Good availability in Mumbai, where my wife called her relatives last night to check. No problems at all. Also, a record wheat harvest.
Yes, the ones suffering are the net food importers- Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Arab “world” mainly, and not China or India.
India and China are massive wheat AND rice growers, so the only problems that happen are when these two cut down exports, causing importing nations to take the hit.
Good point but Mumbai is not the best place in India to check on rice availability/consumption (most people in that region consume wheat and millet). I would look at cities in the south or the east to find out what’s happening to the rice prices at retail stores.
