We support the cultivation of rice which is done on naturally salty soil where only this type of plant can grow, thus contributing to the agricultural economy but also to the preservation of the ecosystem. In co-operation with specialized agriculturists we monitor and control the use of fertilisers and pesticides in every stage of the cultivation. Our aim is the protection of the consumer as well as that of the environment.

PRODUCTION
Agrino has invested into making its factories as environmentally friendly as possible, aiming at leaving nothing to be wasted. The kernel's husk which is removed during milling is lead to a furnace where it is burned. The exhaust that is released is lead to the boiled room where steam is produced that is used in the parboiling procedure. The remainder of the steam goes to the generator where electricity is produced that covers 70-80% of the factory's electricity consumption. During the burning of the husk, ash is produced which contains a high percentage of silicon oxide and is suitable for industrial use. The burning takes places under environmentally friendly conditions, since a line of filters, located near all dust generating machines, prevent the ashes from being released into the atmosphere.

Except for the ash that is used in the industry, the rice by-products that are removed during the production process are not wasted. The broken kernels are used for pet food, while the rice flour finds use in baby food, snacks and in the brewery business. Moreover, all our packagings are made out of recyclable materials, since we believe that a natural product needs a natural package.
