Riviana Foods has announced that it is doubling the production capacity for its microwaveable rice products under the Minute rice brand. The ready-to-serve rice plant, constructed in 2011, was integrated into Riviana’s processing and packaging plant in Memphis, Tenn., a 400,000-sq-ft facility that began operation in 2010. According to Bastiaan de Zeeuw, Riviana’s president and CEO, the expansion is in response to double-digit growth of sales of Minute Ready-to-Serve products every year since their launch in 2006. The capacity expansion is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.
