Australia potentially relying on foreign rice production is ‘laughable’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the imminent collapse of Australia’s rice industry is purely a metaphor for a wider problem.\n\nIt was revealed on Monday, Australia’s total rice production is down 80 per cent.\n\nThe Chief Executive of Sunrice – one of Australia’s biggest rice producers – said the country is at risk of running out of rice by Christmas, as the company slashed a third of its workforce.\n\nMr Jones said this has been “an ongoing disgrace,” pointing the finger at the growing issue of Australian water allocation as a primary cause.\n\nAustralian farmers have not only had to suffer through drought, but given the nature of private water holdings, some have been unable to access the necessary resource to continue production.\n\n“We have the most productive and the most efficient rice industry in the world,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“The issue today is whether or not we’re going to maintain supply here by importing from Vietnam.\n\n“We’ll face the problem of having to import food from overseas. It’s laughable.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
