  • Global supplies of rice are facing its most significant shortage in two decades, exacerbating food insecurity fears. Rice is a staple food for over half the world’s population. India’s export bans sent shockwaves through markets as some argue the country is using food as a political pawn. America’s $34 billion rice industry must compete against the same market uncertainty while managing droughts, floods and changing temperatures. Watch this video to learn more about how global rice markets influence food security, geopolitics and the livelihoods of millions of farmers.

      The US agriculture industry is already heavily subsidized. That is why many countries can't compete with US farmers in certain crops, for example corn. The reason is because food is considered by American policymakers as national security, it makes the US less vulnerable to food shocks in the event of a war or geopolitical rivalry.

    This episode do not reveal full information. India's rice ban is temporary. It has 3 years of rice stocks in its FCI warehouses. The stock is feed the people if there are two years of consecutive monsoon failures. In addition the farmers are converting rice fields in to more profitable crops such as fish and shrimp farming. India put ban on export of non-Basmathi verities, that are produced in South India such as Sona Masoori, Ponni, BPT etc., that are produced in the deltas of Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri river systems. The reasons to impose ban are compelling as the stocks of these varieties are going down and per capita yield is also going down due to water shortage/crop migration etc. The rice that go to Africa which is unpolished, broken, and subsidized has no ban.

    Indian Ban on rice exports has nothing to do with politics or elections. The reason is entirely domestic food security. The failure of monsoon rains in 2023 and erratic weather is bringing down rice security stockpiles. Further, already skyrocketing rice prices in India is mainly responsible for the export ban. Concern for people's food safety and not politics is the reason behind rice export ban has to be noted.

      Meanwhile I'm in Singapore, which imports ~90% of its food (as we don't have much land & find it more profitable to use them for secondary & tertiary industries instead, & anyway even if we grow our own food it'll still be more expensive than neighbouring countries (which are in earlier stages of development)), & food export bans seem to be more frowned upon here, as they seem to be portrayed as a futile attempt to fight against economic principles. When Malaysia banned chicken exports to us (in 2021 I remember) the local press was warning Malaysia that it might permanently lose Singapore as a customer even after lifting its ban, as Singapore by then would've probably already started importing from other countries instead (albeit further away & thus more expensive). Probably because an export ban raises the risk of food shortage & thus food inflation in my country. However if the exporting country is facing a genuine food shortage then I am also thinking what other measures it could take to remedy the situation

Then, western countries send free rice and put rice farmers out of business. It depends on the country because it is very diverse since it's the second largest continent in the world. Some areas are tropical desert, jungle, islands etc which will determine if they can grow rice.

      Africa has its own indigenous species of rice different from Asian rice. Europeans found vast fields of various species of rice being grown all over Africa, and took African rice and growers to their colonies in the Americas. A variety of African rice that came to be known as Carolina Gold was the major rice grown in the US until it was replaced by the Asian species of rice.
      There are varieties of African rice that are grown on dry lands without paddies, or on hillsides

Stop blaming the government and try to understand economics. People are already suffering a bit due to the rise in vegetable prices.

The US national debt is three times higher than in 2008, personal debt is higher, college debt is higher, car debt is higher. About 50 countries around the world are on the brink of economic collapse. Oil is higher, food is much more expensive. Yes there are recessions every so often but there are also far worse things than that and I think we are primed of another financial crisis. It may not happen today, or this month, maybe not this year, but its coming all the signs are there.

    It is important to understand that the rice subsies in india arent just a matter of feeding the population of india or though they do that. They are also effectively a welfare transfer payment into rural communities. India is a country still of small scale farmers in the way the west just isnt. More than 40% of the population work in agriculture. Thats down significantly from a decade ago but the equivalent figure for the us is 1.6%.

      Just watched the video. What are people complaining about. Why shouldn't Indian government priorities the needs of the Indian populace. For the uninformed, there were some major floods accompanied by droughts that severely affected the rice output in 2022. Coupled with the increase in wheat prices and the increase in Oil prices during the Russia - Ukraine war. India foresaw a drastic increase in demand for rice for it's export but at the same time had to factor in the fact that Indians would themselves not be able to afford the increased prices. Additionally, a lot of Indian rice is imported my rich countries who have connections with a lot a powerful middlemem. Thus, India put a temporary ban to better manage and streamline any and all exports on rice. Don't worry about the farmers, they were still getting paid less before all this as well. There is a good chance that the farmers are making more now that the govt stepped in.

    Spooked by volatile foodgrain prices ahead of a general election next year, India's government has banned or taxed exports of most kinds of rice and wheat. While India is a large producer of wheat, it really dominates the rice market: its exports represent about 40% of the global rice trade.

      My local Taco Bell had a sign up saying that due to supply chain constraints no offering that included rice was available. That is what got me to click this story.

    He says “its political, because India is trying to ensure ample rice domestically and fight inflation”. If this is political, then what is humanitarian? Btw while US is misusing rice to make beer. Not food- beer.

    Farming in general seems like a back breaking occupation. So many things can go wrong. And if your crops fail in one year what do you do for the next one? Assume debt that you will have to pay back for the rest of your life?

      This is what happens to most of the small farmers. The debt repayment problem if crop goes bad.
