The Moral Rice Value Network
The Moral Rice Value Network is a business model of multi-partnership that includes business enterprises throughout the supply chain of organic Hommali Rice. All participating farmers in the project vowed to observe a set of moral codes i.e. abstinence from alcohol drinking, smoking and gambling. These farmers create a brand, “Moral Rice,” which is meant to induce trust in their customers that the product is genuine organic Hommali Rice. Eventually, the new brand has successfully helped farmers overcome the falling prices of rice. Altogether, there are 119 moral rice farmers, who are members of the Dhama Ruamjai Group in Yasothon Province. The group has its own motto, “Strong Moral Codes, high working skills and good knowledge,” to guide their farming activities in the supply chain system, which makes it unique.

The Sampran Value Business Group
The Sampran Value Business Group is another innovative value network business model. It is located at the Rose Garden Hotel, Sampran district, Nakorn Pratom province. The business group was founded by the owner of Rose Garden Hotel. The CAI provided the group with technical support in applying the principles of self-help and mutual help to overcome pollution from chemical-based farming in the neighborhood. The model promoted farmers' understanding and awareness of the benefits of organic farming that could contribute to their better living conditions and economic success.
In this project, the “Sukjai Market” (Happy Market) was set up as a weekend market, where orchard farmers in the surrounding communities could bring their organic products to sell free of charges. The production of organic products was under close supervision of the CAI and the Rose Garden Hotel. Participating farmers did not only earn more than 1 million baht a month from selling their organic products, but they also learned about the principles of marketing, food safety as well as Good Agricultural Practice (GAP). Hence, the Sukjai Market has become the living learning center for everyone in the community
