India can barely feed their billions. Rice can store for many years. Just wait. They are going to need it soon.

India, like most Asian countries keep rice and respond to it as a national security concern. A few years ago, India started a rice crisis. They made it illegal for most Indian rice to leave the country. In October 2007, they blocked exports of all non-Basmati rice. Thus turning a rice surplus into a rice crisis. Idiots.

Thanks to the green revolution, India has been a food exporter for some time. A lot of poeple in the food business expect that to change sometime in the next 10-20 years as rising incomes lead to an improved diet with more animal protein, but the process will be slower in India than China because so many people in India don’t eat meat. Dairy, however, is already growing very rapidly. Poultry will be next.
