Tweet of the Day: South Korea’s 53% Rice Tariff
SKorea has imposed a 513% tariff on imported rice for years. It's ridiculous.

As a member state of the WTO, SKorea is obligated to import rice even if doesn't want to. In 2014, it had to import up to 409,000 tonnes of rice.https://t.co/CnCL80tYQZ
Headline is a little off. 53% in the headline, 513% in the tweet.
