajcic had promised to “crash the party” and his side succeeded thanks to a 24th-minute header from striker Sarina Bolden, killing the buzz from New Zealand’s own shock upset of former winners Norway just a few days ago.

New Zealand’s hopes of at least drawing the match following Jacqui Hand’s header in the 68th minute were dashed after the goal was ruled out for offside and their frantic stoppage-time efforts yielded no success.

“It was very emotional out on the pitch,” said Allen Stajcic, who told reporters that players and staff shed tears.

“To think that we’ve done it in our second match in our first World Cup… the unity and work rate and heart from the team was special. We had some luck but we also earned our luck.”

The players walked hand-in-hand to the stands where they bowed in front of cheering and flag-waving fans.

But with the showdown with 1995 winners Norway looming in Auckland on Sunday, Mr. Stajcic said the celebrations will be short and sweet.

“There is no celebration, to be honest. They’ll celebrate until midnight,” said Filipinas coach Mr. Stajcic.

“Tomorrow it’s back to work. Job’s not done. It’s very important that we switch back into competition mode and think about what we have to do in the last game to try to squeeze out of this group.” — Reuters

Gilas Pilipinas will have Clarkson for World Cup, Brownlee for Asian Games

JORDAN CLARKSON — PHILSTAR FILE PHOTO

IT’S OFFICIAL.

As Gilas Pilipinas goes with NBA standout Jordan Clarkson for the FIBA World Cup, the national team will have resident player Justin Brownlee instead in the Asian Games — ensuring a pair of equally capable top guns for the country’s bids in two major tournaments.

Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) President Al Panlilio and Gilas head coach Chot Reyes yesterday confirmed the harmonious set-up of Gilas, particularly for the sidelined Mr. Brownlee, a day after finally securing the commitment of Mr. Clarkson for the world games.

“That’s the plan,” Mr. Reyes told The STAR as Gilas braces for the World Cup on Aug. 25 to Sept. 10 here and the Asiad on Sept. 23 to Oct. 8 in Hangzhou, China.

The set-up will give Gilas premium chances to reach its goals of making a deep run as possible in the World Cup to become the top Asian finisher and gain an outright Olympic ticket as well as finally reclaiming lost glory in the continental meet.

With only two weeks separating the two events, Mr. Brownlee, though will be reduced to a spectator for the World Cup, is expected to still be in fine form for the Asian Games, where Gilas will also collide with fellow World Cup teams like China, Iran and Japan.

And Mr. Brownlee, fondly called as “Justin Noypi” by Filipino fans due to his innate local characteristics as a resident PBA import for seven years and counting assured that — starting by being one of the team’s loudest and proudest supporters in the World Cup.

“For the World Cup. I know I can’t participate in the games but I’ll be there in every game to root for the team,” said Mr. Brownlee, the resident Barangay Ginebra import before being the Gilas’ newest naturalized player this year, in the SBP pep rally on Tuesday a month before the World Cup.

The 35-year-old Mr. Brownlee, as revealed by Mr. Reyes, is actually dealing with a bone spur on his ankle but still stayed true to his national duty and commitment by joining the Gilas’ World Cup build-up since last month as a possible backup for Mr. Clarkson.

But Mr. Brownlee has proved his worth and dedication to the Philippines even before that, leading the country to a successful redemption of the gold medal in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia.

The three-time Best Import and six-time champion in the PBA also played in the last window of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers, scoring 41 points against Jordan for a tie for the highest points across all regional qualifiers.

The SBP could not be thankful enough for that. Mr. Brownlee, too, as they look forward to another chance of creating wonders anew in the Asian Games.

“Justin is here with us and for every step of the way,” said Mr. Reyes.

“I just want to say thank you to all the guys for the experiences and everything. I received a lot of love from everybody here. It’s just been an honor to represent the Philippines and go out there and give them my all,” Mr. Brownlee beamed. — John Bryan Ulanday

Blu Girls snatch the last playoff spot with shock wins against New Zealand and Italy in softball World Cup

WBSC-PHILSTAR

THE COUNTRY’S World Cup euphoria in football goes to softball as the Philippine Blu Girls pulled off a pair of shock victories over fancied New Zealand and Italy in WBSC’s Group C matches in Castions di Strada, Italy, Tuesday.

