Can we trust Ebro Foods?

1.  In 2004 Ebro bought the American company Riviana Foods. In 2005 they begin cutting staff and in 2006 they shut down the Abbeville rice mill in Louisiana.

2.  Last year Ebro terminated a 10 year contract with a Puerto Rican grain company. The contract was signed in 2006. Ebro walked out of the contract citing a fundamental change in circumstances.

3.  In March 2010 Ebro is the subject of investigation by the Spanish competition regulator. Valencian growers claim that Ebro and other rice companies are fixing the price of rice paid to growers.
