Uncle Nico: From the countryside to the summit

At Tío Nico Rice, our passion and commitment go beyond simple rice production. Located in the rich agricultural region of Caapucú, we combine traditional agricultural practices with technological innovation, such as annual crop rotation with soybeans in low-lying fields and the adoption of precision agriculture. This approach allows us to produce rice that is not only high quality, but also sustainable and environmentally friendly. With the help of advanced technologies and expert collaborations, we are redefining what it means to produce superior quality rice in Latin America.

Innovation from the Field to the Consumer

Uncle Nico Rice is a living representation of Paraguayan heritage and passion. From our deep roots in fertile fields to the tables of our loyal consumers, we have built a history of dedication, progress, and genuine interest in quality. Each grain of Uncle Nico Rice carries a commitment: to maintain the perfect balance between the tradition we have inherited from our land and the innovation we apply. Our daily challenge is to continue raising standards, ensuring a product of excellence, and a food experience that honors and respects every consumer.

Crops in Lowlands and Rotation with Soybeans

During a field day organized at our agricultural unit in Capucú, the innovative practice of cultivating soybeans in low-lying fields and their annual rotation in the same soil with rice was demonstrated. This technique has proven to be beneficial for the health and yield of rice. The previous cultivation of soybeans helps in the control of Colorado rice and other problems, resulting in a reduced need for pesticide application. Thanks to this rotation, we have managed to produce rice with a higher yield in soils where soybeans were previously planted.

Precision Agriculture: A New Era in Rice Production

We have adopted precision agriculture in our rice production, allowing us to monitor and control every step of the agricultural process. With the help of advanced John Deere technology, we can now have closer and more precise control over what happens in the field. This technology provides us with real-time data on crop health and performance, and allows us to detect and solve problems in a timely manner. The introduction of the first harvester with adaptable platform for rice and soybean harvesting in Paraguay marks a revolution in our production. This machine, designed to adapt to different types of terrain, allows us to have a more efficient and uniform harvest.

Commitment to Quality

From the first grain of rice planted to the last package that reaches the hands of the consumer, our goal is excellence. We firmly believe that the field is a place full of energy and life, and we strive to reflect that vitality in every grain of rice we produce.

With a combination of tradition, innovation, and commitment, Arroz Tío Nico has set a new standard in rice production in Latin America. That's why, when you think of quality rice, you think of Tío Nico.