Almost given up for dead after dropping their first three assignments, the valiant soft belles from a tiny archipelagic nation clung to hope and prayed for a miracle that was answered as they slew the Kiwis, 5-3, and later the heavily favored host Italians, 6-5, that sealed them the fourth and last spot to the playoff round.

There, the Cebuana Lhuillier-backed Nationals were clashing the Italians, who wound up at No. 3 with a 3-2 card in the group, in a rematch at press time with the winner taking on the loser between the Japanese and the Canadians, who topped the bracket with identical 4-1 slates.

The top two teams after the playoffs will book a ticket to the World Cup finals next year also in Italy.

Interestingly, the glorious performance happened on the same day the Filipinas’ shocked the world with a historic 1-0 World Cup win over New Zealand in Wellington.

“No matter the odds against the stronger squads of Canada, Japan and Venezuela, the infallible spirit of the team was unbreakable. They came back, showed immense resilience and we could not be any prouder,” said Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines President Jean Henri Lhuillier.

While the win over New Zealand was impressive, the triumph over Italy was miraculous as the Philippines dug deep in erasing a 5-4 deficit and snatching the win that was sealed by two runs scored in the bottom of the seventh and final inning courtesy of Angelu Gabriel via fielder’s choice and Nicole Hammoude from a fielding error by the Italians.

With the game tied at 1-1 and postponed due to thunderstorms after four innings, the Blu Girls fell into a 4-1 hole following a two-run double by Barbara McKenzie’s one-run single by Andrea Filler atop the fifth inning.

Ms. Hammoude then batted in two runs with a mighty hit to center field and then Alaiza Talisik singled to center that sent the former safely home at the bottom of the same inning that tied the score, this time at 4-4.

Then Giulia Koutsoyanopoulos scored a run off a sacrificial fly ball by Erika Piancastelli as Italy regained the lead, 5-4, in the top of sixth.

Showing courage under fire, the Blu Girls proved more resilient as they rallied back by coming through with a seventh inning to remember in completing their rise from the grave. — Joel Villar

Kurashiki Ablaze eye outright finals slot vs PLDT

KURASHIKI ABLAZE — PVL.PH

Games Thursday
(PhilSports Arena)
4 p.m. — PLDT vs Kurashiki Ablaze
6:30 p.m. — Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh vs Cignal

PLDT aims to stay in the finals hunt while Kurashiki Ablaze of Japan seeks an outright championship berth as the two collide today (July 27) in the Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference at the PhilSports Arena.

It will be a do-or-die game for the High Speed Hitters, who own a 2-2 semis record, while the Japanese, unbeaten in three outings, would zoom straight to the one-game finale if they could win just a set their 4 p.m. duel with the former.

“We were happy to build momentum from our win over Vietnam,” said PLDT coach Rald Ricafort referring to the team’s 25-23, 25-14, 25-23 win over Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh Monday.

For PLDT to advance it has to win via straight sets over Kurashiki and hopes the latter ended up dropping another three-setter to Creamline the next day.

The Japanese club, in contrast, would need just to win one set to claim the second and last finals spot and arrange a knockout title duel with defending champion Creamline, who claimed the first spot after a 4-0 semis start.

That’s why Ricafort is just thinking of the positives that they would gain playing a tough Kurashiki side.

PLDT’s multi-titled libero Kath Arado, for her part, is bracing for a tough match against Kurashiki.

“When I played a Japanese team before, I think it was last year, what I remembered most about them was their discipline,” said Ms. Arado.

Truly, the Japanese were all business in winning their first three games against the Vietnamese, Cignal HD Spikers and the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers to move on the cusp of barging into the finals.

Meanwhile, Cignal (1-3) and Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh (0-3) clash at 6:30 p.m. with an eye of having a chance at clinching third place at most. — Joey Villar
