The total rice output of the United States is worth US $ 1.2 billion and the subsidies paid to rice growers stands at US $ 1.4 billion? http://www.indiatogether.org/2005/apr/dsh-subsidies.htm
US rice is dumped on overseas markets at 34% below its cost of production. Half of all US rice farms could not cover their costs were it not for government subsidies.
