Alter Eco Coral rice ( Khao Deng variety) is an ancient red grain that has been polished using an innovated technique. The polished grains remain red at the tips and have a natural coral color in the middle. The advantage of this technique is that the grains retain all the riches and minerals of the whole grain rice but are light and easy to digest. This original rice, developed in partnership with Alter Eco, is cultivated in Surin, a province in the East of Thailand.

Farmers of the Agrarian Cooperative of Surin cultivate the Alter Eco Coral Rice using traditional methods that ensure quality and respect for the environment. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been replaced with organic fertilizers and natural plant extracts to produce this premium quality, environmentally friendly rice.

Alter Eco takes fair trade a step further by supplementing the fair trade minimum revenue paid to farmers with an additional 'Alter Eco Development Premium' paid to their cooperative. At the Agrarian Cooperative of Surin, this premium, managed by the members, was invested in a factory for the processing and packaging of rice. They can now export directly, no longer having to rely on costly middlemen. In addition, profit from sales is being used to obtain organic certification and provide training programs.
