Bono East Rice Limited is a rice processing company based in Techiman, Bono East Region, operating modern rice mills that contribute to Ghana's domestic rice production and food security initiatives. The company processes locally-grown paddy rice into polished rice for the Ghanaian market, supporting smallholder farmers in the region and reducing rice imports. As part of Ghana's agricultural value chain, the facility plays a vital role in the government's 'Planting for Food and Jobs' program and local rice industrialization efforts.
The company was established as part of Ghana's push to boost local rice production and reduce the country's heavy dependence on imported rice, which constitutes a significant portion of national consumption. Techiman's location in the Bono East Region, known as the 'food basket of Ghana' with its fertile lands and active agricultural markets, made it a strategic site for rice processing infrastructure. The facility aligns with government initiatives to promote agricultural mechanization and value addition in Ghana's rice sector.

The company operates during standard business hours, and appointments are recommended for site visits.
Techiman's massive central market operates on a three-day cycle and attracts traders from across West Africa, making the city a natural hub for agricultural processing companies like Bono East Rice Limited to access both raw materials and distribution networks for their products.
