Why timor leste depends on rice import?5 answersTimor-Leste depends on rice imports due to various factors. One reason is the preference for maize over rice among households, leading to a lower demand for domestic rice. Additionally, the high price of domestic rice compared to imported rice makes imported rice more affordable and preferred by consumers, especially in urban areas. The limited cash availability of households also contributes to the reliance on imported rice, as many households cannot afford to buy subsidized rice frequently. Furthermore, the traditional methods of parboiling local rice result in poor grain quality, making it difficult for local rice to compete with imported rice in terms of quality. These factors combined have led to Timor-Leste's dependence on rice imports for meeting its rice consumption needs.
