I think we'll leave this country LOLThe price of rice in my country is hard to think. It soared like crazy. The price per kilo before premium rice was 42 pesos now it's 57 pesos or $1. 04 USD. I bought 1 sack $70 USD, last week, it was $40. 10 USD.

Ours is cheaper compared to other countries. Per kilo in New Zealand when I was there was $ 4 hehehe.
But we always spent thousands per week for food only

Agree, we are struggling this time.
It depends on the company, it is 35, 000 Naira here
Not just rice everything has seen a price rise. Bananas that are a staple diet have seen four times the prices that was not so long ago and so also medicines and supplements.
The price of rice here has also risen recently. I'm not sure what the cause is. But what is clear is that he experienced a slight increase from the usual price. Now I usually buy rice at a price of 10,000 rupiah per liter or thereabouts 0,65$.

What is the equivalence of your money to dollars? Everything is expensive now not only rice. In fact, recently the price of red chili is amazing at P 800 pesos or $ 18 USD. The price last week was only $ 5.
1USD here is around 15,000 rupiah, the exchange value is not fixed every day. It seems the same thing is happening here too, prices of goods are rising, perhaps because the long summer means many farmers have failed to harvest so food prices have soared.

The reason of high pricing here is the successive storms. Everything here is expensive1USD here is around 15,000 rupiah, the exchange value is not fixed every day.

We are going through a long summer, some places are experiencing drought and water shortages. So in the summer many farmers don't plant rice, they prefer to plant green beans or corn.The reason of high pricing here is the successive storms. Everything here is expensive

That could be a good alternative, in case. There are also farmers there planting a variety of vegetables, But mostly rice fields and cornfields are what they planted but so sad the flood devasted all the crops.
Being part of the price monitoring council of our community I myself do not know how to address this concern. The President's executive order is hard to implement as it will create resentment from our smalltime vendors who are only earning cents. How can they sell at them price.ordered by the President when they purchase it a higher cost.
Flooding is also often a problem for farmers here. When the rainy season lasts for a long time, it will cause flooding and cause crop failure as well. That's how farming is not an easy profession.

Up to this tme, bad weather continues to attack my country most specifically in Manila and the nearby cities. In my region, there is not storm. It is hot here.
We are also going through a long summer, with many areas experiencing drought and water shortages. In fact, quite a few of them struggle to find water just for household purposes.

That's scary. Farmers are pitiful. They're working hard like carabaos. I feel their struggle. Many suffer like that this time that make prices go up. Everything is expensive, we can't escape but face it.
Yes you are right. Therefore, very few young people are interested in working as farmers. They prefer to work in offices or factories. Not many people are even interested in selling or doing business.
