    I did a write up on my blog. The jist is very simple. By banning exports of rice, these countries are going to impoverish their own people and make life difficult for everyone else too.

    Considering the societal nature of the countries at issue, I have a nagging feeling that putting the farmers 'back in their place' may be playing some role.
