Rice crisis 
The
price of rice has doubled within a year. This is because product demand has increased, but the stocks are not sufficient to meet world demand. It appears that rice imports from China to the States have decreased by 30% last year. Rice is known is the staple food of the Asian people and here in Seattle and in North-west, where the Asian community is very large, the
rice crisis is especially felt. Find the rice in the supermarket has become a business. I, too, in my small, I can not find the package by a pound of arborio rice from Trader Joe's. (Cabbage asparagus season is here and I can not let the rice !!!). A Chinese family but usually buy bags of 25 kg, but recently have become unavailable. And if there are people are pushing to make stock, so retailers are not in short order. Some companies have been forced to require customers all'aquisto a limited number of packages. The governments of China and Thailand pledge to increase imports to meet the crisis, but it seems that the situation will improve in the short term. That this crisis will change the eating habits of the Chinese? Perhaps they will start to eat bread and pasta.
