Nathan added these pithy words on 20 Jul 08 at 12:57 pmI’ve lost track since they go back and forth on it, but Pakistan has been restricting wheat exports too. They’re allowing transit of shipments from India to Afghanistan, but assorted thugs in the tribal areas have instituted their own bans on shipments to Afghanistan.

Josh SN added these pithy words on 21 Jul 08 at 4:54 pmThe map is wrong in some ways. For example, India has a deal set up for this year to send a (quarter or half) million tons of rice to Myanmar, to deal with Myanmar’s expected shortfall of 1 million tons.
By the way, Myanmar is a cooler name for the country than the British colonialist’s Burma, even if the awful SPDC, the junta formerly known as SLORC, adopted it.
