Formed with the assets from Farms of Texas Company, RiceTec
has been developing hybrid rice since 1988. With diverse experience
and strong affiliations throughout the world, RiceTec combines
unique skills in rice farming, plant breeding and consumer
marketing.

The history of RiceTec began with Farms
of Texas Company (formed in 1984) - a 50,000 acre rice
farming partnership |
Headquartered in Alvin,
Texas, RiceTec was founded on the premise that modern, technology-based
breeding techniques combined with broad, diverse, germplasm
collection, can efficiently develop and economically produce
superior hybrid seed products, as well as specialty rice
for consumers markets.
| Hybrid rice research
and development work resulted in new hybrids being developed
with the first hybrid seed sold in 1999 |
