> Rice prices have climbed across southern India as concerns grow that below-normal monsoon rainfall could reduce this season’s paddy harvest. Government figures indicate that the staple’s average retail price rose by as much as 14 per cent between May and July. The price movement is being reported from Bengaluru by CNA’s Priyata Brajabasi.
