As part of this commitment, the company participates in the ARISE program, an effort to develop and implement practices that help reduce inorganic arsenic in rice, further enhancing the quality and safety of one of the world’s most important agricultural products.

A challenge facing the global rice industry

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in the environment, in soil, and in water. Its presence in rice is not a phenomenon associated with specific regions or producers, but rather a challenge that has been of concern to the international scientific community and the food industry for years.

Due to the specific way it is grown, rice is more prone to absorbing inorganic arsenic than other grains. For this reason, the development of new cultivation practices and management methods is currently one of the most important areas of research in rice cultivation.

Quality requires constant improvement

At Arnaoutelis S.A., we believe that quality is not something that can be taken for granted. It is the result of continuous effort, research, and improvement.

Our participation in the ARISE program is fully in line with this philosophy. Through collaboration with specialized agencies and scientific organizations, we aim to actively contribute to the development of practices that can lead to even higher production standards.

This is an approach that requires a long-term commitment, continuous evaluation, and a willingness to evolve. For us, the search for better solutions never ends, because we believe that true quality is built through constant progress.

Investing in the future

Participation in the ARISE This represents yet another step in the company’s strategy for responsible growth, innovation, and continuous improvement.

At a time when demands for higher-quality and safer food are constantly increasing, Arnaoutelis S.A. continues to invest in knowledge, research, and partnerships that can create added value at every stage of the production process.

Because our commitment isn’t limited to the present. It’s about shaping a better future for rice farming, for our partners, and for the people who trust our products every day.

The project is being carried out through a partnership between:

• NOVA AGRO CONSULTING LLC
• ARNAOUTELIS S.A. 
• ELGO – DIMITRA / Institute of Genetic Improvement and Plant Genetic Resources

Further details about the ARISE program and the activities to be carried out under it will be announced at a later stage, as the initiative continues to develop.
