USRPA Affiliate Membership

As an industry member of US Rice Producers Association, your participation and guidance are critical to our continued success. The generous support and involvement of our industry members has contributed greatly to the success of the US Rice Producers Association during the past 12 months. While important issues are ongoing, we continue to make great progress for U.S. rice producers, advocating for their interests domestically, solidifying top export markets throughout the Western Hemisphere, and making progress in emerging markets around the world. We continue to be the only national rice organization comprised of rice farmers, elected by rice farmers, and representing rice farmers in all six rice-producing states.
