摘要

The price of Thai white rice, a benchmark for the international rice trade, surged 30% on March 31 to USD 790/ton,prompted by news of various countries restricting food exports. Its price has doubled since the end of 2007 and nearly quadrupled from 2003, while the UN's FAO food price index has roughly doubled in the past two years.
