People grow rice all over the world not just China. Theres a rice shortage in China too

http://climatepatrol.wordpress.com/2008/02/24/worldwide-shortage-of-rice-prices-soaring/


There is a rice shortage in Bangladesh and China too, among other countries, while there is a wheat shortage in Afghanistan. In local markets in Pakistan, the price of rice has gone up over the past month by more than 60 per cent year on year. India recently contributed to soaring world prices when it imposed a ban on rice exports — relaxed only partially to allow some supplies to Madagascar, Mauritius, the Comoros Islands and cyclone-hit Bangladesh. China has banned rice exports to ensure enough is available for domestic demand.

Maybe you should read your OWN link instead of making up racist shit


Patel lists five primary reasons for high food prices across the board:

-- Food production is heavily dependent on fossil fuel and oil prices are soaring.

-- As nations get richer they demand more meat, shifting grain "out of the bowls of the poorest people into the stomachs of livestock."

-- Biofuel production is boosting prices.

-- Poor harvests may be the front end of climate change.

-- Speculation on food prices fuels spikes.
