. 23 Apr 08 - Sam's Club warehouse division said on Wednesday it is limiting sales of several types of rice, the latest sign that fears of a rice shortage are rippling around the world. Sam's Club is limiting sales of the 20-pound (9 kg), bulk bags of rice to four bags per customer per visit, and is working with suppliers to ensure the products remain in stock. Sam's Club said is not limiting sales of flour or cooking oil at this time. Food costs have soared worldwide, spurred by increased
demand in emerging markets like China and India; competition with
biofuels; high oil prices and market speculation. |
