India gives subsidies to Rice farmers = bad USA gives subsidies to Rice farmers = very good and a safety net for farmers. The nutshell of the entire report. WOW
If you actually watched the video, you'd know that the USA does not give rice growers a subsidy. In 2022, rice farmers received a bail out to prevent them from all going bankrupt. But don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative that the USA is bad. And it's not India's subsidies to rice farmers that's distorting rice prices, it's India hoarding rice and then dumping it on the world market to destroy competitors that's crushing rice farmers around the world, all in an effort to gain market share for their rice farmers and bankrupt competitors. The USA can withstand it, because we're rich and can bail out our rice farmers like we did in 2022. However, poor nations in Africa and South Asia are being crushed and becoming more food insecure due to the practice.
I love that when India subsidized their rice farmers it's inefficient subsidies because of electoral motives, but then when the US does the same it's "supplemental income and safety nets". And it's good because farmers are good for food security and the local economy
Thank you. That's what bugged me the second they mentioned these two statements. Also same applies to crop insurance and similar government schemes provided by govt of India, they are among the best in the world but considering India has been Agricultural heavy economy, in today's capitalism economy, supporting marginal and smaller farmers is getting very very hard

Statistics and data can be presented in many ways to present different viewpoints , and on top of that , the videos sets a narration. So yes this is not just a data but a narrated video. It's a big news channel media afterall and monetary/political influence are always into play.

There was almost no rain in most parts of India in August, a core monsoon month. That's why rice export was banned; not due to elections. Food security is at the core of the export ban; not some elections.
@@Thamizh23india banned that rice which is generally used by masses and poor people in India. So that govt. ensure that poor doesn’t suffer from scarcity. Basmati and Gujrati rice are costlier rice and mostly used by rich people so even if the price increase they can afford that and indirectly most of the rich Arabian countries also purchased only basmati rice so no loss to Indian economy. A very smart decision by government if you want to understand.

This is the exact same way us europeans feel. Airbus is one example there where the americans complain about airbus receiving subsidies while ignoring the amount of subsidies boeing receives.

It’s not due to elections that Indian government has banned rice export but it’s due to el-nino effect. This year India received 40% less rainfall and next year it’s predicted that India will receive up to 70 % less rainfall. Food security is what government is looking into. If we keep exporting like nothing will happen who’s gonna meet the common man’s requirement of food when there is a crisis ??, these so called experts did not make this point at all.. such a shame!!!
@@philipp3001ya elnino, a strange climate conditions, due to this unpredictable weather conditions are happening in my state we had now 59% rain deficit😢
International meteorology have adopted "El nino" spanish words for boy child. Originall discovery was where Pacific Ocean surface temperature west of Chile is associated with less rainfall and even severe drought. "La nina" , girl child, is associated with more rain and floods.
Dont spread false science. The rainfall on a particular area NEVER decrease. It change in frequency of quantity and the number of days it rains, but the amount of water stays constant. The condensed water vapor has to fall back on earth to go back into the sea or in the water bodies.
India had one of the worst monsoon on record this year as there was almost no rainfall in the month of august which put a lot of pressure on the government to ensure that there are stocks to prevent something hazardous. Also, singapore,phillipines and many other SEA countries have contacted the indian government for exceptions and the Indian government has granted them exceptions and rice will be exported to them. Simply put, India does not want to be a victim of rich western traders sitting in their manhattan offices speculating on indian rice which will put inflationary pressures on india
@@rutdvajrawal7933 but overall production of rice across whole of india will be same this year as last. what is subsidies given in punjab and haryana. May I know.
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.
It's better if American media stays away from topics they don't understand. Openly saying "my subsidy is good but if you did the same, it's bad" won't make you an intellectual and liberal as western journalists like to think of themselves.
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.
I hate the narrative of this video. It feels like they're villainizing india for its export ban. I'm from SEA and feel like it's my own country's responsibility to ensure food security and independence from importation. Also, why are they using American perspectives when they primarily need their rice for their kellogs. It's not even their staple.
And how do you think export ban is handled? Do you think exporters just decided that they don't export rice? Bans and tariffs are decided by politicians. Hence "political". Why do you muricans always think "political" means "demorats vs us" war in US? Word "political" has nothing to do with politicians wanting to keep country divided.
What I got from this video is that "a small investment from US Congress" can help subsidize Chipotle and Anheiser-Busch's ingredients, since almost all of US rice stays domestic, and they're the biggest purchasers named in this video. God forbid we ask those companies to just pay market rate for their ingredients
Riviana Foods owns most of the rice farms in the US and they are the ones lobbying congress for corporate welfare. $334 million dollars revenue last year. If they don't get a $250 million subsidy they will not be able to pay Ebro Foods enough profits to afford new Jets for all the Board members. Ebro Foods made a profit of $651 million last year. These are not mom and pop farms. They are big business.
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.
I like it when India does the same thing its 'electoral motivated' while when the US does the same its 'Systematic Public Subsidy'. I can't, with the Hippocracy .🤓
@@Tonad_Drump if you actually talk to most people though we’re not mad at India doing it though. Like if things are tough they gotta feed their people first. However, people are also focused on it because of the fact that there are millions that were relying on India for rice. Which as touched on is a staple food source. Rice is to Asia what the potato is to the west and specifically corn is to America. Which mind you the US exports soooo much food to the world mainly in the form of animal feeds though
How about this: American companies will start paying market rates for their ingredients - and in exchange their corporate tax rates get cut by like 80%?
Subsidies reduce food output, as farmers can produce the same but still get paid. It also increases prices as consumers pay at the checkout but also in their taxes.
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

