This modification was complemented by statements from Ebro Foods' president, Antonio Hernández, to 'Las Provincias' announcing that its subsidiary Herba Ricemills (which oversees the entire European rice business of the multinational) would not purchase rice from Myanmar and Cambodia for the next 2 years after overcoming the drought of the last 2 campaigns and because the prices of these imports were "ruinous" for European agriculture. #EtiquetadoAlimentario #OrigenDelArroz #SOS (translated)
