From China to the U.S. to the European Union, rice production is falling and driving up prices for more than 3.5 billion people across the globe, particularly in Asia-Pacific – which consumes 90% of the world’s rice.
The global rice market is set to log its largest shortfall in two decades in 2023, according to Fitch Solutions.
And a deficit of this magnitude for one of the world’s most cultivated grains will hurt major importers, analysts told CNBC.
“At the global level, the most evident impact of the global rice deficit has been, and still is, decade-high rice prices,” Fitch Solutions’ commodities analyst Charles Hart said.
Rice prices are expected to remain notched around current highs until 2024, stated a report by Fitch Solutions Country Risk & Industry Research dated April 4.

Exactly, which creates a far different blood sugar response than eating the item standalone, which is what the Glycemic Index was first based upon.
Yeah, unsolicited nutritional advice is among the least welcome.
And low carb freaks are worse than vegetarians about bringing it up!
this story is just made up
price of rough rice is 17.8 USD per hundredweight,
not that unusual
They can have my share, not a big fan, but I do like the smell of jasmine rice in the steamer.
‘unsolicited nutritional advice’:
I got along w/o it for 76 years and I might just get along w/o it for another 20.
Which is why one should eat either brown rice or haiga (rice with the germ) instead. I just ordered a 45# bag of haiga, which alongside my present holdings will keep me in sufficient rice until the next harvest, since I only eat it occasionally.
P.S. I still have my 50yo Panasonic rice cooker. I visited a Showa (postwar) era museum a few years back, and they had one on display; Japanese visitors are always shocked when they see mine in the kitchen.
Why? I would be shocked if it was anywhere else....................
Yes this is a great thing. It will help cool the planet.
SMDH! Guessing a lot of these fidiots have “zero” experience trying to work in extreme cold. Warmer is better.
“Global rice shortage is set to be the biggest in 20 years”
Only if it goes according to plan.
Huh. I’ve eaten rice nearly every day of my life with no problem.
It stores very well in buckets
Just switch from fried rice to flied lice.
I think it depends on the person.
I took a little folklore based test ... chew a sliver of potato until it starts to taste sweet. The time would tell how well you digest carbs ... i.e. earlier is better. Mine never changed flavor so I guess I’m not real good at carbs.
OK, I deserve that 🤣
Being Japanese helped me, I guess.
Hi.
If true Asians will riot.
Countries will go to war.
No matter, I know how it ends.
I read the Book(s).

Rice is produced in south Louisiana but I’m guessing the average American is unaware of that fact & doesn’t make note of it on the packaging.
Awhile back, I remember reading something about Vietnamese rice growers and shrimp fishermen getting preferential treatment over Louisiana’s.
Same wrt Cuba’s sugar cane vs Louisiana’s.
What else should one expect with so many countries banning synthetic fertilizers? It’s already causing starvation in many parts of Africa.
