Abstract
Much has been happening in the rice market over recent years. Since the entrance of micro pouched in 2000, this sub-sector has seen constant growth and it looks likely to become the biggest sector in 2008, overtaking dry rice in sales value.
Global rice stocks are at a 30-year low with prices at a 10-year high, with the issues of GM contamination and Basmati adulteration keeping suppliers on their toes.
Rice benefits from the British love of ethnic food and also manages to have a healthy perception. Can the market continue to go from strength to strength?
