The prices are not going to budge down. Any country with a brain will be buying the cheaper rice and adding it to their national food reserves. As global warming will make farming less reliable and you better fucking stockpile because famines are coming everywhere.
Rice is a perishable. It cannot be stored for too long.
30+ years is not too long?

If anyone could pull this off it's probably Japan but rice is notorious for failing here. During previous rice harvest shortage many countries opened up their rice reserves just for nobody wanting it so theres a lot of work to do here still.
If stored in a sterile refrigerated vacuum, sure. But it might be more practical on a large scale to just buy new rice every few years
the sterile vacuum isn't hard, nor is the refrigerated.
For the scale required to store hundreds on tonnes of rice? Anything less wouldn't be much if a national food reserve.
yeah. you can refrigerate naturally just by digging down. vacuum seal the bags then pasteurize them.
