Import quotas hurt Thailand the most since they export the most. Its a shame too, because they produce the best rice.
If you are a big rice consumer, you should really at least try Thai rice; it is higher quality than the Chinese/Japanese variety, the grain is a bit longer and so it cooks a bit drier (think fluffier). The second best rice on the market is from Taiwan, but they aren't a big producer.
Hope you enjoy the paper. I wrote it to make just one point; should hopefully be an easy read.
