Rice..

 

There is plenty of rice available for Americans, said the U.S. rice industry in sharply criticizing India, the world’s largest exporter, for cutting off three-quarters of its overseas shipments. 

“This is another example of India playing games with global food security,” said Bobby Hanks, a Louisiana rice miller and a USA Rice Federation official.

India’s restrictions on exports, announced two weeks ago, were viewed “as a cynical ploy to strengthen their domestic market” while jeopardizing food supplies in countries that rely on Indian rice imports, said the USA Rice Federation, a trade group.  

Earlier, President Biden said that a food shortage is "gonna be real" following the sanctions that were placed on Russia by the U.S. government as a result of Russian invasion into Ukraine.

"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.
