what's the price of rice in your palce?

knowing the price of rice- a staple food in most of the countries in asia may not be as interesting as other topics for other people here in my lot. but i do think that for us, who are eating rice, this is an informative discussion. here the philippines, the price of rice is going up steadily. there even has a news that we have a shortage of rice supply. the result? the producers are marking the prices up. the government has said that they have plans to subsidize this, but we still have to wait and see. i think it the price is about 40-50pesos per kilo.

The current price of rice here in the Philippines ranges from Php25.00 (USD0.62) to Php40.00 (USD 1.00). But, it is quite alarming. Just this morning I saw in the news that there's a speculation that prices of rice will go as Php 70.00 per kilo or about USD 1.75 in the coming months. It will be so much burden for those who really can't afford to cope up with the rising prices of all commodities. Though the government is selling NFA rice at only Php 18.25 per kilo or about USD 0.45 per kilo, they allow only 2 kilos per customer in the city and only a half kilo in the provinces. I hope the people in the authority should address this global issue so that we can all survive this crisis in rice supply.

How cool is this! A discussion about the "price of rice in China!" Honestly, I don't know how much rice is here - I don't buy it that often.

Where I live the price is about USD 0.90 per kilo. What is the dollar exchange for a rmb?

yeah, but there in India, Price of Rice is i think goes down, and its about something Rs 20 per KG now, keep posting!!!

the price of rice here in our place would be $1/kilo

It's been a very long time since I shopped for rice, but I think it's still cheap, less than $1 a pound. But, it depends on how you buy it. It can probably be less than 60 cents a pound if you buy it from the bulk bin. It costs more if you buy it pre-packaged. I remember when I could get it for 30 cents a pound. Beans are also cheap, but it depends on where and how you buy those, too. Rice and Beans is a very common staple where I live, near the U.S./Mexican Border.

the last time I purchased rice it was a 20 pound bag of long grain white rice for $10 - so 50cents a pound. Which 50 cents a pound is normal for long grain white rice when you buy a 1 or 2 pound bag - but when buying a large 20 pound sack it is usually less expensive than that - I previously was paying under $7 for 20 pounds of jasmine rice. Brown rice is my favorite and it is going for about 80cents a pound :(

Everything's price seems to keep on increasing. Here in Guangzhou, the common rice is about RMB5/kg. It is impossible to find rich which can be lower RMB4/kg here.

i live in the philippines. we also have a rice shortgae so the price of it is soaring high. a kilo of rice here is priced at twenty five to a high of 50 pesos per kilo. one dollar is equivalent to forty one philippine peso. you do the math. the price is really high because what we gt at twenty five pesos being the cheapest, is not really good.

I can buy five pounds of rice or bags of ten or twenty pounds! It depends on what size it is, how much it costs! I would pay no more than three dollars for a ten pound bag!

You can buy a 1 lb bag of plain long grain white rice for $1.19 here...if you get it premade or in a flavored mix it is something like $3 a pound. I have no idea what that would exchange to be though!

I am not sure because I dont do the shopping for rice.I think the cheapest is eighteen pesos per kilo in the Philippines

yes u are right the prices of essential commodities is rising globally in india it has risen almost 30% the price of rice is 450 inr now it is upto 550 inr

Yep, the price of the rice in my country, Malaysia does increase recently and the ordinary one is around USD1.60 per kilo. Rice sold here is normally in pack of 5 kg, 10kg and 20kg. Rice of better grade of course will be more expensive. I usually buy the 5 kg pack which could last for two months or so for a family of four.

i do not know the exchange rate of rmb. i live in india there are various grades of rices. the usual ones are Rs 16-20, i.e half a dollar KG.

here in the philippines, the comercial rice runs frm 30 pesos to 35 pesor per kilo. but there is nfa rice which is 18.25 pesos per liko. however commercial rice is delicious compare to nfa rice.

it ranges from 16-20 RS per kilo here which is half a dollar...In india
