Increase in rice price due to foreigners

Hi All

I would like to ask for everyones advice on how would you reply in this situation.

We were having lunch in group today and my Japanese coworker said that price of rice is Japan has gone up because foreigners have increased in Japan and foreigners love Japanese rice because its superior.

I couldn't control myself and this is the most hilarious bullshit i have everheard. I spewed the water when i heard it…😅

How would your react?

She then went on convincing me…Is there any truth to it?
