- Favorable Ecosystem: the temperate humid subtropical Uruguayan climate and rainfall throughout the year favor the growing of rice.
- Productive system: the national production is based on the rotation of lands and irrigation by flood.
- Safety: Rigorous quality control systems are applied in the grain, soil and water conditions so that the final product meets the most strict phytosanitary requirements and does not harm the environment.
