My theory is price increases due to the the Bernanke loose money policy and the spending plans of the last 2 presidents debasing the US dollar. Resulting in stagflation or as they say these days the jobless recovery.
Stuff I gleaned from reading the WSJ is SE Asia awash in rice I'd imagine a reaction to the shortages and rationing of last year. Though California Valley Congressman Devin Nunes had an op-ed blaming the Endangered Species Act for the diversion of water to the Bay Area to protect a minnow fish. Speaking of endangered species sounds like California farmers "dehydrated" out of business.
Also they still grow sugar in Hamakua don't they? Good thing because of the sugar shortage-

Other people want to make friends- I just want to make money.
