Authorities are encouraging farmers to switch to crops that need less water as the nation braces for drier conditions with the onset of El Ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cumulative rainfall in the key central growing region is 40% below normal, and the move to curb planting is to conserve water for households. The government previously asked growers to reap only one crop this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, India widened its shipment ban to protect domestic supplies, spurring panic buying in some countries. The curbs exacerbated worries over a global shortage amid growing world consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price surge will aggravate stresses in global food markets that have been rocked by wild weather and reduced grain supplies from the Black Sea region because of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 09, 2023 (MLN):&nbsp;Global rice prices soared to the highest in almost 15 years in Asia on mounting concerns over global supplies as dry weather threatens production in Thailand and after top shipper India banned some exports, Bloomberg reported.
