RICE

In the Rice division, 3Q was shaped by an increase in basmati prices and the EU's approval of very strict limits in terms of pesticide waste, making it more difficult to import this variety. Protests in India and among European farmers may bear fruit, but not in the short term.

The 17/18 harvest in the USA was smaller than in 16/17 and prices have increased. The same cannot be said for Europe, where although the new harvest was affected by the heat this summer, it remained at normal levels and prices remained unchanged.

The retail performance of our brands has been very satisfactory and the Ebro Group is establishing itself as the leader across all markets. Our microwaveable products continue to register the sharpest growth; growing at a double-digit rate in both Europe and North America. We have just doubled our capacity in Memphis, and increased it by 40% in Jerez, which is our supply base for our European subsidiaries.

In Europe, we have launched the Benefit range, providing full meal solutions, with a special focus on health.

As far as the US business is concerned, hurricane Harvey heavily impacted the area: facilities (offices, plants and warehouses), businesses, suppliers and consumption. Thankfully, no Ebro employees were hurt, nor were any of our stock or facilities damaged, however, sales in August and September were affected.

Measures are being put in place at the newly-acquired Geovita to generate synergies.

RICE 9M17

Sales rose 1.7% in the period to EUR975 million, outstripping growth in our markets and with a mix that benefits the returns of our brands.

Investment in advertising, which by the 1H17 results had a negative y-o-y spread of EUR3 million, was reduced to EUR21.7 million, narrowing the gap to EUR1.7 million.

The Division's Ebitda increased 5.3% to EUR153.7 million, despite the negative impact of the aforementioned effects. The exchange rate had no major impact on these results.
