Tio Mingote rice

Tio Mingote is a traditional Brazilian rice brand known for its parboiled and long-grain varieties. It is part of the extensive product portfolio of Josapar (Joaquim Oliveira S.A. Participações), one of Brazil's largest and most historic food companies, founded in 1922 in Rio Grande do Sul.

The brand is manufactured exclusively in Brazil, utilizing domestic rice crops primarily from southern regions. Josapar has maintained its status as a leading national producer for over a century, managing Tio Mingote alongside its flagship brand, Tio João. The brand operates under the ultimate ownership of Josapar, which remains a Brazilian conglomerate headquarters in Porto Alegre, specializing in grain processing and food distribution.
