Both rice and wheat supplies are now facing alarming shortages. The prospect of another world food crisis that would rival those in 2007\u201308, 1972\u201374 and 1966\u201368 is\u00a0front-page news. In the past three years, the world food economy has been severely stressed by COVID-19 supply disruptions, adverse weather, Russia\u2019s escalation against Ukraine\u2019s grain shipping and storage facilities and the rapid emergence of drought-inducing El Nino. Regional conflicts in Africa, which cut off food supplies to vulnerable populations, have become a constant.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
The great paradox of food security is that only governments can ensure it, but markets must \u2018do the heavy lifting\u2019. Learning to manage this symbiotic relationship has proven a challenge for most countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indonesia demonstrated the lessons it has learned when it steered the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali to a dramatic declaration that started with a primer on food security. It is uncertain if India, the current G20 chair, can provide similar leadership on calming an increasingly turbulent world food economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India\u2019s rice export ban on 21 July 2023 needs to be understood in this context. Food security\u00a0begins at home, and the general election scheduled for the spring of 2024 has politicians\u2019 eyes focused on stabilising staple food prices. India will still try to manage the rice export ban carefully to minimise its impact on regular customers. Exempting par-boiled rice protects Bangladesh and a few African markets. Existing contracts for physical loadings are likely to be honoured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As chair of the 2023 G20, and with\u00a0Indonesia\u2019s successful 2022 G20 Summit\u00a0still fresh in mind, India seeks to balance domestic needs with export reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the Indian shock to the world rice market unfolds, three countries are in the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the question remains whether Indonesia will receive the full 1 million tonnes of rice it contracted from India. If it does, that will calm the whole world rice market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, the status of the Philippines\u2019 rice stocks is crucial. A number of experienced technocrats in the Philippine Cabinet have likely planned for this contingency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third, Vietnam\u2019s export patterns warrant scrutiny. While its crop outlook seems good, there is always the danger that the Vietnamese government might restricts exports in response to domestic hoarding. Managing price expectations in Vietnam will be critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a rice emergency, all eyes inevitably turn to China. Its rice production has suffered significantly from\u00a0heat and floods. The exact level of rice stocks is a state secret but they are by far the largest in the world. Still, they are dispersed geographically, which somewhat limits central government access and control. Food security in China is a high priority, and with both wheat and rice prices rising, it is hard to tell what the Chinese response will be. Any effort to pre-emptively procure more imports will spook the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a real rice panic, Japan might play a similar role as in 2007. Then, the mere announcement by Japan\u2019s prime minister that Japan would start negotiations with the Philippines to sell some of its surplus \u2018 WTO rice\u2019 was sufficient to \u2018prick the speculative bubble\u2019. This sent world rice prices sliding. Japanese rice stocks\u00a0are smaller now\u00a0than in 2007, but even an offer of half a million tonnes to the neediest buyers in the region could calm any panic buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rice experts at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are reasonably optimistic the world can get through the projected rice shortages. In their August 2023 release of the World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates, world rice production for the 2023\u201324 marketing year is forecast to be 8.1 million tonnes larger than in 2022\u201323. World consumption is forecast to decrease by 1 million tonnes due to fewer imports by many countries in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. There will doubtless be some localised hunger from reduced consumption, but widespread rice shortages are not in the USDA\u2019s forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Asian outlook is surprisingly reassuring considering El Nino and India\u2019s partial rice export ban. A projected decline in China\u2019s rice imports in 2022\u201323 and a subsequent large drawdown in domestic rice stocks should have a favourable impact. The USDA also expects Indonesia and the Philippines to come through the global rice shortages with ample stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rice is a more valuable commodity than before the start of El Nino and the Russian attacks on Ukraine\u2019s wheat and corn exports. Rice prices are likely to rise over the next 6\u201312 months, perhaps by another US$100 per metric tonne for Thai or Vietnamese rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big question though is whether the price rise will be gradual \u2014 giving consumers time to adjust without panic \u2014 or whether there will be a rapid spike. The fact that there has been little panic since India\u2019s announcement in July gives hope that the increase in rice prices will be gradual and contained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
