Unlocking The Nutritional Value Of Rice Bran

© 2012 RiceBran TechnologiesAll rights reserved Unlocking the Nutritional Value of Rice Bran22

Our mission is to profitably unlock the nutritional and economic value of rice bran, an underutilized, renewable and sustainable by-product of the global rice milling industry, and to help nourish a growing population expected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050.

We will use RiceBran Technologies’s proprietary and patented bio-refining technologies and know-how combined with alliances, joint ventures and licenses with leading geographic and channel partners to sequentially extract, further process and market high value core products, co-product and co-product derivatives from rice bran to create value for our shareholders and other stakeholders. ………………………………………………………………

Mission Statement


Rice Bran Background

Rice is the primary food source for over 70% of the world's population

• After milling white rice, the remaining raw rice bran quickly degrades, rendering it unfit for human consumption

• Raw rice bran is mostly sold as animal feed

8 - 10% of the rice kernel contains the majority of the nutritional value with many health benefits

RiceBran Technologies foundation is its proprietary technology to stabilize rice bran (SRB)

• Approximately 70 million metric tons of raw rice bran is produced globally as a by-product of the milling process

• With stabilization, this underutilized resource is now available for human consumption

RiceBran Technologies also produces Rice Bran Oil (RBO) and Defatted Rice Bran (DRB)


Bio-Refining Strategy


Rice Bran Bio-Refining Model

• A bio-refinery uses sequential extraction, similar to a petroleum refinery, to produce many high value products from an agricultural raw material

• RiceBran Technologies’s bio-refining starts with raw rice bran

• Proprietary stabilization technology produces SRB - the first product in the SRB stream

• In the parallel oil stream, raw rice bran is processed into RBO, DRB and derivative products. RBO is a high-quality, premium healthy oil

o Priced competitively with other edible oils

o Has an established global market as part of edible oils complex

• RBO can be refined to produce additional high value compounds

o This process is referred to as Stage I bio-refining and is incorporated into our model

o Includes product such as Lecithin, Waxes, Oryzanol, Fatty Acids, Sterols, and Tocols

• DRB can be sold “as-is” for animal nutrition, compounded for branded animal feeds, processed for human food ingredients or bio-refined using Stage II and Stage III processes to create high value compounds like proteins and fiber

U.S. Operations

• Company has three active US plants focused on the Stabilized Rice Bran (SRB) business

• Primary markets: Human food ingredients; USDA-approved meat extender (alternative to soy protein); baked goods; pasta; ready-to-eat cereals; and animal nutrition (primarily equine)

• Exclusive SRB distribution agreement with Beneo for 40+ countries including EMEA

• Alliance with DSM Innovation Center, a subsidiary of global life-sciences leader Royal DSM N.V., to extract and concentrated protein and fiber from rice bran

• Company exited B2C businesses to focus on B2B opportunities

• Immediate goal: add one US based bio-refinery

2011 REVENUE - $11 Million


U.S. Operations

Capacity utilization is subject to seasonal variances in supply and availability


Brazil Operations

• Acquired first rice bran bio-refinery (Irgovel, Brazil) in February 2008, producing Rice Bran Oil (RBO) and Defatted Rice Bran (DRB)

• Increased Irgovel revenue by 60% in year acquired

• Current plant expansion is underway to add technology and increase capacity from 70,000 MTs per year to over 100,000 MTs per year

• Expansion funded with recent minority investment from Alothon and long term, low interest loans from Brazilian development bank

• Irgovel expected to generate significant EBITDA after expansion

• Long term strategic vision: use existing Brazil bio-refinery as model for additional bio-refineries in the US and elsewhere

2011 REVENUE - $26 Million


With rice grown in over 100 countries, RiceBran Technologies had to look globally for the ideal location to process rice bran oil.

Pelotas is the “heart” of South America’s rice growing region.

This pristine geographical location enables us to produce the highest quality rice bran oil available.

RiceBran Technologieshas clearly perfected rice bran oil!
