Rice rush 2025-06-02    

Shoppers line up for stockpiled rice in Matsudo City, Japan, on Saturday. The store offered 5-kilogram packs at 2,160 yen ($15)-much cheaper than the average 4,268 yen ($29.6) price seen at supermarkets in early May. Such government-stockpiled rice has hit store shelves across the country amid high market prices of rice.
