Ship It To Me: Kellogg Company sees Louisiana Rice Mill, LLC as a 'strategic supplier'

摘要

For any industry to run smoothly and profitably, each facet has to understand the roles and goals of all the other facets. And the rice industry is no different. For example, breeders develop varieties; farmers grow the crop; millers mill the grain and sell it to industrial buyers, who, like Kellogg Company, produce products that consumers want and trust. According to John Morgan, vice president of Louisiana Rice Mill, LLC in Crowley, Supreme Rice Mill, which was bought by Louisiana Rice Mill in 2007, had a very long history with Kellogg, dating back to the 1940s when Joseph Dore, Sr. started Supreme Rice Mill. Bill Dore, who represents the third generation of the family, stayed on board after Louisiana Rice Mill acquired Supreme Rice Mill and, today, is the vice president of sales and manages the entire Kellogg's relationship.
