Alter Eco Ruby rice ( Khao Deng variety) is an ancient whole grain rice that is as nutritionally charged as it is colorful. Its crunchy texture and earthy flavored paired with a cocktail of essential proteins and minerals, making it an all-around sustainable choice! It is a rare grain that is found in Surin, a province in the East of Thailand situated along the Cambodian border. Inhabitants of this particular region have long relied on this nutritious rice as a complement to their daily diet.

Farmers of the Agrarian Cooperative of Surin cultivate the Alter Eco Red Rice using traditional farming methods that ensure quality and respect forthe 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.
