Interesting to see how this is covered overseas.
Some folks are still pushing the foreigners are eating all the rice line 🙄 (I don’t think 40 million tourist each in country for 2 weeks is much compared to 120 million Japanese in country all year 🤔)
They mention the demand is around 7.05m tonnes but production was 6.6m tonnes. Someone Econ this for me — how does a <10% shortfall lead to a >100% price increase 🧐
