The jobs losses, to be implemented from next year and announced at 2pm today, will be from the Deniliquin and Leeton mills.
The company said while both mills will remain open, the small plantings for crop year 2020 mean shifts will drop to a one shift operation at both mills.
This will start from the end of the first quarter of 2020.
As a result, SunRice announced that 80 manufacturing and support staff will be affected.
Another 20 staff at SunRice’s storage subsidiary, Australian Grain Storage, will also be impacted.
This will bring the total number of job losses at SunRice’s Riverina operations to approximately 230 positions since reconfiguration commenced in November 2018.
SunRice said the 2020 crop is now expected to be smaller than the 2019 crop harvested earlier this year, which at 54,000 tonnes was the second lowest crop on record.
SunRice took significant steps, including putting record prices to growers in August 2019 in a bid to stimulate plantings for 2020, which has ensured that a milling program should be maintained at theDeniliquin and Leeton mills until at least early 2021.
"“It is with deep regret we have been forced to make another series of changes to our Riverina operations ahead of the 2020 harvest," SunRice CEO Rob Gordon said.
“We understand that these changes have been, and continue to be very unsettling, and we remain committed to providing as much notice as possible to our employees throughout the process.
"We will be doing all we can to support our employees and their families in the months ahead."
