The rice mill
About Us
Since 1995, Arrozeira Pelotas has been engaged in the processes of production, storage, drying, processing, and export of white, parboiled, and whole rice.
Throughout its journey, and thanks to the vision of Dilnei Sander Portantiolo, the company has built its commitment to excellence and the quality of its products to ensure the satisfaction of its customers, employees, and suppliers. We have two industrial plants.
Being located in the south of Rio Grande do Sul, a state responsible for 70% of Brazil’s annual rice production, Arrozeira Pelotas acquires its grains exclusively from local producers, building solid partnerships that ensure on-time deliveries and high-quality, high-yield products all year round.
We are among the first rice exporters in Brazil and part of the select group Brazilian Rice, composed of the best companies in the sector to commercially promote Brazilian rice and its by-products in the international market.
Even with an international presence, we still carry the essence of a family business that serves each customer with the same dedication, closeness, and exclusivity as always, bringing less bureaucracy and more trust to everyone involved in our work.
