    Didn't we come up with this variety originally? Correct me if I'm
    wrong but I believe it was from U.P. Los Banos.
    I wonder where all of the Philippines' rice ends up?

    You may disagree with my opinion, but do so in a non profane manner. Otherwise, I will simply ignore it!

    In 2018, Thailand exported the highest volume of jasmine rice to the United States, accounting for a 33 percent share among other export destinations. Thai jasmine rice was recognized globally for its high quality among all types of rice traded.Oct 9,
