Aromatic Rice Imports: Threat or Opportunity

Rice imports into the U.S. have been rising for years, driven primarily by jasmine from Thailand and basmati from India. Both premium varieties are grown in the U.S., but have the imports captured consumers’ imaginations? CoBank Lead Economist Tanner Ehmke and First Grain’s Milo Hamilton stop by to discuss their recent report, “Fragrant Rice: Opportunity or Threat for the U.S. Rice Industry?” Michael and Lesley ask them to unpack their findings and discuss the nature of optimism and pessimism.
