Rice price doubles in 3 months

THE LATEST:  
The New York Times reports that QUOTE “rising prices and a growing fear of scarcity have prompted some of the world’s largest rice producers to announce drastic limits on the amount of rice they export. The price of rice, a staple in the diets of nearly half the world’s population, has almost doubled on international markets in the last three months. That has pinched the budgets of millions of poor Asians and raised fears of civil unrest” END QUOTE (New York Times, March 29, 2008 “High rice cost raising fears of Asia unrest”: New York Times, 29 March 2008).  
 
The "forgotten", man-made WW2 Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust)of 1943-1945 that killed 6-7 million people kicked off when the price of rice doubled and then ultimately quadrupled - the world is facing a disaster.
