India’s coal production rises 8.6% to 73 mn tonnes in April 2023

[ad_1]
New Delhi: India’s domestic coal production touched a record 73.02 million tonnes in April 2023, with a growth of 8.67 per cent against 67.20 million tonnes output, recorded during the corresponding period of last year.
Coal India Ltd (CIL) reported production of 57.57 million tonnes in April 2023 as against 53.47 million tonnes of the year-ago period, thus showing a rise of 7.67 per cent.
The government has paved the way for releasing additional coal in the market through greater utilisation of mining capacities of captive and private blocks, which has led to increase in dry fuel production by 17.52 per cent to 9.88 million tonnes in April 2023, as compared to 8.41 million tonnes recorded during the corresponding period of last year.

The total coal despatch has also registered a growth of 11.76 per cent from 71.99 million tonnes in April 2022 to 80.45 million tonnes in April 2023.

Saudi Arabia announces voluntary oil production cut

[ad_1]
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry has announced a voluntary oil cut of 500,000 barrels per day from May till the end of 2023.
The production cut is in coordination with some other countries of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC Participating Countries in the Declaration of Cooperation, said the Ministry in a statement on Sunday.
It noted that the voluntary cut is in addition to the reduction in production agreed upon at the 33rd OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting on October 5, 2022, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Ministry clarified that the decision is a precautionary measure aimed at supporting the stability of the global oil market.

Saudis, other oil giants announce surprise production cuts

[ad_1]

The production cuts alone could push U.S. gasoline prices up by roughly 26 cents per gallon, in addition to the usual increase that comes when refineries change the gasoline blend during the summer driving season, said Kevin Book, managing director of Clearview Energy Partners LLC. The Energy Department calculates the seasonal increase at an average of 32 cents per gallon, Book said.
So with an average U.S. price now at roughly $3.50 per gallon of regular, according to AAA, that could mean gasoline over $4 per gallon during the summer.
However, Book said there are a number of complex variables in oil and gas prices. The size of each country’s production cut depends on the baseline production number it is using, so the cut might not be 1.15 million. It also could take much of the year for the cuts to take effect. Demand could fall if the U.S. enters a recession caused by the banking crisis. But it also could increase during the summer as more people travel.
Even though the production cut is only about 1% of the roughly 100 million barrels of oil the world uses per day, the impact on prices could be big, Book said.
“It’s a big deal because of the way oil prices work,” he said. “You are in a market that is relatively balanced. You take a small amount away, depending on what demand does, you could have a very significant price response.”
Saudi Arabia announced the biggest cut among OPEC members at 500,000 barrels per day. The cuts are in addition to a reduction announced last October that infuriated the Biden administration.
The Saudi Energy Ministry described the move as a “precautionary measure” aimed at stabilizing the oil market. The cuts represent less than 5% of Saudi Arabia’s average production of 11.5 million barrels per day in 2022.
Iraq said it would reduce production by 211,000 barrels per day, the United Arab Emirates by 144,000, Kuwait by 128,000, Kazakhstan by 78,000, Algeria by 48,000 and Oman by 40,000. The announcements were carried by each country’s state media.

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak meanwhile said Moscow would extend a voluntary cut of 500,000 until the end of the year, according to remarks carried by the state news agency Tass. Russia had announced the unilateral reduction in February after Western countries imposed price caps.
All are members of the so-called OPEC+ group of oil exporting countries, which includes the original Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries as well as Russia and other major producers. There was no immediate statement from OPEC itself.
The cuts announced in October — of some 2 million barrels a day — had come on the eve of U.S. midterm elections in which soaring prices were a major issue. President Joe Biden vowed at the time that there would be “consequences” and Democratic lawmakers called for freezing cooperation with the Saudis.
Both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia denied any political motives in the dispute.
Since those cuts, oil prices have trended down. Brent crude, a global benchmark, was trading around $80 a barrel at the end of last week, down from around $95 in early October, when the earlier cuts were agreed.

