Portugal is one of the countries buying Spanish princiaples rice, but also a large producer, with about 150 million kilos of rice per year.

Rice production is distributed in 3 zones:

- Mondego area (area of Coimbra with excellent quality of Carolino rice),

- Riba Tejo area (downtown area, which includes Santarém, Cartaxo, Zamora),

- Sado area (Alcacer do Sal) with better climate, but many saline lands.

Since 2012, EDYPRO is present in Portugal, through its line of biotechnology products for growing rice.
