The USA Rice Millers’ Association (RMA) has announced the addition of two new mill members and two new associate members, marking a significant expansion in its network of industry support.

Joining the RMA as new mill members are Diversified Ingredients, Inc. and Heritage Rice Company, both located in Missouri.

They play a crucial role in handling the loading, unloading, and transfer of rice at major port terminals, ensuring seamless transportation from mills to export markets.
