BUSINESS [Abstract]
BUSINESS	NOTE 2. BUSINESS RiceBran Technologies is a vertically integrated ingredient company serving food, animal nutrition, and specialty markets focused on value-added processing and marketing of healthy, natural, and nutrient dense products derived from rice bran, an underutilized by-product of rice milling. We apply our proprietary technologies and intellectual properties to convert raw rice bran into high value products including stabilized rice bran (SRB), RiBalance, a rice bran nutritional package derived from SRB; RiSolubles, a nutritious, carbohydrate and lipid rich fraction of RiBalance; RiFiber, a fiber rich insoluble derivative of RiBalance and ProRyza, a rice bran protein-based product, and a variety of other valuable derivatives extracted from these core products. In granular form, SRB is a food additive used in the production of products for both human and animal consumption. We believe SRB has certain inherent qualities that make it more attractive for this purpose than food additives based on the by-products of other agricultural commodities, such as corn and soybeans. Our SRB and refined SRB products and derivatives support the production of healthy, natural, hypoallergenic, gluten free, and non-genetically modified ingredients and supplements for use in meats, baked goods, cereals, coatings, health foods, and high-end animal nutrition. Our target customers are natural food, food and animal nutrition manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, both domestically and internationally. We manufacture and distribute SRB in various granulations from four locations: two leased facilities located within supplier-owned rice mills in Arbuckle and West Sacramento, California; one company-owned facility in Mermentau, Louisiana and since November 2018, our first company-owned rice mill in Wynne, Arkansas, Golden Ridge Rice Mills, Inc. At our Dillon, Montana facility, we produce SRB based products and derivatives that have been further refined through our proprietary processes. Our Golden Ridge rice mill in Wynne, Arkansas also supplies grades U.S. No. 1 and No. 2 premium long and medium white rice. In April 2019, we purchased MGI Grain Processing, LLC, a grain processing facility in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, to expand the variety of grains which we can offer to the market.
