Arroz Camil cereal

Camil is one of the most iconic food brands in South America, particularly famous for its high-quality rice and beans. The brand was founded in 1963 in the city of Itaqui, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Initially starting as a local cooperative of rice producers, it has grown into a leader in the Latin American food sector.

Today, the brand is owned by Camil Alimentos S.A., a multinational food giant headquartered in São Paulo. The company maintains an extensive industrial park and distribution network, ensuring its products are staples in household pantries across the continent. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Brazil, but the company also operates significant processing plants in neighboring countries like Uruguay and Chile to support its international supply chain.

Camil Alimentos has expanded its portfolio over the decades to include canned fish and sugar, consolidating its position through strategic acquisitions. Despite its massive size, the company remains deeply rooted in its Brazilian heritage while being a major player on the global stock market.
