India has prohibited the export of non-basmati white rice in an effort to reduce local inflation, increasing concerns about potential future hikes in the price of food globally only days after Russia's cancellation of a significant grain agreement drove wheat and maize prices soaring. Meanwhile, at various grocery stores in the United States, people were seen lining up to buy the maximum allowed quantity of rice and other food items.
