Rice
The commodity rice is a main ingredient in the diet of billions of people. It is consumed as a main course in many cultures or serves as a side-dish. Rice is popular thanks to its complex carbohydrates and low fat levels, which makes it a healthy food type. Rice production is quite different from other grain types as it grows primarily in highly moisture and hot climate. It grows in low tide of water and the process of harvesting rice is very labor intensive.
Global warming and population growth in regions like Asia and the Middle East both stand to increase the price of rice in the years to come by weakening supplies and bolstering demand. Both of these trends look set to continue well into the future which bodes well for rice traders.
