Has anyone else noticed that Costco changed the size of the rice bags? They used to be 50lb, but it appears that they're all 25lb now. Also, the cost per lb seems to have gone up.

I saw something on YouTube today that there may be rice shortages coming. Apparently India is a big producer, and, IIRC, they’re halting exports on everything that isn’t basmati, in an effort to protect their supply availability at home.

Whether Costco’s rice change has any ties to this (directly or indirectly) I do not know.
