This week from Corrientes, Argentina we received the sad news of the passing of Daniel Filigoi, a leader and supporter of the Argentine rice farming industry. A regular participant at the Rice Market & Technology Convention, Daniel was a friend and contributor to the success of the conference. Daniel’s smile, laugh, sincerity, positive attitude, energy and willingness to help will be missed by everyone who knew him and we send our greatest sympathy to his wife Marta and all the family and friends.
