India's rice export ban triggers panic buying at US supermarkets

[Anonymous No.19529134]

India's rice export ban has triggered panic buying at US supermarkets, causing the price of a 20-pound bag to surge from $16 to almost $50 in some stores.
The south Asian country, which accounts for 40 percent of world rice exports, ordered a halt to its largest rice export category, non-basmati rice on Thursday to calm domestic prices, sparking fears of global shortages.
Videos and reports shared on social media over the weekend show Indian-Americans standing in long lines or panic-buying rice in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey Alabama, Ohio, Illinois and California.
Some stores have hiked the price of a 20-pound bag to $46.99 and have started money-making schemes to capitalize on the panic, according to Business Line.
'A few desi grocery shops came up with innovative ideas to force customers to spend a minimum of $35-$50 on other items to purchase a single rice bag, which is outrageous,' a shopper told the outlet.

The Indian government said the ban would be effective from July 20, and only vessels currently loading would be allowed to export.
Parboiled rice, which represented 7.4 million tons of exports in 2022, is not included in the ban, the government specified.
Rice is a staple for more than 3 billion people, and nearly 90 percent of the water-intensive crop is produced in Asia, where the El Nino weather pattern usually brings lower rainfall.
However, heavy rain in northern parts of India over the last few weeks has damaged newly planted crops in states including Punjab and Haryana, and many farmers have had to replant.
Rice paddy fields in northern states have been submerged for over a week, destroying newly planted seedlings, and forcing farmers to wait for waters to recede so they can replant.

Basmati exported from India is good quality. But I've never seen anything other than basmati from India being sold in US stores. Maybe it's different in Indian grocers. The US isn't typically importing cheap white rice from anywhere, we already produce enough of that. Decent jasmine and basmati are commonly available from imports.

If you want the formula to be "how much you make - how much you need" then you have to implement export bans yourself. If the price of rice is higher on the global market than the local then of course you're going to divert supply until the price equalizes (minus shipping costs).

what do you mean american rice? you dont own it, and the multinational corporations are under no legal obligation to sell to you. the reason prices keep going up isnt 'lol inflation' but because other countries with actual shortages are paying higher prices, and so the producers turn around and say 'fuck, lets see if we can charge more here too lol' and they do it. Whatever they dont sell, they ship over seas. People have no idea how this bullshit system works and they take it for granted that things made in their own country are 'theirs'. they arent yours, and they never have been. they only sell it to you when its worth their wild to do so.

Ever wonder how the chinese had a famine that killed 60 million people even though they were a net aggricultural exporter?

>muh birds

thats just the bullshit propaganda story they tell stupid retards. The real reason was that the CCP was constantly selling their surplus abroad and then lying to their own people about it. And when they did their little oopsie woopsie with killing the birds and half their crops failed, nobody wanted to take responsibility for the loss of product so they lied about it. They lied on official documents, they lied to their leaders, nobody knew how much rice they had but they were in the habbit of skimming off the top so they continued to do so until one day they went

>oh fuck, WE ARE OUT OF RICE? HOOOOOOOOOOW

the rest is history. The ccp then redirected all food supplies to their own centers of power (the major cities) and then let the peasents starve to death while pretending it wasnt happening. At the end of the day, we got some cute little uwu story about good intentions going wrong and no one was the wiser. After all, the people who died from starvation can't complain and those that survived knew they survived because the ccp graciously gave them food.

this can happen anywhere there is corruption and no accountability regardless of supply.

>man these guys are so stupid lmao, i guess it cant be helped, man they are so dumb wish they were smarter then this wouldnt have happened hahaha

its how they avoid responsiblity. everything is an accident, everything is an oopsie woopsie. They act like children or like they are senile and out of touch so you subconsciously treat your leaders like they arent responsibile for their own actions. You wouldn't get really mad at a child for spilling his drink right? you wouldnt get irrate if a senile old man did it either. It's only when a 25 year old stands up in the middle of the room and shits himself that you seriously judge that person as being inable to do what they are suppose to do and actually take action to remove him before something goes seriously wrong.

I got some thoughts on it.

First off it’s an incorrect assumption that big business wants less regulation, more regulation usually works out in big businesses favor by restricting small business so they end up more secure with more of the market. Second if there just one thing in this world that leftists got right it’s that republicans are nazis and they are more than happy to get involved in business to make sure they are promoting their vision for society. Welfare polls well among republican voters and many of them are on the dole, contrast that with their desire for border security and the term national socialist is a great descriptor for the republican voter. The leftist ironically cannot see that they are just a super fascist, but whatever, reality is neither of you are going to solve the tragedy of the commons because it is just that, a tragedy that results from there being commons.

India's rice export ban may cause worldwide inflation, IMF chief warns

IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas warned on Tuesday grain prices could rise 10 to 15 percent this year
India, which accounts for 40 percent of the world's rice exports, ordered a halt to its largest rice export category , non-basmati rice, last week. The country has been facing heavy rainfall, causing its paddy fields to drown.
India's rice export ban may help exacerbate price inflation worldwide, the International Monetary Fund chief warned on Tuesday.
The south Asian country, which accounts for 40 percent of world rice exports, ordered a halt to its largest rice export category, non-basmati rice, last week to calm domestic prices.
The recent inflation has sparked panic buying in stores throughout the US as 20 pound bags are said to be retailing for as much as $50.
Videos and reports shared on social media over the weekend show Indian-Americans standing in long lines or panic-buying rice in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey Alabama, Ohio, Illinois and California.
The new restriction, IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas said, will have a similar effect as the suspension of the Ukraine Black Sea grain export deal, which drove up prices in other countries.
Global grain prices could rise 10 to 15 percent this year, he warned at a news conference on Tuesday.
'A few desi grocery shops came up with innovative ideas to force customers to spend a minimum of $35-$50 on other items to purchase a single rice bag, which is outrageous,' a shopper told Business Line last week.
Another store in Mason, Ohio is rationing the grain to one 20-pound bag per head, costing $24, PBS reported
On average, rice prices in the US have shot up by around 11 percent, according to PBS Frontline.

Nope. We produce our own nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers and can import potash from Canada. We were buying from Russia because it was cheap. US also produces rice and most other staple crops.

India didn't commonly export their Staple crops. Only spices. Part of this is that India literally needs everything they grow just to survive.

When Capitalism takes hold and the world realizes how cheap food is in India (100kg of rice for like $5) India is going to have a huge stability problem.

The greed of farmers will lead to increased exports to boost GDP but cause probably tens to hundreds of millions of Indians to die.
