Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 4, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on August 30, 2004 (the “Schedule 13D”), by Ebro Puleva S.A. (“Parent”) and by Ebro Puleva Partners G.P. (“Purchaser”) (Purchaser and Parent together, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Riviana Foods Inc. (the “Company”) for $25.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash, and certain agreements entered into in connection therewith, upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Parent and Purchaser on July 30, 2004, as amended (“Schedule TO”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) and (c) The Offer’s initial offering period expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on August 26, 2004. Following the expiration of the initial offering period, Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer. On August 27, 2004, Purchaser and Parent announced that a subsequent offering period for the Offer would commence immediately and expire on September 1, 2004 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless extended.

The Depositary for the Offer advised Parent and Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the subsequent offering period of the Offer, an aggregate of 13,947,076 Shares were validly tendered to the Purchaser in the Offer and Purchaser immediately accepted all such Shares for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

On September 3, 2004, Purchaser, having acquired more than 90% of the outstanding Shares, entered a “short-form” merger under Delaware law without any action by any other shareholder of the Company. Purchaser formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ebro Puleva, Inc., solely for the purpose of consummating the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, Ebro Puleva, Inc. was merged with and into the Company and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

Except for the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Agreements, the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement Amendment and the purchase of Shares following the expiration of the initial offering period and the subsequent offering period as described in this Amendment and in the Schedule 13D, no transactions in Shares were effected by Purchaser or Parent during the 60 days prior to the date hereof.

(d) Inapplicable.

(e) Inapplicable.
