Background and Objective: The production of soft dough stage Hom Mali rice, which combines traditional self-sustaining of germinated rice process with modern technology, enhances careers and incomes of Thai farmers. The study aimed: 1) to develop production process innovations and cultivation controls under perfect conditions for commercial industry; 2) to establish and enhance a network developing famers who apply smart farming techniques and intelligent agricultural systems throughout the production chain; and 3) to drive agricultural policy and improve the quality of life for local economies towards economic value added at the national level through the mechanisms of the Pracharath Agricultural Cooperative in Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
Methodology: Conceptual framework on system-integrated area-based development approach were employed, backward to the begining processes, integrating supply chain development. The target group consists of farmers across 4 districts in Nakhon Ratchasima. Collected using five principles of Korat Organic Standard (KOS), production manuals, evaluation tools, scientific and technological instruments, as well as conducting cultivation controls, workshops, monitoring forums, group processes, soil nutrient analysis, folate accumulation, nutrient and vitamin content assessment, branding and product design analysis, and spatial relationship evaluation.
Results: 1) This rice stage showed high folate and protein accumulation, corresponing with the sandy soil, manganese, iron content, electrical conductivity, and salinity. 2) 48 households over 89 rai produced 31 tons, distributed to health-conscious consumers and cooperatives througout Thailand. The product line was expanded to consist the prototype of ready-to-eat rice, jelly, children’s foods, and rice porridge. 3) The project-driving mechanisms included: (1) knowledge transfer from successful cases, (2) enrichment with new knowledge and methods, and (3) fostering integrated participation.
Discussion: The economic expansion impacts, value addition, and value creation for soft dough stage Hom Mali rice under local collaboration through principles of sustainable development were found. This approach creates opportunities and enhances product quality standards, further developing networks for farmers around Thailand.
Recommendations: The development of a commercial business model for soft dough stage Hom Mali rice is suggested to drive policy, encourage farmer careers, and enhance the economic quality of life at the grassroots level, finally increasing the value of Thai Hom Mali rice.
