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.

I heard on DoctorRadio that drinking diluted vinegar reduces the carbs that u eat.
I do not believe it and can’t believe DoctorRadio would allow such a statement.
There goes them weddings
Short grain brown rice is my favorite rice I eat if I have a choice. Has a great nutty flavor. Brown Basmati rice is also very good.
Brown rice at Costco is much less expensive. Short grain brown rice is the way to go. Organic brown rice is less than less than $2/pound. Probable close to $1.50/lb.
I particularly love Caroline Gold. So yummy
I always buy Calif brown rice because of the elevated arsenic levels in TX and LA and AR rice.
But at these prices I don’t buy rice at all.
I do not think that is too be believed. Billions of people have subsisted primarily on rice for several thousand years.
One must be quite careful of the information consumed and digested from the internet. A lot of it is etremely toxic.
I guess it’s good when you don’t have much else.
Mahatma Enriched Extra Long Grain White Rice 20 lb Bag, stored for hard times.
$11 as a Walmart subscriber.
A 20-pound bag of rice is a lot of backup for 11 dollars.
It isn’t end of times stuff, but if someone has to look in their cupboards to figure out how to make those few cans of random foods and that half bottle of ketchup, and a few bullion cubes last a week or two, and then someone lays that 20-pound bag of rice on the counter, well, it really improves the situation.
I heard on the internet if you believe in global warming you are a natzi.

No. You are incorrect. It’s those that believe in global COOLING that are the “natzis”!
Please stay up-to-date with the current narrative. Also, if you are one of those climate CHANGE cultists who are committed to neither global cooling OR warming, but instead believe that any weather event is evidence of human’s harm to the climate of the planet, then you should move to a cave or mud hut. There you can disavow any fossil fuel provided convenience and signal your virtue so that others may learn how to cancel their carbon footprint.
In keeping with the cultist’s life-style and wishes, we will allow your starving body to waste away without assistance from modern technology and depend upon nature to do away with your remains.
I assume your relatives will write the appropriate obituary touting your commitment to saving the planet by listing all the “green energy” groups you had subscribed to but had to abandon once you disavowed advanced communication technology. The smoke signals you sent will be studied for days to try to determine the message being attempted before experts realize you were just trying to start a fire to keep warm.
Rest in peace, climate cultist! Rest in peace.
Maybe I’ll get a teevee so I can tune in and turn on to the correct way of thinking.
Or maybe just burn a couple of tires in celebration of earth day.
Desicions.
I know here in Wisconsin, a lot of farmers have been reducing the number of fields they plant, or switching to pasture instead of row crops, because of the cost of the fuel needed to harvest. I can only assume farmers in rice-growing regions are doing the same.
I know I’ve been posting this a lot, but I’m posting it again: https://www.driveonwood.com/ for ways to run a vehicle, tractor, or generator using home-grown fuel.
I never understood that test, because for me the flavor never changed. People told me I was lying for some reason. Thank you for being the first other person I’ve heard about who is missing the same enzyme.
