Most rice farmers don't order their rice delivered from a different continent.

Well, they might, but they wouldn't be reselling rice they'd ordered. That would tend to defeat the idea of making your own rice.
More relevantly, it's not at all implausible for a farming operation to be selling rice on another continent, and to schedule shipments several months in advance.
