Yes, that goes back to my original point.

The rising price of futures contracts was said to be caused by shortages of the physical product. No shortages of at least rice and wheat have surfaced. Apparently, there's enough product to feed the world, it just now costs so much that many impoverished parts of the world will suffer from the expense of the food, not actual shortages.
