| The enduring partnership between the US Rice Producers Association (USRPA) and the Central American Rice Federation (FECARROZ) has thrived for over two decades, underscoring a shared commitment to strengthening the region’s rice industry. At a recent meeting, USRPA Western Hemisphere Marketing Manager Iris Figueroa joined key representatives from the Central American rice sector, including leaders from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica, to discuss critical issues affecting the current rice market. “It is essential for us to be present at these meetings—not only to demonstrate our support but also to engage in meaningful, one-on-one conversations to address any questions,” said Figueroa. Participating virtually, USRPA President and CEO Marcela Garcia reaffirmed the association’s dedication to working closely with FECARROZ. Also joining remotely was Alice Gomez, Principal Advisor at Cornerstone, who provided an update on the latest trade developments. USRPA actively runs promotional programs in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador while also collaborating closely with other regions to expand its outreach and impact. |
