There isn't a shortage of rice and other staples really, it is purely the financial markets pushing the prices up through their legalised gambling on futures, from everything i have read about it. This has led to wholesalers and others (governments) stockpiling until the price rises and they make a killing. It was probably all perpetrated by the Chinese so they can pay for the Olympics...  |
WL - your starting to sound like cynical me!!  |

i agree with w/lust's post.
it's much the same as how the big food stores control the market with their 'illegal' price fixing to crush the small retailers.
if there are shortages of rice & sugar, you can be sure there are forces controlling it & eventually profiting from it 
does that mean i'm a cynic too?

Yes rzr I believe it does.
There is a world wide rice and other foods shortage.
Drought in some countries, USA growing fuel products and other climatic problems such as the Burma cyclone don't help.
Countries releasing there stockpiles for sale now are keeping the price down, not up as was suggested.
Thai rice has gone from $26.00 per 25kg in March to $42.00. (Thats retail here in Aus)
And the next shipment will be considerably more.

If anyone makes money from this it will be the millers, exporters and the government( as they run those collection centers in the middle of nowhere ), not the farmers.
Although, if it goes too far then the farmers might get pissed off as the cost of production is going up and they are not afraid to take their problems to Bangkok. |