As a Filipino, I feel envious to the Indians because despite the massive population of India, their govt is verymuch capable of providing enough food for the citizens. The Philippines, despite being considered as an agricultural country, is not capable of producing enough rice and instead imports rice from Thailand and Vietnam. Political leaders have come and gone but because the country’s government is being run like hell, the Filipinos are facing a very dark future…
It's not all about politics, it's also the Philippines' geographic location. Thailand and Vietnam don't experience super typhoons, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions every year. Even little Cambodia can export rice since they don't experience extreme natural disasters. Their harvest is almost always guaranteed. Agriculture is always at the mercy of mother nature.
It’s refreshing to see so many people in agreement in the comments with different perspectives of this complicated game - while also having compassion for India’s hellacious weather.
yeh, it is refreshing I agree. Nice change to see people who actually appear educated & aren't just falling for the propaganda spin & hypocritical attitudes towards both countries, as presented in this video. Very unexpected & refreshing indeed!
What's more: the Indian climate was already difficult, but the climate crisis has worsened the challenges there. And while the rest of the world is catching up, the West has caused it.
Because India is the #1 rice exporter in the world. Compared to India, China export minuscule amount of rice, and thereby no influence on the stability of the worldwide rice market. Naturally in this issue of shortage of rice, China has no role to play and thereby not discussed.
china top1 in production but no.6 exporter bro 😂 china’s rice is mainly for domestic consumption whereas india focuses too much on exporting its own rice 😂

India made an excellent decision to make rice more affordable for Indians. Other Asian and African countries might want to consider growing their own amaranth or quinoa for their people since it can replace rice but is more nutrient rich for consumption and is a drought tolerant crop.
@@motherhoodsbeauty9279 Hello. I am thinking that Asia and Africa can grow quinoa because it is healthier and easier to grow. However, yes some African countries grow rice. 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

Chattisgarh is not the rice bowl of India, rather West Bengal is the rice bowl of India. West Bengal is the biggest producer of rice in India and specifically East Bardhaman district of West Bengal is called Rice Bowl of India.
Even though west bengal produces more , the name rice bowl is shared by andra Pradesh and Chattisgarh, chattisgarh is called rice bowl of India from the time of its birth , it produces more then 24000 variety of rice which is why it got its name , it's variety of rice , 1000 of which are unique only to chattisgarh.

