Rice is a staple food product with high nutritional value, rich in complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and it is a notable element of the Mediterranean diet. In Europe, the variety that is mainly cultivated is Japonica, known for its compact texture and creamy aftertaste.
European rice stands out for its high quality, thanks to the strict specifications that govern its cultivation. These specifications ensure plant resilience; they increase crop yield and reduce the environmental footprint of agricultural activities. All of the above are achieved through:
The implementation of European legislation on sustainable plant protection practices, with restrictions on the use of chemicals and strengthening of environmental responsibility
The adoption of farming practices in accordance with the principles of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the European protocols for the production of high-quality, safe and sustainable products with respect for the grower and the consumer
The use of digital technologies and precision farming tools (Digital Farming Solutions) that enhance effectiveness and reduce resource consumption
The choice of resistant and certified seed varieties, with the objective of optimizing yields and adapting to climatic and environmental conditions
