Madrid, 25th February 2022<\/strong>. The Ebro Group (www.ebrofoods.es<\/a>), through its US subsidiary Riviana Foods (www.riviana.com<\/a>), has reached a binding agreement to purchase the assets comprising the business of InHarvest. Inc. (www.inharvest.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InHarvest is a US company with a strong presence in the industrial (B2B), Food Service and Private Label businesses for premium specialities in rice, quinoa and grains in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This acquisition includes the two plants operated by InHarvest in Colusa and Woodland (California), strategically situated in the rice-growing areas of western United States, where the Ebro Group does not yet have any factories. The business employs aprox. 140 workers and posted a turnover of USD 50.3 million in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreed transaction price is USD 48,75 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This acquisition is of considerable strategic interest for the Ebro Group because: (i) it would be easy to integrate within the Riviana business; (ii) the supply chain, plant network and packaging and production capacity of the Ebro Group in the United States would be improved; (iii) it would provide access to business platforms on which Riviana does not currently have a significant presence (such as Food Service or the military channel); and (iv) the value-added goods produced by InHarvest would be included within Riviana\u2019s product portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction is expected to be completed in early April 2022, once certain formalities agreed by the parties are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approval by the regulatory authorities is not required for this transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
