Ricegrowers Limited, trading as SunRice,[6] is claimed to be the "world's fifth largest ricefood exporter",[7] and have historically been one of Australia's largest exporters of processed branded food products[8] (though this was tempered somewhat during Australia's recent major drought).

SunRice's main production is still based in regional New South Wales, Australia, with a main office in Leeton, and Rice Mills in Leeton, Deniliquin, and Coleambally (with the Coleambally mill operational again after being temporarily "moth balled" during the last major drought in Australia[9]). SunRice also operates CopRice stockfeed plants in Leeton, Tongala and Cobden, Victoria.


In August 2015 SunRice announced TV Cook and personality Poh Ling Yeow as its new brand ambassador. Foodie, author, artist and television presenter, Poh is one of Australia's most celebrated cooks.[10]
