CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF POSITIVE IMPACT
CELEBRATING 25 YEARS! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR JOURNEY!
In 1995, Lotus Foods made its first sales of Bhutanese Red Rice and Forbidden Rice to Bay Area chefs. Over the past 25 years, the company has imported over 25 million pounds of certified organic rice from a multi-country network of family rice producers whose lives and communities have been transformed by access to markets and organic and Fair Trade premiums. Lotus Foods’ commitment to organic and regenerative practices is generating more rice from less land, preserving valuable genetic biodiversity, saving hundreds of millions of gallons of water annually, promoting long-term soil health, and removing greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere.
25 YEARS OF POSITIVE IMPACT
By supporting rice grown using organic, fair trade and More Crop Per Drop practices, Lotus Foods has had a significant positive impact cumulatively, enabling the company to:
- Save 4 billion gallons of fresh water – enough to give a half gallon of water to every person on the planet.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35,000 tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents) – which is like taking 7,000 cars off the road for a year.
- Source over 25 million pounds of organic rice.
- Lightly milled long grain rice retains 66% of wholesome bran and is aromatic of cinnamon and cloves
- Grown by households of the Koloharena cooperative in Amparafaravola
- Produced with system of rice intensification (SRI) practices, requiring less water and seeds for "more crop per drop"
- Sourced with fair trade practices and to preserve local biodiversity
