    Because it’s grown in places with some form of workers rights and on land that is more valuable

    It is twice the price because the farmer is italiano and carries his grains wrapped in brown paper bag with his branded sunglass in his leather satchel.

    long grain is also grown under water in asia..never on dry land...so there is no difference. so BS on the water part. the only difference is European labor is more expensive and they sell it for higher price as well. most likely european rice are grown by machine...not by human planting each plant...so it should be less labor needed...but may be per plant it gives back less grain. Anything from EU cost more.

      Yup I agree, I have heard the only reason it is grown in water is it prevents weeds from growing around the rice plant (the ones which cannot grow under water). I really don't know whether the water plays a role on the temperature but seems possible I guess

      He wasn't saying that the fact it was grown underwater was a cost factor. He was just wondering why rice is grown like that. But yeah lower yield a more delicate plant and not using underpaid child labor in some far away country increases cost...

      Can confirm the water is used only to keep weeds at bay. Once the rice has grown, they don't usually keep it flooded anymore.
      Rice varieties that can be grown in dry land instead of flooded paddies also exist, but usually requires more attention in terms of weeds.

    • @darius_sanguna
      @darius_sanguna 3 года назад

      afaik the reason why it is grown in flooded fields is primarily because rice used to be a type of swamp grass (yes grain plants are pretty much all grass) and the plant benefits in various ways from being grown like that, which differ depending on the species of rice.

    I would think the rice that is cheap is the one that can be produced on mass scale that sells way more than the smaller scale production and distribution. I wonder if people can taste the difference between risotto made with different kinds of rice, giving the same flavors and technique.

    • @Citizen-of-theworld
      @Citizen-of-theworld 3 года назад +2

      The difference is very noticeable if you try cooking it. Risotto rice is much more starchy which allows it to produce that creamy starchy liquid that you want in risotto. It would be rubbish if you try that with normal rice.

  • @SnoopCatts
    @SnoopCatts 4 года назад +2

    Just because it takes more to grow it and it's more delicate doesn't seem like a good enough reason as to why it should be more expensive. What about the taste? What about the flavor, texture... Those would seem like they need to be at the top of the list of important factors of why the price would differentiate so dramatically.

    • @cfv1984
      @cfv1984 4 года назад +6

      lower yield, fussier more delicate products cost more money to make so they sell for more money.

    • @MagicBrownMan
      @MagicBrownMan 4 года назад +2

      taste, flavor, texture is subjective it don't matter to the producer of the product cause that is just the fact of the product (as long as it is within the "spec" of the product according to the market). Where as lower yield and more delicate plant affects the amount paid for a unit of the product and therefor they farmer must sell it for more.
