The price that we pay for basmati rice at store is 98 cents per pound. About three months back the news of non basmati rice ban doubled the price even when the ban was on non basmati. Now it is back to normal business here at old price. My sense is the current news will impact us again. We use close to 800/1000 lbs per week in our establishment. If our landed consumer price is 98 cents , it shows how little the poor farmer gets in his hand for producing it.
