But enough people have apparently been hoarding rice for Wal-Mart to restrict rice sales.
The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, is restricting sales of rice at one of its chains - the latest sign of a global shortage of the staple food.
Sam's Club, Wal-Mart's cash-and-carry division, says customers can buy a maximum of four bags per visit.
The limit applies to jasmine, basmati and long grain white rice.
The international price of rice has risen by 68% this year and Wal-Mart said the restrictions were "due to recent supply and demand trends".
Hmmmm.
