3 What is Basmati Basmati" derives from the Hindi word ब समत, bāsmatī, literally meaning "fragrant" [3] (Sanskrit ब समत, bāsamatī),a variety of long, slender-grained aromatic rice which is traditionally from the fertile lands of Punjab of both India and Pakistan. Basmati is the customary name for certain varieties of rice that are grown exclusively in specific areas of the Indo Gangetic Plains, which currently includes the Punjab (on both sides of the Indian and Pakistani border), Jammu, Haryana, Uttaranchal, and Western Uttar Pradesh in India. (According to UK Code of Practice 2017 Draft)

4 Basmati Varieties in Pakistan Super Basmati Rice (Duty Free when imported in EU as Brown Form) Basmati-385 Chenab Basmati (name added in draft but authentication is under process) Kissan Basmati (name added in draft but authentication is under process) Shaheen basmati Basmati 2000 Noor Basmati (name added in draft but authentication is under process) NIAB Basmati 2016 (name added in draft but authentication is under process) Basmati 515 ((name added in draft but authentication is under process) Kainat (Not added in Draft but it is locally considered as Basmati Rice)

5 Total Production of Rice in Pakistan 11% of Total Crop Area in Kharif Season 3.1% to value addition and 0.60% to GDP Punjab and Sindh (88% of Total Rice Production) Balochistan, KPK + Kashmir (12% of Total Rice Production) Total Expected Production in (6.9 Million Tons) 15% higher than Last Year 90% of Basmati is in North and 10% in South Region Kalar Area

6 Consumption and Exports 2.90 Million Tons (40-45% Domestic Consumption) Available for Exports around 4 Million Tons

10 Yearly Exports of Basmati Rice Exports of Basmati Rice from Year 2000 to Qty. (MT)

11 Yearly Average Price of Basmati Rice (FOB PMT) 1400 Exports of Basmati Rice from Year 2000 to AVG Unit Price ($)

12 Exports of Non Basmati Rice Exports of Non Basmati Rice from Year 2000 to QTY (MT)

13 Yearly Average Exportable Price (FOB PMT) Average Exportable Price FOB PMT from Year 2000 to AVG.Unit Price ($) 100 0

14 Agronomic Practices- Semi Organic Production (At Nursery Level) 40% of seed requirements fulfilled by R&D Departments (For both Basmati and Non-Basmati) 60% of saved seed of farmers without any fungicide. Salt is used to purify seed (450 g of salt in 18 liter of water) Least or Almost Zero Application of Pesticide at Nursery Level Puddling for Extended Period Control Weeds To Create Anaerobic Condition Improve Soil Texture and Structure Animal Dung is particularly used in nursery growing fields rather than fertilizers. Nutrients for Nursery Restricts Collection of Seeds

15 Cultural Practices to Avoid use of Insecticides Uprooting of rice stubbles as early as possible No permission to sow nursery before 20 May Collective cooperation of farmers for canals cleaning Spray is practiced on uprooted Cleaned Canal Stuff only to kill eggs.

16 Agronomic Practices- Bed Prepration and Nursery Transfer Collection of Animal Dung whole the year Application of Water (Mix Dung with Soil) Moist the soil to level where weed shall grow Dormant seed will grow and Plough kills them Allowing the water to remain stagnant in fields for at least days (Where there is no scarcity of water) and 07 days where some water scarcity is felt)

17 Agronomic Practices- Bed Prepration and Nursery Transfer (Conti ) Application of Nitrogen and Phosphorous based fertilizers (1 Bag of DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate +01 Bag of Urea + 01 Bag of SOP (Sulphate of Potash)- Recommended by Punjab Agriculture Department at various phases of growth. Lack of strong financial muscles of farmers hinders in application of fertilizers as per PT. Trend towards sowing of Dhancha (Green Manure Crop).

18 Application of Pesticides Weak financial muscles and costly pesticides Applied mostly after attack by farmers Progressive farmers apply but less than recommended dose Fungus based attacks are quite less (Bipolariss oryzae- Rice Blight) and (Pyricularia oryzae- Rice Blast) Insect attack is prevalent (Gross Hopper) which is considered as natural attack and less bothered.

19 GROUPS OF PESTICIDE DETECTED 60% Detection Chlorpyrifos (-ethyl) -----Cotton --Malpractice to use in warehouses to kill weevil and Khapra Triazophos Cotton-- Malpractice to use in warehouses to kill weevil and Khapra Imidacloprid --(Cotton and Maize)-- Aphids, Thrips and White Fly Tebuconazol (Rice) against Fungus attack on Rice (Blast) Difenoconazol (Rice ) against Sheath Blight and False Smut (Rice) Carbendazim/Benomyl

20 Detection in Super Basmati Brown Rice ( ) Total Number of Samples Tested : 338 Samples Found in Compliance : 332 Sample Failed to show compliance : 06 Pesticide detected : biphenoyl

21 GMO s in Pakistan Basmati Rice 30,000 Tons of Super Basmati (Brown and Milled) No detection even in Single Sample

22 Conclusion Agronomic Practices supporting semi organic products Pesticide issue which is not product related can be vanished immediately with effective communication and training. There is negligible GMO s detection in Basmati Rice
