MADRID, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Spanish olive oil producer SOS said on Thursday it was selling its rice division for 195 million euros ($260 million) to Spanish food company Ebro Foods.

If the deal is approved by SOS's creditors, Ebro will also subscribe 50 million euros of a capital hike SOS is carrying out, giving it a stake of around 10 percent in the company.

Traders said the price paid for the rice business was in line with market expectations.
