Hi-Rice – Organic rice cultivation with strong social impact
Organic rice cultivation using the Hi-Rice method changes lives. Together with Thai farming families, we create fair incomes, independence, and new prospects. Our partner farmers receive wages at the upper end of the Thai government's recommendations – regularly, safely, and with pride.
Instead of being dependent on large corporations, our farmers—together with their wives and adult children—are learning 100% organic rice cultivation. The result: young people returning to the countryside, economic stability, and new hope for entire villages. This is how functioning communities and a life of dignity are reborn.
Hi-Rice stands for win-win on every level: We produce climate-neutrally, use our own organic fertilizer, and pass on knowledge that lasts. Many farmers actively seek out collaboration with us because they sense trust, reliability, and a true partnership – no middlemen, no dependency, no uncertainty.
Together with Development Aid Switzerland/Sri Lanka, we support new school and training projects that secure education and a future. Our certification by Eaternity documents our minimal carbon footprint and confirms Hi-Rice's ecological pioneering role.
Hi-Rice combines social responsibility, ecological innovation and economic strength.
An investment that makes sense – and creates lasting value. 🌱
