Alter Eco Thai White Jasmine Rice - as its name Hom Malee or 'scented rice' indicates - develops a delicate aroma when cooked and brings out the perfume of a jasmine blossom. This unique and natural aroma is a result of the dry, salty soil specific to the Isan plateau in Thailand. Alter Eco Thai White Jasmine Rice can be used as a main dish, a side dish or, as in Thailand, a snack!

The Surin cooperative was created in 1997, but the current members have been regrouping and working communally since 1993. Thanks to Fair Trade buying prices and a development premium managed by the members themselves, the cooperative was able to invest in a facility for de-husking, sorting and packaging the rice. In this way they are able to increase the percentage of the final product price that goes to them. The members also avoid the added cost of multiple transports during the various stages of transformation. The close collaboration between Alter Eco and the Surin cooperative has led to the creation of three new cooperatives, currently in the process of starting their activity.
