Is this a sign of things to come? <br />cheers,<br />CaptonCaptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647322628770354538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25101267.post-92018393468922995152016-04-25T19:32:03.720+05:302016-04-25T19:32:03.720+05:30am not fully conversant with the dynamics of paddy...am not fully conversant with the dynamics of paddy post this first stage.<br />ideally, paddy has to be aged at least for 5 months before it is milled. <br />this current over-supply of paddy should not reflect as rice over-supply as of now. <br />but if the prices remain high - say in august/sept - then it is clear that the millers and then onwards are making a tremendous killing.csmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557461643577046017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25101267.post-80708137477988755412016-04-25T09:00:37.402+05:302016-04-25T09:00:37.402+05:30If there is an oversupply of rice, then why are th...If there is an oversupply of rice, then why are the retail prices still not coming down?<br /><br />Is this an artifically created high price by hoarders?Mageshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321797698733106677noreply@blogger.com
