I'll only actually worry when Thailand bans hom mali rice exports.

India ban of rice export is partly because Thailand and nearby countries are also expected to have a bad crop this year which will put pressure on Indian rice prices. The first year probably should not be a problem but if it carries on to the next year then it could be bad in term of prices.
And after that happens, how long from the point where you worried to the point where a whole bunch of people starve?
Okay I'm properly worrying now. I'll throw in a couple more thoughts and prayers to change the mind of Modi while at it.
Welcome to the group, we meet alternate Thursdays and worry the rest of the time. For most of us that's as far as at goes. Some of us get all hyperfixated and might save the world, though.
