www.reuters.com India imposes major rice export ban, triggering inflation fears
India on Thursday ordered a halt to its largest rice export category in a move that will roughly halve shipments by the world's largest exporter of the grain, triggering fears of further inflation on global food markets.
India has banned the export of a good deal of their rice. India is a major rice exporter and rice is the staple food for a huge portion of the world’s population. Add this on top of the weaponization of food by Russia in the Ukraine War and an escalation of conflict over food seems inevitable. Turkey has made statements about supporting Ukraine grain shipments. Could a world war over food be on the horizon?
