2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

A group of 253 farmers had participated in organic rice production covering an area of 6,000 rai at Ban Naso, Naso Sub-district, Kutchum District, Yasothon Province since 1989 by using organic fertilizers (compost). The produced organic rice has been certified since 1989 as meeting the standard by OACT and IFOAM; it has been exported more than 3,000 tons/yr.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

The distinctive character of this farmer group is the integration for producing organic crops by using organic fertilizers from agricultural by-products and residues from organic-fermented liquid kitchen wastes and green manure. The group of farmers has been successfully supported by private and public organizations. The main objectives are to produce organic rice for export for higher income, with the aim at better health of farmers and consumers for having been saved from agricultural chemical residues. The concept of organic rice production has been the use of organic fertilizers by farmers participation. The establishment of learning and training center has been an important tool to scale up and scale out the activities; the certification of the products has been necessary to promote the export. The stages of implementation have been as follows: (1) formulate and prioritize policy and plan by the committee of 20 farmers from the group; (2) organize meetings for the 253 farmer members to determine rice varieties and after-rice vegetables; (3) purchase raw materials for making compost by 3 sources of funds: a. from the group by selling compost to non-members; b. the private export companies pay a premium of approx. 300,000 THB/yr to the group; and c. the government agencies support the materials for learning and training. The model of using organic fertilizers to produce organic crops is scaling out to 33 farmer groups in various districts of Yasothon Province. The main crop production has been the organic rice, which is collected at the center for export. The implementation includes crop planting, maintenance, harvest, certification, and selling. The stakeholders’ responsibilities are: 253 farmers in the group produce and sell their own products in the green markets, restaurants and hospitals, while private companies purchase the rice for export. The concerned government agencies are listed as: the Land Development Department provides the knowledge of making compost and organic-fermented liquid and also distributes green manure seeds and activators of bacteria and fungi for compost fermentation. Department of Agricultural Extension provides funding in establishing the learning and training center and materials used for training. Agricultural Cooperatives Promotion Department supports the knowledge of household accounting. Department of Groundwater provides groundwater irrigation by drilling holes 30-40 m deep. Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency provides solar cells as the source of energy. Some private organizations such as OACT and IFOAM etc. certify the organic food products. The farmer groups have been fully satisfied of the quality of their rice products that well serve the market demand and they get higher income as a result. Farmers are healthier and are safe from agricultural chemical residues; all of them are proud of their high quality rice products to export.
