Improving the life quality of farmers who produce organic jasmine rice related to the strategic plan can be a chance to build a stable career. The research objective is to study the development process of environmental, economic, social outcomes and formulate management strategies. Through the development of traditional rice production potential to organic jasmine rice in Nakhon Ratchasima, the sample of 400 cases of unknown population was determined by a specific selection method. It used a questionnaire with a consistency index between 0.60-1.00 and interview forms were approved by experts. Small group discussion was collected, and the surveys and in-depth interviews were conducted. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics to measure the level of improvement process by percentage, together with the opinion level with an average, and analyze the content by arranging and prioritizing. The results showed that most farmers do not want to stop the conversion to organic jasmine rice. Their opinions about the conditions for the conversion of traditional rice production to organic jasmine rice were at a moderate level. The cost of producing jasmine rice with chemical fertilizer was 4,168.29 baht per rai, while organic jasmine rice was 3,615.60 baht per rai, and the overall outcomes were at a moderate level. This study can formulate strategies for restructuring land use and strategies for promoting organic jasmine rice production, following the principles of sufficiency economy, and become as a guideline to develop the production capacity of organic jasmine rice with partnerships to achieve the effective goals.
