Russia's decision not to ban grain exports after another poor harvest shows its leaders recognize that the embargo imposed after the failed 2010 crop was a mistake, reportedReuters. Farmers are making money as domestic wheat prices have closed in on international levels, and inflation also has been contained as exports from Russia's Black Sea ports have helped balance a tight global market. By keeping the trade channel open, Russia recognizes that, while it is a leading grains exporter, it is also a big buyer of meat and other processed produce. To boost food security, the government now wants to let the market work. Full Story

Energy drink ingredients, apart from caffeine, have little, if any benefit for consumers, according to some experts. Caffeine, a stimulant, increases alertness, awareness and, if taken at the right time, improves athletic performance, studies show. Energy drink users feel its kick faster because the beverages are typically swallowed quickly or are sold as concentrates. "These are caffeine delivery systems," stated Dr. Roland Griffiths, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University, reported The New York Times on the web. Full Story(NYT Subscription Required)

Amino acids and minerals found in asparagus extract may alleviate alcohol hangover and protect liver cells against toxins, suggests a study published in theJournal of Food Science. Chronic alcohol use causes oxidative stress on the liver as well as unpleasant physical effects associated with a hangover. Researchers at the Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in Korea analyzed the components of young asparagus shoots and leaves to compare their biochemical effects on human and rat liver cells. The amino acid and mineral contents were found to be much higher in the leaves than the shoots. Full Story (Registration Required)

As of Jan. 1, a new California state law allows people who make food at home to sell it to restaurants and grocery stores.

Even the worst U.S. drought since 1956 has done little to slow gains in farmland values. Nationwide, the values have risen 31% in the past five years to $2,650 an acre, according to USDA. With exports at a record high and rising global populations and wealth prompting more food demand, many investors view farmland as a path to steady long-term returns, stated an agricultural economist at Iowa State University, reported Bloomberg Businessweek.Full Story

Futures of frozen orange-juice concentrate plunged 7.5%, the lowest level in more than six weeks, as weather forecasts appeared to rule out the biggest seasonal threat to Florida's citrus crop: freezes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center has forecast above-average temperatures for Florida in the Jan. 7-13 period. Some meteorologists claim it is too early to tell whether Florida will escape a freeze this winter, despite a forecast for warmer weather in the state. Those conditions would preclude a frost that would damage oranges and limit supplies from the state, which produced 71% of the nation's orange crop last season, reported The Wall Street JournalFull Story (WSJ Subscription Required)
