Sad to see us still in the stone age. The yield in most countries which grow rice is 7 tonnes/ha average, when we are around 4. US is 10.

Just playing devil's advocate here....if we import rice, fertiliser, seed paddy all from one country will it be in their interest to give us the best they have??

GERIATRIC INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX FILE HOLDER SINCE 1974/1975. Sunday, 09 February 2025 09:36 PM
STOP SUBSIDISING THE FARMER ANY FURTHER. We tax payers need to have three square meals at least. In the 1970's upto around 2000 we were paying almost 70% of our Income as DIRECT TAX -55% PLUS 20% SURCHARGE thereon as SAVE THE NATION FUND or whatever they called it. Now we are Retired WITHOUT PENSION....How are we to exist let alone living. For us the monthly expense is Cost of Existence NOT Cost of Living!

ANY CHANCE OF GOVT, LEASING OUT LAND TO FARMERS AND BUYING BACK THE CROP? Sunday, 09 February 2025 11:32 PM
THE DAYS OF THE MAJORITY HAVING THEIR 3 RICE MEALS A DAY ARE LONG GONE. DON'T THINK WE CAN BLAME THE FARMERS OUTRIGHT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, MOST FARMERS AROUND THE WORLD ARE GETTING A RAW DEAL, THE MIDDLE MAN MAKES A KILLING AND THE POOR FARMERS SUFFER AT TIMES A LOSS. REMEMBER, OUR FARMERS DO NOT HAVE ALL THE MODERN EQUIPMENT LIKE MOST COUNTRIES HAVE TODAY. SOME OF US DO NOT EAT 3 MEALS OF RICE A DAY, JUST LUNCH AND BFAST AND DINNER SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN RICE. MANY OTHERS TO CHOOSE FROM.
