PROFILE |
 |
American Rice gives new meaning to "converted" rice. The company is one of the largest US rice millers. Formed in 1969 as a marketing cooperative, American Rice produces and markets white, brown, and instant rice under US brands including Comet, Adolphus, Blue Ribbon, and Sno-Brite. The company's global brands include Abu Bint aka Golden Chopsticks. It sells rice in more than 50 countries worldwide, including Saudi Arabia, the firm's largest market. The company sold its olive operations (it was the #2 US producer) to US industry leader Musco Olive Products in 1998. Formerly 81%-owned by ERLY Industries, American Rice emerged from bankruptcy in late 1999 owned by its creditors.
