Louisiana is a top U.S. rice producer and exporter, with over 60% of its roughly 400,000-acre annual crop shipped internationally, valued at approximately $360 million.
One of those producers, Supreme Rice in Crowley, is the state’s largest rice milling operation. Supreme processes over 1 billion pounds of rice annually, and ships worldwide to more than 50 countries.
