    Good point.

    There are a number of reasons why rice costs around the same in the Philippines as the UK. The number one reason is the Philippines imports a large percentage of the rice consumed. Sounds crazy but we are the number one importer of rice in the world!

    Price fixing is another reason

    Yup. Largely due to poor roads transporting the rice within the Philippines.
