Sourcing U.S. Rice

More than 80 percent of the rice we eat in the United States is grown right here, on family farms.  American rice farmers produce 20 billion pounds of rice each year in six states, including Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas.

The “Grown in the USA” logo identifies rice that is grown and packaged in the United States.  When you choose U.S. rice, you can be confident that you’re eating healthy and sustainable rice held to the highest growing, milling, and quality standards.  You’re also limiting food miles and supporting local farmers.

Learn to Look

You can find U.S.-grown rice in nearly every grocery store around the country, you just need to know where to look.  Check the bag or container of rice for the “Grown in the USA” logo or “USA” as the country of origin.
