Thung Lor Organic Hom Mali Rice Project Chiang Rai-Phayao
Due to the demand of organic hom mali rice in the European Union at that time, Capital Rice Co., Ltd. was compelled to shift serious interest to feasibility studies into the cultivation of organic hom mali rice.
"Thung Lor" on the provincial boundary between Chiang Rai and Phayao was chosen as the site because most farmers in the area were already farming without the use of chemical, the farming plantation were fairly large and fertile, yielding one crop per year using rainfall as the main water source, with hom mali rice as the only crop.