Telangana: Singareni sets highest annual coal production record

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) produced 671 lakh tonnes of coal in the fiscal year 2022–2023 and set a record for the highest annual amount of production.
SCCL transported roughly 667 lakh tonnes of coal, which is 2% more than the previous year. In addition to this, it has provided coal to thermal power plants in eight other states and to over 2,000 different sectors nationwide, a press note informed.
SCCL Chairman and Managing Director N Sridhar stated that on March 31, Singareni transported 2.64 lakh tonnes of coal, the most in its history, breaking the previous record of 2.59 lakh tonnes set on March 11, 2016.

The business has set a target of 750 lakh tonnes of coal production for the fiscal years 2023–2024 after being encouraged by the coal production turnover achieved during the current fiscal, he added on Saturday.
According to Sridhar, Singareni has also broken a record by removing 418 million cubic metres of overburden during the current fiscal year, which is 7% more than the 392 million cubic metres attained in 2017–18.
Sridhar stated that five of the total 11 coal mining locations under Singareni had exceeded their goals by a large margin. He added that the underground mines also performed well during the current fiscal, with 8 mines achieving more than 100% production.
He said the performances of open-cast mines were also very encouraging, with 11 out of 18 open-cast mines, which are the main sources of coal production in Singareni, achieving 100% production.

We should achieve target of 330 MMT milk production by 2033-34, says Amit Shah

[ad_1]
Gandhinagar: Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said India should set a target to contribute 330 million metric tonnes (MMT), or 33 percent of global milk production by 2033-34, stressing the need to also produce milk by the masses.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is working for the 360-degree growth of the dairy sector, Shah said at the 49th Dairy Industry Conference organised by Indian Dairy Association here.
He said India’s milk processing capacity is 126 million litres per day, the highest in the world, and lauded the dairy sector for increasing production from 22 MMT, or around 6 crore litres per day in 1977, to 58 crore litres per day in 2022.
He said around 22 percent of the milk that we produce is processed.
“We should not content ourselves with becoming the world’s largest milk-producing country. If two lakh new primary milk producing committees are formed (at panchayat level), then in coming years, there is the possibility of India becoming the contributor of 33 percent of global milk production,” Shah said while calling for the need to explore this possibility.
“We have to move ahead to achieve the target of producing 330 MMT, or 33 percent of milk globally by 2033-34,” he said. According to the Indian Dairy Association, the country’s milk production is now 220 MMT.
“To achieve this (330 MMT target), the Central government and state governments, as well as cooperative movements should work together. We have to make production by masses a ground reality while maintaining mass production,” he said.
Shah said India should also work in the direction of becoming the largest exporter of milk processing equipment apart from being the world’s largest producer of milk.

He said the Modi government will make all efforts to also become the biggest exporter of milk in the world.
“In the last decade, the dairy sector has grown by 6.6 percent annual rate. I assure you that when the cooperation ministry will set up rural dairies across two lakh panchayats in the country along with NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) and the animal husbandry department of (Union Minister Parshottam) Rupala, then this growth rate will increase to 13.8 percent. Our dairy sector will witness a peak then,” he said.
Shah said the income of farmers rises in proportion to the milk processed and sold in the market.
The dairy sector has become a deciding factor in the export of milk products like milk powder, ghee and butter, he said.
“I can see a huge possibility in this. The day the multi-state cooperative society formed for export is connected with two lakh dairy unions, there is a possibility of our export growing five times,” Shah said.
He said the Modi government will make all efforts so that India emerges as the world’s biggest exporter. “We have already become the world’s biggest producer”.
He said India would never have become self-reliant in milk production had there been no White Revolution and Operation Flood, one of the world’s largest rural development programmes, that transformed the country’s dairy sector.
“Now there is a need for White Revolution-2, and we have moved ahead in this direction. Cooperation model in the dairy sector …works to make sure that maximum benefit reaches the farmers by removing the middleman,” he said, assuring to further strengthen the dairy cooperation model.
He said that dairy contributes to 4.5 percent of India’s GDP (gross domestic product). “Dairy is a strong part of our economy and also a source of job creation. As many as 9 crore rural families are associated with the dairy business,” he said. For marginal farmers, the dairy sector has proved to be a blessing, he said.
While India’s population rose four-fold, milk production rose more than 10 times, he said. Per person milk consumption was 107 grams in 1970, which rose to 427 grams per person in 2022, as against the global consumption of 322 grams, he said.
Shah also mentioned the success story of the Amul model, a highly successful three-tier dairy cooperative structure, and said it has played a major role in India’s contribution of 21 percent in global milk production.