@@harshsharma9233 You can give any name you wish, but Chattishgarh nor AP is not considered as Rice Bowl of India, at least not in West Bengal or other parts of India. Also, Chattishgarh does not have the highest number of rice varieties in India. Until 1970 (before the Green Revolution), India had about 110,000 varieties of rice and now it has about 6,000 varieties left. Out of that 6000 varieties In West Bengal, about 5600 rice varieties were cultivated, of which 3500 varieties of rice were shipped to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) of the Philippines during the period from 1975 to 1983 for preservation. Today in West Bengal mostly 610 rice varieties are grown. Today IRRI has a total 16,746 rice accessions from India. In Chattishgarh 22,000 folk varieties are claimed to exist, but many folk varieties are synonymous. Recently 76 varieties of rice from Chhattisgarh have been included in the 550 worldwide variety of aromatic rice. This gives an idea of exciting varieties In Chattishgarh which is probably around 100. But more accurate estimation can be found in IRRI record.

Living in Vietnam where i can get a full rice sack delivered to me within 30 mins with no fuss and watching this video really gave me greater perspective.
The thing about all western commentary on India is that they basically they don't get India. So, here are few pointers and basic framework for anybody who tries to understand why India is doing what India is doing. 1. Being a country of 1.5 billion people, any agricultural or business policy of Indian govt of all mileu/political inclination will centre around the demands of it's population. There is no single policy till date which caters for global markets without considering or prioritising the domestic market. 2. Any Indian export is due to the fact that either India has surplus of that item or India has no industry that can consume that item. The moment India senses a deficit or develops capacity to consume it's domestic items, the export of that commodity is gone. 3. India till now is not in the business of competing with any foreign power, because it has not yet developed the uniform elite class like rest of the world. Being a continent size diverse country with sub-nationalities that can dwarf European nation states, there exist almost 25+ elite groupings with differing ambitions, power dynamics and socio-economic moorings, which makes it very difficult to create a cohesive all encompassing push to increase the national power. However, because each sub nationalities dwarf any of the European nation states, sometimes you get to see surprising results, which will left you wondering if India is so poor, how did they manage it? 4. Throughout all these years, the only promise that Indian political class has never broken with Indian citizenry, is making sure that Indian people survives. It has broken all promises of letting Indian people thrive. Perhaps it is to do with all Indic religions common theme of "Live and let live". The one thing that comes out of this is that India will never align with anyone, because aligning will severely jeopardise the promise of letting survive by asking them to sacrifice. That's the issue that none of the western analysis ever gets right. That's all for now. And by the way, if people didn't understand still, every single comment on the video on India is wrong and devoid of any connection with reality.

Rice is commonly grown in paddies for one simple purpose - weed suppression. Unaffected by flooding, the rice plant thrives while its competitors drown. The water serves as a natural form of herbicide. However, growing in water is not required, which is what makes rice such an interesting grain for home gardeners.

