PHILIPPINES-COMMODITIES-RICE
Philippine Customs personnel unlock container vans containing smuggled rice at Manila port on April 11, 2008 following their seizure. The illegal rice shipment arrived on 21 container vans loaded with 12.6 million pesos (315,000 USD) worth of rice from Thailand. The government has launched a crackdown on unscrupulous traders and rice hoarders to protect the public. A senior UN official visiting Manila said April 11 that food riots from soaring food prices have hit 33 countries and warned that the Philippines, one of the world's largest rice importers, could be next if the government mishandled the issue.
