"rice shortages were first felt last summer, leading to a spike in prices"
"...shortage was resolved with...the new harvest in the fall" but prices remained high which #Japan's agriculture ministry attributed "to a distribution bottleneck"
"...speculative purchasing...and some farmers’ reluctance to sell... contributed to keeping rice prices high"

🔸"Distribution bottleneck" sounds euphemistic.
Plenty of rice at local supermarket, but too pricey so eating less rice.
