The purpose of this publication is to give those of you who are not aware or have heard an array of versions, the chance to know our early story and why rice farmers are best served by rice farmers. Like any organization created out of controversy and disagreements, the founders of the US Rice Producers Association were rice farmers willing to speak their minds and address the issues openly and honestly.

THE US RICE PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION

Representing rice producers in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas, USRPA is the only national rice producers’ organization comprised by producers, elected by producers and representing producers in all six rice-producing states.

Since 1997, the US Rice Producers Association
has worked hard to:

Maintain and enhance existing rice markets, both domestic and international.
Find and develop new markets for domestic sales and export of rough, brown and milled rice.
Represent producers in legislative and governmental affairs in Washington, D.C.
Educate and inform producers and the general public about rice and rice market information.
Expand research activities to develop the rice industry

We are all learning what is really “essential” and certainly rice is on that list as evidenced by the increased demand.  Rice farmers, rice millers and the allied businesses from throughout the world are essential in feeding our communities worldwide.

We thank you for your support and participation over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your families, loved ones and citizens during this crisis. Working together, the world will defeat this virus.

The USRPA office will remain open part time for the foreseeable future but staff continues to work from home full time. Please let us hear from you – you can send your comments and/or questions directly to us at info@usriceproducers.com.
