5th Generation Malagasy Farmers

Better Rice,
Better Life.

Where tradition meets scalable agriculture.

For five generations, our family has cultivated rice across Madagascar's highlands. Today, Oryza Pros transforms that legacy into a modern agribusiness — combining sustainable farming innovation with reliable B2B distribution to deliver consistent quality and long-term growth.

This is more than agriculture. It's a model for what responsible, scalable farming can look like — for Madagascar, and for the world.

Grown Locally, Cherished Daily

Rice (Vary) is more than food in Madagascar—it is a sacred symbol of life and prosperity. We harvest and supply three primary local varieties, sorted to the highest standards.

  • Vary Gasy (Malagasy Red Rice)

    An ancient heirloom variety featuring rich, earthy, nutty notes and high nutritional fibers. A cultural emblem of Madagascar.

  • Vary Lava (Premium Long Grain)

    Light, fluffy, and pristine long-grain white rice grown in the fertile riverbeds and valleys of the highlands.

  • Vary Aromatic (Local Jasmine Alternative)

    Exquisitely scented, sweet-smelling grain traditionally reserved for celebrations and special family gatherings.

Environmental Stewardship

Sustaining the Paddies,
Protecting the Biosphere

Madagascar boasts a unique, delicate ecosystem. Oryza Pros actively promotes the transition away from slash-and-burn agricultural clearing (Tavy) toward wet-terrace cultivation and the System of Rice Intensification (SRI).