Indonesia has too many people, that's the problem. Take a look at the statistics, Indonesia is one of the largest rice producers, yet still can't meet the demand due to too many mouths to feed.
@DerdaIrvando04nah, too many people is the problem. Compare the land mass of both India and China to Indonesia. Most rice is produced in Java which is too small to support 156 million people.
In 2007 and 2008 there was a dramatic global rice prices rise just before the 2008 financial crisis. I wonder if this could be happening all over again.
@@Joseph-ke3xc We have massive debt bubbles all around the world, which are far far worse than those that lead to the 2008 financial crisis. We don't have the resources to pump the economy full of free money the way we did in 2008 without causing hyper inflation. 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.
2007-08 was the depth of the Australian 10 year 2000 to 2011 "Millenium Drought". We went from exporting 90% of our rice production to importing most of our rice to eat. This coincided with the food riots in Egypt.
Rice is a rich source of carbohydrates, the body's main fuel source. Carbohydrates can keep you energized and satisfied, and are important for fueling exercise. Brown rice, especially, is an excellent source of many nutrients, including fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins. 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. There is a question: How Good Policies help keep rice price right?
That's what y'all get United States government, Canada government, UK government, France government for putting childish unnecessary sanctions towards/upon the Original Long Grain Rice Growers in Mississippi, Haiti 🇭🇹 , The Continent Of AFRICA, etc. Lift those raggedy sanctions, especially do fair business ventures for the economical growth of our Haitian Citizens, financial benefits of profits they deserve forevermore!¡!

in my country there is a saying "when you are behind the eight ball and long in the tooth, bummer i hear ya, break a leg, make it a bakers dozen as a ballpark figure or i will take a rain check"
My understanding is rice doesn’t have to grow in water it can grow in the same soils but is one of the few that grows fully submerged so they do it for weed control!
Super easy to grow in massive quantities in a indoor farm too. Only problem is efficiency costs money and it is cheaper to just waste millions of gallons of water.
There are supplies, suppliers and newer methods of farming, they are designed to be reconciled, since FARMING is important and vital to growth, preservation of GDP and approach to Technology, limited, as an aid, that supports growth. Its projections are definitely designed for many years. Teaching, learning and enjoying goods are incorporated with one another.😊
I love how the US rice growers in Louisiana and Mississippi also farm crawfish on the same fields that they grow the rice. Those 2 things seem to be complimentary to each other and massively benefits those farmers. The harvests and "seeding" are at different times so they don't negatively effect the farmers ability to work both. And i believe there were some other benefits like crawfish poop acting as fertilizer and they eat some of the pests that are there reducing the impact on rice yields.
Philippines is still pretty unstable and suffer from many types of crises. I guess they like it like that since they do absolutely nothing to help themselves. They've even voted for the dictator's son. These people will never evolve.
Ehh, I still have my Jasmine and short grain rice. I usually mix them both 50/50 to that perfect blend of rice fluffy-ness that isnt too soft but also not too hard either
Rice from states such as Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana could be unsafe to eat in quantity as it's grown in fields that were often used for cotton production in the past whereby pesticides were used to protect the cotton crops from insect predators.
What country won’t restrict food exports when there are food shortages? If your country is not self-sufficient in food production, you should be very concerned. The idea of global trade in food was flawed to begin with, but failing to curb unmitigated climate change is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Bengal (i,e 'West Bengal') is the biggest producer of rice in India (thanks to extremely fertile alluvial soil in the flood plain of great Ganges river) and also has the lowest food price in the world. Reason: export is not encouraged by state govt for several decades (memory of "Bengal Famine" during British rule is still haunt our mind). Too much urge to export makes the food price high and thereby unaffordable for the masses of your own people while few rich gain.
