I would have thought plastic costs more than rice, and would require running through a machine. But I'm not claiming I know anything about that.
But then there are some that would rather steal a dime than earn a dollar.
BTW - there is plenty of rice grown in the USA. One of my (pre-retirement) customers has been growing rice in Arkansas for decades. I'm sure its not
plastic. They also export rice out of the US.
