The US Rice Producers Association is a trade group within the food and beverage manufacturing sector that represents rice growers across six states. It is described as the only national organization of rice producers that is elected by producers and speaks for growers in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas. The association is based in Katy, Texas, and operates with a small staff, serving its producer-members through information sharing and industry updates, including a News section and the Rice Advocate newsletter archives. A notable recent development is the appointment of Iris Figueroa as President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2026. The organization primarily serves member rice producers in six states and focuses on representation and information sharing within the rice sector.
