last batch of rice for distribution. 75 kg. in total, i distributed 300 kg of rice over the last week.. have another 300 kg in upcountry for own consumption.
we have been donating a small portion of our harvest to a few charity organisations. we also give away the rice to friends and associates, staffs and customers. difference is ours is freshly harvested rice or new rice.Distributing rice, as a part of your donation or contribution to the needy?
Do you consume 300 kg of rice a year?
We consume 2 cups of rice a week.

What more need a man ask for every morning - a nice pickup truck, Thai country music, the freeway and maybe a ciggie between his fingers . . . . . . . . this is life
left out something very important. there are also warehouses in the countries where the rice are exported. for eg. sg will have their own warehouse manage by the local importers. so by the time, it reach the consumers, the rice is really quote old.no problem. freshly harvested rice are usually sold to middlemen for export or dosmeic consumption. as the harvest season are almost the same thought out the country, the rice are held at warehouse in a first in first out system. meaning the oldest rice in storage will be sold first. for many harvest, there is a likelihood of over production but the middlemen will still take in the excess rice and release it at the right time. by doing this, the price of rice will be very stable and won't drop too much when there is over production.
the warehouse also protect against sharp price increase if the harvest is bad as the warehouse has stock of previous harvest. that will be very old rice.

Thanks Roti, please refer to the following website on the grades.Sounds like you are an expert. Are there different types of hom mali rice? If so, what are some of the varieties that are highly valued or prized? Is the provenance (where it is grown) important in perceived quality i.e. is rice from the north better or north-east or central or south etc?
For example, with medium-grain rice (which is what I eat mostly), Japanese varieties like koshihikari, hitomebore are highly desired, much more expensive. Even with the same varieties, where the rice is grown is a large factor in how desirable it is.
Congrats on your new business!
Hehehe. Lucky you. This time round, the packaging size is 15kg per sack. :pBetter put your nice boss desk to good use :p Btw, 1st pic kinda amm so so ..reminds us of some not so legit joint (like the 1 we missed out in afternoon at Sattahip) :p.

As for grading, it is quite subjective as it is graded by human using random sampling. For example, If I have 20 tonnes of rice, they will only selective test a few bags. The north east grains will be the better quality due to climate and geographical reasons. For example, the same grain, if planted in different region will be different.
Another factor is cultivation method. The northerner cultivated their rice crops on hills whereas the north eastener on flat land.
yes, dominated by the few families or cartels. the original khao san road was the place where rice merchants used to do their biz.On things rice, cbfc you right on middle men doing the rice trade (thai chinese?). And the socialist buy back scheme has economic repercusisons
