Last week I read that some Asian countries had banned the export of all rice except for basmati. Isn't basmati rice eaten in those countries? Anyone know or have experience there?

I'd assume that they make so much money from Basmati that they'd have real economic problems with their balance of trade if they stopped selling it.

Makes sense, Trekkie. Since I hear there are food riots I wondered about priorities.
