The price of rice has gone up bout 3 folds in 2 months or less here in the Philippines. I don't even know how I'm gonna get the money for our daily needs if it continues to be like this. How is the price of rice in other places or countries? Is it just as bad? Is this ever gonna stop?

I've noticed that the brown rice I buy has went up, but not quite so much as yours. It's about 40-50% more than it was at the beginning of the year. I hope it will stop, but I don't expect it to.

the economy is way beyond LOW in the philippines... i think the price of rice will continue to go up. it's sad because rice is our staple food. the wage is Not increasing and prices are Increasing. i've heard that jeepney fares have also increased. just sad....

The price of rice raising since last month cause of some western country that lack of rice,
which many rice in Asia were import to there and sold with high price.
This cause rice in Asia, especially South-East-Asia not enough for the market,
and price is raising to sky.
You should know that price will go up but never go down,
even the market is good,
the price of rice will still remain the same.
