price of rice to go up this year

[NorthernRaider]

After the last 18 months weather events globally just think yerself lucky there is anything to buy, you are going to see some BIG price rises of basic food stuffs this year and possible shortages as well. In the UK alone according to BBC Countryfile last night dozens of small farmer are going bust, more are stuggling to feed their herds and stock and face having to slaughter them. Others reported in earlier episides that many farmers have not planted anything over the winter and are also NOT going to plant this spring. Add to the various droughts and blights globally I think we are going to get quite a shock in the coming months.
