I've started this because I don't want to disrupt the other worthwhile thread.
I have always deliberately avoided buying Australian grown rice. I worry about the huge water resources neeed to grow rice in this arid country.
Feel free to convince me why I should change, because in other foodstuffs I do try to buy locally.

Sorry, I just looked further down the page and saw the other thread. I probably should have posted in there.

This seems to address the very issue you have raised. Hope it is helpful.

I would've thought that the lack of food hygiene controls in places like Thailand is
enough argument.
Most of our rice is grown in Thailand, and just packed here.

Thanks NFS. At a quick glance that looks very interesting. I'm supposed to be writing a report atm, so I'll read it in detail later.
