Themed “Rice Bran Oil---The World’s PremiumHealthy Oil”, the seminar will discuss strategies to promote the developmentand utilisation of rice bran oil and improve its branding and trade in theinternational market.
This is the fifth year IARBO (InternationalAssociation of Rice Bran Oil) has organised the conference to promote theproduction of rice bran oil in its five member countries of China, India,Japan, Thailand and Vietnam. The event will be attended by representatives ofthe world’s leading rice bran oil producers, such as Thailand’s Medifood,Japan’s Tsuno and Oryza groups, and more.
Rice bran oil is one of the best oils forhealth, widely used in many countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Japan, theRepublic of Korea, the US, India as well as the EU. The oil is extracted fromthe bran layer within six hours of being separated from rice grains to preservevaluable antioxidants such as Gamma-Oryzanol, Phytosterol and Vitamin E.
The member countries of IARBO have greatpotential to produce the oil, generating additional value for rice. Currently,90 percent of global rice output is produced by Asia. India is currently theworld’s largest rice producer, accounting for 75 percent of the global output,followed by China and Japan.
In Vietnam, Wilmar Agro Vietnam Ltd hasinvested in two rice oil extraction plants in the Mekong Delta, with a totalextraction capacity of up to 1,200 tonnes of crude rice per day. This is thelargest plant in the country in terms of extraction, providing large quantitiesof crude oil for domestic and foreign markets.
Cái Lân Oils and Fats Industries Company,which owns refined rice oil brand Simply, said its refinery required modernmachinery and advanced technology to keep intact the nutrition of Gamma-Oryzanoland balance fatty acid groups in rice oil. The company’s products are mainlyexported to China, Japan, Europe and the Middle East as well as partly sold inthe domestic market.
Established in 2013, IARBO is a non-profit,non-governmental organisation. Its mission is to connect manufacturers,research institutes, universities and consumers to promote the production andconsumption of rice in the world.
At this year’s conference, IARBO held thefirst rice research competition, with a total prize of 21,000 USD for students.In addition to the in-depth reports, the conference also featured hundreds ofbooths displaying value-added rice and rice bran products.-VNA
