Tuesday 20 May 2008, 9.00-15.30 The Association’s 2nd symposium is supported by the US Rice Federation and as a leading event of the rice sector will draw influential speakers and delegates from the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. 2007/08 has been an unparalleled year for the global rice scene which has seen unprecedented increases in market prices; concerns about long-term supplies; traces of GMOs on the EU and UK market; continuing interest in Basmati authenticity in the UK; and the global response to low level GMO presence in the USA. The Rice Symposium aims to shed light on these and other matters which impact the global rice market.

The principal object of the Association is to promote the interests of members in all matters pertaining to the import, preparation, processing, packaging and marketing of rice.
The operational objectives of the Association are:
- To increase the awareness of and promote the consumption of all types of rice in the UK.
- To become the recognised voice of the industry.
- To secure the removal of impediments and anomalies in Community legislation creating distortions in the UK rice trade.
- To secure the continued improvement in the quality of rice supplied to the UK and encourage the development of rice varieties suited to the need of UK consumers' requirements.
- To harmonise and set the quality and technical standards for the industry.
- To convey the views of the Association to others who have direct or indirect involvement in the rice world, whether nationally, at EU level or overseas.
