diverse Latin American markets in the United States,
with a vast portfolio of “Products from Back home”
for Salvadorans, Central Americans, Mexicans,
Colombians, Bolivians, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, etc.
The current portfolio of “All Foods” supported by its
prestigious brand Doña Lisa, offers many products
such as rice and beans, pickled and conserved
vegetables, tropical canned soups, “atole” (a
cornmeal drink) powdered refreshments, refried
canned beans, etc. They have 300 products and
are working towards increasing their portfolio with
products such as tropical canned juices, tropical
concentrates, dehydrated sea food, frozen typical
dishes, etc., to accommodate the diversity of the
needs of the people from Latin American countries,
and allowing the company to increase its variety to
more than 500 food products in the United States,
Canada and around the world.
In 2008 it merged with the Grain Hill worldwide rice
group, covering South America, Europe and other
continents.
As a Salvadoran company, it employs 700 people
and maintains 4000 farmers. Social development is
an important issue for Arrocera San Francisco.
Its future plans are the unification of its brands in
Central America and to diversify in new areas such
as renewable energy; at present it has built (in
Nicaragua) its first biomass factory.
“The positive attitude and hardworking skills of the
Salvadoran people are the best assets to attract
foreign investment.”
