Mr Ban said the organic rice was mainly grown for household consumption first and later promoted to village and then provincial supply. He said the organic rice produced by Ban Dok Bua is categorised into four types: hom mali jasmine rice, brown rice, "rice berry" and glutinous rice, with prices varying according to demand and manufacturing processes. Now in a position to jump on the organic bandwagon, Ban Dok Bua became an organic rice supplier in 2007. Its brand, called "Ban Dok Bua Organic Rice", debuted in the health food market in 2013. Mr Ban said the Ban Dok Bua organic rice group comprises 149 members.
