As a SunRice Grower, you can count on us to deliver:
Competitive pricing and guaranteed payment options
We work hard to deliver strong paddy prices and to provide flexible options to suit your business. Plus, our business structure enables the SunRice Group to help withstand drought and changing market dynamics, which means you can rely on us to pay you for your contracted crop.
Market insights to drive growth
Our deep consumer and market research helps drive demand for Riverina rice, shifting from bulk sales to high-value branded products. Through strategic marketing and category insights, we create stronger market opportunities for our growers, placing your rice into the highest possible returning markets and delivering better paddy returns.
Financial and contracting solutions
We can offer you access to tailored financial support, including early-access financing for approved growers for water and other crop inputs, as well as crop insurance and contract options so you can manage your earning profile in a way that suits you.
Research and development
Through our research partnerships, we drive improvements in rice genetics and water use efficiency through automation and supporting aerobic rice systems to help enhance yield, efficiency, and climate resilience.
Pool profits to growers
Our pool system means profits from Riverina Rice sales via our Australian Rice Pool Business flow back to our growers. Unlike most other commodities, that means while growers wear the risk of market pricing, when conditions are favourable, you get the upside, not the Company.

Commitment to innovation in rice farming
Situated in the heart of Gogeldrie, in the Yanco district near Leeton, Garry Knagge and his wife Marg represent the third generation of rice growers on a farm that has been in the family since the 1930s.
Coming home to grow
For Hayden Dalitz, stepping into rice farming was a leap into the unknown, but it was one he was ready for. Based in Moulamein, around 100km west of Deniliquin, Hayden and his fiancé Sam have recently returned to Sam’s family property, Edward Park Pastoral.
From the farm to the boardroom
For John Bradford, rice isn’t just a crop, it’s a legacy. Nestled in southern NSW, one of his farms has been in continuous ownership for over 110 years. John and his wife Julie purchased it from family in 2020, carrying forward a tradition that now involves their three children.
