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
