Organic Rice Producers in United States of America |
Posted: November 27, 2018 |
Description This article discusses the growing demand for organic rice in the United States of America. It discusses the various different problems encountered by farmers to ensure the gradual pace of demand and supply and it analyses how the department of agriculture in conjunction with the experts of the field was able to help the industry in a positive way. The increase in demand Organic rice is gradually growing in demand in countries like the United States, forcing farmers to rethink strategies of dependent growth to cater to the ever-increasing streams of supply. Whereas this sudden increase in the demand for organic rice has provided an alternate source of income for the farmers, organic rice producers have been faced with the dilemma of sustaining growth without the usage of artificial growth catalysts to ensure the product they are growing is completely natural and devoid of agents such as yield enhancers and pesticides. Not only dies this initiative significantly decrease the optimal yield due to the product being vulnerable to insects, decay, disease and weed, it also significantly raises the price per grain which in turn reflects when the consumer goes out to buy the product especially in the case of organic long grain unbroken. The government steps in For the reasons that have been discussed previously and assist the organic rice producers so they can contribute to the economy in a more positive way, United States Department of Agriculture has pledged 1 million dollars in investment and attained the services of professionals of the field with significant experience in battling pests in agricultural products to make them more profitable for both the farmers and the consumers in a bid to make the quality and quantity of organic long grain unbroken more attainable. This investment will also set up a centre of research and excellence where methods and strategies to improve quality assurance among other things can be assessed to The fact-finding To formally begin the process of fact-finding as to what were the root causes of irregular crop yields as far as organic rice is concerned, the team of professionals under the expertise of United States Department of agriculture, conducted seminars and workshops with farmers, producers, harvesters and industrialists. Millers and even end consumers were also a part of these recreational activities for scientists to find out what the problem of the market are and how they can be addressed. The team of included crop nutrient managers, breeders and plant pathologists from Texas, Arkansas and Washington DC who used their expertise and communication skills to get the message across to all parties across and the data they collected correlated to the already growing and volatile organic rice yielding situation. All the data collected will be a part of more rigorous testing of newer strategies to ensure the country can self-sustain its demand and supply of crops such as the organic long grain unbroken and facilitate its organic rice producers. Positive outcomes Some outcomes of the rigorous feasibility and testing of strategies have already been put into action by farmers. One of these is the usage of natural nitrogen mineral-based fertilizers in fewer amounts which will allow the rice crop to grow and compete with other crops. This would help in stabilizing the organic rice yields to meet the standards of the American market.