Its not only india even in US if people dont get affordable food they will vote against u...also india has to feed 1/6 of world population....already we see food prices increasing in india
This video failed to explain how govt of India buys rice directly from farmers to feed 800 million people domestically free of cost through public distribution system. If prices are increased govt should also spend more money to buy
everything in the usa has increased in price, most twice but some 3 or 4 times more. last year at my local shop, a 25 lb bag of rice use to cost $9 but now its $13
As an Indian and my father being a rice farmer. I am against rice ban. No one voices opinion of farmers even though 60% of the population is dependent on Agriculture. All these years because of lower cost of rice many farmers lost money in rice production. Many would say why can’t they switch to another crop. They can’t switch for many reasons: 1. If Neighour farmland is producing rice you can’t produce other crop as excess water from rice would damage yours 2. Habituated to rice production can’t think something else 3. Many can’t buy rice so they cultivate for household purpose. Many farmers in india own 2/3/4 acres of land. Unlike developed countries. When farmers can’t benefit from these price hikes and can’t benefit other times due to lower prices. How should they survive? Therefore Farmers committing sucide is increasing.
Climate change has threatened crops in India in recent years, resulting in declining yields. As a result, it is imperative to take action to feed 1.4 billion people.
@@cleverusernamecl5532 if the rice runs out the people eating rice will be forced to eat your food regulated not to go up in price like rice is currently. What will you eat then?
Not only that but also the loss of exports will mean lower imports for India of other goods that they need, since the international exchange obtained in that trade will ofc not happen.
@@Cotswolds1913 well its a lot but it's would affect India that much. The main concern would be feeding 1.3 billion people during the climate change. Nowadays government is encouraging millets, also millets are popular in India,lentils also. Most Indian people eat vegetarian foods daily, even non-vegetarian eat meat once or twice a week,some thrice. So climate change is a huge problem and also food security. Banning and control the export of rice was a good decision. And also India has told that it will export to countries that are facing shortage of Rice.The Indian government has already allowed exports of non-basmati rice to Bhutan (79,000 tonnes), UAE (75,000 tonnes), Mauritius (14,000 tonnes) and Singapore (50,000 tonnes) through the National Cooperative Exports Ltd (NCEL) after the ban.
@@questions_answered With the overall price of rice that exports contribute to reaching, you get more investment in rice farming, more modernization etc, and it’ll end up being as cheap or cheaper as if you didn’t do the export ban. Ofc that’s in the medium to long-term. Meanwhile the income of farmers improves as well, but yes….when you artificially suppress the price, investment in producing that good is gonna tend to be lower. Not just because of raw differential in creates in the price and the profit margin, but bcuz of the uncertainty in gov policy, like what other things for political reasons are they gonna get up to that disrupts the rice industry.
The reason why China is not mentioned is that the situation between China and India is very different. India's rice is an important source of foreign exchange and an important employment guarantee for many of its farmers. China is the world manufacturing center, and the world's primary resources, including rice, are supplying this market, so that they can provide industrial products to the world. India has the same population, more arable land and farmers as China, and less than half of China's crop production, but has more exports, which actually reflects the difference between the two countries in industrialization.
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.
Mhhmm , and if you need another dive search for Japan and rice. After the region release the radioactive ☢️ water into the ocean many people brought rice
One of the biggest problems for development aid to east africa has been that foreign food is so cheap, that mechanized agriculture cannot run at operating cost if it has to sell it's products locally. Thats why even when the equipment has been given for free, the Indian rice and food aid has outcompeted local production, thus preventing the development of local mechanized agriculture. This might finally wake up the local governments to set sufficient import controls to allow for the development of the local economy.

