[ANALYSIS] Brace yourselves for higher rice prices under Marcos
Quick Glance: Global rice shortage drives prices up. And the situation could worsen.
  • Wholesalers are still waiting for new stocks as India, the world's largest rice exporter by far, announced last month that it would ban some rice shipments.

  • Now, rice prices are rising sharply - for example, export prices for rice in Vietnam have reached a 15-year high - putting the most vulnerable people in some of the poorest countries at risk.

  • Already, the United Arab Emirates has suspended rice exports to maintain its own stocks.

  • Imported rice - 70 percent of which comes from India - has become unaffordable in Senegal, so he is eating locally grown rice that costs two-thirds as much.
