Children of immigrants who arrived from Europe—more specifically, from Poland—settled around 1936 in the colony that is still part of the city of Carmen del Paraná.

When mechanization began, we purchased a tractor around 1958. With great effort and by gaining the necessary knowledge, we carried out our agricultural work despite the challenges and hardships of farming.

We moved to the town of Carmen del Paraná, where we are still based today. As rice has always been our main business, we built a small rice mill within the urban area.

In 2000, we acquired the property where our operations are currently based and organized ourselves as a company. We believed that by working together and organizing ourselves, we could create opportunities for others to work.

Responding to the needs of the market, we embarked on the production of parboiled rice. At first, it seemed like a difficult challenge, but we believed that with God, anything is possible.

Having reached a level of production that exceeded domestic market demand, we began exporting our products to countries like Brazil—the largest consumer of rice—and Argentina.

Continuing our growth in international markets, in 2015 we successfully introduced our products into the European Union, marking an important milestone in the expansion of Molinos El País. Entering the European market required us to adapt to new and demanding quality standards, demonstrating that rice produced in Paraguay could compete and earn recognition in some of the world’s most demanding markets.

As part of our commitment to reaching new markets, in 2017 we obtained Kosher certification, ensuring that our products meet the established standards and requirements for this type of food. This certification opened the door to new markets and consumers within the Jewish community, expanding our international presence and creating new opportunities to market our products.

In response to the sustained growth in demand for our products, in 2019 we expanded our industrial infrastructure by 70%, significantly strengthening our production capacity. This expansion allowed us to support the growth of both our domestic and international markets, increasing our ability to meet rising demand while maintaining the quality standards that define our products.

Molinos El País took another step forward in its growth by beginning to grow its own rice. This decision was made in response to the increasing demands of international markets for greater traceability and volume, allowing the company to have more control over its raw materials and oversee the entire production process, from the field to the final product.

Continuing our growth and international expansion, in 2025 we opened our offices in Oklahoma City, United States, strengthening our presence and bringing us even closer to the North American market. That same year, we added a new rice receiving, storage, and drying facility, expanding our infrastructure and increasing our production capacity by 40% to meet the growing demand for our products.

With a growing industry and invaluable human capital, Molinos el País now exports to more than 40 countries around the world; our products hold various recognitions and certifications.