That's not what they said at all.
If you actually watched the video, you'd know that the USA does not give rice growers a subsidy. In 2022, rice farmers received a bail out to prevent them from all going bankrupt. But don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative that the USA is bad.
And it's not India's subsidies to rice farmers that's distorting rice prices, it's India hoarding rice and then dumping it on the world market to destroy competitors that's crushing rice farmers around the world, all in an effort to gain market share for their rice farmers and bankrupt competitors. The USA can withstand it, because we're rich and can bail out our rice farmers like we did in 2022. However, poor nations in Africa and South Asia are being crushed and becoming more food insecure due to the practice.
I love that when India subsidized their rice farmers it's inefficient subsidies because of electoral motives, but then when the US does the same it's "supplemental income and safety nets". And it's good because farmers are good for food security and the local economy

India had one of the worst monsoon on record this year as there was almost no rainfall in the month of august which put a lot of pressure on the government to ensure that there are stocks to prevent something hazardous. Also, singapore,phillipines and many other SEA countries have contacted the indian government for exceptions and the Indian government has granted them exceptions and rice will be exported to them.

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.
Good comment. Do you live in India?

Well said.
Yeah, all subsidies are bad.
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.
I hate the narrative of this video. It feels like they're villainizing india for its export ban. I'm from SEA and feel like it's my own country's responsibility to ensure food security and independence from importation. Also, why are they using American perspectives when they primarily need their rice for their kellogs. It's not even their staple.
And how do you think export ban is handled? Do you think exporters just decided that they don't export rice?
Bans and tariffs are decided by politicians. Hence "political". Why do you muricans always think "political" means "demorats vs us" war in US? Word "political" has nothing to do with politicians wanting to keep country divided.
What I got from this video is that "a small investment from US Congress" can help subsidize Chipotle and Anheiser-Busch's ingredients, since almost all of US rice stays domestic, and they're the biggest purchasers named in this video.
God forbid we ask those companies to just pay market rate for their ingredients
Riviana Foods owns most of the rice farms in the US and they are the ones lobbying congress for corporate welfare. $334 million dollars revenue last year. If they don't get a $250 million subsidy they will not be able to pay Ebro Foods enough profits to afford new Jets for all the Board members. Ebro Foods made a profit of $651 million last year. These are not mom and pop farms. They are big business.
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.
I like it when India does the same thing its 'electoral motivated' while when the US does the same its 'Systematic Public Subsidy'. I can't, with the Hippocracy .🤓
@@Tonad_Drump if you actually talk to most people though we’re not mad at India doing it though. Like if things are tough they gotta feed their people first.

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

After living in Korea, I eat rice with almost every meal. I eat about 3 cooked cups a day. I love it! Every time I need to lose weight I just eat some chicken, rice and a vegetable for about a month and I can lose 30 pounds with 10,000 steps a day.
In Korea, we don't consume the rice that much anymore and we can't consume the rice we grew each year and we also have to import the rice from US. It is just trade issue.
In India (especially in our States Odisha, in some states as well) Government is giving free rice 5kg/person every single month to 30 million plus people. And also most of our farmers are focusing on growing rice.
That's wild, 1 kg rice takes around 2000 - 5000 laters a clean water.

In south india we are small scale rice growing farmers for generations, until last decade when we we gave up as it was a losing game year after year, now price is slightly higher but still not enough to break even, so our farms are lying empty and we have switched remaining land to grow commercial crops like coffee pepper etc

I live in India Madhya pradesh, In my town we have not good yield of rice and neighboring Chattisgarh the rice bowl of india also faced the same issue.
Chattisgarh is not the rice bowl of India, rather West Bengal is the rice bowl of India. West Bengal is the biggest producer of rice in India and specifically East Bardhaman district of West Bengal is called Rice Bowl of India.
Even though west bengal produces more , the name rice bowl is shared by andra Pradesh and Chattisgarh, chattisgarh is called rice bowl of India from the time of its birth , it produces more then 24000 variety of rice which is why it got its name , it's variety of rice , 1000 of which are unique only to chattisgarh. Which is why it's refers to bowl of rice of India , west bengal is not a bowl maybe more like a container 😂
@@harshsharma9233 You can give any name you wish, but Chattishgarh nor AP is not considered as Rice Bowl of India, at least not in West Bengal or other parts of India. Also, Chattishgarh does not have the highest number of rice varieties in India. Until 1970 (before the Green Revolution), India had about 110,000 varieties of rice and now it has about 6,000 varieties left. Out of that 6000 varieties In West Bengal, about 5600 rice varieties were cultivated, of which 3500 varieties of rice were shipped to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) of the Philippines during the period from 1975 to 1983 for preservation. Today in West Bengal mostly 610 rice varieties are grown. Today IRRI has a total 16,746 rice accessions from India.
In Chattishgarh 22,000 folk varieties are claimed to exist, but many folk varieties are synonymous. Recently 76 varieties of rice from Chhattisgarh have been included in the 550 worldwide variety of aromatic rice. This gives an idea of exciting varieties In Chattishgarh which is probably around 100. But more accurate estimation can be found in IRRI record.
@@honeysup it's not me who calls which state is rice bowl of India or not , even a simple Google search will show how wrong you are , only two states are called rice bowl of India , andra Pradesh and Chattisgarh. And according to Indian institute of rice research, chattisgarh produces the most variety of rice in India, also the culture of chattisgarh is heavy influenced by rice , entire local dishes from frara to chila to other tribal dishes are entirely made with rice , also the chattisgarh population is more depended on rice , those chattisgarh is most versatile rice producer , has a solid culture around rice , has a population consumption of rice far greater then wb . And can only be compared to andrapradesh on above 3 catagory. So it does not matter what I say or u say . It's been universally accepted fact and you can't change it .
@@harshsharma9233Sorry, random google search is not the automatic source of agriculture statistics of India. And this phrase "According to Indian Institute of rice research..." is itself wrong. No IIRR does not say that about number of variety in Chhattisgarh, because IIRR (& IRRI Philippines) itself provide those Agriculture Stat and I am quoting those statistics. If someone claim otherwise, he is wrong. It does not matter what you think, you are completley wrong as the numbers you said are itself wrong. Regarding name of Rice Bowl, you are free to think whatever you like, its your choice, nobody is stopping you but sorry others don't conform with you or think like you. Also Chhattisgarh does not have the highest number of rice variety, sorry for busting the myth. It may be better that you first learn the correct agricultural statistics of India and then argue with correct data.