Tur dal prices to go up as production constraints pull down supplies

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: The Tur daal (lentil or toor) market is extremely tight due to insufficient supply; imported daal will arrive soon but will have little impact on the market. Because of this, retail prices per kilogram are moving upward and are quoted in the range of Rs 130 to Rs 140.
Whether the farmers are getting a good price or not, it is difficult to say, but due to the short supply of tur daal in the mandis, be it in Latur, Solapur in Maharashtra, Karnataka, or Andhra Pradesh, prices are above the minimum support price, said Nitinbhai Vani, production manager at Rentiofood.
According to his experience, if a miller wants to buy 12 trucks of tur, he can only buy one truck, giving a clear idea of the demand-supply gap. On Friday evening, the closing price of tur in mandis was quoted at Rs 8100 per quintal.
He says that this time, one shouldn’t be shocked if the price reaches or exceeds Rs 9000 per quintal. The Union government has set the MSP at Rs 6600 per quintal.
The reason for the shortage is that farmers are gradually shifting away from the cultivation of pulses in favour of high-value cash crops. The second reason, according to Vani, is that standing crops were ruined by unseasonal rains that occurred in Maharashtra and Karnataka in October and November.
The central government is well aware that production of tur daal is expected to be around 38.9 lakh metric tons this time, down from 43.4 lakh metric tons last year. That is why the Union Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh announced in January that to meet the domestic shortfall, the government will be importing 10 lakh metric tons of lentils.
Even after this assurance, the prices are constantly moving upwards.
Tur daal production will remain 9.8% lower than last year, according to early projections from the Union Agriculture Ministry. The crop is badly damaged in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Madhya Pradesh.

Imports from Sudan and Burma will begin soon, but they will have little impact on the domestic supply and prices because the quantity is in the thousands rather than lakhs of tons, according to Vrushil Patel, Director of Lakshmi Protin Products Pvt. Ltd.
As of today, the wholesale market for tur is on fire, and so the customers will have to pay more for tur dal this season, somewhere between Rs 130 and Rs 140 per kilogram, he added.
According to Patel’s ground information, this time the production of tur is comparatively low in Saurashtra, which is adding fuel to prices in the Gujarat market.
Recently, the Central government extended its zero tariff facility to imports of lentils from Australia, which will be applicable until March 2024. But the benefit of this facility will be felt only in July, when the imports start.
The government estimates 38 lakh metric tons of tur production, but the market is skeptical, and it is concerned that production will be 35 lakh metric tons this time, which is why some major players have cornered the tur stock and will exploit the market when prices reach their new peak, according to sources.

