The RBE Group of Companies has signed a strategic partnership agreement with “National,” Russia’s largest producer of dry goods, providing for the direct purchase of more than 10,000 metric tons of round-grain rice in 2026.
The key factors in choosing this long-term partnership were the consistently high quality of the products and the reputation of the “National” brand, which consumers and industry professionals associate with reliability, the purity of raw materials, and adherence to production standards at every stage of manufacturing.
The contract stipulates fixed prices and volumes for the entire supply period, and the transition to working directly with the manufacturer has yielded tangible economic benefits. This is particularly important in the context of fulfilling government contracts.
Logistics are organized on an ex-works basis: the company picks up the goods using its own transportation and delivers them to its distribution centers.
Given the successful start to the partnership, RBE has already confirmed its intention to extend the contract beyond 2026 and is negotiating with AFG National to expand the range of products supplied. This will ensure that obligations under government contracts are met and help strengthen food security.
