The insecurity was just caused by people literally filling their trolleys with rice as soon as the store opened every day. The government keeps a huge buffer supply which can be released in the event of genuine emergency.
- jessaustin 7y agoWhy didn't the government use some of the buffer to smooth out this apparently artificial demand spike? That is what every other nation on earth uses its agricultural surplus to do.
- robjan 7y agoBecause there was no emergency and people weren't starving. It just became very inconvenient to go shopping.