here is the real story and India's perspective is. This is especially for foreigners to understand.
India did give free grains because of the Russia-Ukraine war. Some European countries stockpiled that grain to pump up the price. Later they resold it at a higher margin.
Later India stopped grain export and said if you want the grain we will give you it on a case-by-case basis. India still giving grains to countries who really need them.
This is a typical bullying and preaching tactic that West does. They acting like a spoiled child. West caring about Indian farmers? give me a break.
These are not farmers. these are landowners who exploit poor workers to grow crops for them.
I am a commodity trader for last 20 years, how and why Indias long grain rice is of lower quality?? We fetch premium for it over the normal rice.

I think we should also point a finger at overcomplexity of combines and farm equipment as well as loss of right to repair for farmers.
Well, you can always replace "overcomplicated" equipment with more illegals.
I wonder how many farmers actually maintained their own new contemporary equipment. Sure some farmers may maintain really old equipment but I think that is survivorship bias rather than the standard course of action. I'm betting farmers during the 1950s paid mechanics from the dealer to repair their brand new machines. I say all this to say I don't think the right to repair has any major impact on farmers.

The thing about all western commentary on India is that they basically they don't get India. So, here are few pointers and basic framework for anybody who tries to understand why India is doing what India is doing.
1. Being a country of 1.5 billion people, any agricultural or business policy of Indian govt of all mileu/political inclination will centre around the demands of it's population. There is no single policy till date which caters for global markets without considering or prioritising the domestic market.
2. Any Indian export is due to the fact that either India has surplus of that item or India has no industry that can consume that item. The moment India senses a deficit or develops capacity to consume it's domestic items, the export of that commodity is gone.
3. India till now is not in the business of competing with any foreign power, because it has not yet developed the uniform elite class like rest of the world. Being a continent size diverse country with sub-nationalities that can dwarf European nation states, there exist almost 25+ elite groupings with differing ambitions, power dynamics and socio-economic moorings, which makes it very difficult to create a cohesive all encompassing push to increase the national power. However, because each sub nationalities dwarf any of the European nation states, sometimes you get to see surprising results, which will left you wondering if India is so poor, how did they manage it?
4. Throughout all these years, the only promise that Indian political class has never broken with Indian citizenry, is making sure that Indian people survives. It has broken all promises of letting Indian people thrive. Perhaps it is to do with all Indic religions common theme of "Live and let live". The one thing that comes out of this is that India will never align with anyone, because aligning will severely jeopardise the promise of letting survive by asking them to sacrifice. That's the issue that none of the western analysis ever gets right.
That's all for now. And by the way, if people didn't understand still, every single comment on the video on India is wrong and devoid of any connection with reality.
I can tell you right now. The world may be running out of rice but the Philippines will never run out of rice. Rice is life!

