domestic rice shortage due to drought..

this is out of the asiapress / rimjingang website reporting that domestic rice has doubled in price due to inventories running out.

the good news though is that chinese rice is still available in the markets at a more normal price but i wonder how long that is going to last since china has been having its own food growing issues with the flooding last spring.
