Rice Market & Technology Convention
Returns July 2021
Stay tuned for details to be announced soon!
The USRPA is currently making plans for RMTC 2021 to take place in July. We believe moving the convention out provides a better opportunity to host our event safely.
The Rice Market & Technology Convention is an annual event that provides an unprecedented program filled with world-class economists, scientists, and other members of the rice industry. In addition, the RMTC organizes a series of sessions, workshops and other case studies in which all conference delegates will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with these world-renowned experts as well as a wold-class exhibit space.
COVID-19 Causes Rice Market & Technology Convention in Panama Postponement
After closely monitoring the developments, the 2020 Rice Market & Technology Convention scheduled to take place in Panama, May 19-21 was postponed due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. The new dates will not be announced until conditions are safe for everyone at home and abroad.
We are all learning what is really “essential” and certainly rice is on that list as evidenced by the increased demand. This makes our international convention even more important. Rice farmers, rice millers and the allied businesses from throughout the world are essential in feeding our communities worldwide.
We thank you for your support and participation over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your families, loved ones and citizens during this crisis. Working together, the world will defeat this virus.
We will continue to monitor progress and keep you informed as to potential new dates. The USRPA office will remain closed for the foreseeable future but staff continues to work from home. Please let us hear from you – you can send your comments and/or questions directly to us at info@usriceproducers.com.
Sincerely Yours,
US Rice Producers Association