Rs 176 Cr Project Approved To Boost Fish Production Across J&K

[ad_1]
JAMMU: Jammu & Kashmir has abundant water resources and great potential for fish and fisheries development. However, due to some challenges like outdated infrastructure, inbreeding depression, limited variety of aquaculture species, fragile aquatic ecosystems and lack of modern aquaculture technologies, the Fish farming was not progressing.
Now, to overcome these challenges and make Fish farming a prosperous sector, the UT government has approved a Rs. 176 crore project to boost fish production. The project involves importing genetically improved fish seed, upgrading existing hatcheries and fish rearing units, introducing species diversity in aquaculture through R&D, and commercializing trout and carp fish production using modern technologies such as RAS and Biofloc.
Additional Chief Secretary (ACS), Agriculture Production Department (APD), Atal Dulloo, who leads the Agriculture Production Department of J&K, said that the aim of the project is to promote sustainable development of fisheries for nutritional security, employment generation, and economic prosperity in the UT of J&K. The programme aims to increase fish production, productivity, and growth rate, as well as to strengthen social security and welfare measures for the fishing community, facilitate improved post-harvest practices and value addition, and create market linkages, he added.
“One of the prime requisites for successful aquaculture is the availability of good quality fish seed. The Technical Programme under the project includes importing genetically improved varieties of fish seed to ensure the overall success of fish farming practices. Quality fish seed determines the health, size, growth rate, disease resistance, and other physical and physiological characteristics of the fish, which in turn affect the overall fish production,” Dulloo said.
The ACS further remarked that in addition to importing genetically improved fish seed, the Technical Programme also aims to establish new hatchery units and upgrade existing ones on modern scientific lines. This will improve the quality and quantity of fish seed available for fish farming, and enable the production of a more diverse range of aquaculture species, he added.
Notably, under the programme, the UT government also plans to establish 10 new trout hatcheries and two carp hatcheries, and upgrade 8 carp and 10 trout units. ‘Technological Interventions for Fish Seed and Trout Production in UT of J&K’ is one among the 29 projects, which were approved by the Jammu and Kashmir administration after being recommended by the UT Level Apex Committee for holistic development of Agriculture and Allied Sectors in UT of J&K.
The prestigious committee is headed by Dr Mangala Rai, Former DG ICAR and has other luminaries in the field of Agriculture, Planning, Statistics & Administration like Ashok Dalwai, CEO NRAA; Dr. P. K Joshi, Secretary, NAAS; Dr. Prabhat Kumar, Horticulture Commissioner MOA & FW; Dr. H. S Gupta, Former Director, IARI; Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture Production Department, J&K, Atal Dulloo, apart from the Vice Chancellors of the twin Agriculture Universities of the UT.
The project also includes introducing species diversity in aquaculture through research and development (R&D). The UT government recognizes that a limited variety of aquaculture species is a challenge to the sector, and aims to address this through R&D. The programme will develop and introduce new species of fish for aquaculture, which will not only enhance the variety of fish available for farming, but also reduce the risks of inbreeding depression.

To commercialize the trout/carp fish production, modern technologies like RAS/Biofloc will be introduced at a large scale. These technologies will ensure that the fish are raised in a controlled and optimal environment, which will increase their growth rate and size. RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) technology involves the reuse of water by removing waste and re-oxygenating the water, making it a more sustainable and eco-friendly option for fish farming. Biofloc technology is a culture system that involves the conversion of waste into protein-rich feed for fish, which reduces the cost of feed ingredients and promotes sustainable fish farming.
The Technical Programme aims to revolutionize fish farming in the UT of J&K with ambitious targets for fisheries development. The program seeks to increase annual trout production by 2.5 times, from 1,663 to 4,000 tonnes, and add an additional 1,200 tonnes of carps every year. By doing so, the program intends to convert the current import of around 5,000 tonnes of fish from other regions into local commerce, generating 6,050 jobs and 150 enterprises. The program also aims to boost the growth rate of the fish sector from 3.28% to 40%, and increase revenue from INR 105.55 crores to INR 589 crores per year.
The successful implementation of the project will not only promote sustainable development of fisheries but also contribute to nutritional security, employment generation, and economic prosperity in the UT of J&K. It will also strengthen social security and welfare measures for the fishing community, by ensuring that the benefits of the programme reach the grassroots level. The Technical Programme has been designed to address the challenges faced by the sector, and provide a comprehensive solution to improve fish and fisheries development in the UT of J&K. By leveraging modern technologies, R&D, and market linkages, the programme aims to create a self-sustaining and vibrant aquaculture industry in the region.
The success of the project will not only benefit the fishing community and the aquaculture industry, but also contribute to the larger goal of sustainable development in the region. The programme will enhance the availability of nutritious and affordable fish for the local population, which will improve their food security and nutrition. It will also create job opportunities and boost the local economy, which will contribute to the overall development of the region. The UT government’s initiative to promote fish and fisheries development through technological interventions is a step in the right direction, and it is hoped that it will serve as a model for other regions to follow.
