I'm unfamiliar with rice imports/exports/production in Thailand, so your question makes a loud "woooshing" noise over my head --I'm obviously missing something. The only reason why I know about the California rice situation is due to living in the area for a while and making friends with some of the farmers. BTW, on a totally different note, I've downloaded your "usable live programming" stuff from LtU (thanks!) but I still need to read/watch it.

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.
