What you need to know

The market for rice is considerable, standing at $2.5 billion, but has stagnated in recent years. Consumer interest in a wide range of cuisines featuring rice as a component should lead to growth in coming years, but the category may also benefit from leveraging healthier attributes, potentially from rice/grain blends that merge healthy benefits.
