Riviana Foods Announces Partnership with Success Rice and SAI’s FSA
Riviana Foods Inc. announced Success Rice will partner with a group of farmers in Arkansas who are farming rice sustainably. The company will work with SAI Platform's Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA), a toolset for farms and companies in agricultural value chains that helps assess, improve and verify on-farm sustainability performance. Riviana Foods will purchase rice from these farmers (using a mass balance approach) in an amount that is equal to the volume of its Success Rice white and brown rice consumption.
"We consider sustainable agricultural practices to be essential, not only from a good stewardship standpoint, but also as a fundamental business principle," says Erica Larson, director of marketing at Riviana Foods. "To ensure a better future, it is crucial we prioritize support for farmers who engage in sustainable practices."
