Matco Rice is a name synonymous with the heritage of Pakistan. Founded by Syed Sarafaraz Ali Ghori in 1964, Matco supplied rice processing plants and machinery to the Government of Pakistan and has to its credit some of the earliest rice processing plants set up by the Rice Export Corporation of Pakistan (RECP). In 1970, at a time when direct export of rice were not allowed in the private sector, Matco set up its own rice processing plant in Larkhana, Sindh and sold processed rice to RECP, the exclusive Government controlled export body.