Rice takes up too much fresh water to grow. Exporting rice is essentially exporting water, with India's water tables drying up and shortage of water everywhere, India should dial down its rice exports for atleast a decade or two until better water management practices and solutions are implemented

Of course, and when other countries do that with their main products Indian people will struggle to buy those things. We can protect ourselves but will have to deal with the pain when others do the same.
Hate to tell you, but the same Globalist A-holes control petroleum exports. Oil is 82% of India's imports. If it wasn't for India's import of Russian oil, they would be in much deeper trouble. These same Globalist A-holes could plug those shipping lanes and make it tough. In reality, India is still a third world country in most people's eyes, so its not even worth the effort.

As an Indian and my father being a rice farmer. I am against rice ban. No one voices opinion of farmers even though 60% of the population is dependent on Agriculture. All these years because of lower cost of rice many farmers lost money in rice production. Many would say why can’t they switch to another crop. They can’t switch for many reasons:
1. If Neighour farmland is producing rice you can’t produce other crop as excess water from rice would damage yours
2. Habituated to rice production can’t think something else
3. Many can’t buy rice so they cultivate for household purpose. Many farmers in india own 2/3/4 acres of land. Unlike developed countries.
When farmers can’t benefit from these price hikes and can’t benefit other times due to lower prices. How should they survive? Therefore Farmers committing sucide is increasing.
Climate change has threatened crops in India in recent years, resulting in declining yields. As a result, it is imperative to take action to feed 1.4 billion people.

The reason why China is not mentioned is that the situation between China and India is very different.

India has the same population, more arable land and farmers as China, and less than half of China's crop production, but has more exports, which actually reflects the difference between the two countries in industrialization.

You can take my coffee.
But don’t tell me rice is in jeopardy…
Wait…WHAT?!?! Rice crisis?😮I honestly had no idea this was a problem…wow!
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.
Mhhmm , and if you need another dive search for Japan and rice. After the region release the radioactive ☢️ water into the ocean many people brought rice
China has dumped more radiation into the sea that Japan has @@helpme100
1 kilogram rice takes about 3000 to 5000 liters clean water.

One of the biggest problems for development aid to east africa has been that foreign food is so cheap, that mechanized agriculture cannot run at operating cost if it has to sell it's products locally. Thats why even when the equipment has been given for free, the Indian rice and food aid has outcompeted local production, thus preventing the development of local mechanized agriculture. This might finally wake up the local governments to set sufficient import controls to allow for the development of the local economy.
well said
Import controls on a food staple will cause hunger in a poor country. So, it's not such an easy decision.
This administration is putting so many families into difficult situations, I pray for our country. low income people are suffering to survive! I appreciate Mrs Larris waters Imagine investing $1000 and receiving $6200 in a few days

He who controls the food supply, controls the people.
Cannot wrap my head around to see US complaining about subsidies.
Very informative, usually I eat japanese short grain rice. Had no idea rice farms were so big in US.
You might be surprised! I’ve seen a lot of “Japanese” rice, including Japanese writing all over, but grown in Texas or California!
So, US now become "asia"
@@gregoryf9299 Honestly you shouldnt be. Japan doesnt have that much agriable lands, so exporting in mass wouldnt make any sense.
"Calrose extra US #1 extra fancy..."
Seriously, people... It literally has California in the name.
@@sentryion3106 Japan actually grows enough rice to sustain it's own populace + a little extra
Us people just want india to produce less rice for us farmers revenue.
