Agricultural columnist Khudori explained that production factors are the main reason for the current spike in rice prices. According to him, India’s policy of banning rice exports only fuels the psychological mood.
“The dominant factor is, of course, production. Prices still have growth potential. How much the price will be is difficult to predict. In October, we will begin the lean season. October is usually the start of the planting season, which will be harvested in late January or early February during the main harvest season,” he told Klinik Farma, quoted Thursday (July 9, 2023).
