In 2006-10 the emphasis has reversed, with producers of rice and maize being supported at the expense of consumers. The relatively low %SCT value for rice during 2006-10 compared to other commodities such as beef and sugar is the direct result of policy efforts to limit the transmission of international price rises to the domestic market during 2008 and 2009. The %SCT for rice was 21% and 25% in 2006 and 2007, -40% and -14% in 2008 and 2009, and 30% in 2010. Furthermore, while rice production is the dominant beneficiary of fertiliser subsidies this support is not apportioned to rice, or any other single commodity.
