ARLINGTON, VA – USA Rice recently welcomed four new members, three to the USA Rice Millers’ Association (RMA), and one to the USA Rice Merchants’ Association.
The new Merchant member is Consolidated Grain and Barge Company, also known as
CGB Enterprises Inc. Founded in 1969, CGB provides an array of services for grain, transportation, and risk management industries.
“CGB is a global company with more than 100 locations,” said Ryan Carwell, chair of the USA Rice Merchants’ Association. “The Merchants are excited to have them join our ranks, and we look forward to their input.”
Of the three new RMA associate members, two are based in Missouri, Global Gateway Logistics in Saint Louis, and Inland Cape Rice Company in Cape Girardeau; and one in the UK, S&P Global Platts.
