A bag of rice looks simple. Getting it there isn’t. Most of the rice we deal with crosses an ocean first. It sits in a port yard for a few days. Then it gets loaded onto trucks or rail before it reaches anyone’s kitchen. Every step costs money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel surcharges, insurance premiums, port congestion, canal closures; all of it eventually shows up somewhere in an invoice. Even basmati rice price movements this year have tracked ocean freight almost as closely as they’ve tracked the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
